Reviews Summary

"Was a beautiful pumpkin Halloween
Enjoyed our trip. Disabled parking near to entrance .
Plesent and welcoming staff. Lots of large disabled toilets and plenty of sinks to wash hands. Lots of lovely animals to feed and some to look at lots of different ones
Toasting marshmallows and getting pumpkins from the patch with a wheelbarrow . Disabled scooter went around all the paths no problem . Did not use the cafe had a picnic 🧺 but used the bench and table for our food ."

"Had a wonderful day at the farm. Gemma was wonderful with the small animal experience, she made sure each person in our group had time to look at the animals and ask questions and handles them in a very safe manner. The tractor ride was also very informative and good fun worth the extra £1.50. In the cafe we asked for an allergy menu and the staff went above and beyond to make sure that the food was safe to eat for the allergy sufferers and were so lovely. I would definitely recommend a day out here. The animals are all really well cared for and the staff are very knowledgeable and kind. The playground is really fun too!"

".our day out at white post farm was great. My granddaughter really enjoyed it. The best parts for her were the tractor ride and feeding the animals. I expected to finish walking round after a couple of hours, however after 4 we still did not see it all, so we will have to return for another visit. All the staff were very friendly, especially the bee lady who really made my granddaughters day. Thankyou all we really enjoyed it."
