I had the greatest pleasure staying over the May bank holiday 4 nights camping. Credit to Alan and what he has to offer for a family. Children were well entertained. The toilets, showers and kitchen block is out of all the campsites I've stayed at our exceptional. I was able to walk the dog in a field and look at the beautiful scenery. This for me is a camp site I will continue to stay at from now on. A camp site to be appreciated. Thanks Alan.

As you drive up to this place it does not look much, my first impression was of the theme park on craggy island! However the staff and the activities make is great value. The maize maze are must as are the quod bike barrel train!

We visited Funny Farm on 13th July 2017. We had a Groupon voucher so only paid £3 per person. I think it is normally double that. This was a day out for my 4 year old grandaughter. It was a great place for her. She loved playing on all the attractions.- zip wire, large slide, sand pit, pedal cart, electric car, bouncy castle, balance course, a ride behind a tractor (additional £1). We had lunch from the cafe. All seating was outside so lucky to have dry weather. Limited choice but what we had was decent quality and not a bad price. £7 for a sandwich, a toastie and a hot dog. You can bring your own picnic and there are some tables available. We also played a giant Jenga game and then went round the maize maze. It was a good walk and although the the maize wasn't taller than us apart from our 4 year old it was fun looking out for the clues as we walked around. (it took bout an hour). We spent about 3 hours there altogether. There were other games we didn't use - a giant draughts game, a football target game ( my husband did have a go at that), swing ball, a water fountain, There was also a play area for smaller kids. My only criticism is that the attractions need to be maintained to a better standard, they have seen better days and the toilet area wasn't great but in general I would say a good half day out for kids ages 3 to 11. Also it's a pity there are no animals, as it's a farm we had an expectation that there would be. Probably wouldn't rush back but mostly because we always look for somewhere we haven't been before. Worth one visit anyway.

Where do I begin with this place on reading a flyer found in our hotel 1st impression was WOW so many things listed to do. Children pay dearer than adults which we thought had to be a misprint but nope was in fact the case. When we arrived we were disappointed the place it is very small. With average games you would have in your own back garden. 2 go karts where in use around a very small track. Crazy golf was awful the zip line was the smallest ive ever seen. Outdoor board games had bits broken or else missing. The mini maze had a strange smell and was torn in parts. The bigger maze was good but not very tall. My little boy enjoyed the slide and the bouncy castle and seeing the one animal. This was a major let down for us as a family the entry fee is far to high for what they offer. We considered asking for a refund. Save your money and vist one off the local playgrounds.

A great day out, When you first pull up to it, you think is this it? But dont be fooled you will spend a few hours there. There was picnic area, a cafe was available, but bring your own and just buy your coffee. Some rides and bouncy castle. Kids loved the water squirting pole! You have to pay extra on top of your entrance fee for a few of the rides, but we got it on groupon so didn't mind. Maze was great fun as you have to solve clues on the way round. The barrel ride was great craic. There weren't many animals at the farm. Staff very friendly and good fun.

What a waste of money, kids were in the half grown maze for all of 5 minutes , there's no real path, people just went through anyway they please,there's as much fun tramping around a farmers field Young children will amuse themselves there.. but then they can amuse themselves with a cardboard box, save your fiver ahead and go to the public park

This family run business keeps the little ones well entertained. We visit it regularly during the summer as it is good value with plenty of variety.

so so disappointed with this place! my husband myself and two young boys were so excited about going here and were bitterly disappointed. it was the first day of the opening in july, granted it was drizzling with rain, firstly they gave us a reduced price (the maize was not open-which was mainly why we went!) she told us it was because of the weather, it was too wet! kids then went over to the bouncy castle which had a cover over it, but other kids were jumping on it with wellie boots! decided to pay for the mini golf, which was a disaster! the holes were filled with stones so when the first ball went in it never came out and so on with the second!!! the motorised bikes were the only thing they played on, all of 5 mins! we decided just to leave at this point as the rain was getting heavier. on the way out one of the staff said pity the maize was not open, but it was because the maize was not tall enough and we should come back at end of august!!!
