Run by volunteers and only a suggested donation of £2 for adults (think only £1 for kids) with the many various farmyard animals you'd expect. There's also a great cafe which you can go to without going inside but can still see some of the creatures. Like to visit here with my friends. Highly recommended <3

Nice little farm but hot drinks in the cafe were really horrible. They were £2.30 each for a watery brown fluid described as "luxury hot chocolate". The coffee wasn't much better. I don't understand how they can charge this much for hot drinks out of a machine. It's unscrupulous to thank customers by totally ripping them off. At those prices you expect a barista experience. Really disappointed and won't be back or recommending it.

Good sized farm with hens, sheep, cows, ponies, donkeys. Kids will enjoy watching them and also feeding. There is also a small play area. Suggest to visit once.

Moderately sized but excellent for small children upto around 10yrs. Lots of goats & sheep which you can purchase food for and they will eat it off your hand which kids loved. Nice walk through woods. Cafe there but didn't use as took food , lots of picnic benches. Friendly staff who will have a chat, appear to be lots of volunteers about. £2.00 adults kids £1. Could spend 2 hours here.

Nice little place but not a lot of variety (goats, goats, goats, sheep, cows, ponies horse, goats, donkeys, crocodile (joking!) And some small animals like bunnies etc). Nice place to let kids see the animals though.

Cheap lovely place. Fed the animals and went down the orchard nature walk. Perfect place for a basic farm for a couple of quid

It was quite a nice day out, a little smaller than i imagined but was nice to get close to the animals and ability to feed and pet them to. A steep hill to walk up, to get to the farm and when pushing a wheelchair or pram may be challenging

Nice place to spend an hour or two with the kids, limited number of animals but found it pleasant enough. Cafe and play area also.

We were disappointed by our recent visit. I agree that despite the entrance fee now being a lot higher, the facilities don't reflect this increase. We arrived and was told to pay in the café, there wasn't any staff there so we waited until the staff had stopped talking and paid. There was lots of sheep, a few goats, 2 horses and a donkey. We arrived 3 hours before closing and the staff were clearing up ready to go home, a lot of the smaller animals like the rabbits had been put in their cages and the stable Doors to view then were closed. The play area was overgrown and tired. We stayed for half an hour before leaving and on our way out we were shouted at for walking across the mopped café floor. This is the only way in and out so mopping the floor whilst visitors are still at the farm is ridiculous. It appeared as though they were rushing us out. The animals didn't have anything stimulating and the horses were in a tiny field. We won't return

It was ok. As one would expect with a farm in the city, a little limited, with most visiting the cafe as opposed to the farm itself.

Great little city farm to go to with kids. Nice audio guides for the older kids/adults, food for the animals available (50p) which the sheep go crazy for, and sometimes birds of prey. The cafe is ok, slow and a little overpriced, but food is kid friendly and nice for a tea and cake after walking around the farm.

This is a wonderful place, with a gentle atmosphere, animals being cared for and respected, not too much to get in, some equipment for children to clamber over, and well-written, intelligent-but-accessible signage.

Nice and inexpensive way to entertain children by having them to meet and feed live animals. The farm has a big playground area with a large picknick area, spacious children's cafe with good food and prices. The place is smoke-free througout.
