On our working farm we specialise in meeting the needs of parents and pre-school children alike. Whatever the weather, whatever your needs, there is always heaps to see and do both indoors and out. So much, that many of our guests report under 5s that sleep soundly all night and who wake ready to play and help on the farm all over again, each morning of their stay! So why not grab your wellies, and let your children… help feed our animals, collect eggs for breakfast, bottle feed our orphan lambs, groom and ride our ponies, join our tractor and trailer adventure and play in our wonderful farm themed playgrounds. We welcome real nappy users and provide nappy buckets and a free nappy laundry service for guests.
