A lovely place for everyone, the owners made us feel very welcome and were full of very interesting facts about the alpacas. The walk is a gentle meander through fields, about a mile in total. The alpacas were so lovely, it's definitely somewhere I want to go back to

A fantastic place to visit and walk Alpacas. We had a lovely time for my daughters birthday present with her friend. They both walked Lenny and Alan, such lovely animals and perfectly suited to two 12 year olds who had lots of laughs and giggles walking these 2 brothers. The hosts were lovely and friendly and it made a great morning in the sunshine. Definitely be back again.

What a wonderful time we have had ,went with my daughter ,and 2 granddaughters stayed in the stargazer tent , for 1 night we had the total alpaca experience .when we arrived the alpacas can come and meet you outside your tent and there is alot of them you learn their names, we met the 2 week old baby alpaca skipper,we fed them apples and managed to stroke them I was even talking to them it's so surreal having them round you , and it's even better if you are quiet and calm round them very relaxing. We took a picnic tea as we didn't want to cook but facilities are there if you want to barbecue , or you can even order take away as they deliver to the gate . We went to settle down in our tent about 9-30 with still alpacas sat outside our tent ,they were peeping at us sat outside. During the night we had a storm it was lovely listening to the rain in our cosy tent . Next morning we did the alpaca walk Karen and Dean tell you everything you need to know , Karen absolutely loves the alpacas and you can tell , took them to a meadow had photos taken alpacas even posed so funny I now felt confident with them and the girls had so much fun infact I've never heard the girls laugh so much, beautiful countryside chilling out and down time for us , so much so we have booked to go again thankyou Karen and Dean xx

Brilliant day out. Booking is very easy online with friendly replies and updates. The place is easy to find, parking is next to the Alpacas field so no long walks to get there. Very knowledgeable, friendly owners who explain about the animals and chat with everyone on the walk. Got this as a birthday surprise for my wife who really enjoyed it. Would definitely go again. We walked Alan & Lenny. Such calm and inquisitive animal. 5 star, fabulous 👌

Absolutely amazing experience! We stayed in the starlight tent and it was beautiful and very spacious, everything was clean and had everything you needed, pans, plates, washing up bowl etc, you had your own private porta potty which was lovely, we had a fire pit outside and that was perfect for when the evening was drawing in, the little park also there was very good my little girl loved burning some energy off, Dean was amazing and nothing was never any trouble for him and he was happy to help way he could, with a few extra apples for out little girl to feed to the Alpacas, she was obsessed 😍 and especially when we ran out of wood we bought ourselves for the fire, he was happy to help and we had more wood within 5 minutes of asking! The Alpacas were super friendly and very very cute, we had the best family night away as a little treat and we will definetly be booking again next year! Thank you to Dean and the team 🫶🏼
