The exclusive hire was perfect, the food was brilliant and the staff went above and beyond, even sorting party bags for the theme of the party. We visit regularly as guests anyway and would always recommend the little play barn, but the customer service for their party was even better than a regular visit. Sophie who looked after us genuinely couldn’t do enough and is just the loveliest person. She was so welcoming, helpful, and ensured we had everything we needed and more. Thank you all so much again for such a fantastic celebration xxx · via Google [Lauren Rochford](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107776169780796689214/reviews) ★★★★★ Avoid. Absolute dive. If something is so cheap that the price must be too good to be true then believe it is. We went before 11AM on a weekday, one other person present so no excuse for the state it was in. Toilet was in a disgusting state and the whole role play was poor - filthy stained toys with missing parts, broken parts or a fire truck which is actually a broken bed frame? Not safe or pleasant for little ones. Left after 10 minutes as it really was dire, reported the mud and mess to the man serving in the kitchen who seemed surprised; which is strange as I don’t think that state was caused by the one other young child present only an hour after opening. So many better options nearby, highly recommend Little P’s in Walsall for similar but 100x better. · via Google [Wiktoria Dudzinska](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/109593633588679680099/reviews) ★★★★★ This place must be avoided at all cost. It should’ve been welcoming and prepared for kids to play instead it was absolutely freezing, after 40 mins we’ve left. It’s really dirty and dusty. The state of the toilet… bare in mind we came in first! Attached is a picture of how dangerous and unsafe it is… I genuinely hate writing reviews like this one but I’d never come back no matter how cheap it is… · via Google [Anne-marie power](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/107615248855048326717/reviews) ★★★★★ Have visited here a few times with my little boy. The staff are always friendly. Was lovely to see the room busy today as most times we go there is limited people in there. The back room is cold and this is the only downfall. There is a small heater which people tend to sit on due to feeling cold. If the heating in the room could be sorted it would make a perfect atmosphere and people would spend longer. · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x4870a3f353b39b89:0x8d86602c0e975436!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) Visitors say this play cafe offers a wide variety of toys and dress-up items for kids, with delicious food and coffee at reasonable prices, all supported by friendly staff.
