Lovely place to visit with children! You can cuddle guinea pigs, brush the goats and more in the barn, can see more animals like sheep, pigs, chickens etc on a lovely little walk around the grounds. There’s a great indoor play area which is done beautifully, including a small room with some soft play items for younger ones. The outside play space is also charming with a sand pit, ride along mini tractors and hay bail play bits too. There is a cafe next to the indoor play area which is great for catching up. Several toilets and baby change facilities. There is also a nature trail you can walk, and the main cafe / restaurant upstairs, and the farm shop stocked with great locally sourced bits. It is a great day / afternoon out for the family!

It might seem expensive for one day entry as it’s not very big, however you only have to go 3 times a year for the annual pass to be worth it (and it also gets you discount in the cafe and farm shop too so quickly makes your money back!). Plus remember the proceeds go to Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust so a cause which helps protest and preserve what’s great about the bay.

The farm shop is lovely with locally sourced items such as yummy jams, chutneys, dressings, chocolates, wines, eggs, fresh veg and flowers etc. A deli counter with the option to make takeout lunch boxes (there’s usually some sort of deal on). There are children’s toys and books etc, gifts and homewares too.

I came here with my partner today, we love animals and it was so cute. If we had kids I know they’d love it.

A great day out for the family. We visited with our children and grandchild. Easy to park and a lovely place to walk and explore with a fantastic cafe, shop and good toilets.

Brilliant place to go for a few hours. Lovely woodland walk with lots of bird life to see. Beautifully kept grounds. Farm animals, petting corners. Nice restaurant and indoor play barn for kids. Lovely place to go for all ages.

Had my first visit at the weekend and was pleasantly surprised.
The wife and I took our 8month old and he enjoyed himself even though he's too young to appreciate any of it.
In my opinion the outside area seems a little sparse with only a few animals, the tractors available for kids to use seemed past their prime.
Besides these two things, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was amazing, I upgraded my day ticket to a season pass.
I would recommend a visit if you're looking for something to do with the kids or fancy some decent quality food.
I look forward to visiting a lot more often in the future.

It has a great car park including Disabled parking. It has a toilet, a cafe which is dog friendly. The farm shop downstairs has a lot on offer, from gifts, food, beverage etc. A good indoor play area for the kids, and a good nature trail to walk around. It's also on a bus route. And the woodlands close by which leads down into Cockington.
