Had a wonderful day. Learnt about the farrier and the wheelwright, got to have a sit on a shire horse, and feed the lambs. Kids were intrigued by the whole experience, great day had by all, and the food in the cafe was lovely too

Great day out for family with younger children. 10 year old son loved feeding the lambs and seeing the piglets, pigmy goats, cows and horses (shire horses and Shetland ponies). Good cafe for lunch and good picnic areas. Staff were keen to talk about the animals and historic crafts.

I had a great day learning about farming methods of the late Victorian period. The talks and demonstrations by the farrier and wheelwright were very interesting, as was the tour of the farm given by the bailiff. Plenty to see, excellent food from the cafe, and good value for money as well. Highly recommended

Took our three young grandsons (3,6,7) on a lovely sunny day, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our time there. They liked the gypsy caravan playground area near the cafe, which we returned to as our base after seeing various activities and events. Lots of chickens roaming round, and they got to hold recently-hatched chicks, shown how to hold them correctly by the helpful man in charge. The eldest (7) made a corn dolly for his mother, helped by a patient lady in a small caravan- they all watched and were surprisingly quiet and attentive!. Baby piglets, donkey cart, shire horses, the old farm machinery and the wheelwright were all of interest, and they also enjoyed the schoolroom in the cottage, the maze and the icecreams in the cafe.

Was a little disappointed, not really much to do overall.
Very nice scenery, animals are well looked after and information plaques were informative. Found the interactive chats ok for older children but was tough to keep younger ones entertained.

I seem to be going to so many similar attractions like this and St Fagans takes some beatings.
It is good but not as large as I thought, lovely countryside around.

We had a groupon voucher to go here as sraying nearby for the weekend and wasn't really expecting much but we were really pleasantly surprised at how much there is there and the kids had so much fun. We all walked in with the animals and fed baby chicks and some older lambs. The bailiff was really informative and a pleasant guy. We ate in the cafe and had lovely meals at reasonable prices.
Lots of animals to see and touch. Even baby piglets which were so cute.
We have a return free voucher and may just make the journey to visit again.

A real Victorian working farm. Wellies recommended. Hands on experiences with some of the animals. The farm workers were very knowledgable and the bailiff gave an excellent talk with a tour of the farm. It is a working farm and so what is on offer changes with the seasons. An excellent cafe on site. All reasonably priced and no added extras to pay for. We went with 2 children aged 6 and 8 and they were kept interested.
