We always love visiting the farm. The tour is so hands on and Sophie is really good with the toddlers. My son is a big fan of the snake. The soft play is brilliant too with a section for babies as well as older kids. It's difficult to drag them away after a day at Big Sheep Little Cow!

Visited today (Saturday) and it’s the best farm we’ve ever visited! The tour guide we had was hilarious and we all agreed he needs his own Tiktok channel. Our toddler loved stroking all the animals and the indoor play area and outdoor play areas too. And all very good value. We’ll be back 🙂

Visited the farm today. Hadn't pre booked online as it was a last minute decision when another excursion fell through.
This was no problem and we were made very welcome (family of one granny, 2 adults and 2 grandkids).
My grandaughter Is very much an animal lover and we appreciated the time spent both giving us information and allowing us to get to know the animals by Alex (or Al as he introduced himself to us). Al went above and beyond to make our experience of the farm both informative and pleasurable, introducing us to the Ferrets and rabbits, being very patient as we lingered with the guinea pigs and goats and facilitating very cheeky selfless with the pigs!
My granddaughter was very taken with this young man, especially when she found out he was a fellow rugby player, and our visit today has reinforced her wish to pursue a career in animal science and welfare.
Also lots of things to keep the grandson happy, including go karts snd barrel rides.
Top class day. Very pleasant staff. Would highly recommend!

PHENOMENAL. What an amazing find this was! In 3 hours we .... bottled fed a lamb, chased a tortoise, held a guinea pig, a rat, a ferret and a GIANT bunny . We saw a snake up close, brushed a miniature horse, had what felt like a private tour . The staff were so attentive, and so knowledgeable. That's just the animals. They had outdoor play area with pedal karts & climbing frame . They ALSO had 2 indoor play areas. 2 big slides, play area was huge, the other play area was for toddler/ babies with toys and a ballpit .
STAFF = AMAZING 👏 🤩
We travelled an hour here and it was well worth it! We would of stayed longer but the danger nap was looming!

Absolutely fabulous little farm. They hosted my son’s 3rd birthday party and couldn’t have been more helpful - it was the least stressful party I’ve ever done! All the staff were lovely but Libby was outstanding. She ran everything, checked in with us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed but without being too overhearing and, most importantly, was brilliant with the kids. We paid for an hour long farm tour in the party package and the kids all got to hold, stroke and feed a whole host of animals from 2 day old chicks, a snake, baby guinea pigs, a pony and goats. Really couldn’t recommend Big Sheep Little Cow highly enough.

Such a lovely day out. The entry price included access to the farm animals, grounds and soft play. The staff were so friendly and helpful - Hannah helped us feed the lambs and goat, Libby let us feed the goats, handle the snake, rabbits, tortoise, ferrets and guinea pigs and Al helped us brush the horse and feed the pigs. Although the staff were young, they've really so lovely with the children and very knowledgeable about the animals. The bumper cars and tractor rides were a snall additional cost but good fun. Nice little café too.

This is an amazing place. Different animals all accessible to see, feed, handle at various times with competent and friendly staff. Lots for families and children to do. Small cafe, indoor play area and toilet facilities. Being a farm, obviously mostly outdoors so dress appropriately. Accessible for wheelchairs and prams/buggies. A great day out. Also seasonal activities like lamb feeding in spring, Easter stuff going on this week wise visited so worth checking the website or drop them an email to check out what's happening. We were really impressed with the set up and will get regular visitors now to support this farm.

We had a most lovely visit to the farm. Our two year old loved being able to get close to the animals and the highlight was a ride on Raffles, the Shetland Pony. We were most impressed with Frances, who we found engaged both the children and adults alike. We will definitely be back again.
