What visitors say
Boydells Farm is a fantastic farm experience and one that really stands out for its focus on educating visitors about the farm, the animals and where everything comes from. We've visited several times now, and every visit has been a great experience. The staff are fantastic and clearly passionate about what they do. They give really informative talks throughout the visit and are always keen to get everyone involved, particularly the children. It's not just about seeing the animals; there's a real emphasis on learning about them and understanding more about life on the farm, which makes the experience much more interesting and engaging. The staff are also very friendly and approachable, and the talks are delivered in a way that keeps the kids interested and involved rather than simply talking at them. It's a great place to spend a couple of hours, and the combination of seeing the animals, learning about the farm and getting involved in the activities makes it a really enjoyable experience for both children and adults. We've really enjoyed our visits and would definitely recommend it.

We had such a lovely time at Boydells Dairy Farm. It is very well organised. All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. You get to hand feed the animals and we also enjoyed a tractor ride. A really family friendly and reasonable day out. I would definitely recommend to others.

Great little farm. We've been going for years and we still love it. Very hands on with goats, cows, guinea pigs, rabbits, ponies, donkeys, lambs, alpacas and loads more. You can feed them all with the cups of food you can buy. Toilets on site and a little picnic area. Very popular but quietens down after the rush at 10am and 2pm.

Such a amazing place to take your kids or anyone who loves animals. Very interactive, you can hold, feed stroke the animals. You can also feed lambs milk and milk cows at certain times. Wide range of farmyard and petty zoo animals. Somewhere I will be revisiting with the kids soon.
