The staff are friendly and accommodating. My daughter & arrived when there was a very large party happening with music playing till midnight. We were offered a bungalow instead of a room in the main building. This was very much appreciated as the music was loud. The room was clean and spacious, there was plenty of free parking and a great breakfast.

Went for the Christmas Day Dinner and it was great. Very friendly greeting and shown to our table straight away. Food was delicious and well presented. All staff were smart and courteous.

We booked this hotel as we were visiting a few local places and it seemed like a good location which it is. When we first checked in we were given a room for 2 adults when there were 3 of us so we were frantically looking around this small room for another bed. We went back to reception and got another room straight away with 2 single beds and a sofa bed, all had a comfortable night sleep, bathroom was wet room style which is handy, and breakfast was ok-good, maybe because we were slightly later for breakfast it had dried out the bacon and scrambled egg which made the meat hard. Great options for breakfast you won’t go hungry. Friendly staff, great steak night menu made much more pleasant but the man who served us (who has family in the south) Nice high views of surrounding town from our room. Domestic staff were great, keeping the room stocked up with tea bags and doing a great job keeping the place clean and tidy throughout our stay. Thank you for a great stay!

We went for the bottomless brunch yesterday and it was lovely. The food was brought out at regular intervals and orders for cocktails a plenty. Atmosphere was fantastic. Staff could not have been more helpful and and hard working to ensure we had a fantastic afternoon and that we did! Looking forward to doing it again.

Lovely place, staff is lovely, lots of food options, beautiful decor everywhere, so many options in cafe too, ice cream is gorgeous too! There's always bits and bobs on, too, which is always great. Animals are so cute. however it's very expensive, so be prepared for that but at least you know you're getting good quality! I will definitely be back for a hot chocolate!

Farmer Copleys are Halloween ready and impressive as ever. Decorations are fantastic and staff get into the spirit of things by dressing up and greeting customers with a friendly smile and great service! Food is lovely, we just had sausage sandwiches to start the day but there is an extensive menu to choose from. A bit pricey but good value for the exceptional quality and generous portions. We have visited many times and it never disappoints. As well as the main restaurant, there is a new dessert cafe that we have yet to try and a fantastic shop to browse around. Their famous pumpkin festival is now on (tickets from £6) so a great time to visit.

Came on Saturday for the pumpkin festival. It was our first time and we had a lovely afternoon! My daughter enjoyed the rides, especially the Ferris wheel which gave us a beautiful view of the whole area. Lovely stalls and shows too.

Visited the Halloween Festival today. The weather wasn't on our side. However, it was still a good event x I love all things Halloween 🎃 There was plenty of stalls, childrens rides, entertainment with sheep racing, so many photo opportunities and lots and lots of pumpkins to pick 🎃 We also ate in the cafe, prices reasonable and the food was nice. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit, but hopefully, you get a good day with the weather 😊

I visit pumpkin festival today and it was amazing! The festival was worth to be visit, had many activities and decorative photo stops. With 8£ ticket is reasonable because we also spend some money for food and drink, pumpkin and activities. The farm is huge. I have known they having sunflower and fruit picking as well. The cafe, restaurant and shop is the best place for me, cause they have been decored amazing every corner. Staffs were friendly and good service. I impressed with their ice cream... look mouth-watering 😝 Shop is pricey but still makes pp want to buy items. That is their success. Highly recommend.

Very chill and clean atmosphere 😎 £14.49 for two main meals (hunters chicken and pulled mushroom chilli) and £15.49 for the large mixed grill - very hearty, delicious and filling. Will definitely be visiting again to taste the rest of the menu! *UPDATE* - Have visited on a monthly basis and can definitely say the Mac and cheese is my go-to meal! 👌🏻

Last minute booking as we were visiting the area and choosing a green king is a safe bet for dinner.When we arrived we sat down early and bought a refreshing drink, looking around we noticed they host alot of activities for the locals such as dog walking, dog parties, dog treats, children’s games and probably a lot more. I was taken aback by the community spirit of the place and wish you all the best in the future as no doubt your helping a lot of local people and pets. Glad we stopped by and carry on being amazing 🤩 thank you

Popped in to get lunch before getting on the M1. I had carrot soup and a tuna jacket potato. Both were amazing! My partner had the pulled pork sandwich and said it was very good. The actual shop is huge, and lots of good produce. There's the Barn Kitchen which was very busy so I suggest booking a table. We picked up food from the hot counter and there is a nice covered area where you can sit outside to eat.

I booked afternoon tea for two for my friends birthday and it did not disappoint. We had four little sandwiches each with various fillings. Four sweet treats and a scone with jam and cream plus unlimited tea and coffee. Lovely food and friendly hard working staff. We had a wander around the farm shop and the animals. For a small fee you can feed the animals. It’s changed a lot since my last visit and definitely worth a visit with children.

This was a fun place to visit. Seeing the animals and getting to pet them was great. The animals especially the goats were very friendly and kept coming up to us. The staff were lovely and welcoming. The farm shop was nice and I recommend the milkshake machine. There is free parking on site, It can get quite busy at times, but there is lots of space to park.

