The tour was a dream come true for me. We arrived about an hour before our time and was greeted by a lovely lady who gave us a warm welcome and told us where we could go and see some beautiful calves. Getting to brush and stroke the coos was just wonderful. The staff were all welcoming and very informative. Would definitely visit again. Thank you all so much. 😁 · via Google [Doly K.](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112898220056889322634/reviews) ★★★★★ I had a wonderful experience that truly exceeded my expectations. I have a soft spot for Highland coos, and being able to learn more about them while hearing Janet's stories was both fascinating and funny. Seeing, feeding, and brushing the coos is definitely an experience I will cherish forever. Janet, Robert, Chase, and Lorraine were all incredibly welcoming and friendly, and they made the experience even more special. I also thought it was such a thoughtful touch to end the tour with afternoon tea, cookies, and cakes. It made the whole experience feel even more personal and welcoming. There was also a lovely little gift shop with some great souvenirs! I was able find some gems in there ;) Thank you again for such a memorable day. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Scotland! 😊 · via Google [Abbie Smith](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/112504201996664371771/reviews) ★★★★★ This was the most amazing, fantastic experience I’ve ever had in my life. Chase, Neal, and Janet were so kind and extremely knowledgeable. Chase was our guide and has a great personality and sense of humor, and he has a real gift for storytelling while giving facts about the coos. We got to brush the coos and feed them, we had so many photo opportunities with them. The tea along with the sweets were delicious, and they had a ton of trinkets to buy at the gift shop. We went on a 3 hour trip from Edinburgh (one way) just to see this and it was worth every single second. I recommend this as an absolute “must see” · via Google [Carol Ingram](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/104731254820897488165/reviews) ★★★★★ We visited yesterday and had the best time - this is definitely a hands on experience and would recommend to families of all ages. Lots of chances to get up close to the cattle - very friendly & knowledgable guides with us, nothing was too much bother. Lovely to get up into wild countryside - without a hike! The trailer takes you right out to where the cattle are - time for them to be groomed, have a feed and then pose for their photos. Whole trip was 1.5 hours then back to the farm for an excellent coffee and cake break - shortbread to die for! Thanks guys, you made our day. (Trailer is wheelchair accessible if that is of use to anyone planning a trip - but would advise contacting before? - we contacted beforehand as members of our group had autism, and we wanted to check what was involved - staff all very accommodating without making a fuss, which suited our group) · via Google [See all reviews on Google →](https://www.google.com/maps/place//data=!4m4!3m3!1s0x4862471cb72bcb5d:0x72b9de61ea149b50!9m1!1b1?g_mp=Cidnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLlNlYXJjaFRleHQQAhgEIAA) People say this farm offers an amazing hands-on experience with Highland coos, allowing visitors to brush, feed, and cuddle the friendly animals.
