Was a lovely place to camp right next to a sheep field and donkeys. Food in the cafe was great and I love that they sell there own produce etc. Only bad thing I have to say is I heard/saw multiple sheep/lambs coughing, I know all animals get ill just like us. They could just have a sheep cold but I do have a concern when young children are petting animals that are essentially unwell. More...

One of the best days out we have had. Not crazy expensive, even the cafe/gift shop/ice cream was all decently priced. Having all the activity options for a very active toddler was awesome! I loved how the park, trampolines, moon bounce, sand pit and cars were all in the same area. Really is a worth while trip! We struggle with eating out as my son has allergies, the staff were very helpful and even had an allergy book that I could look through to pick his own food out for him! Vegan ice cream was also available. More...

We visited for our sons birthday. Booked the younger ones into the play centre, had some lunch, and then did the 2-hour farmer experience! WOW! This was amazing. We bottle fed lambs and calfs, and we got to hold baby bunnies. Hand fed the meerkats! What an experience! We brushed the pony's and walked them around the farm too. Ruby was our farm guide, and she was fantastic with the kids and explaining how the farm worked as we made our way round and telling us about all the animals they have. It's definitely worth the visit. The one and only complaint I have is my milkshake we got at the end wasn't cold, but literally that's it, everything else was fantastic, lots of play area's for the kids, picnic area, feed the animals carrots on your way round (50p a box) well worth it. All the staff were friendly and helpful but the lady who signed us in was lovely and even came to ask us how everything had gone at the end and Ruby, these ladies are a credit to the farm and team of staff!

Farm side was great for the kids and loved feeding the calfs and lambs. The cafe I wasn't impressed with. Spent 4.20 on a child's pack up box which consisted of sandwhich,Seabrook crisps,full apple and a mini roll . we asked the lady if it was possible to change the crisps to something softer as my little girl wouldn't be able to mangage these or a full apple to be told no so all in all pretty expensive pack up for a jam sandwhich and mini roll.

We stayed roughly an hour. We went with the kids and had nice time feeding the animals. Kids playing areas are nice. A lot of hand washing points, but its a way overpriced for what it is. They charge £8pp, adults as well. It would be fair if the adults could use the slides too :D We got some overpriced icecream. One of the flavours was nice, but the banana flavour was inedible. Powdery taste as if it was mixed with sand. Made me caugh More...

Great budget farm that lets you get close to goats, sheep, donkeys etc! It is very much a working farm with access to visitors, but for the price you can't go wrong!!

What a place. Not expensive. Lots of fun for the kids and the food was brilliant. The kids got to hand feed the lambs and that was included in the entry fee.

Absolutely fantastic day out. Proper local working farm. Such an amazing hands-on experience for the kids and adults. Mine are older now but still love every minute. Happy, healthy, well kept variety of animals. Feed the animals, bottle feed the lambs and calves, tractors rides, play equipment, cafe and fab butchers to take something home for tea. Lucky to have this right on our doorstep. More...

Very fond of this place. I have been bringing my children here since 2019 and made some unforgettable memories. Far far better than other open farms in Yorkshire. The kids can get up close to the farm animals, feeding etc. There is plenty for them to do. Lots of spaced out indoor and outdoor play areas rather than all in one place which I like including a new sand play area which looks like great fun in the summertime. I find the pricing reasonable to say some of the other open farms are almost £50 for a small family. Would definitely rather spend my money here. Can't wait to visit again ! More...

Good day out. Loads of animals to walk round and feed. Play barn looks a bit tired and in need of some investment. Cafe has decent, well priced food serving the usual sort of stuff you'd expect. Animals seem to be well looked after. More...

My friend and I went to the farm on Sunday thinking it would be fun to do something different and go look at some animals. When we arrived we purchased a box of carrots for 50p so that we could feed the animals. We didn’t expect the farm to have so many different animals and be so interactive. We had the best day feeding and stroking the animals. They all have such different personalities that really shine through. What an amazing day. As I said, it was just me and a friend but I will definitely be going again with my youngest brother as there was so much to do for kids as well. The farm really has covered all the bases in terms of entertainment. I will definitely be going back and taking as many friends as I can! Everyone should get to experience Swithens Farm. More...

We took our reception class to visit the farm today and it was a wonderful experience for all of us. We were given a very warm welcome by farmers Lisa and Adrian and shown around. The little ones loved every minute of it, feeding carrots to the animals, milk to the lambs, walking around the farm and then being given a tractor ride by Farmer Gary. The staff were amazing with the children. A great place for an interactive school trip, one we want to repeat in future. Thank you for this experience. Abeda Faruki Paradise Early Years More...

With an excited toddler this can't be anything but 5*. Under 3s being free is great and so for £8 get a great morning out feeding the animals with carrots, hand feeding lambs and enjoying all the play areas Yes some parts are a little dated but what's nice is there's none of the money grabbing for extras when you're there. The cafe is reasonably priced (or being a packed lunch, they have a play area) and I think most places would charge extra for the lamb feeding. Can't wait to come back! More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love working with dogs and getting them to achieve their fullest potential doing things that they love to do.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have been working with dogs for years on a personal basis and had so many people asking "How do you get your dog to do that?" that I decided to see if I could combine my absolute love of dogs with my ability to have a job that enabled me to work with the dogs I love.
