Was an absolutely brilliant day, my daughter enjoyed bottle feeding the goats, pony ride, holding rabbits, trampolines, soft play. So much fun and wonderful staff too, very friendly and polite. Would highly recommend, a brilliant day out!

Thank you for a wonderful afternoon out. During the 15 years since we last visited when our children were young, you have made some great changes. We were very impressed and will certainly visit again.

A big thank you to Farmer Bryan for making Hayleys Hen farm do such an amazing experienc! I don't think any of us realised how much contact we would have withs the animals, it really made the day. I dont think I will ever forget being eaten alive by the adult goats. We all had a great time and many many laughs, and even survived Hayley driving the tractor! Thank you very much and I will be back with my children in the holidays. Kind Regards Nicky.

We went to Longdown as a year group (Year 4) yesterday. We really enjoyed holding the rabbits because they had velvety soft ears and twitchy noses with long whiskers. We loved feeding the goats because they pulled the bottles from our hands and they were so strong. One of the bigger goats took a whole plate from one of us! We think one of the members of staff plans to buy a couple of goats for the school stables to live with the horses, but we will have to wait and see! The milking competition was exciting but the boys were whipped by the girls!!! We all look forward to returning soon, perhaps for a birthday party. Thank you for a super day. From Lower 4M.

This was our second trip to the farm for my daughters Rebecca's 4th birthday. We had an even better time than last year and I'm looking forward to taking my baby here for her 1st birthday. The staff are wonderful and we got quite emotional about seeing lovely Billy the horse again - he is an absolute star. So much to do and see. Highly recommended to anyone with kids. Love the gift shop too! Could spend a fortune in there! Looking forward to returning next year Billy xxx

I took my two boys aged 2 years and 6 years here yesterday. It's the first time we have been and they both had a wonderful time. Everything is so well laid out and very clean. The refreshments and gift shop are reasonably priced. The boys were a bit disappointed that no matter how many times they looked they didn't find an egg but we will definitely be back. The boys want to show daddy what a fantastic place they went to. We live just over an hours drive but its definitely worth the drive. Thank you for a fantastic day out!!!!!!!!

I visited the farm with my disabled son, a friend & her disabled brother. The staff (all of them) were extremely friendly & helpful, making sure our lads had every oppourtunity to enjoy each experience to the full, to them a BIG thank you. Lots to do, the tractor ride was a particular favourite along with the small animal petting, a wonderful day, in a warm welcoming atmosphere and all very reasonably priced too. We will definitely be back :o)

We had a wonderful day out here on Sunday. We have a 2 yr old and a 9 yr old and it is often difficult to find attractions that amuse them both, but Longdown Farm ticked all the boxes. I thought all the activities were very well thought out and everywhere was clean and tidy. Lunch was nice too and very reasonably priced. Sophie particularly liked collecting eggs and Paul loved the tractor ride.

What a fantastic time the children had at Longdown, celebrating Georgia's 9th birthday. The many hands on activities kept them entertained and Georgia certainly enjoyed being the boss of the farm for the day! Very many thanks to Bryan, and to the staff who were all so helpful.

We really enjoyed feeding the baby goats, milking the cows, holding the chicks, feeding the big horse polo mints, seeing the Shetland ponies, meeting Frazzle, meeting the geese,feeding ducks, the tractor ride, meeting the guinea pigs, collecting the eggs and having our lunch in the barn.

Now aged 10 they still love to visit and as a parent its a very enjoyable good value day out for all. visited others but none compare to longdown . always feels like a family run business that is proud to open its doors for our enjoyment !dont change aa thing

We visited your farm on Friday 9th April, and had the most FANTASTIC time!! 3 adults and 1 child of 18 months enjoyed the whole experience, including feeding and holding the animals and looking and stroking the other animals...and what a change not to have to spend money on lots of little things once you get inside.And the staff were so friendly......we will DEFINATELY be back!!

