My children, friend and i did the Alpaca trekking experience, we really enjoyed. The alpacas were adorable and our host Charlotte was great she knew everything about them and told us a lot of information. We will be back. The heavy rain didn’t dampen our fun!
A fantastic birthday treat, just beautiful, calm alpacas and great guide, yummy cake too!

We recently visited as a group with family and friends for my daughter’s 10th birthday. Lola looked after us and was so super knowledgable and brilliant with the kids. She a is a real credit to the business as her customer service was excellent. The alpacas were fascinating and we have the most beautiful walk with a lovely stop off for refreshments along the way. We pre booked the refreshments and it was seamless. The tray bakes were delicious and the added happy birthday bunting and balloons for my daughter was a really special touch - thank you! Everyone loved the trek from the kids to the grandparents. We can’t wait to return again and do a sunset trek!

Booked the evening alpaca trek and had a fabulous time. Loved meeting all the alpacas, getting to feed them and then getting to choose one to walk with. Macchiato and I had a great time, leisurely strolling along the paths, pausing for a leafy snack here and there. The cheese board at the picnic tables was delicious. Our guide, Charlotte, was very friendly and knowledgeable and kept us all entertained. Highly recommend the experience.
Perfect family day out.
