Free entry. Lots to see and do. Great cafe on old double decker bus.
Loved this place, got to see how the honey went from comb to jars, loads to do for kids, cafe and cake, plus all the Vintage vehicles.
If you are interested in bees and honey then visit. If you are not then still visit for a glimpse of something different. Lovely location; nice food; good attitude from all the people who served us and who worked in the shop. And the flower hardens are lovely as well.
Looked forward to visiting the Honey Farm cafe. Very disappointing experience: overpriced and very slow service. The food, ie sponge was dry and the date slice was so sickly. Surely with this being such an obviously popular place a larger food prep area would help speed things up?
Really lovely little place with gorgeous gardens for the bees and a cute little cafe in a double decker bus. We couldn't go in the bus as our dog was too big (she is a chonker!) but there was sheltered outdoor seating which kept us dry. The food was nice, typical cafe grub. The chain bridge was only a short walk and worth it. Maybe not quite exciting enough to drive a few hours to get to, but if you're passing nearby I would say it's definitely worth dropping in!
Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up
After visiting over 13 years ago this was a return visit. So much had changed. Parking on site was very helpful. Shop was stocked with everything honey you can imagine - purchased a few gifts and plenty of honey! You can't visit and not stop for coffee and cake. Honey cake was delicious. Staff were so helpful and friendly.
Fantastic free little visitor centre with great owners and staff. The Bee 🐝 garden is lovely and the gardener Michelle who attended to them was very knowledgeable and friendly. Well worth a visit.
Amazing place. We love it. Honest products at good prices! Museum is fantastic. Great day out for the kids. Good food for the cafe bus. Excellent staff, very friendly.
We visited on recommendation at the beginning of October, travelling from our hotel in Berwick-upon-Tweed. A fabulous farm where you can explore and learn everthing about honey bees, the bee garden, and purchase all your honey and honey based products directly from the farm. You can also watch the bee's doing their thing. There's lots of history on the area to explore here and a short walk down the road (uphill on the way back) was Chain Bridge a must visit. There's vintage farm equipment to explore, too. My favourite was the London bus. It brought back childhood memories of hopping on and off in the city with my nan. A fabulous wildlife photograph exhibition was also guesting whilst we visited. In the high season there's also a cafe in a converted bus. I would definitely recommend this little gem.
