Fabulous place! I was amazed on the size, architecture and furnishings as well as the collections inside. The surrounding are is also beautiful and it’s gardens were nice too. It’s easily accessible and also offer bus ride to the house from the car park. Staff were very friendly and everything was clean and top notch. I would highly recommend a visit as there’s a lot to see. Might recommend spending a few hours to truly appreciate all of that is to see.
Really enjoyable visit to this stately home although it was built as a museum to house the possessions of the Rothschild family. Fantastic collection of art works, ceramics, tapestries and furniture and grounds. Entry needs to be pre-booked via their website there is a long walk 20 to 30 minutes from the car park to the house or you can book a shuttle bus for £2.50 return, free if you’re a blue badge holder.
Easy to find with large ticket office and excellent parking capacity inc disabled with a shuttle bus to the house and stables. Property has an interesting history and easy to walk through the various rooms. Large gardens for outdoor walking. Plenty of food and drink available. House has timed tickets available online or at the ticket office on arrival. Staff friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
A good wee place to explore and walk (in the garden), learn about history, architecture and art. Perfect for couples and families as they have a nice cafe(outdoor sitting) and wine shop. Some of the areas were closed when we visited(they were doing some renovation/maintenance work). They have spacious parking. Overall a very good experience.
Lovely day out, and very beautiful architecture. Lots of walking, if you like that sort of thing, which we do! The Manor's history is also fascinating. We enjoyed it here. The gardens are particularly beautiful.
We had a great family day out here, the house is beautiful and full of amazing artifacts, and all manner of priceless treasures. I enjoyed the Solomon's temple exhibit, interesting to see how it may have looked in it's original form. The grounds looked incredible with the autumn colours, and walking around a finding little hidden details was interesting. The outdoor cafe next to the gift shop had lovely, tasty food and drinks available. The gift shop was very pleasant aswell. Every interaction we had with the people working/volunteering there was very positive. Thankyou for a great time.
Beautifully kept manor. Lovely to walk around. Kids can run free and have a look at the birds. Kids also have a nice playground to go in. The whole place is pushchair friendly. There is a steep slope down to the play area and stables bit. The shuttle bus is great if you don’t like too much walking. Car park was spacious. Great day!
Beautiful place to visit. Highly recommend. However, it's a very long and steep walk up to the main house from the entrance, so if you've got a lot to carry or don't fancy a challenging walk, there is a bus service from the ticket office.

It was Father’s Day when we visited and my husband was in second heaven. He didn’t want to leave. Lots to see in the train museum, book shop and on the platform there was a historic bike display. Good food and a chance to go on a short ride on Thomas the Tank engine. What more could a train enthusiast need?
Visited to see Wightwick Hall running on the Steam weekend. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Lots of engines to see around the site. Visited the museum, lots to see in there. Had a ride on the miniature railway. The cafe was very nice for lunch. Had a very enjoyable day here and well worth the drive from Sussex.
Where do I start, First of all the day out is worth every penny, the staff and everyone were super friendly. We enjoyed a Thomas and Friends day here where we got to ride on 2 different steam trains (Thomas and Percy) and enjoy all Thomas activities from dancing shows to craft activities. The model train rides were also great fun and the kids had a blast. There is also a very reasonable priced cafe in the main centre with loads of train related toys for the kids to keep them busy. There even was a steam tractor-trailer ride which the kids loved. Will definitely be back again in the near future, Thanks Bucks Railway Centre
A fantastic museum, run and looked after by very friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and interesting volunteers. The full site is sizeable, with a huge amount of exhibits both inside and outside. For the best experience a visit on one of the steaming days is highly recommended, but the café and shop are open most days and are a delight in themselves.
Fantastic day out, great value for money. Museum opens at 1030 and first train departs at 11am. Steam train ride lasts around 17minutes but you can do it as many times as you like. Museum well laid out and informative. Cafe reasonably priced £6 for 2 hot drinks, £5 for two ice creams.
We have been coming to the Railway centre for many years and have watched it get better and better. It is a must for any transport enthusiasts and especially train fans of course. Lots to see and do for all ages. Loads of historic info for adults and older children and plenty to do for little ones as well. Miniature train rides are a great addition. Plenty of food and drink on offer especially on event days. We came back for Auto Fest which was a classic vehicle event. Loads of interesting cars and vehicles attended and there was Live music and morris dancers. Great day out for families and people who like nostalgic days out.
