Visitor centre

Had a great day out on the Sir Walter Scott boat. These are very interesting stories of old and new stuff too. The captain kept us well entertained and informed. He tells a good story.

Has changed hell of a lot since I last visited..no animals but I think maybe that's because they have developed forge mill farm on the other side of sandwell Valley.. interesting little museum and a very nice cafe..was very happy that my grandads memorial bench is still there..free entry during week days..not sure about weekends. Well worth a visit.

Honestly, I had no idea that near us is this welcoming small farm. It was amazing to see my kids being allowed to touch the lambs and to feed them. Whoever wants to have a pleasant time can go here. Please, remember to have some coins so you can donate for the farm. Nice people are there, we've met Leslie which is a very reliable person and very fun. We'll be back.

I had the worst time working with the staff of this distillery. I emailed in plenty of time to ask for the opportunity to visit a special tasting room they opened recently and taste some of the special reserve bottles (in the hopes to buying a few!) and the email back from the manager confirmed I’d be able to access the room and experience as a previous tour was finishing as we arrived so it seemed like everything was set up! However, when I got there the manager forgot that she spoke to me and she said they are very rigid in keeping to the tour times and will not be flexible for travelers to allow me access to the room or try any of the reserve tastings that I paid extra for. I think this is a bad business model with so much tourism in Orkney, to not be flexible enough to work with visitors who plan in advance and ask politely for help so the can maximize on experiencing their business! I happily paid for more access but instead of getting the experience I had hoped for, I was refunded and sent away due to her inability to articulate the logistics of her tour services. I had to explain to my entire tour group and my family that I was rejected and it was so embarrassing and upsetting. I don’t know how complicated it would have been, pouring a few more things for me to taste and letting me into a room for a minute to enjoy the craftsmanship and the view.

Really not good ,no heating,very cold.Dirty towels, broken toilet door,other peoples clothes on the floor,dirty wet wipes left on ,,, its really worth spending the extra 10 15 quid to go somewhere clean and warm. Disasapointing.

We were at Dumbles cafe and not the farm park so can't comment on the farm park.Floralands is quite different to the Hollybeck garden centre.There are some really different gift options available here and the small gift cabins. Nice for a local run out.

Wonderful sanctuary for horses of all sizes. Plenty of paddocks, with info on the resident horses, and how they came to be at Redwings. Some stories so sad, but a marvellous place for them to come to. Nice gift shop, free parking, free entry, they ask for a donation, which goes towards the upkeep of the horses. Spotlessly clean toilets, and huge re-homing centre at bottom of centre, all new, with stables, and many horses to say hello to. Friendly staff, and will definitely return again.

Polite friendly staff .remembered I had asked a question 2 yes ago just before covid that did get resolved but was promptly resolved by staff Thank you

New place visit Centre cafe. When you need a rest and drink after a walk. Looks very lovey, clean and tidy. Nice atmosphere, lots of lovely food and cakes to try and eat. Just would like more leave fits and information area. Lovely big toilet and it's all on ground level which is very helpful to visits. Could do with a bigger sign at the side of the building and also a small car park would be very helpful for visits that can, t walk far. Also some soft back ground music may be nice. On and off though the day. Plus could have information on tree, s birds and wildlife. Plus pants very good for leaning. And may treasure hunt tails for all to do if they wish. Do love it as it is, but you may like to do some of my ideas in time, may help to keep you busy through the week. All the best many thanks to the stuff.

Absolutely lovely time. I tried weaving. Excellent lunch , coronation chicken, and drink . Beautiful gardens , feed ducks lovely mill walk great time.