Sorry to hear that one of our visitors was disappointed with their visit, surley when you visit a farm with activities involving animals ALL DAY you would at least make the effort to join in! As for the over flow car park - yes it is a field, as just incase you have not noticed we have had 2" of rain during the last week. Of course we welcome your comments and are happy to display them all, not just the 'selected ones'
06/04/2010
Farmer Bryan

I was extremely disappointed with my day here - after reading all the rave reviews which are obviously selected I expected a nice day out not go for an hour and be done. If it wasn't for the soft play I would have have left after an hour but £7.25 for going to soft play is rather expensive! Will not be returning or recommending to any friends. Overpriced for not a lot and got stuck in the car park (if you can call it that - muddy field)

Just had my son's 5th birthday party at Longdown and I would thoroughly recommend it as a party venue to anyone. My son was made to feel really special, all the children had a wonderful time and were engaged the whole time they were there, even though some of them go regularly. Very impressed by friendliness and helpfulness of staff and a big Thank - you to Farmer Brian!

My daughter has just had her birthday party here and we all had a fantastic time. I was amazed how many activities we managed to fit in. Farmer Bryan made her feel very special and he was extremely entertaining. He had a lovely manner with all the kids of different ages and was great at remembering all their names. Thank you for a great party!

We have been coming to the farm for more than 10 years. We are season ticket holders and visit regularly. The staff are always helpful and friendly. Each year there are new developments that make it interesting and fun. My children love all the activities particularly the hands on animal handling and feeding. We always follow the advice that the staff and signs give us, to wash our hands after touching the animals and before eating. We have never experienced any problems and will continue to visit and enjoy the farm. It's a brilliant day out for all the family.

I have been going to Longdown since I was a little toddler. I am now 14 and still enjoy many of the activities at the farm! I've had many Birthdays there and have even done a few Farmer's Days! Every time I visit I have an enjoyable time and all the workers are so cheerful and kind. Me and my sister Emily also bought 2 guinea pigs from here about a month ago and we were amazed by how lovley they were, and such a good price! The farmers were helpful about the care we needed to give them and so far they are the best pets I've had! Thank you so much, Brian + Dawn! From Sammi xx

Hi I visited the farm on my 22nd birthday yesterday. It brought back many memories as we used to have a season ticket, probably for 4 or 5 years and my brother and I used to enjoy helping Bryan. I can remember feeding the animals and we also helped out with some "mucking out". The farm is as brilliant as ever and the extra facilities and improvements which I noticed have enhanced the experience for young children even more. Thanks.

My family came to the farm today and i can't praise it enough - we had so much to do and the children loved feeding all the animals , especially the cows...

We brought my neice here on saturday and even though the weather was poor the farm was not.Even in the rain we all had a fantastic day. The dog kennels are a great idea and i only wish more places had them. The staff were very helpful and friendly, we had a great time and recommended it to several other campers on our campsite.

We think the quality of the farm is amazing. You have just enough stuff for the family. Children love it, they so enjoyed the bottle feeding. We have recently bought some chickens off you. We think the price is fantastic. Thank you for the great day out.

I picked up my little rabbit yesterday and he is doing really well despite being the runt! He was a bit quiet at first but today is the little devil we first witnessed - I cannot express how grateful I am to Kerry and Kim! These two really know their job, (and rabbits)- Thank you both again for all your help! Far better to get a pet from here - well handled and innoculated - rather than to pick one up from a 'free to good home' card in the local newsagents! This place knows what they are doing with regards to livestock! Next stop - chicken!!

We visited on late May Bank holiday with our 4 year old granddaughter and she was enchanted. We had a wonderful time, fed calves and goats and held chicks and rabbits. Wionderfully well organised, well laid out, fantastic staff (do NOT miss the tractor ride!!) and outstanding value for money. Doubtless our 9 month old grandson will visit in due course!

My adult son - James - recently bought 2 rabbits from Longdown - although we have kept rabbits in the past the expertise and wisdom from both Kerry and Kim was fantastic - they taught me things that I didn't know! I now have a rabbit reserved for myself! Keep the good work up girls - you are an asset!!

