"Wonderful time meeting the donkeys and mules. Free entry. Donations accepted. Worth visiting. Look for Bella."
"Lovely place really well setup. Donkeys appear super well cared for and are friendly as can be. Lovely animals. Glad they have someone to look after them."
"Really cute donkeys. Friendly and funny to watch. Free entry just has donating boxes around the place and a nice gift shop with friendly shop assistants."
"Such a lovely place with such a beautiful cause. Can't fault the adonkey sanctuary. People there are so nice nice friendly. Lovely atmosphere. Plenty parking. Grounds are kept immaculate. You can tell by the donkeys that they are well looked after. Went today for a little Easter hunt. Very well layed out and organised. Very very reasonable. Making a donation. I think if anything to try maybe get a little funding that a minimum 5 euro price for even parking your car there wouldn't go astray. I know it is completely based off donations but if everyone paid even a fiver it would all add up. I think even a fiver per car and 5 euro admission most definitely should be charged. Because it deserves it."
