We came here as part of a hen weekend and had an absolute blast! There was 9 of us and each of us had an alpaca, some more well behaved than others 😂 The trek lasted about an hour through beautiful woodland. We had the grazing boards afterwards which completely exceeded all expectations. We ended up taking a box home with us! The family that own the place could not have been friendlier! A wonderful place, we could not recommend enough!

My daughter and I visited Poppywood Alapacas today. Really enjoyed the experience. Lovely family. Had a safety check how to handle the Alapacas and was able to walk them for 60 min or so. Loved Pops and. Colombus (Mr C) the Alapacas. Highly recommend a visit, we booked in advance.

I booked this experience for my daughter and two Grandsons aged nearly 10 and 7. Amazing! The lovely lady who talked about the history of Alpacas was so engaging and informative. She was happy to answer any questions we had and was just lovely. The Alpacas were fabulous such gentle creatures. I would highly recommended it, you won’t be disappointed.

Pippa and her family are amazing people! This place is fantastic! Booked a family of four walk and craft session and we spent a lovely afternoon amongst the alpacas. Meet and greet, feeding and interacting with them, a gorgeous little tea room. The latte's, toasties and pizza were delicious!! We thoroughly enjoyed our walk with Colin, Haribo, Joseph and Snap. Thank you!!
