Lovely place to visit with children! You can cuddle guinea pigs, brush the goats and more in the barn, can see more animals like sheep, pigs, chickens etc on a lovely little walk around the grounds. There’s a great indoor play area which is done beautifully, including a small room with some soft play items for younger ones. The outside play space is also charming with a sand pit, ride along mini tractors and hay bail play bits too. There is a cafe next to the indoor play area which is great for catching up. Several toilets and baby change facilities. There is also a nature trail you can walk, and the main cafe / restaurant upstairs, and the farm shop stocked with great locally sourced bits. It is a great day / afternoon out for the family! It might seem expensive for one day entry as it’s not very big, however you only have to go 3 times a year for the annual pass to be worth it (and it also gets you discount in the cafe and farm shop too so quickly makes your money back!). Plus remember the proceeds go to Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust so a cause which helps protest and preserve what’s great about the bay. The farm shop is lovely with locally sourced items such as yummy jams, chutneys, dressings, chocolates, wines, eggs, fresh veg and flowers etc. A deli counter with the option to make takeout lunch boxes (there’s usually some sort of deal on). There are children’s toys and books etc, gifts and homewares too.

Lovely day out, although most time was spent in the bale maze playing tag with other children. Easy to find and plenty if parking. Toilets and handwashing throughout the area. Staff are friendly and helpful. There is some food in the play area, but would recommend a packed lunch as sausage roll £3+ and Decaf oat latte £3+ go prepared. Decided to go for the annual pass to make it better value for money in the future.

It has a great car park including Disabled parking. It has a toilet, a cafe which is dog friendly. The farm shop downstairs has a lot on offer, from gifts, food, beverage etc. A good indoor play area for the kids, and a good nature trail to walk around. It's also on a bus route. And the woodlands close by which leads down into Cockington.
