There’s something special about staying on a farm and West Woolley is no exception.
Help Feed the Animals
It wouldn’t be a farm holiday without farm animals and ours are a very sociable bunch, especially at feeding time. In fact, it’s hard to know who enjoys this activity most – the children or the animals. We meet at half past eight most mornings and will show you the meeting place when you first arrive.
Cheeky Goats
Our pygmy goats have won their way into the hearts of many of our guests, young and old. Small, friendly and very inquisitive, they love carrots and playing games – you might see Dandelion trying to nibble Farmer Richard’s wellies or Bounty playing in the special goat playground.
Hungry Pigs
There’s only one thing that Ruby Rose and Chilli, our hairy Kune Kune pigs, love more than a mud bath – breakfast! And the only thing they love more than their normal breakfast is banana skins, so save yours up and watch them munch them down.
Speedy Sheep
Barley and Clover are the fastest sheep in the West! Once you’ve opened the gate to their pen, they’re off at high speed to join their friends, the pigs, in the field. And despite being little, they take no nonsense from Chilli, Ruby and Rose.
Nosy Chickens
Little ones love feeding the chickens. And seeing them crouched down with a pot of pellets and a big smile, while our chickens contentedly peck away, always makes a great photo. If you’re lucky they may have even laid you an egg!
Waddling Ducks
Animal feeding always starts with our little flock of cartoon-style Indian Runner ducks. After their breakfast, they’ll waddle up from their stable before setting out to explore the farm.
Burn Off Some Energy
Our play barn is the perfect place for youngsters to burn off energy under cover. Here you can kick a football around, practice your cricket skills, shoot hoops in the basketball net or play table tennis or table football There’s also a range of ride-on tractors and toys for toddlers.
Soak Up the Peace and Quiet
One of the best things about West Woolley Farm, so our guests tell us, is the chance to really unwind. There’s something wonderfully relaxing about reconnecting with nature; watching the swallows flitting over the meadows or the bees buzzing in the flowers; hearing a skylark high in the sky, watching the barn owls at dusk or gazing out over the fields to the sea in the distance. Come night-time, when the dark sky is punctuated with millions of stars, you’ll succumb to a deep and peaceful sleep.
