Animal Interaction
Pros:
"Being able to interact with this amazing pigs was very special and we will certainly be looking to visit again."
"The pigs are very friendly and seemed happy to hang out with guests."
"We were lucky to visit on a weekday and had all of the pig friends for just the two of us."
"The pigs are quite friendly and tame."
"All the pigs were very friendly and you could tell they loved all the attention, even rolling over so you could scratch their bellies!"
"We were given brushes to carefully groom the piggies which was not only a super calming experience for me, but also for the pigs."
"It was fantastic to be able to go into the petting pens to stroke and brush the pigs."
"Pigs in good condition...quite expensive for what we got to do."
Cons:
"Pigs have gotten bored of human contact which is understandable but could have more in their pens for enrichment."
"The pigs had no interest in us what so ever, they just wanted to forage around for food."
"1 of the pigs bit me on my trousers luckily they didn't cause injury."
"The piglets are huge and thanks to Groupon it was packed with people."
"Mediocre at best. It was a free for all with the pigs."
"Unfortunately, my little boy was so unwell on the day I had to take him to A&E due to a bad cough and fever."
"Really poor experience. Apparently new changes in legislation means you can’t enter the pens."
"We were not allowed by the owner to go in the field with them."
Staff and Guide Interaction
Pros:
"Kelly was very helpful and even helped us see some baby piglets!"
"Becky, who showed us round, was incredibly passionate and very friendly with guests."
"The young lady who welcomed us and showed us around was talkative and knowledgeable."
"The staff were so lovely and friendly, pigs are cute, it was such a lovely experience."
"The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly and we will definitely be back."
"The staff were really nice. We had a short tour of the farm and then free time to be with the pigs."
"Our guide was very knowledgeable, clearly cared for all the animals, and obviously loved her job."
"Staff is So knowledgeable and the time in the pens is great."
Cons:
"The pigs were oversized to be classed as micro-pigs and we were expected to sit in the mud."
"When explaining you couldn't go in with the goats, she then held my shoulder and said 'you can't go in there...okay?' Because for some reason she felt like I can't understand simple instructions because I'm autistic."
"My parents tried to change the date of the booking to be told they can't as they purchased through a 3rd party! However when my dad checked the voucher had been redeemed."
"To sum up she is a rude lady and not welcoming what so ever, when you drive 1.5 hours to get to her field you don't wish to be treated like this."
"Staff were extremely rude and treated us worse then the pigs 😤 The fact that I have to put even one star offends me."
"I was expecting little micro pigs but although told they were they were a lot bigger than expected."
"I get that the animals are in their natural environment and the way they behave can not and should not be manipulated for our entertainment but overall it was very misleading, expensive and disappointing."
"It is clear this is a unsympathetic organisation that would prefer to pocket the cash than rebook me for another day and would rather customers turn up with possible Covid symptoms rather than show any degree of flexibility and empathy, which seems ludicrous in the current circumstances."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Definitely worth the trip, the pigs are so well looked after."
"I was treated to the Pig Enthusiast experience as a gift but would happily return for either the same experience or the basic experience."
"This is an amazing experience. Not too expensive and worth so much more than it costs."
"My partner and I visited for an experience day; meeting, feeding and fussing the pigs."
"The Pig Enthusiast Experience AMAZING. The rain didn't even spoil our experience."
"We had a great time and highly recommend!"
"Would highly recommend. Such a fun experience and lots of interesting facts so a nice learning experience."
"It’s a great experience and I thoroughly recommend it, getting close to nature isn’t all clean and fluffy."
Cons:
"It is a nice experience, to stroke and brush pigs. My family and I really enjoyed it as a one-time activity. The negatives are that it is very overpriced at £100 for a family of 4."
"In my opinion, and having visited many city farms in London, the whole experience is overpriced and two hours is too long to spend on that farm."
"It is overpriced, however this does price most people out and keep the hoards away which makes it much more of a quiet encounter."
"Would I go again, no. I've done it now. It was a good one-off experience."
"Really overpriced, we got two of the tickets half price but it was still £90 for the 4 of us."
"If you don't know much about pigs, it's better to do a bit of reading before visiting this farm. A few of us were expecting to see baby piglets, but as it's stated on the website, they don't always have piglets on site."
"Only had four pens we could go in with no smaller pigs there as ‘we sold them all during lockdown to keep the place going’. Wish it would have said that on the website."
"Very overpriced. I think £60 was far to much for what the experience was (90min pet and play session), which was looking at micro pigs, goats and chickens with the opportunity to get in the pens with the pigs."
