Best for families and animal-loving kids keen to get close to enormous, placid shire horses and the friendlier non-equine animals, in a small, family-run Welsh setting.

πŸ† Funzaroo Verdict

The draw is getting close to enormous, placid shire horses and friendly animals, with owners who clearly care and talks that bring the farm's history, including horses chosen for royal ceremonies, to life. A small, family-run setting with a cafe makes an easy half-day; those staying overnight should weigh reports of poorly kept washing facilities.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Make time for the farm talks, which cover the horses' history and royal connections
⏰Ask about the free horse-drawn carriage ride for visitors
🎟️Children may get to pet the horses and even bottle-feed a foal, so bring something to wipe hands
πŸš—Stop at the cafe for drinks and meals, though service can vary on busier days

β€œWe had an amazing stay there. We booked via Pitch up to stay in a caravan there and for the price it was amazing The owners are wonderful and patient and really interesting to listen to. It's easy to locate and easy to access with local bus stops nearby However I do wish that the bathrooms and showers were better kept, I found them dirty most of the times and not cleaned for a long time Other than that it was amazing to sleep near the horses”

β€œA pleasant place to visit. Small and family run. A tea area where you can get drinks and a selection of meals and treats. The shire horse experience was pleasant, the talk about the farm development and stories about the horses, some of whom were selected to become the "Drum Major" and featured at the Royal Cerimonies. A ride in a horse drawn carriage is available to visitors at no extra cost. πŸ‘From my wife and I.”

β€œSeveral foals on the farm were delightful including one that I had the opportunity to bottle feed. The cafe did a good omelette even though they were having some problems that day. Plenty of opportunities to pet the horses and very informative talks. A sense of history being preserved in the living form of the horses.”

Overview

A working shire horse farm where the gentle giants come close enough to appreciate their sheer size, with a cast of other animals to meet alongside them. The owners' talk walks you through the farm's history and development, and a small tea area keeps drinks, meals and treats within reach. Pram access makes the loop manageable with little ones in tow.
