"It is hard to find words to describe the experience of staying here. It is incredible. The rooms are big, warm, and comfy beds . The owners, Amanda and John, are great hosts, food is hot and lots of it. and very tasty. Horsesand ponies are everywhere, and to see the incredible work they all do here ..."for the disabled just has to be seen to be believed. It is an amazing place with ducks, geese, pigs, sheep (which get driven in harness like the ponies) . The walks and views are beautiful. If horses are not your thing, there are some great car rides out, with John and Amanda giving you lots of places to visit. You will def want to come back again and again. We have already booked our next trip and will be bringing our own pony with us. If you get a chance, book a pony drive experience with one of the incredble staff, you will be well and truly hooked and, like us, clammering for more more more.

"I would make the trip to the area just for this attraction!
I went with my fiance here and we did the 1/2 activity day and it was amazing - as its a small center it was just the two of use and a great personal experience - we both had plenty of time with the birds. With some bigger facilities th..."ey take large groups and you don't really get that much time individually calling the birds, etc, but this was amazing.
We started out going on a 'Hawk Walk' - we each got a Harris hawk and took them out and they followed us from tree to tree, landing on our hands when we were given food. When we got back to the center we both got another bird, my partner got the peregrine falcon and i got something similar (can't remember its name!) and we fed them on our hands. After this the guide got out the great grey owl, Molly, who was beautiful, and we flew her in the garden, with her flying to and from us to get food.
Throughout the day the guide was giving us great information, that was so i...

"We went here last week, it was a birthday surprise.
From the moment we arrived to the time we left, we were made to feel really welcome by Gary, who welcomed us into his home like we were friends. Set against a beautiful flowing river, it was an idyllic location to spend time with some beautiful ..."birds (no joke intended).
It was just myself and my wife, so we got lots of time with the birds, our favourite being Bungle the Batleur Eagle. We also learnt a lot from Gary and were able to ask lots of questions as we weren't in a big group.
A really memorable and fun day out. Would highly recommend this to anyone interested in birds or even those who aren't, my wife never got the bird of prey thing, but she enjoyed it as much if not more than I did.