Great museum with lots to see. Little train running today so wonderful little ride for the kids. Large steam train running too so nice little run back and forth in the line. Plenty of information to help you along the way. Well worth a visit.
An excellent day out can be had here. Friendly staff, interesting stuff to see and do. Kids love it but as an adult there is much to see too.

Fab experience - we loved our time at Abbotts View. From our warm welcome on arrival, meeting the male alpacas and walking them, feeding the females and also the ducks and goats and then finishing the visit with a delicious brownie and a coffee. Awesome!
Went back in May as a treat for my 21st birthday and had an amazing time! The staff are friendly and the experience is so unique. They teach you how to correctly handle the alpacas plus you get to have a snack and a drink in the cafe after included in your tickets. We took our alpacas for a short walk around, then we fed some alpacas too. I would definitely go again. If you're after a one of a kind experiences, this is for you!
Great experience,very well organised Carol and Sarah were really friendly and knowledgable.We walked Sir Keith he was lovely and walked well.We then fed the female Alpacas and goats before ending the day with hot chocolate and a cake.😋We would really recommend.
What a fabulous couple of hours. Sarah and Alice were fabulous with the group and super knowledgeable about the Alpacas. Lovely walk with Freckles followed by feeding the ducks and the females and a little chat with the goats. Top it off with a lovely cup of tea and a bit of lemon drizzle cake and you've got a perfect way to spend a couple of hours. We will be back, probably with the rest of the family!
A totally fantastic experience, from start to finish. James and Jo were both very welcoming and knowledgeable on these wonderful Alpacas 😊😊 That’s for a perfect day ❤️ Gilly and Mike
Fabulous day spent with the alpacas followed by a cuppa and cake. Extremely well organised with lovely people and fabulous friendly alpacas. Very clean, highly recommended five stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
I booked this place for my 12yr old birthday, she really enjoyed taking Jay-Z (one of the Alpaca's 🤣) around the walking route. The things I liked about this place 1. Each person gets a hot drink and cake afterwards (bonus point 🤪) 2. It's well worth the money 3. The Alpacas are very very friendly and funny especially while out walking 4. I liked how younger children can walk the Alpacas but obviously with adults beside them 5. I paid for 1 Alpaca but they gave me 1 to walk also, I'm guessing it's because they didn't have a full time slot and gave me the spare one (another bonus point 🤪) 6. Plenty of photo opportunities The list goes on, I would definitely recommend this place especially for children.
Absolutely amazing experience. It was a Christmas present for my daughter but due to covid it was delayed. The staff are amazing and informative and very loving towards the gorgeous Alpacas. We will most definitely be returning.

Had a great afternoon with some cute companions. You can see that the animals are taken good care of. Peaceful place, friendly staff, delicious homemade food...and goats - the perfect way to spend a Sunday. 🐐🦙🐇😊❤️
Pleasant visit during Easter. You can circle the whole place in 40min easily but if you want to visit leisurely 1hr is enough. Wish there were more ‘fact sign board’ about the animals. Plenty of goats and they were super active, wish there were more of the other animals or more variety. Cafe staff super lovely and can see they care about service. I recommend their chips
LOVE this place to come with small children. The white fox Jasper is beautiful. We were told to throw the food in for the pigs, which we did & loved watching them sniffling it all up. The goats were very gentle taking the food from the children - they use their lips to almost suck it up & the kids LOVED feeding them & the alpaca too. Fabulous way to spend a long morning with small children. We loved the rabbits & the chickens too. Brilliant sandpit & ride on toys too. Friendly staff. Good picnic area. Highly recommend.
Very good small goat centre. Not too far for little ones and old ones to walk but see a selection of animals including the grumpy pigs I have recently met. The kids will love it. Don't forget to call in the cafe. It's not exactly fast but everything we tried was excellent. The coronation chicken Baguette lasted me for two meals.
The best place to go for a cute date, family day out, or just when you’re feeling down and need to see some cute goats! The prices are reasonable, there’s a cafe and play area for kids, the staff are all really friendly. You can feed the goats, and there’s also chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, an alpaca, ducks and pigs.
