We visited with high expectations but unfortunately left feeling disappointed. In my opinion, it simply wasn't worth the admission price, especially as adults pay almost the same as children. The toilet facilities are located outside and were very dirty during our visit, which wasn't pleasant. If you're visiting on a wet day, this makes the experience even less enjoyable. The play area is quite limited, consisting mainly of a few climbing platforms across three sections. While there is a large open field, there isn't much else to keep children entertained for very long. The biggest disappointment was the animal welfare. The pigs appeared to be in very poor condition compared to those I've seen at other farm attractions, which was upsetting to see. There are only a small number of chickens and goats, so the overall animal offering is quite limited. Having visited many similar attractions, I was genuinely surprised by how poor the overall experience was. There are far better family venues available that offer much better value for money.

Lovely little farm with a range of animals including cows, pigs, donkeys, alpacas, goats and sheep. Farm has a cafe on site and also a burger van so plenty of food options available. The farm shop is particularly good, with a range of fresh fruit and vegetables, a good sized frozen section including plastic free pastries, and even a traditional butchers counter with very knowledgeable butchers. The local honey they have on sale, produced in Hertfordshire, was particularly delicious.

My kids really enjoyed the play area here and feeding the goats. It was very clean as its new and you get to walk around and see the animals i deffinatly will be returning. The inside play area is a little tricky for kids in between ages as my 4 year old was abit big for the smaller childrens play section but then to small to climb up on the older kids climbing frame 🙈 but we still enjoyed it and it does depend on the childs climbing abilities 🙏

We came here during lambing season and had a great time. We held a chick, stroked a lamb, fed goats, and saw a lamb being born. It’s a small farm which was great for us with a baby, but I would say don’t expect to see lots of animals. There’s a nice open space with some lovely play areas, and overall the farm wasn’t busy, so it was a calm and relaxed atmosphere. The staff were all really friendly too.

A fabulous and idylic setting. The glamping pod (chicken coop) was pristene, they provide a lovely little welcome pack of bread, scones, milk, clotted cream and strawberries, which was a nice touch. The farm is walking distance from the cabin. We held baby chicks and witnessed the birth of baby sheep. They have an amazing farm shop that shops lots of wonderful farm grown product. The hot tub was great for chilling. A fabulous time was had by the family.
