Tips

Fab little farm and lots to keep little ones entertained

We were very happy with our visit today! Despite the cold weather we enjoyed meeting, feeding and petting animals including sheep, goats, donkeys, ponys, pigs, horses, chicken, birds and ducks a plenty, deer, lama, rabbits, guinea pigs and more!! Good value for money with regard to entry costs with what's on offer. Undoubtably a summers day would make it all the more enjoyable but 3 different play areas which cater for a wide age range, a sand play area, play houses, football and a small go karting area make it fun whatever the weather. The cafe was good value for money also and the food was delicious. The gift shop also was good value for money and we bought two little gifts to help us remember our fun family day out. Hand washing and toilet facilities clean and well maintained too. All in all 10 out of 10 for a great farm park 😃
