Just had my first visit to Peaceful Haven today and have already booked my next visit . I was so impressed with Yvonne and her professionalism, knowledge and passion for her job. Made me feel relaxed as soon as I arrived . The treatment I had was Indian head massage with hot stones, can’t recommend this treatment or Yvonne highly enough ,

Calderglen Country Park

Fun park to explore with children's zoo. The park itself is quite big and features various animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, wallabies, marmosets, meerkats, snakes, reptiles and fish.

Reviewed By scottc1985 - Larkhall, United Kingdom

I came here on Saturday 10th of April 2021 with my wife and 2 year old son. The park has has a children's zoo, tropical glasshouse, ornamental gardens, nature trails, adventure & toddler Play areas, Gift shop, Café, exhibition gallery and a Golf Course! We went to the zoo and adventure & toddler Play areas. The zoo is small and only has some small animals but it's great for under 5's and very cheap to get in. The adventure park has one of the biggest slides I've ever seen and my son went flying down it even though he's only 2 and absolutely loved it!

Went for a family lunch to enjoy an afternoon together. Was expecting a nice lunch, but it turned out to be absolutely fab. 3 different choices between the 4 at our table and each and every person said it’s was fantastic. Some great quirky desserts and just a great place to be. Service first class. Food and menu explained to you. Presentation of food is wonderful and the taste is superb. A great team and is far better than what it expires to be. Very very good food. Well done and thank you.
