Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

We've been going on the Santa train or Mince Pie Special for twenty something years since my children were little and we're now taking grandchildren! The whole experience never disappoints. The staff are so lovely and obviously love what they do. And still good value for money.

Similar to other reviews, paid a high amount for an apparent 50 min train ride Santa experience. Was more like 10 minutes and the rest sat stationary. Very disappointing and very boring. Would not return.

We payed a ridiculous amount of money to go on what was supposed to be a 50 minute train ride. Well this was not the case. The train goes two minutes up the track and then is stationery for twenty minutes and the exact same in the opposite direction. Boring is the only word to describe it. The train ride is then followed by a half an hour wait which can only be described as herding cattle to have a two second interaction with Santa. The ONLY positive was that Santa was amazing and lovely with the kids. But certainly won’t be bothering next year that’s for sure. Save your money.

An amazing experience, I would definitely recommend!
Santa was brilliant, there was also fake show and donkey reindeer which were adorable. You queue at the end for photos with santa, but it’s totally worth the wait. You aren’t rushed through at all.
The only things that could enhance the experience further would be to play Christmas music on the train whilst Santa is seeing all the families, this would make it more magical.
I would also have loved to have a lovely ticket for the train to keep as a memory instead of a hand written one (even if I had to print this myself).
The gift from Santa also says suitable from 0 + months but it does sadly have glass eyes, which means it unfortunately isn’t suitable.
The parking was also quite tricky and we were lucky to get a space. Also the postcode listed on the website takes you to the middle of nowhere, so we almost missed our time!
This isn’t a moan as we genuinely had a great day, these suggestions would just make it more magical in future.
Brilliant day out and would definitely do this again next year. Our little boy loved it!

Came for a Santa experience which cost nearly £30.
Honestly was terrible, we got plonked on a dirty train which was decribed as a 50 minute ride.
We went 2 mins up the road in one direction, stopped then went 2 mins up the other direction..
Train then stopped Santa was meant to come through and interact, he literally stopped for less than a minute.
We got given a mince pie and biscuit.
But literally just sat on a train still doing nothing, no Xmas music, no atmosphere - it was boring for us adults let alone the kids.
Then as we came off the train we had to queue on the rain for about 1/2 hour to see Santa for again approx 1 minute and given a fur donkey.
Not worth £10 let alone £30.
Save your money!
The Santa himself was very nice when we did manage to see him so 1 star for that.

We visited today with our 2 toddlers, we had tickets booked for the Frys chocolate Sundays train. Make sure you leave much earlier than you need to, as the local traffic isn't great in and around Bitton/Siston, and it was also a total nightmare getting into the car park. There was someone parked in the middle of the entrance of the car park getting their kids out instead of actually parking, delaying us and resulting in us missing our train (trains leave at the exact booking time). We had to wait for the train to come back to Bitton to then get on it for the second part of the journey, there was a cafe and plenty of seating areas so we didn't mind waiting. The actual train journey was great, our toddlers absolutely loved it and were so excited. All of the staff/volunteers we came across were so friendly and helpful. Overall a lovely affordable day out especially with kids, but the car park definitely needs some organisation/stricter rules to avoid people missing out due to other selfish visitors.

We set out for my husbands 80th birthday treat, a train ride with a meal super! The food was very good and no problem with the service or quality very good all round thankfully, however the actual train ride extremely disappointing and mis leading with the advertising of the journey. We spent more time changing over the engine from front of train to the back several times on the short trip, which run back & forth from the Bitton station one & half miles approx either side of it, only sight seeing mostly bushes & trees & at a stand still for ages whilst the change over of the engine. Actually we did laugh & laugh at the ridiculously funny occasion & a 80th to remember! full praise though for the staff & lunch.

I treated my Dad to Breakfast on the train for his 80th Birthday. Dad would prefer to be out walking rather than stuck in one place for a while! We both absolutely loved it. Amazing food, lovely staff, extremely well organised and would definitely recommend to anyone! Thank you AVR for helping us create a wonderful memory!

Thinking of booking the Saturday fish and chips experience just wanted to know how the steam train is set in the dining area for the fish and chips lunch. Some of the pictures the dining area looks all dressed up and waiters and then there is a picture with it not dressed or no waiter service. If anyone has any pictures of the Saturday fish and chips lunch I would be very grateful.

I want to bring a train enthusiast but do not want to be surrounded by loads of children. How would it be best to achieve this?
Skrevet 21. juni 2016
Hello Pamela
Firstly apologies for not having responded sooner, so I hope your question is still valid!
This particular railway is well suited to anytime visits by enthusiasts as I've never seen huge swarms of children like you can get at some steam train railways. That said, it would be obvious to avoid any special steam events like teddy bears picnic etc as it will no doubt be full.
I always think first thing in the morning or late afternoon is a good time for visiting railways (without children) as you may be able to see the trains get themselves in position and the latter at the end of the day when most decent parents will have their children at home having tea or getting ready for bed. I suppose those are generic rather than specific to this railways.
The beauty of this place is that because you can get off and walk the line you can get some great pictures without being hurried and an enthusiast would relish the beauty of the engine by watching it come down the line.
I'm sure if you ring them direct they would be helpful with times to visit too.
Hope you enjoy.

How do we book tickets to the steam engine ride?
On your website, it asks for the login however there is no option to register (or perhaps am missing something)
Can we get the tickets on the spot?
Skrevet 18. april 2015
Sachin_Keyyoor thanks for your questions. Tickets for our steam train rides can be purchased on the day of travel from our booking office - you'll get old-fashioned card tickets for your journey.
You can book for many of our special events online from our website (click the link at the top of each page). You will need to register once you've finished buying tickets - there's no need to log-in or register beforehand selecting tickets.
