Best Butterfly Farm in UK?

Hi everyone I'm thinking of arranging a visit to a butterfly farm for myself and a couple of friends and kids, where is the best one in the country? I've heard Berkeley Castle as a suggestion.

    I didn't think the one in Stratford was that good for butterflies. It's suppose to be the biggest in Europe. I was lucky to have seen a temporary farm outside the London Museum a couple of years ago, which was great.

    This one in Hertfordshire opened fairly recently and is meant to be the biggest in the world!

    But biggest isn't always best ;)