A great find . Delicious sunday lunch . Very generous portion. Liked the family style sharing vegetables . Great service. Extremely well stocked farm shop with a beautiful array of produce . Loved the fresh orange juice self service machine where you can bottle your own takeaway juice and also different flavoured takeaway milk machine too. Perfect place for all ages. The outdoor area serving pizza and takeaway foods has a great atmosphere. There is a children's farm for " Little Farmers " Only thing I would say as a downside , no vegan ice-cream and the portion served in the ice-cream hut was very a small scoop and she didn't wear gloves.

We met up with family members for a get together. The food was beautiful and the staff were lovely. We will definitely be back. The only thing I would coment on is there needs to be curtains or blinds, as the sun was out today and we were getting blinded while we were trying to eat. But everything else was lovely. We did book as there was 13 if us and they put tables together, so it was nice. Lovely staff.

Absolutely brilliant. Wasn’t sure what to expect when we walked in. Received a warm welcome and then nice drinks, followed by amazing food. The highlight of my night was the perfect portion of ketchup I received (see picture). Will definitely be visiting again soon. Great experience. P.S. I did actually use all the ketchup too.

It’s the perfect spot to hang out with family and friends. Conveniently located just off the M62 Junction, it’s easy to get to and offers a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by!.

Absolutely fantastic experience at The Prince William Pub in Castleford! The food was delicious – perfectly cooked, flavorful, and served promptly. The highlight of our visit, though, was the exceptional service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Prince William Pub was a top choice. Highly recommended!

Cheryl help me out with a last minute carvery 1 min before closing After 10 hours on the road today it was the perfect remedy along with a very well poured point of Guinness. I’ve never been to this part of the world before it’s true what they say about the hospitality and great service from the folks in the area.10/10

We came out for tea with the kids and was served at the bar by Ian. Lovely friendly bloke. The food was great. We ordered cake away for afters and wow the portion sizes were more than generous. Ian told us to sit back at our table and he would bring the cake out to us which he did along with bags to take it away. Can't fault the service it was amazing from start to finish.

Jenny and Ian created a very welcoming atmosphere and served us very large portions of both the carvery and the cakeaway! Jenny was very upbeat and polite. She brought me directly some more vegetables to my table as I was waiting for some more from the kitchen, she didn’t have to and I really appreciated it. Ian was very friendly and set aside our cakes until we finished our mains. Great service from them both! Thank you!

We went after 2 on Saturday when the mad rush of lunch time had ended. As we had my grandson, we had to sit in the children's area. There were a lot of tables which needed cleaning and had food all over the floor from previous visiting children. We had to ask for a table to be wiped over, the bar assistant did this for us as the servers appeared a bit overwhelmed (and grumpy, one older lady said its not her area to the guy behind the bar) The food was nice as it usually is, just a little dry on some of the carvery options as it had been under the heat lamps for a little while. I chatted to the lovely lady who carved the meat. She had only been there a few weeks. She was very friendly and lotto talk to which was OK as it was quiet and no one waiting behind me. My grandson loves the play area, which entertains him whilst we wait for food to arrive. We used the app to place the order, and the carvery tickets arrived with the drinks. The guy behind the bar is always really lovely and helpful every time we visit. He can't do enough for you and always has a smile. (He has a large red beard, nice chap) There are plenty of parking spaces in the free car park. I had the small carvery, which is very filling, especially if you're like me and can make shutters on the edge of the plate and pile it well 😉. There are two gravy options, I like the plain meat gravy, which is lovely and thick. My grandson also had a carvery, and my daughter had hunters chicken. She's quite a fussy eater but this is one of her go to meals when we visit.

Went here for an impromptu lunch and was pleasantly surprised. I don't mean that in an awful way but I've eaten at harvesters before and it was kind of just a means to an end, but the food at this one was really good! The staff were so friendly too! Cannot go wrong for the price. There were 3 of us eating and none of us had anything to say other than praise. We will be back!

5 STARS!! We came for food today, Was told there was an hour wait which we were okay with as the children were happy playing in the park. Food came in just over half an hour and was beautiful. The chicken for the kids weren’t the standard nuggets, so well worth the money. The adults meals were all freshly cooked and no processed rubbish. Would recommend to anyone!!

Me and my partner like to come for Sunday dinner most weekends but after falling pregnant we’ve recently struggled to find the time to travel up as it a 45 minute drive from where we live. However we really fancied a carvery and have been up the last two weekends and also made the journey in the week for our tea and dessert. Never had a bad meal and the staff are all so lovely and accommodating the food is worth the travel!

Gem of a place situated off the beaten track. Friendly staff, lovely well presented pub/restaurant with lots of seating to cater for all group sizes. The food was delicious and is quite reasonable in price considering the quality and portion sizes. The Rustic Arms also has a great outdoor area with a wooden playground for kids. Would definitely recommend but hope it doesnt get too busy😁😉
