We took a group of 54 Nursery and Reception children and have to say it was the best school trip we have ever done. The farmers; father and son, make it such an entertaining and educational day. It seemed quite small on our pre-visit but we were amazed how quickly the day went. The children are able to get really... More

Drove for an hour and a half to get there, and it didn't disappoint. Amazing!!! We spend a lot of times at farms but this ones tour really makes it. I haven't laughed so much in a long time, really educational, engaging and fun. Our 3 year old hasn't stopped talking about the sheep that had a haircut, or the... More

I took 60 x 5 and 6 year olds to Boydell's Dairy Farm in May 2012 on a school trip. The family who own the farm are lovely - so good with the children and couldn't do enough to ensure everything was just right. There are plenty of animals, and the farmers introduce them in a way which keeps the... More

What a great time the family had at Boydells. Firstly, value for money 2 adults and 2 kids for just £18! We were then treated to a guided tour of the farm which was extremely informative (for both the grown ups and kids alike) but delivered in a very humerous way by the farmer. It honestly felt like you were... More

What a treasure we have on our doorstep, our whole family visited the farm at the weekend and had the time of their lives, cuddling and feeding lambs, calves, pigs,goats and much much more. We will all be going back very soon. Well done x More

My daughter had her 5th birthday party at the farm last year and despite torrential rain in July it was a huge success. The children all had a wonderful time and the tour as usual was just magical. The family who run the farm and their staff are all really helpful and friendly and understand what makes children tick. They... More

My son was invited to a childrens party at Boydells Dairy Farm today and what a great time we had!! Farmer Kiley is very funny and engaging for all ages, his tour was great with lots of information for the adults and the kids (ages 3 - 6 ish!). The tour is very hands on and my 3 year old... More

I found this via Trip Advisor so think it's right to also add my positive experience here. My four year old and I went along today and I was really impressed by how much he was encouraged to do (holding chicks, milking a cow, feeding a lamb, leading a pony) and how friendly this small farm is. We'll be going... More

They have a cart ride for 50p .Entrance was £5 adult and £4 children, great value for money, will go... More
