Fantastic local community farm, all staff are volunteers and are super friendly. Great place for kids and family.... There’s a lovely little cafe on site too, there’s many activities you can do from petting the animals, walking along the river bank, little sand pits for the children, a zip wire. I would highly recommend visiting. The Garden House rely solely on donations to keep the place running.read more

The Garden House is a great day out for all the family. The staff are friendly and helpful and the animals look... healthy. It also provides volunteer work and work placements for people with special needs, which is extremely beneficial for them. I'm very impressed by the care and attention for all concerned on the farm. The owner is also very friendly and kind. Nicola Mills.read more

Lovely little place with some animals and a play area, beautiful little river surrounded by forest to the side. Ice... cream and food/coffee available (nice bacon barm). Be warned, the road to get there is very bumpy/holey! Just up the road is the ruins of an old mill and more views to exploreread more

Lovely place, friendly staff. Good selection of animals. Great children's play areas. Lovely river walk. Unfortunately... the road down to it could wreck your tyres as it had very deep potholes.read more

Rustic, natural, a great story to its history, beside the River Goyt too. We'll kept animals, allowed to roam freely... when it's their turn.. Funny alpacas & pot bellied pigs, not forgetting lots of goats Plenty other animals too. Fab play areas. Yes several! Lovely staff. Very reasonably priced all round, incl the fab ice cream from the kiosk. Low key, family half a day out. Basic but sufficient choice from the cafe. Good coffee too.read more

We had a lovely walk along the river to here from Marple Bridge. Never knew this place existed until a month ago. A... lovely set up with pigs, goats, ponies and alpacas and a children's play area. Lots of seating. Unfortunately the 'cafe' let this place down. We were going to have coffee and cake but the queue was so long and slow, we left. They are missing a big opportunity here to make money for the farm. I'm really not sure why they were spending ages making bacon butties!!!?? Simple, quick food is all that is need in my opinion.read more