Lovely little gem of a place! Staff were all very friendly and welcoming. They’re also very understanding of supporting neurodivergent needs as they run SEN sessions there. We had a lovely hot chocolate and cakes in the café before we left—all round a really nice visit. I’d add though, that this is a great place to visit as long as your expectations are aligned with what it actually is before coming. This isn’t a large farm park with lots of other offerings, it’s what it says it is: a goat centre! (It even has a famous goat from the movie Wicked.) They do have some other animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, pigs, an alpaca, ferrets, chickens and a beautiful fox) and some small play equipment, but it is mainly goats and wouldn’t take a huge amount of time to walk around if all you’re interested in doing is just noting that you’ve seen everything then moving on. The entry fee is pretty cheap, but if you want real value from this place, I really recommend booking the mini experiences as we did, where for £20 each (which includes entry to the centre) the farm staff will take you into the enclosures for 20 minutes (you can choose to do this with the goats or some of the other animals are options too) and tell you all about them, let you feed them and (in the case of the goats) brush and stroke them up close. My husband also went in to meet the fox! The money all goes towards supporting the centre and the work they do, so it was well spent for us.
Staff are amazing, friendly and flexible in accommodating younger children. Entry is fairly priced for what is available. There are a few different breeds of goat, pigs, rabbits, guinea pigs, and an alpaca. Ducks and chickens were roaming around. Quite fun for children. Plenty of space for the animals and you can feed them. Lunch space is quite small if the weather is bad, the children's play area is lacking a bit, although you go for interacting with the animals, which was great!
Lovely little farm with adorable goats of all shapes, colours, and sizes, plus some other animals. Friendly and helpful staff. Very reasonably priced cafe serving sandwiches, paninis, cakes, snacks, drinks, etc. Large free car park.

Amazing place! Great to show kids around and familiarise them with some wildlife. Please note kids have to be respectful in this place as it does have young, sick and injured animals in there. Please dot get bits and bobs from the gift shop to support them! They are doing great job! I couldn't recommend them high enough :)
Beautiful institution, lovely place, perfect for a family visit or to cheer up a wifey who needs 10ccs of cute animals stat
On a chilly, blustery day, this was our first visit to Tiggywinkles. Such devoted, caring and knowledgeable staff. All the animals are so well cared for, all have names lol, a really pleasurable visit. Thank you for your kindness and happy smiling faces
My mother and I visited on Thursday (10/07/25) for a morning visit, after my younger sister has been with her partner two years ago and recommended it to me! My favourite part was the museum where they had the posters and a clip of the road safety hedgehogs, that's a blast from the past! 🦔 It's all donation based! To help take care of all the animals which is good 😁 it's a lovely place, well worth the visit! I LOVED the zip wire in the play area, and I just loved the venue itself it's very nice and there are lovely staff as well, I will want to come back again after a lovely experience, my mum enjoyed herself too!! The butterfly garden was lovely as well, I enjoyed seeing that 🦋👩🏻‍🌾 and the wildlife hospital we could see through the windows and we saw the cutest baby bunny ever!!! Eating pellets and greens, it was very nice, but the hospital and seeing poorly wildlife animals can be triggering for some people! - it's well worth the visit if you haven't been already🤍
We loved our visit to Tiggywinkles today. It was my mother in law's wish to see a hedgehog for the first time and Lee was super helpful in showing us Orchid the hedgehog. As we travelled from Australia, I emailed with Adam beforehand to make sure we would be able to see what we wanted and he was super helpful, even giving us tips on how to get the train from London. This place is great. Good fascilities too with a little gift shop, some snacks, and toilets.
Amazing place. Such a great charity and really great place to visit for few hours. Loads of hedgehogs to see and plenty of passionate staff. One of favourite bits is the hedgehog museum - a real one off.
Great place to visit, would recommend. Staff very friendly and informative, special shoutout to Grace who gave the hedgehog talk
Small venue but very endearing and a lovely atmosphere. The staff are completely dedicated doing a fantastic job. The play park is great for kids and has a zip wire for bigger kids and swings and tide on toys for toddlers. Was amazing seeing the baby squirrels being fed. 2-3 hour visit is perfect
