We had a fantastic day out at Hamerton Zoo and Park! The zoo itself is beautifully kept. It had spotless pathways, clean enclosures, and a real sense that the animals are well cared for. It’s a lovely place to explore and perfect for families looking for a relaxed, nature filled outing. One of the absolute highlights for us was the Dinosaur Express Train Ride, it was such a fun and unique experience! The train takes you on a gentle ride past life-sized dinosaur models, which were a huge hit with the kids and surprisingly impressive for the adults too. A definite must do if you’re visiting! All of the staff we encountered throughout the park were polite and welcoming, and the whole place had a calm, friendly atmosphere. On a less positive note, I purchased a souvenir mug for my husband at the end of the visit. Unfortunately, there were no boxes available, so I asked for it to be wrapped to prevent any damage on our way home. The gentleman who served us was very helpful and more than happy to assist. However, the female staff member who was also present was quite unpleasant. She rolled her eyes, sighed loudly, and returned with the mug wrapped in a single sheet of kitchen towel, which felt a bit dismissive and unprofessional, especially considering it was a fragile item. Despite that small disappointment, our overall experience at Hamerton Zoo and Park was really enjoyable, and I’d still highly recommend a visit. It’s a wonderful day out for all ages, with great attractions, lovely animals, and mostly excellent staff.

Always loved Hamerton Zoo. Used to visit a lot with my children now have purchased season ticket to take grandson. Not too far for us so can go regularly. Love the bird house and nice to see the improvements over the years with lots undercover. Nice enclosures. Play park vastly improved. Large cat area still being updated. Cafe whilst improved facilities is seriously lacking. Food pretty awful but coffee and cake fine. Missing a trick I think as some good healthy food choices & a range of cakes would be far better. Didn't see any baby food options. Gift shop looks OK but at the end of the day am going to see the animals so its a fab day out!

Massive area, plenty to see. A range of animals that are clearly taken care of. This can be seen with nails, fur, food it is individual care for each animal. Staff are very busy which shows their priority. Unfortunately not many big cats, 2 Tigers and 1 Cheetah. There is a big child's play area which is sublime. The food was limited and VERY difficult for Gluten Free Diet. Which needs to be changed. The animals liek Gabons and Lemurs need more space. The floor area was pristine tidy!! Great job team. No one seen smoking. There was Vapes

BEST Zoo i’ve attended. It brought me back to childhood. I cannot express how thoroughly i enjoyed the vast amount of animals, the expansive nature of the zoo park is great for a full days worth of fun! We came during the October half term and did not feel overwhelmed with people because there is a great amount of space, easy parking, large spacious bathrooms that were cleaned throughout the day. I cannot say a bad word. The cafe serve tasty hot meals, quick to arrive and reasonably priced. The cafe was a squeeze however, we attended during the lunch time rush, there is outdoor seating if you can brave the cold. Hot drinks and cakes also available. I feel Hamerton zoo park is brilliant for all ages- my daughter fell in love with the amazing playground with a zip line, high climbing frame and interesting cube maze that was fun and challenging. We will certainly be back with more family in the Summer.

We had a good day. There was plenty to do but they need better signage to indicate where the train tickets are sold. The train was good for younger children. Lots of animals although we couldn't see that many. Maybe it was too hot and a lot were sheltering from the sun. Adventure playground very good for all ages.

Really good zoo! Had such a good variety of animals. We went on a day where it rained a little and a lot of the main walk ways have shelter which was ideal. Pushchair friendly. We loved seeing the animals and we loved the train ride that you can pay extra to go on. The play area for kids was incredible. Never seen anything like it. Perfect for little kids and older kids. Will deffo be back.

Brilliant place. Big enough for a day out, small enough to get around again if somethings not out. Some very unusual zoo based critters, we say around 6 or 7 we've never seen before. For example wombats, ardwolves, dingos, brown hyenas Really kid friendly, play areas are very good. Very wheel chair and mobility scooter friendly. It"s clearly a zoo that's growing, the animals look really happy and breeding. Can't wait to keep visiting and see whose next to arrive. Cafe is limited for gluten free, but you can get a jacket, chips and I think the burger or 1 of the hotdogs.

A lovely spot for brunch. A slightly up market approach to breakfast left us feeling full and satisfied. A delicious breakfast and kind staff made us feel welcome and relaxed in this beautifully old building. Made our visit to Stilton worthwhile. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick coffee or a delicious breakfast. The dinner menu looked amazing and I wish I could have stayed for it. I hope you enjoy!

I love this hotel / coaching inn. It’s beautiful and historic with wonderful friendly helpful staff, especially Hannah. Just had a lovely supper. We know we will be having a great breakfast tomorrow because we’ve stayed here before. Stilton is so handy if you travelling up or down the A1. It’s not far to Stamford and many other places. This historic coaching inn is in what is now a quiet village is definitely worth a visit/ overnight stay.

Came to town for a wedding, allowed us to check in early for no extra charge. Upstairs room was quite hot even though it wasn’t a hot evening, but a fan was provided. Polite staff, nice selection of beers.

We had an excellent Sunday lunch upstairs at The Bell. The roasts were great - good portions - and the puddings finished us off (in a good way). We were served by the delightful Hannah and were looked after impeccably. Highly recommended.

We dined here on Sunday for the first time. Every aspect of our meal was excellent, from our arrival to our departure. Special mention to our waitress Hannah, she was friendly, efficient & polite. Thank you Hannah !

This really is a gem of a place to eat stay or hold an event. We were there for a wake to celebrate a beloved friends life, and they did a fantastic job. The atmosphere was so cosy and calming. The hotel , as we had booked to stay the night was all you could want from a charming 15th century establishment. The place was oozing character. Everything in the room was emaculate. The bed comfortable, unsuite super duper. The shower was hot and pressure good. Complimentary tray was nice, and the evening meal menu was very good, and the prices for both the room meal and breakfast were very fair. The breakfast was amazing. It shows that you only get one sausage, bacon, egg etc, but you get 2! plenty of toast, and cereals fruits and juices. lovely little breakfast area. Everywhere you look there is something of interest. packed full of history. The seating areas outside are also lovely. Good off road carport. The staff were exceptionally friendly...I don't think you could ask for more. I just wish we were there under happier circumstances, but I'm so pleased the bereaved family held the wake here. It did them proud for sure. We are from north Wales but we're sure to stop here for a break when we visit the area as we have family abd friends not to far away. Thank you very much to the proprietor and staff .

I have left a 2 star purely on the attitude of the female manager I came in for a coffee on my own and just sat taking everything in and relaxing . This manager was not welcoming one bit and had a face like thunder didn't make any eye contact and I athought she must be just having a bad day but still .. I witnessed her talking to her staff (who I must say have always been extremely friendly even under such pressure in what is sometimes a very busy and demanding setting as I have witnessed during times I have visited with friends and family on previous occasions) very abruptly which is such a shame as the staff appeared to have everything in hand but just kept getting moaned at. As being a manager of a busy setting myself I know only to well respect your staff create a good team you will get the most out of them. I found my experience this particularly day quite upsetting for those poor staff. Maybe this manager could do with some training herself 😪
