The Alpaca Centre at JandJ Alpacas

A lovely place, and very welcoming. This was a little £5 voucher/birthday gift for a couple of friends to ' meet & greet' the alpacas. Brilliant value. We learnt a huge amount about them, got to know a few names, characters and did lots of feeding them. All managed perfectly, and well organized. Then, of course, a birthday treat lunch. Again, all clean and well organized, with delicious 'lunch' type meals. The cakes looked fabulous although none of us tried them.
All in all a really great 2/3 hours .. and we avoided the rain by only minutes !!!
Not a huge cafe, although there are outside tables and chairs, you might want to allow a few minutes for a table to come free at busier times. Ample car parking.

Had a brilliant day, it was a pre wedding day out for my niece, easy to book online, easy website to use, lots of options from just sitting in the cafe or outside sitting area watching the alpacas to experiences meet and greet or trekking experience. We did the Trekking Experience, great value, given an introduction about alpacas, then given our individual alpaca, out and about with the alpacas for approximately an hour and half, during the walk information given about alpacas and stopped to feed them half way through the walk. plenty of time for photographs before and after.
We then had afternoon tea ( has to be pre booked 24 hours before), the staff had decorated the table, banners etc to make it special. All the staff excellent.
Highly recommend, had a great day.

We did a little wander up to the wooded area at the top of the farm, this took about five minutes, but on the way back we managed to attract a few of the alpacas to us, so we spent about 30 minutes doing selfies with the animals and feeding them some grass. Two teenage girls and 5heir mums were having a great time- then after a change of boots and a hand wash we had afternoon tea in the cafe, just in time to watch the girls in the field next to the cafe get their dinner ; again hilarious.
We will return with other friends, it was lovely

We booked for four of us to feed the Alpacas and wander around the paddocks etc, we were greeted by Olivia, who obviously loves her job and was more than happy to answer all of our questions, she is a real credit to the owners.

Don't be too worried about the spitting as they only tend to spit at each other and you may get caught in the crossfire and it is not that bad. we finished the visit off in the onsite Cafe, great snacks and cake and a selection of hot and cold drinks at very reasonable prices.

We will be back.

This is our third visit to the J&J Alpaca Centre and each time we've learnt something new about these cute fury creatures from the very knowledgable and informative guide Lucy. It's a delight to visit the centre as it's very clean, the animals are extremely well looked after and obviously well loved - there's a definite pride amongst the staff! Would highly recommend either for children or animal loving adults. The food in the cafe is lovely and the outside seating area gives you a great view of the paddock.

I’ve been several times now and it’s definitely in my top 3 favourite places to visit locally to me. It’s so peaceful I could spend hours watching the alpacas, I highly recommend visiting during the summer months to see the baby alpacas! I’ve done a “meet and greet” experience too, well worth the money the staff really do know their stuff! The coffee shop do amazing biscuit and sell some lovely gifts. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something a little bit different ❤️

We went for the alpaca walking experience which was amazing value for money at £25 each. We were all perfectly matched with the alpacas and taken on a hour long walk by the lovely Jess and Jack. Throughout the walk we were given lots of information about alpacas and about the farm and had the opportunity to feed the alpacas. All of them were so sweet with their own personalities which we got to learn about, and if we were struggling with our alpaca pulling or being too interested in food (or the ladies!), we got help straight away from one of the volunteers on how to keep our alpaca moving (eg moving to the front of the herd). They took plenty of pictures of everyone which are posted on their Facebook a week later. We also got free entry to look around the alpacas afterwards and see the new llamas too. The cafe was really great too with amazing cake - we even got to watch the babies and mums being fed out the window. I’ll definitely be returning at some point and have been telling everyone I know how much I enjoyed the day.

I received a £20 voucher for my birthday for this wonderful place that we've been meaning to visit for so long! Was pleased to find that we (2 adults and 1 child) could do both the woodland walk and the meet and greet experience for £22 so great value! The meet and greet was by far the best bit, 20 minutes felt like just the right amount of time to get up close to the alpacas who clearly have such great characters. Shout out to Jess who lead our experience who was very friendly and knowledgeable (give that lady a brownie)! Speaking of brownies, whilst we didn't stay for refreshments there was a huge selection of treats on offer and I spied some nice looking vegan cakes which I will definitely try when we come back, no doubt it will be soon! Thanks again!

We did meet and greet in case children didn’t like being up close to alpacas, they loved it !! The staff we’re fabulous, friendly and informative both with health and safety brief and alpaca knowledge. We will be returning to do the trekking experience with the children.

We used the coffee shop for lunch and found a lovely array of homemade cakes and a good selection of savoury options including all day breakfast, paninis and omelettes. There were gluten free options available too both in savoury and cake choices but due to the small kitchen no cross contamination can be guaranteed, I emailed ahead to discuss gluten free choices and was told I could take my own if I didn’t feel comfortable with risk and still eat with my family in the coffee shop. You can look out over the paddocks of alpacas whilst using coffee shop as every table inside or outside looks over the paddocks. Tables outside all had large parasols over them to offer shade on the very hot day we visited. There are also outside tables under cover too in a nicely adapted/decorated shipping container to take shelter outside in our not so good great British weather.

There is a small well stocked shop within the coffee shop with items to suit all budgets including fridge magnets, toys, wool, knitted items, pottery and garden items.

We spent three very happy hours at the farm and would happily recommend and visit again.

We took our grandchildren there when they were staying with us. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the Meet and Greet experience and the children especially loved being able to cuddle the alpacas - Bumble in particular. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and happy to answer all our questions.
The cafe was excellent and it was nice to have a variety of seating options - inside, outside in the open and outside under shelter.
Everything was COVID-safe.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a visit to the centre and will certainly be returning.
