Visited yesterday with my three children after first discovering it on holiday a few years ago. Kept them entertained all day with two great play areas and a chocolate workshop. Food in the cafe is amazing and shop is really reasonable.

Unfortunately my son became overwhelmed during the workshop and ended up under the table for much of experience. The staff were absolutely incredible with the whole family, him, us and helping make sure our other two still enjoyed their experience. Cannot thank you enough for how kind and accommodating you were, truly went over and above to support us. As parents we’re used to managing these situations, but the effort the team put in made it so much easier for us and meant we didn’t need to cut everyone’s day short.

Look forward to visiting again next time we’re in the area!

We booked the family chocolate making experience which was really good fun. Be warned you get to eat a lot of chocolate. We got to make three chocolate items which was good fun and my daughter got a chocolate tattoo which she happily ate a few seconds later. There's a decent outdoor play area as well as a soft play. There's a good cafe offering hot food. I had coffee to try and counter the amount of sugar I ate. Well worth a morning or afternoon.

Well worth the visit. The workshop was great value and very well organised. Every staff member we encountered throughout our visit was extremely helpful and our workshop hostess was an absolute delight - a real credit to the cocoabean company! Thanks for a great day 👍🏼

My children love it here and we make sure to visit each time we holiday in Galloway. We managed to get a term time chocolate workshop session which was discounted and included play entry too, so a fantastic deal. We have spent at least 3/4 hours each time we've been. Staff are friendly, facilities are clean and food is excellent.

First time there. We took our granddaughter who had a great time. She thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate making experience. Also a very comprehensive menu for meals with large portions. We will definitely be back.

We booked the adult workshop for 4 people. The whole experience was fantastic! Super tasty chocolate we got to taste throughout. We were able to be creative with our creations, and the staff are super nice. Once done, we were given fancy packaging for our chocolates and a fancy bag to take them home in. Absolutely love it - will definitely go again!

Spent the whole day here.
Me, my brother & his daughter.
We played outside in the park & pirate ship.
My brother was making chocolate with his daughter for about an hour in the factory.
We all had lunch.
Then my niece played in the indoor soft play.

Enjoyed our visit, making chocolates. The only thing annoying was there café were not doing hot food at that time, possibly due to staff shortage. A wee email advising this at the time would have been great. Was still a great visit and the chocolate was yummy 😋

First time visit for my 6 year old grandaughter, paid for the play pass which was excellent value for money. Loved meeting Peppa too. Outdoor play is fantastic, myself, grandaughter & grandad spent hours playing hide & seek 😀. We will definitely be back.

What a fantastic place my kids are adults now but this would have been amazing for the with both the indoor and outdoor play areas. We went on the adult chocolate making experience and Kiera was just great. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time and at first you think £27 per person is a little steep for 45 to 60 minutes it was well worth it with the chocolates you make and all the consumables involved and we all came away with a presentation bag with our various creations. The finishing touch was the thank you email received later that day. Well done everyone 👏
