This place is fantastic. I went with just my sister and no kids as ours are all grown up, and we enjoyed it as much as the families there. Everything is so well organised and surprisingly clean. The food and drinks were nice and you could tell all the animals were well looked after and had everything tailored to their need's.The staff there were happy and truly cared for all the animals. As a day out, I would definitely recommend it, with or without kids. And although I haven't uploaded the piglet snuggling photos yet believe me that that is the icing on the cake. I will certainly be returning.

Lovely day out. Great way for children and adults to meet farm animals and small animals/pets like rats, chickens and guinea pigs. The alpacas were so funny and gentle to feed. They are not an animal I have experience of so I'm glad I got to meet them upclose.

This is my favourite farm!! Have been twice now and really enjoyed each visit!! Staff are friendly, the animals are friendly. We’ve done lamb bottling feeding, meet the chicks, meet the guinea pigs and most recently piglet cuddling! It’s a really lovely walk around and see and feed all the animals too. Well worth a visit!

A fabulous fun family day out. I hadn’t visited here for a couple of years, no idea why I left it so long but I won’t be leaving it so long this time and will be back in the summer. My daughter, niece and nephew absolutely loved the new play barn, they spent hours in there, which was handy when it rained slightly. The fact there is stuff to do indoors is great. It wasn’t over crowded. I loved how spacious yet close by everything was. The barrel ride was a massive hit, yes it’s an extra cost but absolutely worth it as they don’t just go round in a circle like in some farms. We had the best time, everyone was so friendly and the pizza and ice creams were the cherry on top!! Would highly recommend.

Every member of staff was fantastic—welcoming, friendly, and genuinely helpful throughout. The venue itself is impressively spacious, with plenty of outdoor areas, so even when it’s busy, it never feels crowded or overwhelming. The animals are clearly very well cared for, which really shows. And Flora the Highland cow completely stole the show—an absolute highlight! All in all, an amazing day out.
