My three-year-old son and I went on a lovely walk with owner Robert and two of his llamas a couple of days ago. It was a really wonderful experience for both of us. Highly recommended!

The Llamas are so woolly and soft, and the owners are so friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell they really love their animals and treat them well.

I would like to say a big THANKYOU to Robert and Amanda, I organised a hen party trip to hereford and we visited the llamas and it was incredible. The bride cried with joy! We began by meeting the llamas and haltering them. We then groomed them and took them for a walk around the countryside. It was beautiful. Amanda and Robert were so kind and taught us so much. We then went back to the farm where Amanda made us all tea and we ate her lemon cake (delicious!!) . The llamas are such lovely animals and full of joy- u can see they are spoilt by Amanda and Robert and very happy. We all enjoyed it

Sorry this review is so late. My mum and I had a wonderful trek last August (told you it was late!), as a Christmas present from my sister. Rollright, Stonehenge and Carnac did a suberb job of helping their 2 leg, Robert introduce us to the wonderful world of llamas and show us around beautiful Ewyas Harold
