Opening Hours

Visit Time

A Relaxing Break From the Usual Sightseeing Route
Surrounded by cool highland air, nearby markets, strawberry farms and local food stalls, the sanctuary suits families and visitors wanting something light-hearted and interactive.
The Hands-On Feeding Experience
The main attraction — get close to the sheep in a calm, friendly environment.
Feed Them Yourself
Unlike a traditional farm where animals are viewed from a distance, visitors purchase feed at the entrance and feed the sheep directly, up close and personal.
Gentle and Family-Friendly
The animals are used to visitors, making the experience fun and suitable for families. For many children this becomes the most exciting part of the trip — feeding, taking photos and enjoying a personal farm moment.
Not Just Fun — A Little Learning Too
The visit can also be educational, especially for younger visitors.
Lessons in Kindness
Spending time around the sheep helps children learn about animal care, patience, kindness and respect for farm life — entertainment blended with meaning.
Slow Travel Done Right
Travel does not always have to be fast-paced. A quiet hour feeding sheep in the cool weather can become one of the most memorable parts of a holiday.
