Posted on Bart Piasek2 March 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience, farm is located in a secluded and peaceful location, that is far from the hustle and bustle of town noises. Staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. We were able to experience a first hand baby lamb feeding and even petting a rabbits and pigs 👍 There are some long walking trials on the farm and a bit more compressed too. The place must be amazing during spring/summer as you can also come up and rent a camping site or chose from selection of mobile homes. All reasonably priced. Toilets were super clean and functional, I did see table tennis facilities, bbq spots and many more.Posted on Mark Alcorn15 January 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An amazing place. Perfect for families and kids or anyone wanting a beautiful camping holiday. There is so much to see and do, feeding baby goats, holding chicks and baby rabbits, go-karts and tractor rides. Located just outside Kilkenny near Bennetsbridge it’s a short drive into the city and other local attractions. Highly recommendedPosted on Maria Griffin27 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The santa experience was one of the best we have been too, absolutely highly recommend 👌Posted on Sharleen Fitzgibbon22 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10/10 this experience is amazing! We have been for the last 3 years and hope to continue going for years to come 💛 Santa is amazing! His elves incredible! Thank you for this family tradition 🎄Posted on Sabrina Phelan22 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent Santa, interactive with the kids and looks the real deal, more expensive than others in town but happy to pay for the experience. Can’t deal with a fake beard or padded tummy, the two guys in macdonagh are authentic. Kids loved them and it’s the same guys year on year which is fab for the pictures. Highly recommend 🥰Posted on Sabrina Hurley17 December 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an excellent service. Everyone we meet were brilliant at their job. As for the main man!!! Derek, thank you for your magic!! Santa my two girls were delighted to meet the real one 😉
