Wholesome family day out! - Amazing experience! We had booked for my nieces birthday! We had Expresso and Americano during our trek but got to interact with all the alpacas. The two girls on site for our guide were amazing! Place itself is beautiful and such a great day out. Memories we will cherish forever! Highly recommend a visit!

🦙 ☕🍪🧁🍰🌳🦋🌞 - Brilliant visit to Ballyburren Outdoor Escapes, to meet some new cuddly alpaca friends. Chilled out dander through gorgeous forest and coffee and treats at lakeside setting . Lindsay & Jolene looked after us so well and encouraged our young nephews with their 1st encounter with these amazing gentle aninals - awesome meet/greet/feeding experience in beautiful grounds. They are already planning their next visit! Hidden gem on our doorstep, sure what else would you be doing on a sunny Sunday morning 😊

Excellent and very enjoyable experience - We were wanting to do something a little bit different for a birthday treat. And this hit the mark. We enjoyed the trek with the alpacas (we were a family of four and walked with one of the baby alpacas, Americano). We had a great time and enjoyed a coffee and cookie from the coffee truck near the end of the route. Would definitely recommend. Good price!

Scenic walk with beautiful alpacas - Highly recommend the scenic alpaca trekking. We went as a family 3 adults 2 children and a baby in a pram. The guide we had was so lovely and knowledgeable, and we walked at a nice pace so we could stop and get some photos. The path is suitable for prams and is an easy enough walk. We stopped along the way for coffee, which was delicious and an amazing traybake. My Niece needed to feed her son and didn't know if she was going to have time and the lovely guide (I'm sorry I forget your name) said to go ahead we could sit at the coffee dock for an extra 10 minutes if needed . It was a very enjoyable and relaxed couple of hours and we all had a great time.

Alpaca time - We had a brilliant time trekking with our two alpacas, the lovely Americano and the talkative Nespresso. High recommended for everyone. Laura was our guide and did an excellent job. The coffee, hot chocolate and all the tray bakes are delicious.

Alpaca day out - Great afternoon out, just wish the trek was a little longer so we had more time to spend with the alpacas. Staff were ever friendly. Coffee dock is a little expensive though .
