I was very impressed with my first visit here. Although it was bad weather there was still plenty to keep three five year olds occupied. The staff were excellent - very friendly and especially good with the children. They got to feed lambs, sit on a shire horse and hold chicks. The café was excellent and the backdrop is beautiful. We look forward to coming back as it can only be improved upon in good weather and there was still a lot we didn't see.

We visited the farm for the first time this week with my daughter and children and loved it! This is a real working farm in a beautiful setting. Our 2 year old granddaughter loved feeding the lambs, seeing the piglets and stroking the shire horses. She also loved the sandpit and the maze. My daughter has a family season ticket as she lives nearby - an excellent idea. I look after the grandchildren regularly and will probably be there nest weekend. The food from the cafe is outstanding but be prepared for a wait.

A nice family day out, plenty to look at, good for children, our Granddaughters highlight was sitting astride the Shire horses before we watched them sowing the field.

Lots of things to see how farming used to be done. Animals - sheep, cattle, pigs, geese, chickens, heavy horses. Historic machinery. demonstrations of various old country crafts, spinning, felt making, wheel wright, blacksmith, ploughing with the horses etc. Short guided tour around the farmyard was very interesting
Nice café in the old school building service quite slow at peak times, but the food was well worth the wait.

Visited last Wednesday. Fascinated by the 18th century buildings, the collection of rare(ish) breeds of farm animals and the feel of a small farm, including the working shire horses and a donkey! Interesting to see the work of the wheelwright and blacksmith. Did the farm tour with the 'bailiff', which was both interesting and entertaining. The old school house (now the cafe) provided delicious lunches.

We went to Acton Scott yesterday and despite the weather had a fantastic time! Family of 6 aged between 3 and 82 and we all enjoyed it. The staff are lovely and really informative and the (baby) animals are simply gorgeous. We arrived late but still got to bottle feed lambs, old chicks and ducklings, collect eggs, watch calves feeding and the gorgeous 1 day old piglets. We will be back soon!!

This is a must for young and old alike. I went with a 2 and 4 year old and it was absolutely perfect! They bottle fed lambs, held chicks and ducklings and even sat on Charlie the wonderful Shire Horse. The staff could not have been more helpful or kind and a happy half an hour spent around the cafe ( shepherds hut style Wendy house a firm favourite) where food was excellent and the children's food baskets first class. It's wonderful!
