When is the best time to visit?
Highland cows are happiest when the weather is cool and comfortable, so the best times to visit are usually during spring, autumn and milder summer days. If the weather is too hot, bookings will be rescheduled to allow our cows to relax in the shade. (Their welfare will always come first).
For the best chance to interact with the cows, we recommend booking:
- Morning experiences (especially in summer)
- Spring visits (March–May)
- Autumn visits (September–November)
- Cooler, overcast days
Our cows’ welfare always comes first, so on particularly hot days they may spend more time resting in shaded areas to stay comfortable.
Are your cows reared for meat?
Absolutely not! Around here, our Highland cows are family members, not menu items. We raise and care for them because we love them, and many of our visitors return time and time again to see their favourite furry friends.
Our farm is supported through tourism, experiences, accommodation and our shop, which means every visit helps us give our animals the happy, pampered lives they deserve.
Are you open all year round?
Yes, but we close for Christmas and New year.
Is it dog friendly?
As much as we love dogs, we don’t allow pet dogs on the farm. Our animals’ welfare is our top priority, and the presence of unfamiliar dogs can sometimes cause stress to livestock.
Accredited assistance dogs are, of course, welcome. If you’ll be visiting with an assistance dog, please get in touch before your visit so we can help make suitable arrangements.
What happens if the babies don't want to go for a walk during my booking?
We will never force an animal to walk or do anything it doesn’t want to. Our aim is to give them the happiest lives we can.
That said, they do mostly like to walk and you can always interact with them without barriers.
