Wonderful place. So much for kids to do. Loved the big castle slide with tyres to sit on. Granny (me) and Grandad enjoyed it as much as the kids! Friendly helpful staff too.

We went for the Christmas experience. It is so well thought out and SEN and autism friendly. It's not the sort of thing we would usually be able to manage to do because our daughter struggles with busy noisy unpredictable environments but our daughter loves the farm so much that we thought we'd try it this year and booked the earliest slot we could in the hope it wouldn't be too packed. It is expensive but it was absolutely worth it for us. It is organised so you are kept busy doing things and not waiting in a queue at all for Santa, and all the families are spread out so it is a very quiet stress minimal environment. The little things like the way the visit to the toy shop to pick a gift is managed so it's not too many people in there at once makes a big difference for our family. The elves were absolutely lovely, very accomodating when our daughter needed a few minutes to calm down when she got overwhelmed and when she announced she needed the toilet right before she was about to see Santa, nothing was too much trouble and there were no questions or judgements which we sadly have to deal with all the time elsewhere but never at Whitehouse Farm. The 'real' talking reindeer was amazing! Santa in his log cabin with a real fire was lovely, not rushed at all he had a good chat with our daughter and knew things about her.. she's excited to put her magic reindeer food out on Christmas eve. She loved elf school with the slapstick comedy (I don't know the head elf's name but she always loves his shows they are pitched just right for her to understand the humour) and making her own cuddly toy, she loved handling the animals and getting her passport stamped everywhere. The only thing that was very stressful was lunch. We got to the cafe about 1pm because of the show times and trying to manage everything at the time it would be quietest, and it was really busy with a very long queue, it was a long wait to get a table and with all the events going on there was nowhere warm indoors to go and sit to eat pack lunch if you bought it, so the cafe was the only option. Although you can get a kids lunchbox quickly and skip the hot meal queue if you want to, you still have to queue even for sandwich for adults. It's not well organised and could be done better, but the staff were all friendly and doing their best. Go early or later for lunch if you can when it's not peak time. A seating area for bringing your own lunch somewhere warm and dry, and a better organised system for the cafe where you can grab cold food quickly if that's all you want would make it much better. Also our daughter was really excited about the new softplay, it was probably top of her list and it wasn't open yet so I wish I had known that beforehand so I wouldn't have told her it would be and then she wouldn't have been disappointed. But we look forward to seeing it in the spring and all in all she had a great time and made some wonderful memories.

We are regular visitors to the farm but 1st time xmas visitors. We cannot recommend it enough, from the tractor ride to where Santa resides. The elves were brilliant really made the day . So much to do not only see Santa the elves and a naughty Prancer the reindeer. You can also build a bear watch a show decorate a cookie visit Elf school. Let’s not forget the animals as well. A fantastic day out for all the family

We have visited the farm many times but today is the first time we have attended the Christmas event. By far the best Christmas event we have been to, the attention to detail is second to none, the amount of effort that has been put into the arrangement of display and how the activities are run is way above and beyond. Not to mention the staff, cold and heavy rain all day every single member of the staff made the event all the more enjoyable, smile on their face and encouraging all the kids to believe all the more so with their brilliant attitude towards their roles. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed herself and we will be back every year now.

We have visited several times in the past couple of years and have always had a fantastic fun-filled time. We visited the Christmas event today and it was better than ever. Fantastic festive activities, top quality gifts and really good value for money considering the effort and care that went into everything. And the real sparkle on the top of the tree was the fantastic staff who were friendly, festive and so warm and charming - they really added so much Christmas spirit to the event. Thanks to everyone involved - we'll be booking for next Christmas and will be back again before then.

My Wife and I took our 1 year old grandson to Whitehouse Farm Centre this week and had an amazing time. Started off by meeting Gail in the shop/reception area, great start as she was a star, told us everything we needed to know and was so friendly. There was so much to see, not just your everyday Farm animals (which were brill) especially the Giant sized pig that snores and breaks wind, much to the children's amusement. There were snakes, one GIANT yellow one and other smaller ones, skinny pigs, still not sure what they are other than they look like tiny hippopotamus's, meercats, monkeys, Reindeer, Rabbits, Goats, ponies, sheep and loads more. Don't worry, there are lots of hand washing areas and sanitiser for you to use. Our Grandson loved the very well equipped soft play area which was perfect. Can definitely recommend the cafe, had fish fingers chips and beans which were fab not overly priced either, good to see, as a lot of places will overcharge once your through the doors. Then off to the shop which is well stocked. Overall a brilliant day and we will definitely go back again, thanks Whitehouse Farm!

Whitehouse Farm was quite an expensive day trip out for us, as a special treat for a birthday, but we were absolutely not let down by it! There was so much to do, the kids (6 and 3) were never bored (and neither were we!) and most of all the staff really made the whole day by being so kind and engaging - special shoutout to the young guy at the top of the ‘Castle Catapult’ who had a bit of a grim cold job but was relentlessly canny, and the ladies who were running the animal petting who were so patient and engaged with the children. Having the huge soft play gave a great option on a rainy day and I imagine it would only even be better in the sun, but the rain didn’t spoil the day at all. We enjoyed the tractor ride, the toy tractors, the animal interactions, seeing the baby lambs, the cheeky goats, the adventure playground and bouncy pillows, the soft play and the trampolines - so much to do and not too spread out for little legs! Thanks to all the staff for a brilliant time :)

I couldn't recommend whitehouse farm enough. We went yesterday with the two young adults we care for. It was so inclusive and made our visit so much easier as carers. They now have an amazing changing room with a full size bed and hoist 😃. The tractor ride has a ramp and can fit 1 wheelchair, we were also abled to wheel up another wheelchair to be able to transfer onto the bench. The cafe blended a curry so my young man who has his lunch through a g peg was able to enjoy his dinner just like us. Every part of the farm was accessible for us and the staff went above and beyond to make our day amazing. Well done White House farm what an amazing place and amazing team. We can’t wait to return. 😃

After a fabulous visit on Wednesday last week, myself and my 9 year old son think the farm is amazing! The weather didn’t stop us and we had the best time. All of the staff were so lovely and kind, especially the girl working in the reptile and small animal section, she had long dark hair in a plait, and also the man who deals with the birds was very informative. We will definitely be back, hopefully when the sun is shining! Thanks for a great day!

I recently visited White House Farm this week and Despite the weather conditions, we had a great experience. Although our visit was cut short to only a few hours due to the rain, we were able to enjoy ourselves. I would highly recommend this location to anyone who wants to get up close and fuss over all the animals, and I look forward to returning on a nicer day to fully experience all that this location has to offer.. The only downside is that some staff members used inappropriate language in the presence of young children. This behaviour was unexpected and concerning, especially considering the family-friendly atmosphere of the establishment. I think it is important for all staff to maintain a professional demeanour and use appropriate language when around guests, particularly in family-oriented settings. We spent most of our time in the top barn where we could interact with sheep, goats, and horses. We had the opportunity to watch the few lambs being born and even had the chance to feed & hold them. However, our experience was brief as we were only allowed to bottle-feed the lambs for less than a minute. We had to wait in the queue for approximately 15 minutes, but the short feeding time may have been a deliberate measure to manage the queue efficiently. Holding the smallest animals, such as rabbits and Guinea pigs, was great & relaxing as we could sit down and spend time with them. We were excited to watch the birds of prey however, it had to be postponed due to weather. We would love to revisit to watch the birds of prey show in the future.
