DS(6) has his friend (same age) coming to stay next weekend and I was thinking of taking them here - anyone been? any good? Will also have 2 year old DD with us so hopefully she'll be entertained too!

(sticks in craw to be doing christmassy stuff in november but I expect they'll love it)

I love Rye and come from there originally, but it is not a very child-friendly town.
Can't think of one shop/restaurant/public toilet with baby changing facilities, and the pavements are quite narrow for pushchairs.

Sorry, just re-read OP! Nappy changing and pushchair problems probably not a deal-breaker for you!

Do not go to reindeer centre Kent TN26
Like a mud bath. Queue to park. No choice but to park in a muddy field where you are guaranteed to get your car stuck.
Poorly kept chickens and pigs. Queue for hrs to get an expensive ticket that gains you entry to a crappy old barn, a merchandise shop and a burger van.... Not a good day out. Take my advice. Didn't see one reindeer shock

Oh dear, have promised two DC, 6 & 4 that we'll go there on Xmas Eve- is it really that bad, website infers that there reindeers galore! If really is grim, need urgent ideas of where else to go - within 1 hour of SE London ideally and with a Santa Claus and animals. Help!!

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
