⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Highland Cow Experience for Our Anniversary! We visited Hogshaw Farm & Wildlife for our anniversary and had booked the Highland Cow Experience. From start to finish, it was absolutely fantastic and exceeded all our expectations. Meeting Ness, Orla, Bonnie and Agnes was such a memorable experience. They're beautiful animals with so much character, and getting up close to them was truly special. We were incredibly lucky to have the experience all to ourselves, which made it feel even more personal and relaxed. A huge thank you goes to Harry, our guide, whose passion, knowledge and enthusiasm really made the experience exceptional. He took the time to teach us all the tricks for getting the most out of our interaction with the cows, shared fascinating insights about them, and made us feel completely at ease throughout. It was clear how much he cares about the animals and the visitor experience. The whole visit was well organised, informative and great fun. It was a wonderful way to celebrate our anniversary and created memories we'll be talking about for a long time. Thank you, Hogshaw Farm & Wildlife, for such a brilliant day. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something unique, engaging and genuinely special. We'll definitely be back!🐮❤️
We’ve been to Hogshaw farm a couple of times and it’s a really lovely day out.
Great day out with our 3 year olds. They loved all the Halloween activities and animal encounters
Staff were great and lots of activities. I look forward to coming back again.
Probably picked one of the worst days of the summer, weather wise, but with the appropriate clothing, available hard standing paths and undercover entertainment it was a great afternoon to keep our two grandchildren (and son and daughter in law) amused, with a great selection of animals, birds and activities.. Spaciously set out and well maintained.
Me and my wife visited today for the first time. We thought the place was really lovely. There are a lovely variety of animals and a beautiful children's play area. Special mention to Catherine for the deer and bird events, she was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food whilst pleasant enough, is not the cheapest it must be said, however there do appear to be plenty of seating areas where people could sit and eat a packed lunch.The only thing we would say was a bit of a negative was an over zealous team member (volunteer we think) who approached rapidly on a buggy and questioned us in a bit of accusatory manner within the first 5 minutes of us entering over some litter that had been left there. The litter was not ours, we had only just come in and had brought no food or drink with us and whilst we don't condone littering anymore than this young lady does, her approach left a lot to be desired. Overall it is lovely place that we would definitely recommend to others and we also think has the potential to be somewhere that could successfully be visited by those with significant additional needs also.
We go to Hogshaw regularly as we have our yearly pass. Highly recommend for a great day out. So much for the kids to do!
Great venue, animals all well kept and cared for, tasty cake and helpful pleasant staff.😊 Many thanks Sue and Dave White Brittany, France
