   For the money it’s great . When you go wildlife park you can’t feed the animals and here you can . I think the young kids enjoyed it here more . Everyone was friendly. Only downside is I got a cupcake which looked really nice but it was dry . Coffee was ok I’ve had better at Greggs . But I got to feed a lamb. So win win . Or and be careful of the highland cow it spiked my 5 year old niece in the neck .

   We came to visit the farm for the first time yesterday, I’m always sceptic visiting farms for the first time as previously we have paid money to contribute to some horrible animal welfare places, I was pleasantly surprised here, I really like that it was a smaller farm and the up keep of the animals was very on point with staff always around them, they all looked happy and well kept which is refreshing to see, I just wanted to comment on one little issue, the rabbits, I’ve never been to a single farm yet where the rabbit welfare standards meet with rwaf guidelines, they all live alone quite sad and lonely, it would be amazing for a farm as lovely as yourselves to have them all neutered/spayed and bonded and live together in a large enclosure where they can dig and hide etc, set the standard for rabbit welfare which is lacking so much in the uk. But overall I think this is a beautiful farm and we would definitely visit again. We paid extra for the pig cuddles with pumba and really enjoyed it, the young lad who was in there with us was lovely and told us lots about all the animals, thank you for having us we will deffo be back again xx

   Found a real Gem. Came with the Mrs and thought we would be here for a hour, 3 hours later our hearts were full and our heads were clear. If you want to step off for a break in life I truly would recommend. Big shout out to Farmer Steve and Farmer Beth who did the lamb feeding they were amazing making sure everyone got one and one time with the lambs. All the staff were really friendly and made us feel really working, the place had a really personal vibe and we would recommend to everyone. Will we be back? Most definitely

   Wow!! (Nothing else needs to be said) We decided to have a day out at this farm as it was local to us, had lambs and there was a feeding session, I had no idea it was going to be so great. Upon arrival we met the Farmers at the coffee station, they were extremely friendly and told us all about the farm. We bought coffee’s and animal food. Once inside there is a lovely play area with seats to sit and watch your children. There are so many animals to see, my children were thrilled to be able to feed the animals too. Facilities around the farm are very good with hand washing stations, toilets and a couple of play areas. The lamb feeding session was the highlight of our trip and my two girls were chatting about it non-stop on the way home. Izzy and her assistant were so knowledgeable about the lambs, explaining where they are from and what will happen to them when they grow. They went through what would happen step by step. They not only fed the lambs but made their very own bottle up and go to handle the lambs at the end. This is probably one of the best animal experiences we have had. We will definitely be back. You can see how hard the staff have worked to get the farm open and how well the animals are looked after too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars from us! The Hill family from Leeds.

   We paid £22 for 2 adults and 1 child, it was our first time pumkin picking! The lady forgot to give us our animal feed, I did mention this to her when we was leaving, she wasn't very helpful and seemed more interested in talking to the 2 other people leaning on the burger van. There were hardly any pumpkins and most were rotten or half eaten. There was no staff to be seen on the farm, I wouldn't go again and I wouldn't recommend.

   Disappointed. The bouncy castle was filled with water and unusable, I asked staff if it could be cleaned so my grandchildren could play on it, they had problems finding cleaning materials to do this, after 30 minutes and asking if the manager or owner was available to resolve the situation I was told there was no manager or owners on site. The situation was resolved eventually as we were leaving but WHY open your play area if attractions can’t be used and WHY no leadership on site? You lost sales of drinks and food that day as I refused to purchase anything else from your establishment until the bouncy castle was sorted, unfortunately too late!

   Probably the best local farm around for miles. Beautiful animals that are cared for with the highest standards. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Parking on site was an absolute breeze and not far to walk at all. Great prices for food and cakes The play area for little people is amazing. I will definitely be returning regularly!

   For the money paid I have no complaints. Every member of staff was super helpful and friendly, the animals are lovely and my children and husband loved feeding them. The bouncy castles were also a big hit with our children as was the play area. Its by no means a big farm but there's plenty to do for 2-3 hours, or even longer with a picnic. The clown walking round was a nice touch even if my youngest was scared of him stealing her shoes!!
