What an absolutely fantastic day out at J & J Alpacas! From the moment we arrived, it was clear why this place is so highly rated. The alpacas are beautiful, friendly, and incredibly well cared for, making it a truly memorable experience for both adults and children. The staff are welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do, which makes the whole visit even more special. If you’re looking for somewhere to keep the kids entertained, this is the perfect place. The children absolutely loved meeting and feeding the alpacas, and there was plenty to see and do throughout the visit. The setting is stunning, with lovely countryside views and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. The food was another highlight of the day. Everything was fresh, delicious, and generously portioned. Whether you’re stopping for coffee and cake or enjoying a full meal, the quality is outstanding. The café is the perfect place to sit back, relax, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. J & J Alpacas is one of those rare places that genuinely exceeds expectations. It’s fun, educational, relaxing, and great value for money. We left with huge smiles and wonderful memories and will definitely be returning. The children are already asking when we can go back! I would highly recommend it to families, animal lovers, or anyone looking for a unique day out. Five stars simply aren’t enough!

Visited while on holiday in the area. The lady's running it were happy and cheerful and lovely. Food and drink were good, well priced and even better you can sit outside when weather is nice or inside if not so much and still see the alpacas.

Great place to escape to for a few hours. Really lovely country views, SO many adorable alpacas and a nice little stroll around. We grabbed a latte and slice of cake while we were there too! Definitely recommend 👍👍

What a lovely experience. Very well organised. The farm has loads of alpacas and some llamas. The trek was lovely and informative. Fabian behaved himself but was a bit greedy and kept munching away at the trees. After the trek, we had tea and cake at the excellent cafe/shop. I cannot praise this place enough. I can’t wait to come back again for some more tea, cake, and a wander around to see these wonderful animals.
