Come and Join us here in Otterbourne Hampshire, when the weather is good we like to be outside trekking or walking Alpacas. This allows you the general public to come and get up close to these beautiful animals, hear them hum to each other, feel how soft their fleece is and look into their big brown eyes! It also serves us a purpose as we get them used to people and being handled on the halters,

Visited henstings this a.m. for my bday gift experience, & it was truly amazing! I enjoyed all aspects off the keepers role, as well as the nice bits included. I got to bottle feed a baby alpaca, handfeed older ones, plus llamas, and take many photos of my lovely morning. I walked pearl, and learned so much about these lovely animals. My day was made so much nicer by the lovely staff who are all so nice. A special mention to katrina who made my morning as an 'apprentice' fun, and i will definately come back again soon. Xx

This place should also be known as "The Best kept secret in Winchester!" The food and the staff are all outstanding. Victoria was awesome!! She was attentive, polite and professional throughout. We ordered a coffee and a panini for lunch which was made fresh and just as I ordered it. Afterwards we enjoyed one of the extensive selection of cakes which was excellent. All staff were very good with keeping ‘covid compliant’ throughout. We didn’t use the craft shop which adjoins the cafe however I did have a look and was very impressed with what I saw. The children looked like they were having a great time and next time I’m in town, I will be bring them here to enjoy making some of the crafts in the run up to Christmas. I would definitely recommend coming here. We went to the BellaCrafts in Winchester but couldn't find it on Trip Advisor so have posted it on the Fair Oak site.

We were meeting up with my son and his friend to go on a cruise, so 4 adults and lots of luggage! I contacted Galaxy cars for a quote for our trip from Eastleigh to the cruise terminal in Southampton and returning a week later. The price quoted was fantastic so we booked. On our departure day our transport arrived spot on time, all our luggage (yes lots) was carefully loaded on board by our driver. Nice journey down to the terminal all unloaded by the driver too, then taken off by a porter! On our return we were greeted by our transport back waiting for us, same as before wonderful to get this service. We would highly recommend this firm they are on time, courteous and so helpful. We will definitely use again.

A fun day out for the entire family at this outdoor park that boasts a visitor's center, plenty of walking trails, children play areas and special events.
Reviewed By mattsZ3985XZ - Southampton, United Kingdom
Itchen valley is one of my Favs. The walks are nice and numerous, lots of Different parks and play trails to follow and the paths are well kept. Parking can be difficult on nice days but that's like anywhere. My negatives would be that the queue for the Cafe is always so long that I've never actually purchased anything, they would be better installing a coffee machine for takeaway. Also go ape is here and that's great fun.
