“As its free you cant really complain. Nice place to spend a couple of hours at most for the family. They have donkeys, highland cows, ducks, chickens, parrots, a pig, alpacas and some sheep. Like i said you wont spend a full day here but you dont have to spend a penny except for petrol.. You can buy feed for the animals and there are some boutique shops and a cafe as well.”

“Great place. We came away with bottles of local ales, chutney, meat and cheese. There are several different shops including clothing and camping. We'll worth visiting for all that alone but on top of it all there's the animals which our granddaughter loved seeing and feeding with the £1 bags of feed. Then having a tractor trailer ride around the fields, a play in the play area and an ice cream. Plenty of parking. Something for everyone.”
