Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was such a fun experience , I would do it again tomorrow!. We were visiting my son at university and wondering how to enjoy the surrounding peak district. I booked in advance for us to trek with these alpacas. We had two alpacas between 4 of us in our party and the trek took us through beautiful woodland with hillside scenery. You get a bag of food for the animals for the two food stops on route. The staff at the farm are so welcoming and friendly , happy to chat and answer questions and they really love their animals. The alpacas and Lama are all so adorable , well behaved and friendly all with their own characteristics, it is so enjoyable to spend time with them. I would give this experience 5/5 we came away with big smiles on our faces.

Had a lovely, fun trek today which despite the drizzle and cold, was really enjoyable! I am 100% now knowledgeable about alpacas now than before today. It was a good hour's amble with the little group of characterful alpacas in lovely autumnal woodland. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our day trekking with the alpacas and beautiful views of Sheffield. Guide ladies were really lovely and we took care of Santiago. We had an absolute blast with him. Definitely recommend this experience and will surely come back to check how our Santi is doing :)

The alpaca trek was gifted to myself and my partner for a Christmas present in 2022. We wanted to wait until it wasn’t too hot to do it and October was the perfect time! The staff are beyond friendly and the alpaca’s are just the cutest. You get to walk them for around 1 hour and feed them along the way. We got some amazing photo’s on the way too and it is a memory that will last a life time. Thank you so much to staff and well done for all your hard work. We will definitely be coming again!

We visited Holly Hagg today for a friend's birthday and had a fantastic time. All the volunteers were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the animals. The route we trekked gave some fantastic views of Sheffield, and it was overall just a brilliant experience. I would have no reservations about recommending the alpaca/llama trek to friends.

I would really recommend Holly Hagg to anyone who loves animals. Came here (for the second year in a row) for my birthday. There was a group of 8 of us altogether and we spent about 1.5hrs walking with the alpacas and llama. The staff and volunteers are lovely, they really make you feel welcome and you can tell how much they care about the animals. It really is a wonderful place here, it’s lovely to see how much space and comfort all the animals have, especially as some of them are rescues. Will definitely be coming back. Loved it, thank you so much x

Hi, sorry I've just spotted your question. It is very rare for young children to be afraid of the alpacas but if you aren't sure then why not try our Family Open Hour on Sunday June 9th from 2.30pm to 4pm when we offer alpaca meet and feed, pond dipping and meet the chickens. Just turn up at the gate £1.60 for adults, 80p for children.
On the treks we choose the calmest alpacas for the younger children and they have a double lead so an adult can take over instantly. Alpacas are rarely spooked and if it dows happen they soon settle down and an adult is able to control them.

Hi is there anywhere to park nearby or would you recommend getting a lift there? 😊 I’ve drove past a few times but still can’t quite work out where the starting location/farm is haha

Parking is available on the side road to Holly Hagg. No parking charge but be mindful not to double park as the road is narrow.

Hi Sarah, There are a number of them around in Sheffield but not within walking distance to the Farm. Hotels nearby such as Rutland Hotel, Fulwood Lodge hotel could be expensive but do have a look at Premier Inn Angel Street, Travelodge city centre (They have family rooms as well) these do sometimes good deals. It's more lively in the city centre and they do have fairs and all during school holidays other than that there's Sleep hotel Sheffield. Regarding the farm, if you doing a trek you'll need to book in advance as they sell out. Book on their website.
