Reviews
"Definitely a highly recommended from us. Great family trip out. Play area is great. Animals are friendly and well looked after. Great ice cream. Definitely recommend"
"Great place to visit with the kids, such a heart warming place to go. All volunteers who work hard to make sure the animals are looked after and plenty for visitors to see/do. Definitely go again"
"The farm is nice for kids to visit and see the various animals but there is also a fabulous place to walk along the river which is really peaceful and calming, snuggled under loads of trees. There is also a little spot at the farm where you can get close to the water and dip your feet in when it gets hotter. Will definitely be going there again!"
"A cute little community farm, perfect for a lovely afternoon out. Free but a donation is grateful so we paid the suggested £3 each which was worth it. My daughter loved it. Although you can’t actually feed the animals anymore, we were lucky enough to be around when the staff were so they let my daughter join in. The lovely lady volunteer answered lots of her questions & was happy to teach her a few things about the animals and you could tell she enjoyed working there and passing on her knowledge. There are a few free roaming animals and animals behind the wired fence, but you still get a good interaction with them. Cute little cafe under a shelter, that sold lovely chocolate cake at a fair price. The river side walk is lovely and peaceful, especially on a sunny day. With different birds to spot in the trees. There is a little play area and wishing well & great hand washing facilities. If your looking for a pleasant morning or afternoon out then here is perfect. Not sure you could do a full day there as it is just a small place. However perfect way to support local farm/community & entertainment the kids without the massive expense!"