Superb day out for all the family... Enjoyed the horse riding and tractor ride , play area is lovely. All animals so well looked after and always put first as they were not allowed to be handled in the hot weather but stroked... rabbits & piglets and got to hold the chicks! Fed the ducks and gave a bottle of milk to the kid goats and calfs. Lots of oppportunities for lovely photos. Great indoor ball pit for a bit of time out of the sun... Loved our day and well worth the visit ! Top Tip print the colouring competition out for your child and get them to complete it prior to your visit , hand it in when you arrive and they get in for free saving you £6! Enjoy the farm !

I visited the farm a couple of weeks a go, and still can't get over how wonderful it is. I'm 18, and still couldn't get over how amazing the animals were. Feeding the goats was the best part of my day! I would love to work in a place like Longdown!

I am 11 and my brother is 7 we both love it at the farm and go there alot ! even though we have been there loads of times it is still just as good as the first time we went there. We would strongly advise that you go there and children that are very young can go there and as i can see from other comments even older adults love it!!!

I know it's out of season ...but I've just looked at the farm web site; and I'm really pleased Father Christmas is coming again later this year! It was a really magical experience; the setting was lovely and a bargin as it was no extra cost ; just normaal admission price. Definately worth a visit. But let's enjoy the summer first!!

We arrived @ 11 and left at 4 I have NEVER had such a wonderful day for such reable money. The staff were so friendly and helpful they also seemed happy in their work and were just as happy to see us the public it was such a bouns to see how well looked after the animals are and due to this they are so well behaved, it was so much fun feeding them all, we found that the gift shop and snack shops did NOT exploit on the cost of things so we were also able to buy a few momentos of our visit. We will be back

Thankyou for a lovely day, my 4 year old and 2 year old came as part of little angels playgroup, and they loved it. Although the weather wasn`t great, they still enjoyed the pony, and tractor rides. The soft play was also a success as they actualy played together without any arguments. All the staff were friendly and the tractor driver was very kind helping us on and off.

Thankyou for a fabulous day out...despite the rain! You made us all feel very welcome. The children all enjoyed seeing and feeding the animals and it was especially lovely to see the nerves of a 3 year old turn to smiles as he bottle fed a kid. I overcame a lot of my fears too - holding a chick, feeding goats and pigs were all a first for me...dare I admit at 42! Thankyou again for a great day - we'll be back! From one very happy Childminder (who will be recommending Longdown to parents and minders alike)

My two children and I have been coming to Longdown every year since 1995, and are going again tomorrow to celebrate my son's 12th birthday. We never grow tired of seeing all the wonderful animals and doing the "egg collecting" and were delighted with the addition of trampolines a few years ago. Despite being 42 years old, I enjoy bouncing on the trampolines as much as the kids (despite some of the odd looks that I somtimes get from other "sensible" parents). I hope that Longdown continues to flourish over coming years & thank them for all the happy memories they've provided.

What a great day we had at Longdown farm, this was our 3rd visit since finding out about it last year for my daughters birthday treat. I recommend it to everyone, there's so much to do. My daughter loved feeding the animals and the ride on the tractor but especially she loved the rabbits and the Kid goats. Whatever the weather there's something to do and you never get bored.

At frist I wasn't sure about going to a farm and if it was going to be fun as I'm a teenager and am not in to all that stuff but I was proven wrong! I had a great time feeding the animals and going on the Go-Karts with my Gran :) I also loved the Ice-Cream (lol) Thank you for a really fun day :D

I would like to say a very big thank you to Farmer Bryan and his staff for making my daughter Sarah's 7th birthday on Sunday, 5th April such an enjoyable time. She said it was the best party she has been to! All her friends had a great time. Everyone enjoyed handling the animals, tractor ride, feeding the lambs and calves etc. We will definitely be visiting again a few times over the summer. Thanks again. Mandy and Sarah

I discovered longdown many years ago and loved it.Today my 13 year old and 3 of her friends asked me to take them to your venue(i was delighted as i thought they would have grown out of this activity)I was glad to see that you are still offering excellent value for money and a wonderful friendly service that has still has that small local feel..... guys keep doing what you do so well at family friendly prices... also love your farm shop,chicken is exellent. I would like the shop to open later and more plants please.

