    We had a wonderful walk with an alpaca with a strong leadership personality called Napoleon. All alpacas seem very happy and the estate is well taken care of. You should bring some snacks for the animals. If you don't then you can buy wee snack bags for 50p. However, I was encouraged to buy 6 and it turned out to be true that the alpaca would demand that much...

    Poor time keeping, poor management, and incredibly rude to staff. They also cannot take constructive criticism and remove negative reviews from their social media page! Would much rather go to other local alpaca walking providers such as Cheshire Alpacas who treat their staff better and operate lawfully.

    Best day out ever!!!!!! Never been so impressed by a trip, from start to finish it was organised perfectly and was a smootg operation. The place for starters is just beautiful to visit and see the farm, as it just has a beautiful atmosphere. However the actual aplaca walk was by far the best animal experience ive ever been on, hands down beats any zoo in the UK. The alpacas where lovely, we had magnum who was a delight to walk with, plenty to experience on the walk in itself, which was chilled and we were able to walk at our own pace without feeling ruched etc. The whole event from start to finish was amazing, chilled, informative and enjoyable!! The owner had an amazing sense of making you feel welcome. Particular shoutout to the lady who worked in the cafe, im sorry i dont know the name Hwoever she was blonde and said she was new, she was a credit to the cafe, so helpful and happy!! Really made me smile!! In conclusion BEST.DAY.EVER.

    After waiting several months to go thanks to the pandemic, finally had our Alpaca walk this afternoon. Weather was miserable but thankfully the rain held off for the actual walk. Impressed with the whole set up. Alpacas were given out to everyone, we were expecting to share so that was a nice surprise. The two ladies who greeted us were very friendly and informative. The scenery is fabulous and it was a delight taking it all in and chatting to the rest of the party. Although we only had hot drinks, the cafe is very nice done. Would recommend

    We found this place purely by chance when we were looking at Google maps for somewhere different to go for an afternoon. My wife had always fancied doing a 'Walk With Llama/Alpacas experience so we thought we'd give it a go. Booking online was easy, a range of options was easy to follow. Directions to find it were also on the website and we found the place without any problems. We bought some bags of food and hand fed our alpacas as an introduction to them before going on a short walk around the paddock they have. The place is lovely and quiet, and tucked away in the countryside. We had booked afternoon tea after our meet and greet experience and when we went to the cafe there it was already set up for us and it was lovely. We really enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend it for anyone who has fancied doing that kind of thing. Thank you Oakmere Alpacas for a lovely afternoon.

    Great mornings walk with Alpaca "Yogi" Lovely venue and friendly owner made the experience of walking with Alpacas very worthwhile. Will do this again.

    Enjoyed a lovely visit to Oakmere Alpacas. Great set up and it was a wonderful experience seeing the Alpacas so close up. On site cafe, plenty of parking, easy access. Well worth a visit.

    Really enjoyed our walk around the fields and woodland with the Alpacas. The owner was very pleasant and friendly and the young lady who lead us around was very pleasant and friendly. A lovely way to spend thr morning.

    Had a wonderful day with the alpacas for my mums birthday. There was 5 of us including 2 kids. We did the short walk and afternoon tea. Everyone loved it. Staff were very nice and food lovely too.

    Genuinely lovely place to either enjoy the alpaca activities or just to have a coffee at the cafe. Staff here are lovely and plenty of alpacas around to say hello to. Some will see the services, such as the alpaca walks, as expensive. But, certainly where the kids are concerned, life is about experiences and this is definately one... up close and personal. Plus the afternoon tea is lovely - as is all the food available. Also remember the cost also allows the gorgeous animal your walking with to be fed and bedded and be happy! Lovely location to and better for your kids than spending that money on v-bucks and have them sat in the bedroom shouting at a screen!

    Fantastic experience. The staff were lovely, Poppy our guide obviously cared so much about the Alpaca's and was so knowledgeable. I will definitely be back - beautiful place. I would go there every day if I could !!!

    It was a really nice day out, the place is very pretty. There is a café in site. My partner and I were on a walk with a family of 4 and a single guide, not that you could possibly get lost. It took our group an hour start to finish. The track isn't too muddy and the ground isn't too uneven, however there are slightly muddy sections as you pass through various gates. We were offered the option to purchase some bags of feed, it was recommended that we buy 2 each at £1.50. We only bought one each and my partner's alpaca kept bugging her for more feed so she finished her bag quite quickly, I on the other hand had plenty left by the end of the walk and was allowed to feed any alpaca in the stable at the end of the walk. My only criticism would be that it could've been good to have a quick orientation at the start, just how to handle the alpacas and whatnot since we were just handed the leads and then we were off. Also, at the end of the walk there wasn't much fanfare. They more or less just put the alpacas away and left, it left us wondering for a moment if we were really done or not. Just a little "Well ok, I hope you've had a lovely time, thank you so much for coming, there's a café over there..." that kind of thing. All in all, we really enjoyed ourselves out was just a really cute wholesome day out.

    Lovely experience and our young guide Poppy was so lovely and informative. The walk was perfect and good value. Just one negative the lady who runs it seemed miffed that we booked on Groupon and even though my granddaughter was only 4 and didn’t have an Alpaca she insisted we paid £10 extra for her 😡 which was really annoying but what could we do!! So would we come again not sure.

    Today was a surprise for my daughter’s birthday. We had such a lovely time walking with Rupert and Bear and the group. It was very well organised, informative, friendly and relaxing. There’s a cafe with two very polite and helpful young ladies, a great choice of cakes too. We really enjoyed ourselves, so much so we’ve booked again for next month when we’ll be taking more of our family to enjoy the experience.

    Great experience. Had a little light lunch and drink, relaxing in the sun before the walk. Nice to have a couple of alpaca's to keep us company too. Fun developing a little bond on the walk with Paddington! Will almost certainly be returning (despite it being quite a drive from home). The overnight accommodation looked quiet special too, to make for a memorable trip.

    Absolutely loved our visit. Alpacas were gorgeous, the staff were so friendly, and the tea and cake in the cafe was delicious!! Highly recommend.

    Stayed for 2 nights in the on-site Shepherd's hut at Oakmere Alpacas. Was a brilliant get-away in such lovely scenery. Margot was a amazing host, who made us feel more than welcome. Would highly recommend people to consider staying for a night or two if they're travelling to walk the Alpacas, as there's plenty to see around Norley and Frodsham.
