Sewerby Hall & Gardens Review (Place Reviews) (Reviews)

Review by Warren Woodhouse

Rating: 4.8 stars

Beautiful and well looked after gardens, plenty of parking for disabled people, it’s a shame you can’t take dogs on leashes through the house or cafe. Otherwise, I’ve really enjoyed my visit.

Dog friendly attraction. The quiz adds a bit of fun. Delightfully simple, quaint and you can see the attention to detail of newly painted buildings, well kept gardens. Highly recommended.

Filey Bird Garden and Animal Park Review (Place Reviews) (Reviews)

Review by Warren Woodhouse

Rating: 5 stars

A beautiful zoo, the animals are happy. Very limited parking spaces for disabled people, there are no payment options for disabled people. We really enjoyed our time there and it’s incredibly well looked after and it even has a sensory garden as well. Highly recommend.

Shockingly overpriced for a regular fish and chips, you have to pay for parking, no disabled parking bays, miserable staff, slow service for food orders. Appalling.
