Lovely day out, went on the last Saturday of half term, thought ticket prices were a little expensive for what's there. But enjoyed feeding lambs and seeing all the different sheep. Soft play was pretty good, limited table space though. There are rides available, but we didn't use them, so I'm unsure if they are an additional cost or not. We paid extra for a pumpkin (£2 – which was reasonable compared to other pumpkin picking places), and the pumpkin activity tent was nice. Its a shame my toddler was more interested in puddle jumping and leaf throwing rather than anything else there 🤦🏼‍♀️🙈. Gift shop has some quite reasonably priced products.

Was presently surprised by this place! – great value for money, and once in food, drink and even the shop are all reasonably priced! Staff are very helpful… your overwhelmed by sheep at the end of the day though! – dog kennels are provided! – we used them, although they're very basic, they certain do the job, and it's much better than leaving her in a tent/ caravan whilst on holiday! …… more places should offer this service.

Lovely place for children and adults alike. Lots to do including feeding lambs. Sheep jockey racing. Tractor rides and train ride around site. Lots of sheep. Cows and ducks and llamas to look at inside a nice open barn. Plenty of places to eat.

Great place to visit. Lots of things to do and see, including rides for big and small. The talks are worth going to, we loved the lamb feeding! It was a real experience, my son fed a lamb via a bottle. There's a sheep race, you bet on a sheep, it's all for fun, winners get a winner badge and cup. The rides were also great. A good family day out. Worth going for opening and staying until closing.Some good reasonably priced gift items in the shop too!

Great place for all the family. We went when it was raining but there's loads to do indoors. The soft play area is huge and there's a baby sensory room too. Rides, sheep racing, duck trials, a petting zoo, and much more. Highly recommended for families of all ages. 😊
