Naughty Sheeps - Wonderful experience in Scotland. The sheep are lovely and very funny. The food (all homemade) was very delicious and extra once gluten-free. We would like to come back

You will love this experience! - Words can not describe this experience. As someone who enjoys afternoon tea, I found this a great find to build into our recent road trip in Scotland. It was a highlight as we had tea with six incredible sheep who are very smart. They were a little naughty (expected), which added to the afternoon's fun as you feed the sheep while trying to eat the delicious treats Beccy serves, from scones to sandwiches to sweets. Beccy shares the qualities of sheep, from their sensitivity to reading people to how clever they are in finding our weaknesses and figuring out how to get more food (or scratches). I highly recommend this experience.

Nothing else like it in Scotland! - My mother and I visited on a rainy day in April. What chaotic fun! I can't rate this experience highly enough. If you're a sheep lover, or heck, an animal lover in general, this is the place to visit. Beccy is a fabulous hostess! Her philosophy for life and managing her "friends" (the sheep) is one of peace, love and respect. First, she educates you on the very interesting psyche of the animals, the way they think and how we should interact with them. We learned so much! Then you're introduced to each sheep - what their personality is like and how they like to be petted. (My favorite was sweet little neurodivergent Harrington!). Once the sheep mingle a moment, the chaos begins! Beccy brings out the little tins of seeds and the cute porcelain dishes, and the sheep go from table to table nibbling up whatever they can. It's great fun and a lot of laughs. The "naughtiness" is adorable, until the hot tea and little cakes and goodies for the humans get served to each table. Keeping those little troublemakers safe from the hot tea was a little anxiety-provoking, but all in all, it was so much fun. Sign up for this experience. There's nothing else like it in Scotland! Thank you Beccy!

Absolutely amazing! - What an incredible experience! It was everything I hoped it would be and more. We chose to park at the Black Bull Gartmore (a lovely pub) and walk up to the farm, as we had a small and low car. The walk is lovely. The sheep are such a delight. You really get a sense of their personalities and how intelligent they are. When the food comes out, they are very naughty (in the best possible way)! All of the (human) food was also delicious, from scones and cakes to savory toasts. We even got to bottle feed the lambs. I never wanted to leave - can't recommend this experience highly enough!

Wonderful tea with very naughty sheep! - This was one of the most delightful events I’ve ever gotten to experience! Beccy was so incredibly thoughtful and she truly loves and cares for her naughty sheep! Our tea was delicious and the naughty sheep made tea very fun and challenging to eat (one of the sheep Finn insisted on getting on the table!) and my family and I laughed our way through our visit. Highly recommend meeting Beccy and the sheep for an adventure that isn’t to be missed!

Worthwhile and relaxing! - Such a fantastic experience! We even got to feel lambs. The sheep were really quite naughty, as advertised. Love the host and environment. Very peaceful and mindful.

So much more than I expected - What a fantastic, crazy but relaxing, peaceful but chaotic day. The host Becky was just wonderful. What a lady! Taking in orphan sheep and raising them with so much love and care. She is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. The sheep are just fabulous and what a hilarious experience with them during food time. We got to bottle feed the babies too. Spiritual, moving, mindfulness, hilarious….this had it all. I would 100% recommend this experience to everyone.

Fond Memories🐑 - What could be more Scottish than high tea with sheep? Becky, the hostess, made everyone feel welcomed and prepared for this unique encounter. We learned so much about her adorable sheep while we fed them off of china plates. We also had the opportunity to feed baby sheep a bottle. Becky served us a delightful tea and homemade delicacies that we thoroughly enjoyed. It was a special day that we will never forget and will fondly remember!

A true once-in-a-lifetime experience - A true once-in-a-lifetime experience. This was the highlight of my entire week-long trip. It’s hard to overstate how special this was. The experience takes place in the “backyard” of Beccy’s storybook house overlooking the romantic rolling hills and mountains of the Scottish countryside. Upon arriving, Beccy meets us, guides us in a meditation so we feel balanced when meeting the sheep, which are gentle and receptive, and then we finally meet them. Interacting with Dougal, Lochie, Fergus, and Harrison was fun and funny and deeply grounding. The tea and crumpets that Beccy made were also delicious. We saw baby sheep as well (a little surprise), and left not only with take home magnets of the fluffy boys, but also lifelong friendships. Thank you Beccy for crafting such a an amazing experience to meet your best friends in a thoughtful, ethical way that prioritized their happiness and wellbeing. We'll be back!

Charming host, great food...and sheep! - This was a delightful experience. Beccy is a charming and knowledgeable host, her home and grounds are lovely and peaceful, and the food far exceeded our expectations, with many items featuring produce grown on her property (blackcurrants, elderflower, gooseberries, etc.). We really appreciated the fact that the sheep are free to move around on their own and do whatever strikes their fancy, rather than being forced to put on a show for the guests. For us this was a perfect alternative to the hordes of tourists around Loch Lomond and the Trossachs.
