Having two granddaughters who are animal mad, I took them to the farm. Lovely walking routes take you through the various areas beside the river. They were enamoured of the calves and sheep but especially liked the animals they could feed, the donkeys, goats etc. Plenty of interesting information about the animals and places to wash hands.

Allow enough time to explore the gardens and the garden centre as well as the delightful menu at this beautiful oasis in the forest. Family run business - the food is really lovely and just a little bit different. Relaxed atmosphere, cant beat it when the suns out!!!

I’ve been wanting to visit for a while and persuaded my husband to try it. The ordering was very organised and felt safe. A bit of a queue for ordering but our food was hot and very good. Lots of animals for the kids to look at and a play centre. The Icecream looked good and there were plenty of people trying it. Great for families.

We arrived at the adjoining hostel on the eve of the farm re-opening post-Lockdown. What a fantastic experience for my two grandchildren, watching the goats on goat mountain, the pig racing, and feeding the many varied animals - everything from tiny baby rabbits to huge pigs, with peacocks and peahens roaming freely. Even on the Thursday when there was rain and thunderstorms, the kids loved seeing all the animals again. The staff were very kind and accommodating, and happy to help wherever they could. The food is top notch, using farm-sourced produce. The packed lunch for the kids is great value (especially if you have indecisive youngsters!). A definite recommendation for anyone visiting the Salisbury/Stonehenge area.

A great family day out come rain or shine! Meet & feed the animals in Pets Corner. Hop on a tractor ride to explore the farm. Sit and relax with a cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake from the tearoom, while the children run off steam in the heated indoor play barn or outdoor adventure play. There's lots to do whatever the weather! Twice daily toddler time sessions every weekday in term time, include bubbles, stories & games for the little ones. During school holidays there is a year round calendar of themed activities & special events to keep you busy all day. So go and enjoy some 'Hands on Farm Fun & Adventures' with the help of the Roves Farm team.

I have come here several times in the last years for strawberry picking. This year was the first time we came for the pumpkin picking and I was so impressed how lovely it was all set up and organised. So much better than other (and more expensive) places I have been to in previous years. We had a great afternoon and the play area was open again which was a bonus.

Studley Grange is home to a beautiful tropical house full of exotic butterflies, a small zoo and a small working farm. There is a softplay centre situated in a small village of retail and craft shops. With a restaurant and a cafe you have a bigger choice of food to choose from. This is all situated within a large independent garden centre and we can't forget your pets with a large pet shop and groomers on site Pet Shed will cater for all your pets needs.

We have just returned from 2 nights woodland camping at the bison farm and loved it !!! With 4 adults and 5 young children aged 7 and under the pitch was plenty big enough. The site has an area for a camp fire (bags of wood supplied at £6 a bag) was more than enough to last us the 2 nights. Ladies & gents toilet block with showers ( 2 x £1 coins to release the shower door ) Sinks outside the toilet block with both hot and cold water to wash pots and pans and for drinking water. Baby changing available. Toilets and showers were cleaned daily by the lady that runs the farm , and detol and a cloth and mop was available to clean after individual use. Toilet roll was regularly replaced also. Little onsite gift shop/shop that sells sweets, crisp, icecreams , drinks, meat (bison & elk) and milk etc. Card payment was available. The owners of the farm live onsite (opposite the shop) so were always around and more than happy to help , they also allowed us to store a few bits in the fridges and freeze our ice blocks. There was plenty of room for the children to ride push bikes and play. There's a little play park , and sand pit for the younger ones. We enjoyed the farm walk and seeing the lake and animals: Bison , Elk , Chickens , Turkey , Owls , Ponies, Donkey, Ducks & Goats. We also went Slow berrie picking (to make gin when we get home) and enjoyed a picnic in one of the lovely gardens! If camping in a tents not for you then the farm also have lovely pods available to stay in. Cant think of any negatives , absolutely lovely stay! Thankyou
