Our grand kids visited the shop and painted some pottery. The choice was terrific and the lady owner had limitless patience. Well worth the visit.

Beatrix Potter Exhibition

Reviewed By icklehp

Lovely morning playing with a 4 year old and 18 month year old with grandparents too. Lovely to see and play with old fashioned toys and reminisce. Beautiful presentations and drawings around the room and good information about Beatrix potter and her links to Scotland. We didn't go in the garden as very wet but will do next time. The gift shop was well stocked and had some lovely things.
