The goats were lovely and the shire horses but apart from that geese and ducks were not very interesting. We had to while away quite a bit of time in the café before getting back on the coach. In the Bailiff's cottage (which was quite interesting) I had the unfortunate experience of being bitten by the resident cat after I ceased stroking its head! So beware of a black cat with glittering emerald eyes.

Went with 2 families, children aged 7,8,9 & 10. It's not enormous but there was plenty to do. The staff are lovely and happy to chat. We fed lambs, held baby chicks that were hours old. We stopped for a bite to eat in the cafe too and food was great, reasonably priced and decent portions. The ticket price also includes a free second visit so we'll definitely be going back.

We were staying in the glamping site on the Acton Scott estate and visited the farm with our children. We really enjoyed our visit. There was lots to see and it was great to see a variety of different farm animals. The Old School House restaurant is also worth a visit. Fantastic coffee and home made cakes.

Visited this on an overcast morning which seemed to suit the mood of the farm. Lots of animals to see and to wonder around. The staff were very good at explaining things and allowing our grand daughters to feed various animals. A good morning out.

What a fantastic place! I have been coming to Acton Scott since i was a child and every time i leave wanting to return. This time it was myself and my wife who visited. We loved the fact that you can roam around what is a genuinely working farm and yet never feel in the way. The staff are superb, answering questions whilst simultaneously getting on with running the farm with techniques from the past. It is fascinating to watch and learn. When we visited we saw pigs, piglets, extremely friendly cows, chickens, ducks, a donkey and magnificent working shire horses. A great place to learn about our farming past and see it in action.

This is a great day out for the whole family, you can help out on the farm if you want, there are plenty of farm animals to see, they can offer you a programme of traditional rural crafts & trade courses. They have a nice café on site if you feel like a break.

Interesting and well presented working Victorian farm. Good exhibits and plenty of information. Friendly staff and lots going on. Free repeat admission within the same year, which is good if you want to make a repeat visit. The whole family enjoyed the visit.

We visited her as a group of 5 adults and a 5yo. Had a lovely time learning the history of farming and watching historic farming techniques be kept alive!
There's a lovely cafe serving beautiful homemade food at a resonable price, also ample picnic space in beautiful grounds.
The little one loved it, but so did the rest of us! Highly recommended!

Easy to walk around in an hour but recommend joining the Bailiff's tour of the farmyard where he talks about the history and practicalities of running the farm. We could have spent all day there; you are given a map and an itinerary for the day at the entrance. Briefly, we saw the two working Shire horses, the working blacksmith, ducks, chickens, goats, pigs, cows, threshing facilities, the dairy, wheelwright, cottage and of course the delightful cafe/restaurant in the old school.
