We did the alpaca experience today and it was excellent. It was well organised and well led and our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. Very covid secure. I would... read more recommend the experience to anybody. Can't wait to come back. Thanks for a lovely day.

Had a fantastic afternoon here. Such lovely animals and learnt so much interesting facts about these quirky animals. Would highly recommend booking this experience. Staff obviously love them and each... read more Alpaca has a name how they remember them I don't know! We'll be back to book the Shepherds hut next year.

Arrived to be greeted by friendly staff. We got a bit of a "scary" welcome talk (be aware the alpacas spit, kick , do not like being touched etc) then... read more got an alpaca each. The alpacas seemed quite reluctant to come out of their field. Some of them were quite frisky but thankfully didn't kick or bite anyone throughout.
The experience itself was quite disappointing, we were expecting a good 45 minute gentle walk along the river, as this is how the experience listing made it sound. However, what you get is infact is a "walk" around a large field near a river and the road. We took a very, very, VERY slow walk around the field allowing the alpacas to literally stuff themselves full of grass, whilst the guide told us everything he knew about alpacas (this is got really quite tedious after a while, we weren't the only ones in the group to mention this).
Once we finally got back to the yard and alpacas put back in their little field, we got to feed another field full of alpacas some carrots. Which I guess was OK, bit more enjoyable than the walk. The carrots got scoffed in minutes so this didn't last too long.
Then we all washed our hands and got ushered into a outdoor area to do a quiz about the alpacas and "tested" on what we had been told by the guide on the "walk"... which was a bit of a strange thing to do in my opinion, wasn't very enjoyable but at least it was a sit down.
Lastly there was a little shop, inside a very small garden shed, selling things made from alpaca wool and other alpaca related items, even some items made from their own alpacas wool which was lovely. Unfortunately the items were quite expensive, but apparently this is because alpacas can only be sheered once a year (I learned that from the quiz -haha!).
Over all the alpacas look well looked after, staff are friendly and very knowledgeable, but the experience really could be a whole lot better and certainly the walk could of been better rather than just going around a field!
I pretty much feel we have just paid a load of money to drag an alpaca to a patch of grass in a field to have its dinner, not really how the experience was described and quite misleading. Disappointing and wouldn't rush back.
