My partner bought me the highland cows experience for my birthday and I have to say it was one of the best things we’ve ever done. Sarah and her husband were so welcoming and lovely and you could really tell that they cared about the ranch and made everyone feel so welcome. Lovely place and lovely, well cared for animals. We will defiantly be back for more highland cow cuddles alongside seeing the other animals.

We've been searching for a fox experience for our daughter for a long time. She's autistic and absolutely obsessed with foxes, so this meant the world to her. From the moment we arrived at Somerset Reindeer Ranch, we were made to feel so welcome. David greeted us at the gate, and Sarah was absolutely lovely. She made us delicious iced chocolate drinks, chatted to us about the ranch, explained a little about the animals and went through the health and safety information before it was time for the main event. The fox experience itself was incredible. It was calm, relaxed, and so well organised. Meeting the beautiful foxes was a dream come true, and seeing the smile on our daughter's face made every mile of the journey worthwhile. It was a memory we'll all treasure forever. We can't thank David and Sarah enough for fitting us in at such short notice and for making the experience so special. We would highly recommend Somerset Reindeer Ranch's fox experience to anyone looking for something truly unique. Thank you for giving one very happy little girl a day she'll never forget!

Visited today as my partner had a virgin experience day gift, what an amazing experience. We were greeted by Sarah who took was friendly and welcoming, we then had a lush hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows in the barn. Then we went and spent time seeing and feeding the highland cows, and the baby cows were so cute. We loved every minute of it, and its clear that Sarah is passionate about her buisness and has great ideas we look forward to seeing in the near future. We ended the experience in the gift shop, were we just had to buy our own cuddly version of Merida. Keep up the amazing work and thank you again!

We had the most amazing experience at Somerset Reindeer Ranch and would highly recommend it! We were greeted at the gate by Dave and his adorable sidekick, Bandit the cat, who absolutely loves a fuss and instantly made us smile. Dave welcomed us into a cosy barn seating area where we got to toast marshmallows while he made us a delicious hot chocolate topped with cream, marshmallows, and caramel sauce 😋 Sarah then came to take us to meet the foxes, who were absolutely adorable — and we even got cuddles with the fox cubs, which was such a special experience! She also took us around the yard to meet more of the lovely animals, including horses, alpacas, calves, and beautiful Highland cows. The whole experience was unforgettable. Dave and Sarah were so welcoming and really made sure we had the best time possible. Such a special memory that will stay with me forever ❤️

We visited Somerset Reindeer Ranch as a birthday gift for our daughters, who are big fox admirers, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. We had such a lovely experience at the ranch. The site is beautifully maintained and feels very welcoming from the moment you arrive. The foxes were incredibly friendly, and being able to pet and feed them was something really special for all of us. The owner is a wonderful lady who creates such a warm and personal atmosphere for every visitor. You can really feel how much care and passion goes into everything there. We especially loved the hot chocolate with marshmallows, such a thoughtful touch, and we couldn’t resist buying some of her homemade soap and a soft toy fox to take a little piece of the experience home with us. Overall, it was a memorable and heartwarming experience, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone, especially fellow fox lovers.
