Pennywell Farm & Wildlife Centre (Buckfastleigh) Reviews

What a fabulous place to take the children for a day out! Staff all very friendly. Plenty to do and see, I highly recommend this attraction for a fun day out. Don't forget to take a camera you will need it,

This farm is an amazing place to take children, and if you are a slightly obsessed pig lover like me, fantastic for adults too. There are many rides and attractions for children, several food and drink options to keep you going, and lots of events going on throughout the day such as feedings and milkings. The farm really encourage you to ...  Read the complete review

Recently on holiday with some friends they suggested that we go to Pennywell for the day and I'm so glad they did, I thought it was an amazing place! Where is it? Pennywell Farm Activity Centre is situated just minutes off the A38 by Buckfastleigh in South Devon making it very accessible from popular holiday ...  Read the complete review

I visited Pennywell about a year ago while on holiday in Devon, so I don't know if it has changed since then but when I went it was absolutely brilliant. The cost of entry is as follows: Adults £10.50, Children: £8.50, Senior: £8.50. This does seem rather expensive but it is well worth it. If you are an animal ...  Read the complete review

Pennywell Farm is located in South devon just outside Buckfastleigh, when you arrive at the farm you will find a very spacious carpark, even in the summer when the farm is very busy you will find enough ...  Read the complete review

We took our 3 yr old there and he did enjoy the animals particularly the baby goats. Quite a lot of activites on but mostly suitable for older children. Lots of tractors and diggers which was great but too many that cost extra. The train was not very impressive as it's such a short track and went at quite a pace. Superb views across the valleys, some good play areas for older children. Toilet facilities adequate, coffee was disappointing. In general felt it was expensive for what it is, may be better value for slightly older children.

I recently visited Pennywell farm with children aged 7 months - 6 years. We arrived early and were greeted by a friendly staff member who gave us the run down. On leaving the entry point which is cleverly in the shop you are in a barn with rabbits, some baby pigs and other small animals to pet. They have a variety of animals ...  Read the complete review

I have recently spent the day at Pennywell farm just outside of Buckfastleigh in Devon with my family and we had a great time! It is well signposted from Buckfastleigh. We arrived at opening time, 10:am and the posters say that there are activites all throught the day, and they weren't kidding. We paid our entry £9.95 per adult, £7.95 ...  Read the complete review

Pennywell farm isn't cheap, £9.95 for adults, £7.95 for 3-16 year olds and under threes are free. Although this is expensive compared with other similar parks and the size of Pennywell Farm, the fact that it is so hands on, I feel makes it worth every Penny! Also, Tesco clubcard 'days out' voucher can be used to pay for ...  Read the complete review

Pennywell Farm is in Devon, near Buckfastleigh (between Exeter and Plymouth! We visited there yesterday to take our 3 month old daughter on her first trip there! The farm has the slogan "Devon's friendliest day out" and this was certainly borne out - from the friendliness of the staff at the entrance right the way ...  Read the complete review

When you are going on holiday with a young child, one problem can be what to do to occupy them. They can be a bit young for theme parks and museums, but the weather isn?t always good enough to play on the beach or park. I have just come back from a holiday in Devon with my daughter, Alice who is nearly 3 years old, so faced this problem. ...  Read the complete review
