The cafe has a good selection of foods, the eggs benedict was very good.
There is also a animal walk which is £2 for adults and £3 for over two’s or £9 for a family ticket. They have Pygmy goats, Alpaca’s (Obviously), Donkeys, Pigs and Chickens and a large array of wild birds, you can just amble around and let the little ones take it all in.
The staff are very friendly, it’s well worth the visit.
Animals to see for the youngsters, Birds to watch on the feeders,very relaxing.
Had lovely warm waffles with fruit and ice cream, my 85 Yr old Mum loved it.
The service was good and all staff, some experienced and some just starting their employment were all very competent.
The brownie was bit lightweight, (my personal preference) and coffee a bit weak (again personal preference), which is why it got a 4 start. It is more of a 4.5 star cafe but not the brilliance of a 5 star. Would I cycle the 35 miles from home to visit again? Certainly.
The alpacas are really friendly and easy to get good pictures. Ample parking with both indoor and outdoor seating.
We saw an old London bus in the middle of the farm which was an abit of a surprise. The Alpacas we're amazing, alot were different colours, unfortunately weren't as friendly they didn't come too close to stroke them but that didn't take away the experience as I was worried they we're going to spit at us HA!
There was also a couple of donkeys and two huge pigs which after eating vegan food all week not by choice I thought of mouthwatering bacon (naughty I know).
Upon the walk out it was nice to see they had a gift shop, would have been better if they sold a few better gifts like fridge magnets/postcards ect for tourist's.
They have a cute little café, didn't use it unfortunately but it looked accessible and very clean.
