      This place will keep young kids entertained for the afternoon, however the conditions the small animals were kept in was awful. The guinea pigs and rabbits were kept on dirty bare concrete floors... Read full review

      Lovely farm but pricey
      3 of 5 stars
      Saturday, 1st February 2025
      Lovely little farm and indoor soft play area. Quite expensive for what it is though and food and drink astronomical! Fancied taking away a jar of honey, but £14 a bit steep! Read full review
