What visitors say
This self-picking farm and tea garden consistently earns high praise as a beautiful, vibrant, and well-maintained destination. Guests frequently laud the delightful experience of picking their own colorful flowers, appreciating the wide selection and reasonable pricing.
The venue is particularly cherished by families, offering a rich array of engaging activities tailored for children. These include a large play boat, a sandbox, various play structures, an interactive barefoot path, and a treasure hunt. A charming animal pasture, home to sheep, goats, turkeys, chickens, geese, and rabbits, is another significant draw. Visitors consistently highlight the warm hospitality of the owner and staff, noting the establishment’s cozy, welcoming, and relaxing ambiance. The on-site tea garden is a popular feature, serving delightful treats such as tea, waffles with cream and strawberries, ice cream, and pastries, making it an ideal spot for a pleasant break or a high tea. Many describe their visit as a wonderful day out for all, although one reviewer noted its attractions might be more captivating for younger children.
While feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a few areas for improvement have been mentioned. One notably critical review described the farm as old and dilapidated, claiming that some advertised features were not evident. Another visitor, while appreciating the overall concept, observed that certain play equipment appeared dated and that shade was scarce in key areas like the barefoot path, animal enclosures, and the café. This visitor also suggested enhancing the barefoot path with more diverse textures for a richer sensory experience and noted that the petting zoo animals weren’t always eager to be petted. Despite these points, the potential and charm of the farm are widely recognized, with many hoping for continued investment in its development.
