"The immersive Victorian-style streets create an atmosphere that transports you back in time. It's truly remarkable how you can suspend your disbelief and feel like you're stepping into Hampshire's past. The experience is worth every penny and moment spent, and the café offers a perfectly adequate dining option as well."
