This was very enjoyable experience and the farm tour was a must do! We were able to meet the animals and feed most of them. It was pouring the whole tour and this didn't take away from the experience at all.
Nice afternoon

It was about a 40 minute boat ride to the farm - nice views, pleasant ride. The farm tour was approximately 2 hours - it included high tea, (which was very tasty - the scones were fabulous), a tour of the farm and a sheep shearing demonstration. It was a beautiful farm and the tour guide was very friendly.
A chance to feed a huge Woolly Coo on a working farm.

The cruise over and back was very relaxing but it did feel breezy on deck when the ship was under way (even on a warm, still day) so maybe take a sweater with you. We did the farm tour with Ashley and got to meet and feed lots of different animals including a huge (but very placid) Dougie the Highland cow or 'Woolly Coo' as we say in Scotland. Ashley's sheep sheering demo was fascinating and a lot of fun - the double act with her dog was cute and pure comedy. The high tea in the open barn was ok - plenty of different buns and cakes but pesky birds a bit of a pain. We had a great day and would happily recommend it to anyone.
Very difficult company to...

Very difficult company to deal with who had rigid rules and displayed no compassion due to circumstances beyond our control. Very disappointed in the lack of humanity. Offered a 20% discount to rebook. What an absolute ripoff and a joke.
Lovely trip

Cruise was very nice but the guitar player not needed - would be nice to just take in the scenery. Definitely book tickets as it gets very busy. Farm was excellent and very informative staff. Afternoon Tea was nice although there wasn’t a lot of it! Overall a thoroughly enjoyable day
