What a wonderful day out. Petting the animals, taking in the outside, having a tasty leasurely vegan lunch, checking out the second hand books , the gift shop and best of all supporting the animals. Can't wait to go again

Really great experience! The cafe food was good, signage was clear, and we had a great time seeing all the animals and reading about each of them. My 10 month old found it to be a really interesting experience. There’s a nice short loop walk to see some of the animals in pastures too.

An amazing space for animals and humans alike... The place is spotless with lots of shade for the animals and space alike... Keep doing the amazing work you doing Ohhhh and the coffee shop is reasonably priced too, you'll definitely need refreshment if you follow the cut grass path walk must stretch best part of 1.5 miles each way

After watching them on Facebook for a wee while I decided this weekend would be perfect for a little adventure with the mini-mes and they had a great time! £16 for 1adult and 2kids to get access, we mostly wondered around as wasnt sure what to visit first! My littlests favourite was the donkeys! We stopped in for lunch at the little cafe for soup and a cake, as 3fussy eaters we normally struggle to get anything that isn't just 'chips and cheese' It was well priced, the kids both enjoyed the soup available (little doesn't like soup usually but enjoyed pinching my veg soup) we'll definitely return but would try to get there earlier as when we visited the cat hotel the ones sleeping were (rightfully so) grumpy, we have a cat at home and understand their body language so we appreciated them from afar and didn't bother them from their sleep. The cats we saw while we visited the horses and donkeys were very friendly to the point one actually sat in my oldests lap and wanted cuddles 😂 spent roughly 3/4hours there and highly recommend it for a visit!
