“Such a lovely time”
We had such a lovely time with the donkeys. Our children are young but they could still get involved with every part. They loved the chance to get up close and groom the oh so gentle Pam and our eldest took great pride in walking her on the expedition. Neasa and co. were great hosts they let us get to know Pam in our in time and they were lovely to chat to. Would definitely recommend.

“Very sweet experience”
The staff were so friendly here, and they were only too eager to show us more of the site where the donkeys, horses, and caravans are kept. They have an amazing facility, great staff, and the cheekiest of donkeys. A very sweet experience.
