Family & Children's Activities

Pros:

  • "They had a wonderful time and loved feeding the animals, the bouncy pillow and tractor ride."
  • "Absolutely loved it. Little one had so much fun."
  • "Great family day out."
  • "Booked a birthday party experience and WOW!! huge hit with kids and parents."
  • "If you have children it can be a full day out."
  • "The kids had a great time and we learnt so much about farming locally, highlight was the tractor ride."
  • "Kids loved the experience here. Got the chance to feed some animals (goats and sheeps)."

Cons:

  • "It’s very expensive when there is very little to do or see."
  • "For the entry price I feel like it was quite run down, with exhibits closed off and poorly maintained throughout."
  • "To go into the animal area is expensive."
  • "Not enough food stalls or toilets the queues were so long and there were not enough seats for people especially elderly to sit and enjoy the band."
  • "A nicely out but probably wouldn't return."
  • "Unfortunately santa was too busy to visit whilst we were there which is a shame as I'm sure that would have made the evening more magical."
  • "Definitely not worth paying almost £30 for 2 adults to get in."

Facilities & Cleanliness

Pros:

  • "Grounds great shower and toilet facilities great(cleaned daily apart from spider webs but is in a field so can't be helped)."
  • "Several toilet blocks and good baby changing facilities dotted around."
  • "Free parking, toilets near the car park entrance."
  • "Masses of parking with CCTV, wheelchair friendly access."
  • "Good parking. Clean toilets with kid seats available."
  • "The toilets are also kept very clean."
  • "Parking is free and ample."

Cons:

  • "The aviary and the birds of prey and the 'woodland walk' are gravel paths which are totally unsuitable for wheelchair users."
  • "Not once whilst visiting the Farm did I see anyone sanitise, clean or wipe any surface (not even in the play barn where you eat)!"
  • "The changing facilities are only for women, also when u go in the changing room the floor was flooded and table wasn't really clean."
  • "For the amount of campers there is minimal toilets and showers, there are two toilet blocks but each block only has 2/3 toilets which really is not good and you are waiting in long lines when it is busy."
  • "Also the toilets located near the tractor trailer rides are no good."
  • "Toilets were good quality, but no baby changing in the men's."
  • "I will not return to the farm as I do not feel like its value for money but mainly due to the cleanliness."

Food & Dining

Pros:

  • "I had a sandwich which was fresh and tasty."
  • "We also had a piece of cake each - mine was a bit dry but still enjoyable with a cuppa."
  • "The Tiptree cream tea was a tad expensive £32 for two people...but then again the cakes were to die for(but what a way to go)."
  • "Reasonable price Ice cream and drinks."
  • "Had a lovely lunch and a couple cups of coffee/tea."
  • "Main cafe is quite good too with great breakfast options and children friendly."
  • "The cafe/restaurant here is also quite good, though very busy and we had to wait for a table."

Cons:

  • "Although food and drink can be a little pricey here, you're better off taking a packed lunch."
  • "Not enough food stalls or toilets the queues were so long and there were not enough seats for people especially elderly to sit and enjoy the band."
  • "Lunch options in the farm area are very limited. So either take a picnic or plan to go elsewhere."
  • "Ok for kids but take your own food don't eat there its not good, and its very expensive."
  • "Nothing at all highlighted as vegan."
  • "My friends had a quiche which they enjoyed but found the coleslaw rather hard and potatoes seemed to have been kept warm for some time."
  • "Only real gripe was no food inside the animal farm for adults, at £13.50 per adult expected a bit more."
