Here’s a polished review you can use: We had an absolutely amazing time at the Highland Cow Experience! We booked the VIP Deluxe Tour and it was worth every penny. Our guide, Ash, was incredibly passionate, friendly, and so knowledgeable — you could really tell how much they care about the cows and making the experience special for everyone. Getting hands-on with the cows was such a memorable experience, and of course little Babybel completely stole our hearts! The whole tour was relaxed, and full of fluffy cuteness from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for something unique and unforgettable. We’ll definitely be back in the future for another fix of adorable Highland cows!

We did the Ultimate Experience on 20th July as a group of four to celebrate my graduation, and it was such a wonderful experience! Richard was an amazing guide, super knowledgeable about the Highland cows and full of interesting facts about the animals, the farm, how it operates, and how he got into farming. It made the whole experience feel really personal and engaging. We loved meeting all the different Highland cows, each with their own personalities and ages. As a lovely bonus, we also got to see the Dexter cows and even pet a baby lamb! A huge thank you to Richard and the team for such a memorable day. We’d definitely come back if we’re in the Peak District again & would recommend to anyone who is in the area!

One of the most incredible experiences we have had! We booked the Deluxe VIP tour and had the best 90mins with the most adorable highland cows. Our guide, Helen was very friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. We met a so many beautiful coos and their babies... had cuddles with them, and combed their coats. Highly recommend this experience!

Absolutely brilliant! We did the VIP experience so had the trailer to ourselves (me, wife and daughter) and Ash was our personal tour guide. He was funny, engaging and thoroughly knowledgeable. Part of the VIP tour is getting to brush and feed the calves. This is totally at the whim of the cows, and if they come up to you - which makes it all the more rewarding when they do. After the tour, you get 10% off in the cafe and farm shop. And they’re fab too. We all had the breakfast bagel, and they were delicious. I bought some farm made wine and honey in the shop - and to my daughter’s horror - some Aberdeen Angus burgers. I’ll report back later when I’ve sampled them.
