I had an experience day at Cotebrook and it was fabulous! Justin was so friendly and knowledgeable. I helped make the feeds, turn the horses out, muck out and met all the horses individually in their fields. The foals were adorable. It’s a really lovely place to visit and the horses are really well cared for and are clearly loved and very happy. I got a few gifts (including a massive horseshoe). Thank you for being so welcoming 😍

A lovely place to visit. We went before Christmas. They had a lovely Christmas grotto there. We petted all the beautiful shire horses. We watched the otters and the Scottish wild cats being fed. The children got to groom a gorgeous little pony called Poppet, and learnt how she was rescued by Cotebrook. The staff and all really friendly. There's a gift shop and café. There's toilets available to use on site. It's a really lovely day with the kids, we will definitely be going back.

A nice place to visit - lovely to see the wild animals get fed and see the Shires. All the animals are healthy and happy. The talks were more chatty than informational for me. I had hoped the horse talk would be by someone involved in their breeding/care to hear more about them and efforts to conserve the breed (more like the website content), but that’s just me.
