We had a brilliant time here with all the Alpacas. Caroline and Dave are wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable. Merlin, the alpaca I walked, was an absolute gem. We were even lucky enough to visit on a day where a baby alpaca was born! Highly recommend this experience

Wow! Disabled or not do go you will love it. Caroline and Dave are so knowledgeable about the very individual personalities for their extended family (animal welfare exemplary).And they match up what they know of the Walker with the Alpaca. My son had Derwent who was perfect with my son who is high functioning autistic. He was so relaxed after the experience… all thanks to Caroline and Dave. Plus my mother-in-law has dementia and she has an amazing experience too with Maverick (the kindest hearted of the alpacas - well I think they all are !). Huge thank you we will be back! Cheryl
