What do our visitors say?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Seriously Good!"

"What is it about this place?! Consistently impressive regardless of the weather. The animals were varied and exciting, beautifully kept and clearly loving life. The new deer feeding activity and fabulous Miniature Pony and Donkey padlock were amongst the highlights of our visit. Being able to walk with the ponies and touch them was just brilliant. Even my 9 month year old was clearly touched by the experience. Got some great photos and memories!

The amazing team and animals at Pennywell deliver a safe and unforgettable day. Genuine, warm, friendly, informative and fun, Pennywell is a firm family favourite. Well done Team Pennywell!"!

"By far the best farm park I have been to!"

"We loved being up close to the animals and being able to feed the animals was amazing for her.

I have never met such friendly and helpful staff! Nothing was too much! Loved how you could walk through the horses grazing area. Plenty of picnic areas and lots of shade!

The best most personal touch was the owner at the end of the session came out to say goodbye to everyone!! Wished them a safe trip back! Which in all the attractions I have been to I’ve never had that- so personal and friendly!! Will definitely return"
