This was a great place to take the kids! We could have spent literally all day here: between the…read moreanimals to visit and pet, completely different indoor and outdoor play areas - and a fabulous indoor slide, etc, there was TONS to do, weather permitting. Entrance fees (when we went in fall 2012) for adults & kids 3-17yrs old: 9.20 pounds, Kids 2 yrs old: 7.60 pounds, and under 2 yrs old: free. Extra for the Pony rides and Tractor rides. Money well spent if you arrive early and stay as long as possible to maximize the expense. If you can only go for a short time, ask about the After school rate. We really loved the tractor ride (1.25 pounds per adult) - while it was a little hard to hear the narration (it was windy that day) we enjoyed the fun bumpy ride around the farm - They had some clever decoration in honor of the Halloween season. Little Hoppington area is ADORABLE: the animal village for animal handling, goat milking and various bunnies in their own "houses" that you can feed. So cute! And the adults turned into kids once we got on the giant slide. They even have a cute little gift shop which stocks kids Wellies/rain boots for 15 pounds. (no entrance fee to enter the Gift shop) PLUS: the food they served at the Old Barn Tearoom (you can eat there without paying entrance fee) was shockingly delicious. Most places like this have mediocre food. I thought this place gave generously portioned and well priced meals: My hubby, 3 yr old son and I shared a Shepherd's Pie, the kids mac and cheese (came with salad on the side) scone w/ jam & clotted cream, and a Ribena drink for less than 10 pounds. I'm a FAN.

It was a happy accident when I stumbled upon this farm park. I was walking around the fields of…read moreTanworth-In-Arden with my daughter and we found ourselves at the back entrance. 'I thought you'd closed?' I said to the staff member. It turns out that we'd come on the re-opening day, the farm having been shut for some time due to foot and mouth disease. (Don't be put off-All farms found themselves in this position for a the time). Being Spring, there were animals that were fresh into the world. My daughter was transfixed by a kid being protected by its mother goat, (it'd been born that very morning.) Then along with a gaggle of human kids small Miss Ben C. got to feed some lambs milk from baby bottles. The pig sty area is where we spent most time watching tiny piglets huddled round mum, and seeing the larger pigs wallow in mud. The cafe sell a good breakfast and if the weather is good you can eat out in a semi-courtyard. For a small price little ones can be lead on a pony by one of the friendly workers.

I'm not too keen on animals so my small companion and I teamed up to try and brave some of the things on offer. The farm often allows children (and adults) to bottle feed newborn animals but on this day we only adventurous enough to hold a rabbit and baby chick. They also have pony rides but we didn't feel brave enough to do that either. We really loved climbing on the tractors and farm equipment, in fact trying to prise an under 5 lad off said vehicle proved a little difficult. Personally the best part for me was the lovely Farmhouse Cafe, you can access this even if you don't pay and visit the farm. We enjoyed a great afternoon tea compete with cream cakes. For me it was quite expensive for 2 adults (£8.50 each) and one child (£7.50) expecially as it is quite a drive from where I live too. However, as a one off treat that is ok. Just make sure you get there early and spend forever on the tractor!

Small Business of the Year Winners at the Rugby Business Awards 2010…read moreStep inside and you'll see why? This is a working farm as opposed to a farm which has opened a shop selling, in the main, products from elsewhere. Here they use as much of their own produce as possible..check their home-made pies, cakes and puddings? Find yourself a table facing the busy kitchen and watch them being made? Very friendly atmosphere. Personal, attentive service and quality assured at all times. There is even an onsite artisan florist! The website lists all the regular and seasonal events they organise.and there are many! My wife and I always try not to miss the credit crunch lunch every Friday and the exceptional traditional Sunday Lunches? Manor Farm's busy facebook page is also worth a visit. Own website

Situated on an A426 between Rugby and Lutterworth, the calm within is amazing and the wealth of gift ideas and quality goods for home and garden. Visit their website and read about the history of the farm and, in particular the barn itself? It's an education. An absolute must, and my main reason for visiting regularly, is the refreshment area. It really is sublime. There is a small seating area right opposite the counter which, in the colder months, has a log burning fire. There is a larger and very comfortable seating area in an upstairs lounge with mixed seating.sofas, armchairs, tables.another log burning fire which is regularly attended to. Sink into one of the cozy chairs and watch the traffic pass yet at the same time feeling, as if perhaps, you are somewhere else? An impressive array of homemade cakes etc., awaits your attention when you place your order which, even if you choose to take a seat in the upstairs lounge, will be brought to you by a member of the pleasant staff. For a light lunch you may try their delcious homemade soup with a roll? I would be happy to recommend this establishment to my female contacts as a place for the unaccompanied traveller to stop and rest a while in a spotlessly clean and safe environment. Worth a detour!!

I cannot rave enough about Finkley Down Farm. I don't even have kids I can use as an excuse - I…read moresimply come here to relax and spend some time with the animals. The atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful and the abundance of cute greedy animals desperate for you to feed them is nothing short of delightful. Their animals range from goats and sheep to chickens to cows right over to the more unusual llamas and highland cows. Even if you're not into getting close to the animals or feeding them the buckets of food available at the ticket office, just watching them mooch around is still fun and relaxing. The llama took somewhat of a disliking to me (was it something I said?) and stormed at me, looking like it could easily clear the fence and gain its freedom. I wasn't going to hang around to find out. One look at my pathetic retreating hide running off into the distance was enough to reduce its anger to mere disdain, and instead he decided to spit all over me. In some sort of random heroic act, the pig sharing its pen flung itself at the llama as if to take the blow for me, and rather than reflect on the llama soaking I'd been given, I instead watched this pig take one for the team. Right in the eye, no less. From hereonin, I shall name this pig SuperPig. If you do have kids you can pretend are the reason for visiting, there's plenty to keep them occupied. Other than the animals you can feed, there are talks and handling sessions with some of the smaller or baby pets throughout the day. There's also a nice adventure playground and a couple of trampolines to wear them out on too. There's a small gift shop and a place to buy some food, as well as a picnic area if you're sensible enough to bring your own food. I love this place and can't wait to go back when it reopens for the season next year.
