Frequently Asked Questions

CAN I BRING MY DOG?

We’d prefer if you didn’t bring your furry friends with you as having them around can spook our animals.

CAN I COME AND JUST WATCH?

Yes we do have adult and child spectator tickets that can be puchased

IS THERE A CAFE/SHOP ONSITE TO PURCHASE A SOUVENIR OR TO BUY A COFFEE?

Yes, we have a small shop where hot & cold drinks and souvenirs can be purchased. However, our tickets for the Alpaca Meet, Greet & Feed include a hot or cold beverage.

HOW FAR DO WE WALK ON THE ALPACA WALKING EXPERIENCE AND WILL THERE BE HILLS?

We would recommend wearing shoes that are enclosed and cover your feet completely i.e trainers (Summer), wellies (Winter). Wearing open toe footwear on the rare occasion that the animals may tread on your feet it would be a bit painful.

The best 90 minutes. A calm slow trek across fields plenty of time to get to know your alpaca and find out lots of interesting facts. Will definitely be back to see Harry and Teddy. And the goats.

We had the most wonderful experience for my Aunt’s 80th Birthday. Lily and Martha were excellent at leading the group and really took care of us and kept the pace slow and careful. I would recommend this experience to everyone. Thank you for a really memorable morning 💖

A wonderful morning spent with our guides Martha and Kate and the beautiful alpacas. It was a fantastic experience for all the family - aged from 10 to 80 years old. Would thoroughly recommend. Really helpful and informative staff, and the alpacas are gorgeous, well-kept and happy. Keen to visit again!

We recently spent a wonderful afternoon walking the gorgeous alpacas at Rustic Retreats. I was given Pepper who was an absolute dream. The alpacas are extremely well looked after and the staff are very hands on and knowledgeable about all things alpaca! It's a stunning spot overlooking Carsington with self catering accommodation on site for those who fancy a longer stay.
