Parking
Pros:
"There are parking lots at each end of the park, which will cost you a pound or so and can get full very quickly."
"Car park next to farm always busy but there is another car park at the other side. Parking cheap too."
"The car park is small and fills up very quickly, queues waiting for a parking space can take a long time so better going early in the morning!"
"Good parking, could use more signage to point out entrance to the actual farm."
"The actual car park is small but plenty parking around the area."
"Parking is 50p per hour I always give them a bit of money food 1pound a bag."
"Pay to park which isn't expensive although car park could be much bigger."
Cons:
"It has nice parking but no parking enough."
"Very small car park. Lots of lips and bumps in doorways for wheelchairs."
"Friend of mine parked there, she wasn't obstructing anything and got a parking fine."
Animal Interaction
Pros:
"Great afternoon with a good range of animals for the grandchildren to watch and enjoy."
"You can feed the animals and have a mini zoo/farm experience for the price of parking and the animal food."
"Most of the animals actually stick their head out to be pet or fed by visitors."
"This is a great place, lots of animals to see and often the opportunity to pet baby goats and pigs."
"They have chickens, goats, sheep, donkeys, pigs, rabbits, cows, guinea pigs, alpacas, and Shetland ponies."
"Got to see all the animals and pet some too."
"Fantastic day out, great to get up close to the animals."
Cons:
"Also beware that there are signs up to warn if particular animal bites, so make sure you read the sign before letting your child pat or feed."
"Only concern was that the animals seemed to be continually fed by public (pellets in brown bags I assume bought from park shop) and lots of waste food on ground."
"Did not get to see much of the animals and some of the enclosures were empty, so limited viewing from that point."
"Farm didn't seem to have many animals in? Maybe it was the time of year?"
"No feed available to buy at the moment due to rat problem."
"Went today and was disappointed. Was a very hot day there was no water in most of enclosures also they ducks are in a fenced area with no pond."
Cleanliness and Maintenance
Pros:
"Really nice well maintained park."
"Well kept, clean and friendly animals and staff."
"The family farm is a great addition, which is free. A great range of animals to see and also feed, with hand washing facilities and lots of sanitizer around too."
"The play park is clean, toilets looked after and the cafe is great value for the money with superbly presented meals cooked perfectly."
"You can see the animals are well cared for and the improvements in the farm in recent years are brilliant!"
"The farm is clean enough."
"Toilets inside cafe are clean."
Cons:
"Give outside toilets a miss, they are filthy and smell."
"At least half of the hand gel stations were empty unfortunately."
"The outside toilets could do with painting and bringing up to date not very clean☹ The floors in the Restaurant, seeing Snail trails on the carpet floor not nice to see in a place where you are eating food."
"The only problem I do have is it's great that they have a pet friendly restaurant but it's not nice that the carpet on the restaurant side is very very dirty."
"The cafe floor is quite dirty and the play area in the cafe is filthy."
"The only down side is there’s no baby changing facilities, the nearest are at the cafe but they are absolutely disgusting."
"Hand wash stations were empty and staff more interested in entertaining each other than doing any work."
Accessibility and Facilities
Pros:
"Entry to the farm is free but donations can be made at various points throughout via cash and card."
"It's free entrance to the see the animals and only £1 a bag for animal feed."
"If you are young or old, on foot or in a wheelchair, access is great!"
"The place was totally accessible by pram."
"The park is enclosed and plenty of variety with the equipment for all ages."
"The play area is fenced and gated. It is also very well equipped."
"The park is well sign posted once you get into Norton."
Cons:
"Also, some people bring dangerous dogs to scare our kids no one stops them."
"Rides were card only which l thought was bad plus no prices shown for cost of rides."
"Only downside was the cafe was closed due to staff shortages so couldn't get any drinks or get any feed for the little ones to give animals."
"Ok for little kids. Very small car park. Lots of lips and bumps in doorways for wheelchairs."
"Also, some people smoke near kids where they are not allowed to."
"Not as much to see as there was a couple of years ago, mainly chickens."
"The cafe is now closed and nothing to say when it is opening again."
