Lovely place to visit in Chilham. with plenty of parking. We found it dog friendly, busy with lots to look at including animals, plants and pop up shops. Nice park for the children, pleasant staff and plenty of benches to sit on. We spent a good hour here and thoughrally enjoyed it. The large cafe was lovely with nice seating areas and chickens roaming about. I will definately be returning, recommending to friends and family too.

My partner and I came here for a meet and greet with the animals followed by an afternoon tea... Where to begin? The experience of petting a goose was other worldy, and the opportunity to brush the shetlands was a very nice touch. All of the animals were clearly very well looked after, and almost all were happy to get some pets (even the piggies!). The lady that took us round was so lovely, very knowledgeable about all the animals and their previous living situations and also more than happy to accommodate the allocated time slot to our favourite animals which I've never experienced elsewhere so was super grateful. The afternoon tea was delightful. What was provided was reasonably simplistic, but as someone who is quite a picky eater, this was a massive bonus as my poor boyfriend didnt get lumped with eating everything that I wouldn't. The entire tea was beyond delicious and it was clear that the faces behind the food put nothing but passion, care and attention into making everything fresh from scratch. I have had afternoon teas in 5 star hotels before that weren't comparable to the scrumptious food that Badger Hill Farm provided. The waiting staff were as a pleasant and as accommodating as our tour guide and we can't fault the service. We both had an absolute fantastic time here, and I can't recommend it highly enough to others!

The garden centre still needs a lot of work. The paths were temporary and many pot holes in the car park entrance. However there were a lot of plants and the cafe served good food, but possibly a little expensive.

Lovely place to visit for a decent cooked breakfast. The garden centre is really well stocked with Olive and other fruit trees, along with a good plant selection. The small animal section is also a nice touch which has Geese, Goats, Pigs, Donkeys & Shetland Ponies.

Lovely spot – great animals, plants, and food! I had such a great time at Badgers Hill Farm & Cidery! The animals are clearly well cared for – happy, healthy, and a joy to see. I especially loved how the ducks and chickens were free-ranging around the grounds. It adds such a charming, relaxed feel to the place. The range of plants was fantastic too – whether you're looking for garden staples or something a bit different, there's so much to choose from. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole site felt well-kept and welcoming. Topped it all off with some delicious food and drinks – everything was fresh and tasty. A perfect day out for animal lovers, garden enthusiasts, or anyone who just enjoys a peaceful countryside vibe. Highly recommend!
