A customer wrote: “A really nice outing with the family. Booked online and once you arrive are directed to the strawberry fields and given your baskets. There was plenty of parking and the fields are signposted so easily can navigate through them.
“The field we were allocated had plenty of fresh ripe strawberries. The quality and taste of the strawberries was lush. There is also farm shop and tearoom if you want to buy some organic and home made products. Would definitely recommend this for anyone wanting to visit.”
