We are both deaf and came with the RDA group. We had a wonderful day and our particular thanks to Ray who I understand smoothed out difficulties before the event that your staff had and who arranged for Matt, what an angel, to allow us to meet the animals on the day. They particularly allowed the blind, deaf girl to touch so many animals and her happiness made us all cry. We are pressing RDA to bring a group for Christmas, may be even larger, so watch out Ray we will be on at you again! Wonderful farm and recommend it to everyone.

I appreciate that the mix-up with these vouchers had caused you all a big headache! But this letter is in appreciation to your kindness. Even I had a good time at the Farm, you have made it really lovely for everyone to visit, clean and tidy and friendly. The decking with seating area was a great idea, I could have sat there all day watching everyone enjoy themselves! Many thanks again, we are visiting again soon. Thanks. Dear Joseph,

My husband, our 3 children and myself visited your farm for the first time on Thursday 13th August and we had such a fantastic time. We haven't enjoyed a day out so much in a long time. We arrived at 10am and left at 5pm and the children loved all the animals and rides. Our children are aged 8, 5 and 1 and a half years old and there was something for them all. It is such good value for money. We will definately be returning for another visit !! Well done Kind regards Dear Old Mac Donalds farm team,

Then checked on the otters to see how they were ….they were in hiding but I waited and watched for the tell tale bubbles in the water (now that could be wind but I came to my senses) so went off in to the ball area where my wife and daughter fired the balls at each other. I was resting my bacon burger by now, but people outside were caught in the sudden monsoon. Then we went on the roller coaster pulled on by my daughter (didn’t need much pulling) followed by the wife and had a good laugh. Said to Julie-Anne why don’t you go down the big slide so she did what the others were doing jumped into the air and started to slide down. The only thing was she suddenly was standing up and sort of running before she fell forwards (heard her laughing her head off, what a relief so went to collect our bounty from the treasure hunt. I didn’t tell you this but we did 2, one for my daughter and one for me .I was disappointed I only got 1 bag whilst my daughter got 2 bags of money - what an injustice I say (boo boo) any way we left feeling we could have stayed longer but we had to get back to Luton so that my wife’s son could pick up stuff he left at our house before he went to Turkey. Alright for some! Anyway thanks again for a great day and hope to be back soon.
