Farm life in Manchester

“Fabulous afternoon with Clare and her alpaca buddies. We all had so much fun and Clare made it a really interesting afternoon. Loved meeting her beautiful sheep too. Had a very jolly time would definitely recommend a visit”

“Lovely food at reasonable price. Quick service and comfortable.”

“Excellent service from arrival at 5.45am to our return two and a half weeks later at 8pm. Fast efficient transfer to and from the airport and Chris and Karen are very friendly and accommodation. Highly recommended and will be using them in the future. You feel far more confident with your car under their stewardship rather than leaving it at the airport with the chance of the vehicle being damaged or broken into.”

“Very friendly and accommodating staff. Extremely well decorated and comfortable rooms. Excellent peaceful location - would definitely recommend!”

“Our second visit to Ash Farm and didn't disappoint. Another warm welcome from Jan, David and Christian. Rooms are lovely and clean and well stocked with the normal tea, coffee etc Breakfast is excellent, so much choice and cooked to order. 5 minute walk to Dunham Massey and lovely homely pub next door with a real coal fire”

“Went riding at Tarden Farm today for the first time, not ridden in 7 years so was a bit rusty and nervous. From the moment of walking into the yard was made to feel welcome from everyone which put me at ease. Beautiful well looked after and well behaved horses. Riding in lovely surroundings, couldn’t think of a better way to get your confidence back. Friendly and professional, would recommend. Will definitely be booking for next week.”

“I have visited the shop a few times now and absolutely love it. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. I have bought personalised gifts for a friends birthday, Mother’s Day and gifts for my children for Easter. These gifts have all been to a high standard and fantastic value for money ☺️”

“Friendly informative staff. Jessie came home happy, calm and very well looked after.I was so happy to receive photos of the fun he had”

“Would 100% recommend. Really good value for money, premises and bedroom/bathroom/showers all spotless. Bed sheets clean and very obviously freshly dressed. Garden beautiful. Just wished our plans gave us the opportunity to enjoy the premises for longer. Would definitely recommend opting in for the breakfast, fantastic value for money and the owner was very keen to cater for personal or dietary needs. Very welcoming.”

“Lovely staff in the cafe. In fact I wouldn’t call it a a cafe. I would call it a cafe I wold call it an restaurafe. The only down side was our drinks ( mine an extra hot cappuccino) was sat waiting for the waitress to take it to me. Therefore, it was cold when it reached our table. We were very close too where they make the coffee. The food was lovely and I was provided with with a bag for the other half of the wrap I couldn’t eat so I could take home. The Butcher’s had an amazing array of meat. The steak beef burgers that I bought were the best that I have ever tasted. The young lad that served me was very knowledgeable too. The staff in the grocery department were brilliant too especially when I asked the lady for ‘a quarter’ of pear drops ( I’m old school at 53) she didn’t bat an eyelid and gave me my (quarter) of sweets. What can I say? 24ct gold service.”

“Stuart gives his whole life to rescuing Animals in need! At his stage in life, to still be working tirelessly, with very little help is to be admired. Please support if you can, donations are always welcomed.”

“Went for the first time yesterday, myself and two teenagers. Wasn't really expecting too much but WOW!! Absolutely loved the place, much bigger than expected, lovely big layout for the animals. All look really well looked after,the goats especially fantastic!. Brilliant value for money ,plenty of places to picnic,clean toilets and lots of handwash stations. Can't recommend enough,don't hesitate just go and enjoy !!”

“My great granddaughter loves this place and she really loves feeding the goats and seeing cows close up. Shops got good quality food to.”

“Spent a lovely weekend here. Loved the shop. Jams, fresh milk and butter, Weather was on our side. Views was fab. The wet rooms was reasonably clean. Had a free bird show from a man flying his bird. The owner did say I could go over to him to see the bird, but I was in the middle of our dinner. You can hear a little road noise but that didn't put us off. We will return sometime soon. There is an adult only area but I prefer the main field. Love seeing family happy when their camping. .”

“A joy to stay here on many levels. Accomodation - great. People wonderful. Walks beautiful.”

“The nursery has just been rated as 'GOOD' by Ofsted in all categories. Our children are cared for well and treated as individuals. Parents are kept up to date about their child's development and learning through daily conversations and through the tapestry system.”

“My daughter goes to brookhouse farm preschool. We looked at a lot of nurserys prior to selecting brookhouse. The staff are great, the activities are fun, and our daughter loves going there.”

“Unfortunately we had to cancel our trip due to Coronavirus. However, the owners have been so wonderful and accommodating we will definitely be rebooking as soon as we can!”

“Great little shop. Plenty of loose goods to help yourself.”

“We recently took a group of residents from Warrington to this farm, I have to say, of all the trips we have done to various places this one comes first. The residents absolutely loved it, the smiles on their faces said it all. I will continue to recommend Hope View to our other customers, keep up the good work. Pink Passenger”

“Our dogs have been using this kennel for the past 3 years, always well looked after.”

“My Aunties old farm, beautiful location on Ashley Rd. Stayed many weeks here as a teen.A family stay here would have to be on my bucket-list.”

“We have been with the Simply Animals family for nearly 3 years. Gemma, Ryan and team have helped us right along the way, from puppy training, good citizen award, rally and Canicross. We also use Gemma and Ryan for daycare and home boarding. Sansa adores Gemma and I would not leave her with anyone else. I know she’s in safe hands. The facilities and friendly welcome you receive from the team is fabulous; they’ve made us feel part of one big happy dog family.”

“Great bloke Chris and very good Barbar.Top place good prices.”

“Nice laid back ambience. Coffee was first rate. I will return. I did return and it was great again!”

“Very pretty flowers and very nice people. Don’t ask them if they sell flower buds, they thought this was a rare species.”

“Food is great and for a very good price. Byriani portions are enormous, and everything is plated nicely. So far we loved everything and been there twice and ordered in once. Only thing that is missing is more people eating in, Mrs As deserves it!”

“Myself and friends had a marvellous few hours in the beer garden yesterday ~ the food was delicious and the beer was great. Would also like to mention how lovely the staff are, particularly lovely George”
