What visitors say
🫏What an amazing place. Everyone who works and volunteers here are so caring and willing to talk. They have well over 100 Donkeys from all corners of UK and even abroad. So many different characters and didn't know how many breeds there are. The donkeys showed some hilarious behaviour when let free in the field. So well looked after and rehabilitated. I got the impression that they do more than the RSPCA would. Great setting and free entry...but please donate or buy their reasonably priced drinks. £2.50 for a bit chocolate ☕

Plenty of parking and entry by voluntary (and unmonitored) donation, so why not stop by and meet some of the hundred-plus donkeys? You can't feed them but you can pat them, if you - and the recipient donkey - dare to get close to the electric fence. Some show signs of their hard lives before getting to the sanctuary, so full credit to the folks running the place for giving the donkeys a happy home. The jumble sale in the big shed was an unexpected treat, if you are looking to buy other people's stuff that would otherwise be binned, for the most part.

Nice little donkey sanctuary, nice to visit whenever throughout the year, can tell they look after the animals here. Left a nice donation and bought a couple of bits from the shop to help support a place that you can see really do care and look after these donkeys. Keep up the great work and I’m sure we will visit again

I adopted a donkey here as a gift for my husband, I'd only read their work on the Internet. We managed to visit today, I was amazed by the amount of donkeys they have, and its all done on the extremely hard working volunteers and small donations. Walk around the donkeys, a coffee and ice cream and an adhoc talk from a friendly volunteer meant we spent a pleasant hours or two with a gentle walk amongst these gentle animals.
