Customer Reviews about The Castle Pamela:
- ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆We stumbled across Castle Pamela on our way through Tirau & popped in for a comfort stop and a coffee. My 15 year old daughter & I spent more than an hour enjoying the displays - particularly the teddy bears and the street of dolls houses, which were beautifully made with extraordinary detail. Having a coffee in the cafe, we spent another entertaining quarter hour checking out the book titles in the library. The facilities were clean and tidy, the cafe had a great range of snacks. Great place to break your journey.By willhamm, May 14, 2020
