FAQs

• Do we need to bring anything for the farm tour or experience?

  If you’re joining our farm tour, please bring wellies and waterproofs if the forecast is rain. If you’re joining our farm experience, please wear sensible footwear.

• Do you cater for large parties?

  Yes, we welcome large parties. But we ask that you get in touch with us before your trip so that we may organise in advance of your arrival.

• What is the difference between a tour and an experience?

  Our tour is a guided walk around the farmyard, finishing in the barn with a coffee. Guests of the tour will take part in tasks like feeding the animals or collecting eggs – it’s more hands on than the farm experience.

  The experience still allows you to meet the animals and explore the farm but in your own time and with less supervised activities. Perhaps more suited to younger families.

• Can I feed the animals?

  Yes, you can feed the animals on both our farm tour and experience, but the feeding is more involved on the tour.

• What if the weather is bad?

  We now have the Bellevue Barn, which means we have the perfect undercover spot for when the weather’s bad as we can then carry out many of our tour activities in a sheltered space. It actually makes a trip to Bellevue Farm the ideal place to visit on those rainy days on Arran.

• Can we bring our dog?

  Well behaved dogs are welcome to join our farm experiences, but not our farm tours.

• Is the farm ground suitable for buggies?

  The farm ground, in our experience, is suitable for both buggies and pushchairs. On the tours there is some rough ground and a particularly steep slope, but most buggies still manage.

• Are there disabled facilities and access?

  Our barn has disabled toilets and parking.

  If you’re considering joining one of our tours or experiences, please call or email to discuss beforehand. There are some spots where wheelchair movement may be difficult, but we seek to accommodate everyone, wherever we can.

• Do you sell refreshments?

  While you’re relaxing in our barn you can enjoy a range of teas, coffees, juices, milkshakes, biscuits and freshly baked cakes.

• Do you sell your own produce and is it available to purchase when we visit?

  Yes, we sell our own home-reared lamb, pork, goat meat, and eggs which are available at the farm or on our online shop.

• How long does each activity take?

  Our tour takes 1.5 to 2 hours. We recommend 1 to 1.5 hours for our farm experience but it can take as long as you like, since it’s self-guided.
