点评:A lovely day out. I read the Facebook reviews beforehand, although we have been multiple times before the refurbishment and I was surprised at all the negativity.
The farm is pretty much the same as before the refurbishment with the exception of a new building as you walk up the path in which you’re checked in and can buy animal food for £2 a bag. Inside this building is a cafe and young children’s play area. Directly outside there are picnic benches and an ice cream counter in the other building which also houses the toilets.
Staff were polite and friendly. We enjoyed the bunny walk through. It was nice being able to wander in and out as we wanted and we managed to stroke rabbits, including a giant one.
There are chickens, ponies, pigs, goats, cows, alpacas. We also petted the rabbits and guinea pigs in the barn area near the tunnel the tractor goes under.
We fed goats, sheep’s and my favourite, the cows.
It’s a well kept farm, tidy and plenty of hand wash stations.
The forest walk is also nice with plenty of areas for children to explore and climb.
We didn’t eat at the farm as I’d checked the restaurant prices in advances and found them to be quite steep (in my opinions) so we bought a picnic, but we did also buy a coffee and brownie in the cafe which were reasonable.
The car park does get busy - it’s not huge and I did notice people moaning about this. I’m not sure what people want the farm to do about this - expand the car park perhaps? But there’s not really anyway to do that and there are plenty of areas around the farm you can park and walk the short distance.
Overall, a lovely farm and would definitely return.
翻译:美好的一天!虽然我们在翻新前来过好几次,但我还是事先看了Facebook上的评论,没想到会有这么多负面评价。
农场和翻新前几乎没什么区别,只是在通往农场的小路上多了一栋新建筑。在那里办理入住手续,可以花2英镑买一袋动物饲料。这栋建筑里有咖啡馆和儿童游乐区。建筑外面还有野餐桌,另一栋建筑里有冰淇淋柜台,厕所也在那里。
工作人员彬彬有礼,热情友好。我们很喜欢兔子漫步区。可以自由进出,真是太好了,我们还摸到了兔子,其中一只体型巨大。
农场里有鸡、小马、猪、山羊、奶牛和羊驼。我们还在拖拉机穿过的隧道附近的谷仓里抚摸了兔子和豚鼠。
我们喂了山羊、绵羊,还有我最喜欢的奶牛。
这是一个维护得很好的农场,干净整洁,洗手设施也很多。
森林步道也很不错,有很多地方适合孩子们探索和攀爬。
我们没有在农场用餐,因为我事先查过餐厅的价格,觉得有点贵(个人意见),所以我们买了野餐。不过,我们也在咖啡馆买了咖啡和布朗尼蛋糕,价格还算合理。
停车场确实比较拥挤——它不大,我注意到有人抱怨这一点。我不确定大家希望农场对此作何反应——或许应该扩建停车场?但实际上似乎没有办法扩建,而且农场周围有很多地方可以停车,然后步行一小段路就能到达。
总而言之,这是一个很棒的农场,我肯定会再来的。
