This is an excellent place with a great cause. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, coming out with stories about the different monkeys and how they got there, and you could tell they genuinely cared and had the monkey's wellbeing at heart. Not many monkeys or very big, but lovely place in a lovely location. Me and the kids had fun, Thanks!
This is such a lovely little place!! They seem to be struggling for funding so we made sure we had some food there and a drink. The monkeys are so beautiful and have so much space to run and play and they really seem happy. The grounds are quite hilly but no problem for us. Lovely little eating area, clean toilets and lovely views out to sea. The staff though...they are absolutely outstanding! All of them were so happy to stand and chat and tell you about all the monkeys, their characters and how they ended up at the sanctuary. If you can go and help keep this place going definitely do it!!
A lovely little place. Can look around in about an hour. Can stretch it to 2 if with kids playing and having a little nibble in the shop. Sausage roll was gorgeous and the dessert I had. The staff are very good and very informative about the species they have and the individuals themselves. Was very interesting few hours out thankyou x

such a brilliant trip. the staff there are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and you can tell they're totally devoted to the monkeys. it's like one big happy family there. also, your admission fee allows you to return for a whole year. massively recommended if you're in the area!
Such an amazing day out. A must do if you are in the local area. Staff are full of knowledge and have a great care for all of the monkeys. Nice little gift shop and café all money goes back into the sanctuary. Play area and nice little walks. Activity sheets given out for kids. My 4 children enjoyed doing the activity. Fantastic day. Well worth the money for entry
We visited the monkey sanctuary for the third time and it was just as brilliant and informative this time as every other time. We spent a good few hours here, making sure we went up to the monkeys a few times, which meant we got to see the majority of the monkeys in their care. In between this, we explored the beautiful gardens, had refreshments at the cafe and explored the gift shop (we came away with two of the softest monkey teddys for our son!). The food is vegan, but you really can’t tell. It was the nicest sausage roll I’ve had in a while. The staff give very interesting talks, so make sure you stop to listen and ask questions- they’re so informative. I don’t understand the reviews that say they were in and out in half an hour. I think you get out of the experience what you put in. At the end of the day, these are wild animals who are not here for our amusement, so if you have a little patience and give it a chance, you’ll see most of the residents! It’s absolutely not a waste of money no matter how long you spend here. It’s a working sanctuary, not a zoo. Your money goes to keeping these amazing animals housed and cared for. Even if you only spent 10 minutes here (which would be impossible), you know your money has gone to an extremely worthwhile cause. A brilliant day out!
I've just completed the "keeper for a day" experience today. And what an experience, in the best, most life affirming sense of the word! A beautiful location and lucky enough to have had the best weather, with some of the most dedicated people guiding me through and providing a very friendly and informative day amongst the primates in their care (Kim, April and Luke to name only a few - apologies to everyone else, you're all absolute heroes). Want to buy someone a gift? This is highly recommended. And if you're stuck for a day out, this is definitely worth a visit. Thank you guys, I'll remember this amazing experience for a long time.
A fantastic place for all ages. Staff are so knowledgeable and passionate about the Monkeys. A lovely setting with so many exciting and large enclosures for the Monkeys to enjoy, especially after their terrible beginnings before the sanctuary. Our boys 7 & 9 both loved it. They said it was their favourite place of the holiday. Shop has lovely well priced items to appeal to all, plus all profits go to the sanctuary. With covid restrictions the cafe was shut but the gift shops sold snacks and drinks very cheap. Plus entry is valid for a year-we will be back.
