Really lovely day out. Went on a double date as 4 people in our twenties- probably loved it more than the kids! The animals look really happy and healthy with lots of space to roam.

Nice farm to walk around in and a nice play area for children. They have hand sanitising pumps all around, however all of them are empty. 2 sinks but no soap. In the end the helpful workers showed us a sink inside the cafe and gave us some soap. Would rate this place higher if they had good hygiene facilities.

Staff are always great and are happy to give fun facts about the animals. Seeing and feeding all the animals is a great experience for all ages. Great place.

A lovely day with kids feeding the goats and sheep, and visiting all the other animals , but the food from when we previously came was horrendous , they actually said we ain’t got much tuna for your jacket and laughed how much was on it . The beef burger was pathetic and very unappetizing. Such a drop in standards to be honest . But apart from that it was lovely experience. FOOD 0/10
