"Our first time visiting but we will be back. The farm was better than we expected, we spent longer there than we'd planned. The playgrounds are aimed at slightly younger children but my 10 year old still enjoyed the zip line and taller slide. I thought the cafe was very reasonably priced compared to other cafes like it, with a decent vegan range. The cafe staff were very friendly and helpful. The toilet facilities near the cafe were clean with a separate accessible toilet. There is plenty of parking with overflow car parks but I would advise to get their early on busier weekends with better weather as it did still get quite busy on the overcast Sunday we visited. It's not very clear how to pay for parking but just drive to the exit and pay there, ANPR wasn't working when we visited so a council worker taking contactless parking fee payments instead."

"Amazing farm in the middle of the woods. Lovely place for a day out with the kids. Lots of farm animals, a lot of nature to enjoy walking around, A new playground, a café, toilets, and picnic tables, some of them prepared to make a BBQ. We loved it! It's for free, only £2 for the parking"