We visited Longdown on Saturday 20th December and what a totally fantastic day. My 4 yr old daughter had so much fun feeding all the animals and really enjoyed hunting for eggs from the chickens, alas we were not in time to find one that had laid!!! The santas grotto was amazing and santa was fantastic, he really took the time to talk to my daughter rather than putting a present in her hand and sending her on her way!!! Well done all at Longdown you made our day truly special!!!! Happy Christmas!!!

What a great day out, My wife and I have just got back from taking our 3 and 4 year old boys today. The site is nicely spaced out for smaller children and the first day out I can think of with no tears (well until home time at least - The boys really didn't want to leave!) Thank you to Brian and all the staff for providing such "real" hands on and wonderful place to visit. We will be going back. P.S. Very well priced.

11th september 2008 Me and my fiance Jim had a great time today, finding the eggs was the best bit of my day! We found the eggs and bought them and took them home and ate them, the animals were great. Smelly but very great. We also went to the farm shop and got some burgers and Jim loved them, he just had them for dinner. So much better than something from a supermarket, we loved it SO much that we are coming back tomorrow! We also bought 3 hens for our garden two weeks ago and they have already started laying, We think we will come back atleast once a week.. =) Everyone was friendly and was a great cheap day out!! Thanks guys!!:D

i love it! my mum and stepdad took me, and my two brothers, aged 3 & 5. it was a lovely day,and we all fed the calves and goats. i held a little 4 week old rabbit, which was really sweet. its good that people are allowed to be so involved with the animals, feeding them and holding them. me and my brothers went on the trampolines and they were really fun. i want to go back again soon!!(even though i am 14 years old!!!)

This has to be, without a doubt the best farm we have visited 'ever'. The children could get hands on with the animals which was fantastic! We fed the calves and kid goats bottled milk. We fed the pigs, handled rabbits and chicks. Went on a tractor ride, played in the indoor and outdoor play area, visited the shops, and did much more..... my daughter enjoyed it so much she cried when we had to go home.... We will def be back again. Thankyou Longdown for a fabulous Day out.

I really enjoyed Longdown Activity farm because the rabbits were so cute and cuddly. I went with my friends, Phoebe, Grace and Georgie to the rabbit and guinea pig centre, and Brian gave us all a bucket with hay in it. I chose the black and brown one rabbit, there were also two other brown ones and two white ones. I called mine Blackjack because it was so darkly coloured. We had to take the bunnies to the rest of the class so they could hold them too. Sadly we couldn't take them home with us! Emelia Brown

Emelia Brown

My favourite activity at Longdown Activity Farm was when we got hold of baby chicks. They felt fluffy and soft. Toby's chick got very angry and started pecking him with his beak but Brian told us this was because he was probably holding it too tightly. My chick was calm all the time and after five minutes fell asleep. I then returned the chick very quietly to its pen. I loved the day! Sebastian.

On Thursday we visited Longdown Activity Farm. We had a great day. My favourite part of the day was when we got to go and see the piglets. Brain our tour guide put a piglet in a bucket. Sophia and Georgie got to take the piglet around for us to stroke. The piglet must have got scared as he made an escape from the bucket and ran off. Sophia was quick to catch him.

My favourite part of longdown activity farm was when Emilia and I went inside the chicken house with 221 chickens in it!!!! We were taught how to catch, hold and even put them to sleep! The chickens kept pecking my shoes and one even made my thumb bleed

we came for the first time to your farm on monday 10th march, the worst day for wind and rain i think we could have chosen, but we had a fantastic day it was very quiet so i felt safe that my 2 yr old daughter could roam free (within sight) she enjoyed feeding the animals, the ducks were her favourite being so young, she was in her element, she loved the hay barn and the indoor soft play, the whole day was great the girls doing the feeding and animal holding were very friendly and great with my little girl, the lady in the shop was fantastic and i bought a beautiful hand made noahs ark plaque for my baby sons bedroon its beautiful, thank you also to the man in the farm shop, you were all so welcoming and we couldnt have picked a better place to come on such a miserable day, it was a wonderful day for us and we will definately be back again soon probably after easter when my husband comes back from his deployment, we are having the barramundi tonight so i will email and let you know how it goes with them. many thanks to you all it really was a fab day.xx
