Farm Stay Experience Holidays
From the start of April to the end of October we offer our guests a farm tour so they can get a bit closer to our animals. The farm tour can be different each time depending on what animals are in the fields, but usually you'll get to meet some pigs, alpaca and sheep, geese, some chickens and usually there is an opportunity to have a tractor ride as long as the tractor is working!
You'll also see our friendly farm dogs around the farm and sometimes our neighbours' dogs come over to say hello! Our dogs will be off the lead but they are used to our visitors and although they are large, they are very friendly, however we do ask that you never feed them, otherwise they will beg for more! We ask for guest dogs to be on leads at all times please.
We usually have lots of new lambs in the Spring, piglets too, we have chickens on the farm all year round all year round (unless the fox has been). By October Half Term the lambs will be big and so will the pigs!
Our farm tour is a good opportunity to ask us any questions you like! It takes about 40 minutes and we recommend wellies. There's no charge for the tour and we'll confirm when we are doing it in our arrival email. We usually do it in the morning at 9am, I appreciate some guests find this too early, but this is when the animals are hungry and can be guaranteed to come out and entertain us! They're not so interactive later in the day, and it's hard to nudge a well fed sleeping pig!

Child Friendly Farm Stay Holidays South West
Our neighbours are all farmers too, there are ponies in the local fields, several poultry farms in the village and fields of organic sheep and cows all around us.
Please note you will hear animals during your stay! There is baaing from sheep, mooing from our neighbours Aberdeen Angus cows, clucking from hens and cockerels, our neighbour has ponies which you can sometimes hear and there are tractors around too. The safari tents have canvas walls so farm noise is all part of the farm glamping experience! And please also note the farm tour is only for guests staying here in our accommodation, we don't accept day visitors or offer tours for people who are not staying.
