   Really enjoyed our ridiculously rainy day here, we went on the wildlife talk with one of the volunteers who was really informative and clearly loved the animals. Then we had 'meet the shire' talk with one of the foals and her mum, again a really nice experience with a guide happy to answer our questions. As well as the horses there are lots of chickens, geese and ducks, a pig, foxes, otters, pole cats, Scottish wildcats and an owl. There are also red deer but we only saw them at a distance because of the rain.

   we had the most amazing day here looking at the animals! the shire horses are so beautiful and we were able to stroke them as well as listen to a talk about each of them. The centre also has otters and foxes which we were able to learn about whilst they were being fed. Honestly, the most incredible place with such friendly staff and beautiful animals - will definitely be coming back!

   What a lovely place! My daughter enjoyed every minute from grooming a Shetland to stroking the shire horses noses. All animals are friendly and ysed to people, the chickens and geese will eat grain (bought from the shop) from your hand. My favourite bit was feeding time for the otters, red foxes and the wild cats! There were 4 shire foals in the paddocks and a big hello to the shire mare "Broom" who was so friendly, my daughter fell in love and bought a matching horse from the gift shop. There is a coffee shop on site that does food and slices of cake as well. Great place, would recommend to families with children of any age.

   Amazing place to visit, staff are so friendly and helpful. Horses are gorgeous along with all the other animals. Easily one of my new favourite places to visit. Can't recommend here enough.

   Very well maintained and planned centre. Horses have plenty of space and are taken care of very nicely. The 'history' barn is great idea same as a woodland trail with wooden animals to find. Cafe is very nice and staff are very friendly. Fab shop with toys and souvenirs. We spent about 3 hours there with a 5 and 9 year old. And will be back. The fact ticket allows you to come back free of charge within a month is very kind.

   Had a great time, in spite of the fact it rained all the time. Really enjoyed the added attractions of the wild cat, sadly missed the fox and squirrel feeding, as we were walking around looking at the lovely horses in the fields. I would recommend taking wellingtons, as some parts, like the woodland path was a bit muddy, however, most of the paths are laid, or grassy, so you don't have to worry. The cafe and gift shop are great, and the staff lovely. We will definitely go back on a drier day.
