    What a lovely place, and the donkeys are so well looked after and there are plenty of places to sit and rest as you walk round. There are eateries and plenty of toilet facilities too. Well worth a visit!!

    Lovely to see all the donkeys. Brilliant open day. Remember to pay your donation in the bucket so this place can stay open. Good food, drinks available, smashing cakes. Some nice bits to buy

    I visited today, 2/07/23 and we had a lovely experience. The donkeys were friendly and well looked after. Beautiful relaxing surroundings, the brownies were absolutely delicious, the Victoria sponge cake was very tasty too, might just visit next time for the home made cakes. Overall a fabulous day out.

    Went to an open day which was fantastic. Lovely BBQ and homemade cakes. The donkeys are clearly so well looked after and happy. This charity does such great work. I would highly recommend going to the next open day if possible.

    Lovely place. We visited yesterday for the first time. Lovely staff. Very knowledgeable and happy to talk and answer questions. And the best part- the donkeys, they were so lovely & friendly. We were very surprised that there was no charge for parking and no entry fee. That is so unusual in this day & age. We will definitely visit again bringing carrots & ginger biscuits (that was something we learnt from Cathy, donkeys love ginger biscuits 😅 )
