We arrived quite late and only had 2 hours at the farm but it was a lovely place to take the kids and was so worth the visit. I am sometimes sceptical about visiting farms as I have in the past gone to the more popular resorts such as folly farm (to name one) and the animals there seem do depressed and un interested in the many visitors. The animals at the walnut farm were super friendly clean and very well looked after! There are plenty of parks doted around for the kids and go kart rides. We paid for a pony ride and tractor ride on entry only to find that the last tractor ride was at 3.30. That didn't matter though as the staff called the tractor and we were taken around the farm. It was beautiful!! You can even do fishing there on a lake. Very well maintained farm, can't wait to go bk in the summer and spend the day with a picnic and more time to...
Read moreRude lady. I only walked through the door as an excited customer who had drove past the signs showing the farm to open the door and be shouted no- I said sorry what and she said no! What do I want I just said I’m just looking for the reception to see if I can walk with my dog on the lead, (few other farm places have allowed in the past so I wanted to ask the question) she said in a what seemed snarky comment: this is the cafe and entrance and you can’t go round with him.
I’m fine with that, I know it’s a farm it’s the rudeness of the woman. Customer services takes nothing. All she had to do was turn the hoover off and just say hello can I help, and then answer me nicely.
I’m sure it’s a great venue. But a better greeting would be nice. I never leave reviews. But that really got to me how rude and abrupt she was.
Politeness...
Read moreWelcoming, pleasant farm situated in a straightforward and easy to find location. Affordable entry fee with the option to purchase animal feed at 50p a bag. On select days, tractor trailer and pony rides are offered for around £2 per person which is also reasonable. Friendly, hard working staff and a wide variation of animals to see, all well cared for and looked after. Plenty of picnic areas both indoor and outdoor as well as play areas for all ages. Clean toilet facilities, disabled access and suitable for pushchairs/prams. Cafe on site with hot meals and refreshments on offer for okay prices but we took our own picnic so didn't get to sample. Plenty of parking, ample room and space for children to run around and burn off energy and there are also fishing lakes on site. Great place to visit for a morning/afternoon out...
