Foxholes Farm Shop & Butchery

We came here during lambing season and had a great time. We held a chick, stroked a lamb, fed goats, and saw a lamb being born. It’s a small farm which was great for us with a baby, but I would say don’t expect to see lots of animals. There’s a nice open space with some lovely play areas, and overall the farm wasn’t busy, so it was a calm and relaxed atmosphere. The staff were all really friendly too.

Lovely little farm with a range of animals including cows, pigs, donkeys, alpacas, goats and sheep. Farm has a cafe on site and also a burger van so plenty of food options available. The farm shop is particularly good, with a range of fresh fruit and vegetables, a good sized frozen section including plastic free pastries, and even a traditional butchers counter with very knowledgeable butchers. The local honey they have on sale, produced in Hertfordshire, was particularly delicious.

Everything is hard, awkward to climb for young kids in the Play barn £20 in total for our daughter and 2 parents... could be in and out in 15 minutes. Needs more SOFT!!!! Not buying coffee since no deal for parents who pay to simply sit. Any other place, like John Warner, we pay £3.65 for our daughter, it already id much better as we can be there for an hours worth of enjoyment... all day if we wanted. Maybe the animals will make up for it.

We visited with high expectations but unfortunately left feeling disappointed. In my opinion, it simply wasn't worth the admission price, especially as adults pay almost the same as children. The toilet facilities are located outside and were very dirty during our visit, which wasn't pleasant. If you're visiting on a wet day, this makes the experience even less enjoyable. The play area is quite limited, consisting mainly of a few climbing platforms across three sections. While there is a large open field, there isn't much else to keep children entertained for very long. The biggest disappointment was the animal welfare. The pigs appeared to be in very poor condition compared to those I've seen at other farm attractions, which was upsetting to see. There are only a small number of chickens and goats, so the overall animal offering is quite limited. Having visited many similar attractions, I was genuinely surprised by how poor the overall experience was. There are far better family venues available that offer much better value for money.

We went for my son's first birthday and was not disappointed. Firstly the farm shop was brilliant. Very clean and very big, much bigger then it looks from outside, they sell lots of fresh produce here, meat, Jam, eggs, everything. And tasty hot coffee too. My family and I got a couple coffees then sat down and fed my son using the sites high chairs (which where lovely and clean) then we headed into the farm. With two bags of feed we saw rabbits, goats, sheep, donkeys, ducks and chickens. Really great farm for little ones. We did go when it was raining (poor planning by us) but didn't stop us. Had a lovely couple hours out. There are toilets and baby changing facilities on site. And plenty tables for lunch. Recommended everyone goes, especially if you have young kids. We will definitely be going back, not only to see the animals again but also to buy some of that tasty meat I spotted in the shop.

Friendly staff, excellent in the play area inside (looks quite new), food is lovely but limited when they run out tho, very clean in the seating area. But I wouldn't visit on a hot day as there isn't any shading areas at the play area outside. Only a few ride on tractors are available as most are broke. Sandpit could be abit bigger as you can only have a few children in there.

My kids really enjoyed the play area here and feeding the goats. It was very clean as its new and you get to walk around and see the animals i deffinatly will be returning. The inside play area is a little tricky for kids in between ages as my 4 year old was abit big for the smaller childrens play section but then to small to climb up on the older kids climbing frame 🙈 but we still enjoyed it and it does depend on the childs climbing abilities 🙏
