Overall Rating

Excellent

Absolutely fantastic for a short trip out to see the donkeys

Disabled Access In and Around

Excellent

Bit tricky getting in door! But someone always helped us. Paths outside are flat and pretty smooth. Playground has accessible swing and roundabout :) :)

Parking & Transport

Excellent

Car park is great - flat and plenty of room, though no allocated accessible bays. It is a bit far from the city centre but there are regular buses from Stockport, Chorlton & Ashton that stop almost outside.

Accessible Toilets

Excellent

Perfect. Range of facilities including ceiling track hoist and changing bed

Staff

Excellent

Lovely all very nice and helpful.

Additional Information

It is really nice for an hour or two out. You can see the donkeys and have a snack in the cafe. There is an accessible play area (kids who use wheelchairs can go on swing or roundabout) and a sensory room. Nice little gift shop too. There are a range of different activities, like riding a donkey or in a cart behind one and meet the donkeys - you have to book these via website.
