Cotswold Farm Park

Excellent Christmas experience! There was lots of choice for the teddy bear workshop and the finished soft toys are lovely quality. There were also lots of toys to choose from after the Father Christmas visit, some branded items too. Father Christmas himself was soft spoken and approachable, I was really impressed with how magical it was to see him with the kids. The photos taken of the visit were expensive to purchase, but the staff did allow us to take our own pictures too. Another section of the park had a big snowglobe for photo opportunities but this was an extra charge with no option to take your own pictures there. The goats were all very well mannered and happy to get some food from us! Human food was really tasty, though expensive. That’s to be expected though. We stayed in a highland lodge and it was lovely and cosy! Everything was well maintained not just at the accommodation but across the entire park. With the time it takes for the hot tub to get warm it did mean that we didn’t get to use it unfortunately.

We’ve been frequent visitors to the farm park for 8 years with our 3 children. Every year it gets better. The farm clearly invests its profits into genuine improvements on a regular basis. If you have small children age 0-6 it’s well worth a visit and if you’re local the membership is worth the cost. Yesterday we did the Christmas experience and it was brilliant. It felt punchy price wise when booking but it was worth every penny. My daughter (5) said it was the best day of her life.

I’m sorry but we have been regular visitors to the Christmas experience for a number of years. This year was absolutely dreadful. No light trail, no food vendors, no animals available. Only food available was in the restaurant however can only order via the app but the area is notorious for no phone signal. No animals but happy to upsell you animal food at entry and not tell you and wouldn’t refund. Couldn’t take food order at the bar plus 40 minute wait for food. Place was so quiet the weekend before Christmas, no atmosphere. Absolute rip off and complete waste of money. £96 for 1 child 2 adults. Disgraceful

One of the best farms I have visited so far. Clean facilities with lots of fun activities for kids so perfect for families with young kids. A lot of rare breeds to see, kids were able to feed the lambs and stroke rabbits and little chicks a fun day out for the families. Plenty of parking, hand washing facilities and toilets. Also, the tractor ride is great, it runs once every hour (3pm last ride) and a pound each person including kids however only allowed 28 each ride so get there early for this.

We visited Cotswold Farm park last Christmas and wanted to provide a review for anyone considering booking this year. We had a number of things that were disappointing, but the main one was the santa experience... The worst part was though that you had several santa huts on the go at once and no attempt was made to mask this from the kids. So my 6 year old daughter is immediately asking questions 'is this the real santa?', 'how come those kids are coming out at the same time?'. You could literally hear the santa in the next hut along while heading into our own one. That was by far and away your biggest issue, but outside of that there were loads of other disappointments. - The Santa himself looked great, but he wasn't very jolly and conversation was very strained. - Most of your stalls were closed, but still had signs up, e.g. 'Smores' cue my daughter getting excited about the prospect of smores, but then we are told the fires aren't going so we can still buy one but can't toast one?? All other food stalls were also closed but still had signs out telling us what we were missing out on - The bouncy pillow for under 5s was closed so our youngest had to miss out - Most (atleast half) of the pedal tractors by the barns weren't working - The reindeer food station wasn't up and running when we first arrived The experience was really disappointing, and not worth the money - we spent around £200 for the 4 hours we were there. £140 for the tickets, £40 for a couple of burgers and some pasta, £10 for photo with Santa (which in itself is extortionate). We had high expectations for the day, and it had all the issues above, plus it generally just lacked any 'magical atmosphere'. We have done a number of these sorts of events previously - none of which were as expensive as yours, we have been to Attwell Farm Park and National Adventure Farm, and they set our expectations much higher than what we experienced at Cotswold Farm Park. Furthermore I emailed several times with the above concerns but got no response.

This year was the 3rd time we have been for the Christmas experience and to be honest, very disappointed for the amount of money it costs. Santa experience was less than 5 minutes, though we completed the questionnaire to make it personal. The santa didn't even cover half of it, I even paid for the baby santa experience for my little one. The santa made no acknowledgement towards him, so that was a waste of my money. The one thing that I will say the Jingle Village and teddy bear factor was amazing, only reason I am giving 3 stars otherwise would be 1. Certainly won't be going back next year, extremely disappointed as the past 2 years experience have been brilliant and something we have looked forward too every Christmas.

Great family adventure! The farm is admirably well-kept, and the animals look happy. The snacks you can buy to hand-feed the animals are a good value, as it seems these animals aren't even somewhat close to being fed up with it. We loved getting to know rare breeds. And yes, the trampolines made the kids ecstatic as well! Highly recommended.

An enjoyable visit. Lovely food and coffee. Nice gift shop. Great interaction with animals who looked well looked after. Good hand washing facilities and a nice smile from Adam Henson!

I was really looking forward to this attraction and it didn't disappoint. Plan to spend a few hours here and if possible, arrive hungry because they have a great restaurant and coffee cafe on site. Not to mention a fun gift shop that features brilliant children's toys, clothing and local artisan food treats like cheese, baked goods and snacks. There were so many things I loved about this stop. From interacting with the goats, sheep, cows, baby piglets (four days old!) to learning about the heritage breeds and surrounding countryside, this farm is full of educational opportunities and spots for kiddos to stretch their legs throughout. I especially appreciated the indoor sandbox , soft climbing space and interactive chick display. Several of the animals could also be found inside for up close experiences like rabbits, goats, and calves. The inner farm girl in me was soaking in every minute of the experience. Expect to pay around 15 pounds per adult for your visit. Note that they also have rustic (teepee/camping) accommodations available on site.

We stayed in the Cotswolds for 4 days, and we needed stuff to entertain our 4 year old. We saw a brochure for this place in our hotel, and it looked promising. The only problem was that we had not rented a car, and public tranportation didn't run out that way, so we had to take a taxi. No big deal. The man was very nice and promised to come back and pick us up at 5pm, when the park closed. This place is owned by a local TV celebrity (although of course we didn't know who he was). The park is all about conservation of rare breeds of animals and farming. For Americans, this place is kind of like a big pumpkin patch (that you visit in the fall), but without the pumpkins. There are little rides for the children, lots of animals, and even a corn maze. There's also a gift shop.

I took my fiance to the Cotswolds Farm Park as he is a fan of Adam Henson's slot on Countryfile. The farm is very interactive, you can buy feed for the animals, hold baby chicks and ducks and meet the piglets. We don't have any children, but I imagine that the children that were there would have loved it. There is a rare breeds walk, a conservation area and a demonstration barn where you can watch cows being milked, sheep being sheared etc depending on the time of year. There is also a reasonably priced cafe and a shop.

A must place to visit with or without kids. We go every year sometimes more as they run various events throughout the year (lambing season is the best). A great variety of animals plus other things to do like tractor rides, ride your own tractor, jump on the massive inflatable pillow which is surrounded by a huge sandpit, plenty of areas for a picnic, lovely cafe and all this surrounded by beautiful views of the Cotswolds - what more could you ask for.

Established in 1971, Britain's first ever farm park can be described as a pageant of history on four legs. On display is an unrivalled collection of rare breeds of British farm animals including sheep, cattle, pigs, goats, horses, poultry and waterfowl. One of our Witney team's best family days out in the area.

I took my sister's two little ones to this attraction and we had a great day. The kids loved it and I was really impressed with the facilites the cafe, the car parking, you name it and they've got it right. Lots of shelter on a bad weather day (and it was chilly when we went). The animals were lovely and the staff friendly and helpful. Five well deserved stars from me!
