We have just got home after a 1 night break in the cowboy and Angels studio. I actually cannot fault our stay at all it was perfect. We were met by the very friendly owner who showed us around and told us all about feeding the animals. The children loved feeding them! We used the discount at the greene oak pub where the food was just phenomenal. We had a very cosy night in with two very tired children after a day at legoland! We bed was extremely comfortable and we all got a great nights sleep. Waking to feed the animals and getting our fresh eggs for breakfast was a real treat! We didn’t actually want to leave to go back to legoland! If you want a very special snug abs cosy base for a legoland trip, do not hesitate to book, perfect stay, we will be back for sure! Thanks

Trindledown Farm is dedicated exclusively to caring for those animals enjoying the twilight years of their lives. Our rescue and rehoming centre is home to both field animals and domestic pets. We offer tours of the centre from 11-4 every day. Tours of the centre can be easily arranged and visitors are encouraged to wander the kennel corridors, visit the cat pens and animals in the fields. We are temporarily closed at the moment in line with Government Guidelines but our onsite shops are open. No appointments are needed but we do ask that you report at reception

This is well worth a visit. There are Alpacas, sheep, cats, dogs, birds, horses, a pot bellied pig, rabbits etc. There is also a shop where you can find a bargain and a wonderful cafe with a great choice of yummy cakes and, on most days, hot food at amazing prices. They hold New to You sales in their barn which are terrific and you are bound to come home with a bargain. I recently arranged to take an elderly lady who loves Alpacas. The staff were wonderful. They encouraged the Alpacas up to the fence and provided food for the lady to feed them with. Next she fed the sheep, visited the cats and dogs and finished the visit off in the cafe with tea and cake. She couldn’t have been happier and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. It may not be a big place bursting with animals but it is doing a wonderful job and should be supported and encouraged. The animals are happy in large enclosures or fields. Entry is by donation and they are grateful for all donations to their shop and Sales days. Thoroughly recommend Trindledown for all the family

The park was enjoyed by all the family ranging from 10 months to 67 years! Excellent play facilities for the children including the indoor "death" slides, bouncing pillow, gokarts,panning for gold and general play area.The tractor ride to feed the deer was really popular and only a short wait. There were plenty of opportunities to get up close with a range of animals and the children loved goat walking and grooming guinea pigs. Plenty of places for picnics with lots of benches available. Cafe was open but only used for drinks and ice creams.

It’s a lovely place to browse indoor and out. There’s something for every one. Great meeting place for a catch up with friends or business meeting. The staff always greet me with a smile and a friendly welcome.

I visited Jake’s for the first time in August and had a really great time. I took my daughter and her 2 cousins, ages 7 months, 5 years and 9 years old and all of them had a great time. The farm is set on a lake so the location is beautiful. It’s an added bonus that you can drive a boat on the lake, the kids loved it! There is enough to do to keep kids amused whilst adults can enjoy a coffee! The numbers were limited due to COVID and that made it feel safe. Will definitely be visiting again once my daughter is a little older to really enjoy all the facilities.

We booked the two hour farm visit directly and it was one of the best activities we have done in a long time. The booking through Dawn was easy and communication and directions really good. We were a group of six including a 16 month toddler and every care was taken to ensure we safely enjoyed our visit and understood about the animals. On arrival at the farm we were greeted by Suzanna and Mia were amazing throughout (as well as extremely patient) allowing us to go at our pace to interact with the farm animals. Suzanne took care to explain about their social distancing protocols as well as health and safety for our visit at the onset making sure we felt safe throughout our visit. Asking about favourite activities I would have to say walking the goats and Shetland pony (although our toddler loved combing the baby goats and stroking the chickens). This is a very safe hands on experience and although our ages ranged from 60 plus to 16 months everyone said how good the visit had been. We would be very happy to return.It was such a memorable day.

I came here for a lambing day at Easter. We paid £5 each for the farm tour. It was money well spent I felt as it was a very informative tour. We got to see and learn all about the free range chickens which I was not expecting, and then we gained access to the lambing area and we saw 2 lambs being born which was a wonderful experience. The farm staff themselves are a bit hectic, but this is to be expected as it is of course a working farm. A really great day out. I just hope the other animals (goats etc) that are there for petting by the public are well looked after, as some of them looked a bit uncared for. You can buy food to feed them which is fun and there is hand sanitizer available to use afterwards if you're worried abut hygiene! There's also a nice little farm shop with local meat from the farm and lots of other treats you can buy to take home with you.
