SOME COMMENTS FROM OUR VISITORS:

We have just returned home after a two week holiday in Dartmoor, during which time we visited your donkey park for the third year running.  As soon as we arrive in Devon, our son Oliver asks when we are going to the donkey factory!!!
 
Oliver and Poppy absolutely love seeing all the animals, and the fact that they are roaming around freely to be fed and stroked.  Oliver is particularly taken with the goats, who he calls his little mates, and he is delighted that they follow him around - most likely due to the tasty bag of carrotts that he is holding!!
 
I just wanted to say that you all do a fantastic job down there and a visit to your park is now an integral part of our annual holiday, and one which we all look forward to and enjoy soooo much!!
 
Keep up the good work and we look forward to seeing you again next year!

I just wanted to write and tell you what a fantastic day we had at your Sanctuary.  We found a leaftlet advertising the Sanctuary at our holiday park in Looe.  Our two year old son loves animals so we thought we would come and spend  a day there.  He absolutely loved it, his most memorable day of the two weeks by far.  He is still telling everyone he rode a donkey called 'Happy' and showing them how a donkey stamped its foot.  It is brilliant how close the children can get to the animals, I could not believe how his confidence grew around them during the visit.  We nearly had to bring home one of the pigmey goats as he was so upset to be leaving it.  He was also excited to  see a sink the correct height which he could use without any help.  Everything about the visit was great.

Thank you for a great day, you have got it spot on!  The work you do is fantastic.

Just to let you know that the children had a fantastic day at the park.Although the weather could have been better it did not spoil their fun and there was plenty to do inside. The park was perfect for the age of the children and the right distance to travel so expect to see us next year!

 

Thanks once again.
