Holmeleigh Farmyard

Reviewed By Duranja - Oslo, Norway

Brought a whole bunch of children to Holmeleigh Farmyard as a day out. Great service from the booking stage to the morning at Holmeleigh. The children loved it and us adults enjoyed it as well. Saw a lot of different farm animals and the kids got to feed most of them. They also enjoyed a tractor ride and they have a wonderful playground where the children spent a lot of time after lunch. We could hardly get them to leave when our transport arrived. We had ordered a hotdog, chips and juice lunch for the children and coffee/tea and cake for the adults. Do you know - coffee and cake meant we could choose from a lot of different cakes and toasties?! For not very mucc!!! Incredible! The little shop was also very nice and I ended up buying a couple of things of course. A wonderful time was had by all and will be remembered. I will certainly keep Holmeleligh Farmyard on my list of outings for the future as well. :-)
