Only showing reviews for the last 30 months.

Included in the price was a tractor ride, deer safari.

Wonderful tractor drivers, really friendly and knowledgeable.

Lovely big enclosures tailored to the goats needs.

The highlight of our holidays was feeding the baby goats. they were adorable.

"no we definitely cannot take one home with us!" while secretly wishing that we could.

Clean. Hospitable. Relaxing.

2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: Rob - he was beyond what could be imagined in terms of friendliness and helpfulness. Enough to make us go again on its own merits -
However the setting is incredible. The ability to roam around when the farm is closed and have the play area and animals still around was priceless.

Disliked: Leaving.

Thank you Buckleburry. We would return in a heartbeat!

2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: Fantastic value for money, stunning setting in the beautiful English countryside. Plenty to do and see, the children (11 and 6) were entertained throughout and would spend all day with the baby goats if they could. The animals all looked thoroughly spoilt! Well cared for and healthy. Staff members went out of their way to help, they were very kind. The outdoor play equipment is great fun and keeps the children entertained. The site was so quiet at night, we loved listening out and trying to identify the different animal noises. The safari tent was a really fun adventure.

Disliked: Not a dislike as such but we were very glad we took the gas camping stove and some good torches (battery lamps) The fully equipped kitchen could do with a couple more items, we did not have a sharp knife (bread knife only) no vegetable peeler a caffetiere or coffee percolator would also have been a nice touch.

However there were things such as toilet roll, sugar sachets, tea bags, hand soap, towels dish cloth, matches candles etc already in the tent which we did not expect.

2 bedroom safari tent

Liked: Such a lovely site for the children. A great experience camping so close to all the wildlife. The view from the tent was lovely!!! Our little girl loved throwing on her wellies and being able to explore and have all the facilities of the park directly on your doorstep. We went during the Easter holidays so we got to take part on lamb feeding and the Easter hunt. Feeding the deer was her favourite so we did it several times during our stay. Food at the cafe was lovely. Cabin was great, shower was hot and with the fire going it was really warm and cosy. Great for us all to be without tv and screens for a few days - we had a fab time playing games in the evenings by candlelight! Everyone on the farm was really friendly and really knowledgeable about all the animals too.

Disliked: Next time I would just take my gas camping stove as although cooking on the fire was fine and did everything we needed, I would have just liked my morning cuppa bit quicker than having to get a fire going each day.

Local attractions

Keen to keep that countryside vibe going? Learn about farm life of the past at the Museum of English Rural Life (half an hour’s drive) or take a slow-paced journey along the canal with the Kennet Horse Boat Company (25 minutes). For a rather grander experience, pay a visit to Highclere Castle (25 minutes), which found TV fame as the location for Downton Abbey. Or see if you can spot some more exotic wildlife (like lizards and monkeys) among the tropical plants at The Living Rainforest (10 minutes). There are plenty of family-friendly activities around too – perhaps you’d like to try canoeing along the Thames (25 minutes), bouncing across the floating inflatables at Lagoona Park (25 minutes) or putting your way around Knights Realm Adventure Golf (half an hour). (And for a restorative pint after all that, the folk at the farm recommend Renegade Brewery, 10 minutes' drive away.)
