GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY PLC REVIEWS

Myself and the wife paid an unplanned trip to this wonderful old station today and took a steam train trip to Leicester North and return, it was brilliant and the lovely sunny weather added to the day being a special one . All staff were friendly, welcoming and informative, thanks to all for making our day a memorable one.

Took the normal steam train to Leicester and back. Was a very nice trip with a great buffet on board, very friendly staff and reasonable priced. The station, trains and staff take you back in time. Would really recommend!

We were bought a Vintage 1st Class dining experience as a wedding gift. We had a really lovely time. The staff were attentive and the food was lovely. The ride lasted about 2hrs. An excellent experience.

STONEHURST FARM REVIEWS

We were looking for somewhere fairly local to visit as a family at short notice. Google brought this place up, so we had a quick look at the website and booked for a family of 4 for the next day. It's a 40-minute journey for us and is easy to find with sat nav. Parking is decent and free, which is always a bonus. The entry staff were very friendly and helpful and gave us a good explanation of the farm and where to find things. You can have a map to help. There is a tractor ride around the farm, sitting on hay bales in an enclosed large trailer. The animals all look very well cared for and are tame. We fed lots of greedy sheep. The farm chickens are a bit cheeky with picnics and like to jump on your table to inspect. The play area is nice for the younger kids. The car museum is quite cramped and very tightly packed in. More space would make it more enjoyable, but even so, we still had a nice look at the stuff. We spent a good few hours here, and really enjoyed it.

Amazing farm with so much to do including a tractor ride, small animal petting and when we visited feeding the lambs. Staff were so friendly and helpful and all of us adults and kids had the best day. Excellent kids play areas which was well enjoyed and seeing all the baby animals was so special. We also had lunch in their on site cafe and it was really good and well priced. We will definitely be back and hopefully have time to visit the farm vehicles museum on site that we ran out of time for!!

Small farm which is good for kids for their activities. Animals are friendly and Staff available for all kind of support. Fresh vegetables and fruits available to buy. Olden car collection are farm set-up is available which takes us to olden era.

CHARNWOOD MUSEUM REVIEWS

Very interesting, took my elderly parents and they remembered using a lot of the items on display . The history of our town the hosiery ,beaumanor hall and lots of other interesting facts. Will take my grandchildren here as well ,I think they will learn a great deal.

Beautiful park and amazing museum. So interesting. Lots about past industries in Loughborough, archaeological history of the area, nature and much more. Such a pleasant surprise. Two hours of looking at exhibits and reading information. Nice cappuccino and sandwich in the cafe too!

A great little museum with no charge to enter. Perfect for taking young schoolchildren to.
