Brilliant little farm. Big barn with toys to play this seems to be the highlight more than the farm for the children lol! Small farm with some lovely animals. Disabled parking onsite or park on surrounding streets for free and walk in (1-2 min walk). Lovely coffe served Fri sat sun. But farm open all week. I find it friendly relaxing and fun.

Well worth a visit. Animals are well happy and friendly. You can buy feed to hand feed them. Bigger than expected. Awesome for kids there's a sand pit and diggers. Cute little covered play/ eating area.
