Absolutely loved this tour into the mine. We were a group of six with four children and the guide was excellent at sharing information in a way that covered adults and children. He also gave a chance for the children to ask all their questions and the whole experience is a real memory-maker.

Great tour down the mine to learn about the coal industry. Lots of history and information along with a cool guide. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone in the area. Wear good shoes as the walk down and up are steep!

Nice cafe, lovely breakfast. Also brilliant underground experience. A good place to stay for a few hours. Even just for a cup of tea or coffee, and if you're lucky enough to chat with the free miner's.
Informative visit which was booked on line. Cafe serves excellent home made produce.
Very friendly service
Proper meat and veg portions.

No complaints whatsoever.
Very interesting place with a great guide. Wear good shoes and you need a jumper/top.

Cafe has a great atmosphere and supplies great food and drinks.
I will definitely visit again and recommend to everyone highly.
Good food and service. Caramel Apple pie, fab! Large portions, One indoor table for dog owners too. Plenty of outdoor seating too. Good coffee!
Great little tour, very informative. I took my three grandchildren they really enjoyed it and asked questions. Rich who took us down there made it very interesting and chatted to the children.
Café was a little old fashioned, but quaint.
