What visitors say
Lovely time here this morning. Such a warm and friendly welcome from the moment we arrived. It’s a small, family-run sanctuary which makes it feel really personal and relaxed, not crowded or overwhelming at all. We loved the hands-on experience, especially the cuddles with the baby rabbits, tiny chicks, and ducklings. Nothing ever felt rushed, and the staff were so patient and kind, taking the time to chat with us and make sure we were comfortable. You can really tell the animals are well cared for, they all looked happy, calm, and in great condition, which is so important. It’s clear there’s a lot of love and attention put into what they do. We’ll definitely be back

I have been coming here since I was young and now get to bring my little boy - although smaller now (animal wise) it is a very wholesome experience with friendly animals that you can feed and cuddle and a play area for children to enjoy. Always happy to support this place - please support your local animal sanctuaries. We love coming here and will continue to do so in the future.

Wonderful and amazing place. Best choice for kids spending a day at the farm. We went on Easter , was so proud of myself to find an Easter egg by the tractor, soon enough to find one more in Tomas the tank engine. PS. Donkey might bite.

Had a really nice couple of hours here. Held the rabbits, guinea pigs and chicks then had a walk around seeing the Peacocks, ducks, geese, pigs, goats, donkey etc. Friendly welcome and just a nice environment to switch off and just wander. Nice to come somewhere that’s not over commercial just more natural. We will return.
