Some reviews from our happy farm yard visitors

Very cute, small and wholesome farm with goats (friendly) bunnies, chickens and guinea pigs. You can also buy food for the animals for £1. There is a very cute cafe too. I recommend it for all ages!

Wonderful place! We went there during our visit in London and i must say it was much more than i expected! I adore animals and booked 2 meet and greet experiences with the Alpacas and Goats! …The animals are well looked after, well fed and very very friendly! … For me it was a dream come true!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you all for being such an amazing venue for our staff awayday last Wednesday (PET). It was such a successful day and so much of that was down to you guys. You were all so welcoming and a special thank you to the lady who provided us with our delicious lunch and cake. If you’ll have us we will certainly be back.

I just wanted to thank you and your team for having us on Tuesday. Your team was very welcoming and accommodating, we really had a great time! We definitely will be booking the rooms again.

Just wanted to get in touch to say thank you for such a good workshop this morning - the kids all loved it and came out feeling calm and happy and knowing some new facts about the animals.
