"Great farm shop, butchers and cafe."
"Farm shop a little expensive but good quality especially the meat counter."
"Visited the farm shop. It had a wide range of products, a wide range of bottled beers, condiments, flours and other items."
"The farm shop is very well stocked too, 90% of it is local produce."
"Always a pleasure to shop here. We always order our Christmas turkey and ham from here and it never disappoints."
"Farm Shop is great. Expensive but you get what you pay for."
Cons:
"The shop had a good selection of meat but some other items available such as the Bakewell tart they sell in pound land at a fraction of the price!"
"Not a proper butchery. Butcher does not know all his cuts of meat."
"Price of cake far too high for such small slices."
"The joint of topside we received was coned shape so it cooked irregular - their customer service was zero."
"I went into pet shop first hardly anything for dogs other than raw frozen. Then went in the shop to buy some eggs nobody at till butcher was basting something totally ignored me."
"The farm shop here was nice with a good selection and helpful staff, however, I purchased the steak and kidney pie and it was a big mistake... It was awful, basically inedible, and I'm not fussy."

"Very friendly and accommodating with plenty of room inside and out."
"The cooked breakfast was great, the staff were friendly, the prices were fair."
"The staff are always very friendly and approachable."
"Wonderful cafe! New proprietor Roberto! - food is amazing."
Cons:
"Cannot believe the service and how rude the staff were.. took an hour for our breakfasts to arrive after being told there was a 20 minute wait."
"On arrival at the Butchers farm shop to collect for our pre-paid order we presented our ticket to receive our boxed order and they were very unfriendly and off-ish."
"I have never experienced such horrendous customer service in all my life."
"All the staff (at the cafe and the farm shop) are literally grumpy and unfriendly."
"The panini was awful and the surroundings really scruffy."
"Wasn’t very busy, but had to wait almost an hour for a breakfast, avoid if you're hungry. Shocking service, rude etc."

Play Area and Activities

Cons:
"Was very disappointed, very run down, play equipment is in a very poor state and animals did not look very well cared for."
"The play area is tired looking, overgrown and needs some investment. Animal paddock areas also need attention."
"Play area needs some money spending on it as it's getting run down to the point where it's verging on dangerous."
"A lot of the play area was not only run down, but broken wood, sectioned off swings & many parts bordering on dangerous for little ones."
"Took my grandchildren but had to leave as in very poor repair and play park dangerous."

"The animals have plenty of space for free roam."
Cons:
"Animals looked in a terrible state and not like the pictures on website."
"The animals did not seem well looked after and there was no fresh grass for them, it was all dusty."

"Sadly The animals looked on poor condition and not well kept at all."
