Stopped in to middle farm on our way to the seven sisters. Had a great lunch and cider while taking in the wide selection of farm favorites. Would highly recommend stopping in for some local farm goods, flowers, and especially the cider tasting room. A great gem to experience.

We had a lot of fun here today with the little ones. We loved seeing the animals and feeding the rabbits and guinea pigs. A wonderful farm shop too.

We visited without kids and enjoyed some decent coffee with cake. The gluten-free cake we didn’t like at all, but the coffee cake was delicious. We also visited the plants area and the farm shop. As a Dutchman I was particularly impressed with the beautiful selection of sausages. I also tasted and purchased my fist ever Sloe Gin. Will be back!

A lovely place to visit in the spring with the children. The play hay barn has been a firm favourite with all my children over the last 16 years. They were disappointed to discover that its not as grand as it once used to be. It no longer has the double height hay bales with the crawl tunnels underneath which my older boys have fond memories of. It was a shame they weren't able to show their youngest siblings how they made their memories. I hope that it is built up again to its former glory, it was our favourite part of the farm.

We have visited a few times over the past 20 years and it's nice to see the farm has expanded and has become a popular attraction, the farm shop is out of this world! I wish I could afford to shop here all the time, the cider shop is equally impressive if you are partial to a tipple of course. The actual animal farm/kids area is perfect for young children, although dare I say a little expensive. However I am always happy to support farmers and as a one off was happy to pay £40 for a family of 4 we were there for around 90 minutes Inc the shops x
