Spent fathers day with my son here and we had a wonderful time. A fantastic place to spend some time. Staff are super friendly and chill, the animals are great plus they have a lovely cafe. Even the walk from the nearest carpark is beautiful. Great for kids but also for spending time with your partner or dare I say when a date. Highly recommend.

Went for the second time and it’s absolutely great there. The cafe is really sweet and the walk there is lovely. The directions are very easy to follow if you walk from the train station car park and follow the local signs as they tell you to on the website. It’s small, but you could easily kill two hours and for the price it’s really good value. Maria, who did our animal experience was lovely :•)

My toddler is obsessed with owls and so seeing such beautiful owls today was quite an emotional experience! The bond they have with their keeper is so beautiful and we learnt a lot about owls. The whole experience is perfect for young children, we got to see so many different animals and could even feed a few very happy goats and sheep. A lovely day!

This farm felt like a lovely run family affair. A good variety of animals that you can get up close to and feed. I would recommend the £15 up close experience. Our children loved it. Especially the guinea pigs. Beware of sat nat, ours sent us to a lane the other side of the farm that is inaccessible. You want to head to Totnes train station but preferable not park there as it is £7.50 in their car park. There is plenty of space on the industrial estate.
