What you said about the tour
On Friday 9th August I went on a tour with my girls (who had bought the tour for me as a birthday present).
It was the most wonderful day, Billy was very friendly and informative and gave us plenty of time to get close to the animals. The highlight of the day was giving Harrison the calf a bottle (and a cuddle) and feeding the pigs!
After the tour we had the most delicious lunch which of course was vegan, served by very friendly staff. The whole experience was amazing, it was lovely to be surrounded by such compassionate people and wonderful animals who all deserve the right to live.
We can’t wait to return,
Many thanks to you all!!
Louise, Amy and Evie Taylor
Let's double in size
With 1,250+ animal residents and 20,000+ animals saved over our 30 years of operation, there's land on sale next to The Retreat and we have to double in size so we can help many more animals! For them.
All they need is your help <3
