I was passing by on the way home and stopped here for a break. What a lovely place to visit for all the family. Beautiful grounds and walks. A cafe with a nice selection of food and drinks. There is a shop with a variety of goods including a large selection of cards and some jewelery. I came away a few bob lighter.

This is a little gem. Fantastic place very old bit tired could do with a tidy up but it's free donation if you want to give but the interior is well worth seeing. Parkland massive plenty of space for dogs and kids to run about. Great to take a picnic with kids. Cafe a bit small could do to be bigger. Only criticism people were leaving dog muck all over the place not good at all.

Came to visit oakwell hall country park and I had a wonderful time! From the moment I arrived at the hall, I was welcomed by the lovely Emma, who was absolutely amazing. She took the time to show me around the beautiful building, sharing fascinating stories and facts about its history. It was magical to see the house set out just as it would have been years ago, such a special experience. I found the whole visit so interesting and enjoyable. I can’t thank Emma enough for her time and passion- she really made the visit extra special. Highly recommend a visit to Oakwell Hall and I will definitely be going again. While there I had such a lovely visit to The Willows Coffee Shop! The staff were so friendly and welcoming and they really couldn’t do more for me. The food and drinks were gorgeous, I had a panini, homemade chips, and a pumpkin spiced latte- it was such a cosy and relaxing spot, I’ll definitely be visiting again soon.
