My little girl loves this place to bits! And looks forward to her weekend visits. Great place to keep the kids busy while the mommies and daddies can catch up on coffee. Sing along mornings are just fantastic too.

It's paradise for young kids! Brought my 18 month old who is an absolute rascal and he was loving it! Looooads of toys and activity tables etc for kids up to 4-5yo. Nice little menu for both kids and adults. Great for parties too! Spend as much time as you like, there's tables and chairs for chilling out. Shoes are left outside the room by everyone so it's actually fairly clean! Very happy with our first time over all definitely coming back!

I love this place. It is perfect for pre-schoolers and is well designed so you can have a coffee while your children play. The staff are brilliant. The menu for adults is wide and very good and the menu for children is genius, the best I've ever seen. There's something for even the pickiest eater. My only criticism is that sometimes the music is too loud. Bring your slippers as it has a no shoe policy!

Fantastic place for smallies while parents can get a coffee and chat in.. child safety gate blocks the door so the children cant get out! No shoes allowed so bring your socks or they'll provide shoe covers. Friendly staff, overall great place

We just found this place with my daughter and we really love it. It is an amazing, calm place with a beautiful view. The coffee was nice, and they have a nice food menu. Can't wait to go again. We are going to be regulars.
