We highly recommend this family and volunteered run place. We have had such an amazing afternoon being shown round by Charlotte and input from Lyn and owners Charlie and John. Charlottes knowledge of the animals was brilliant and she gladly answered any questions we had.The animals are well cared for and certainly have unique personalities, especially Bobby! We loved the Meercats climbing all over us, holding the owls and stroking the raccoons. It is very impressive to see all the hard work that is going into building enclosures for these animals. My advice would definitely wear wellies. We look forward to coming back x

We spent the afternoon here today. Please support the rescue and the wonderful work they do. It wasnt so much an encounter as time spent with like minded animal enthusiasts. Charlotte volunteered her time in the sweltering heat to introduce us to a range of animals. They all have names. She knows their temperaments likes and dislikes. Unhurried and very welcoming….. like time with friends. I’d be happy to return
