THE BEN

The Ben

The Ben is where to check in & get your complimentary refreshments (tea, coffee & juice). 

Take home a token memory of your visit from our little alpaca-themed shop. Many products support local creators and charities.

Our alpacas star in a local book “Corrie’s Paper Capers” by author Alison Page. See what mischief they get up to! All proceeds go to Mary’s Meals UK.

OUR ANIMALS

Sheep

It’s not just alpacas that everyone loves to see here at Balmichael.

Valais Blacknose Sheep are super-friendly and LOVE a bit of attention! It’s easy to see why they are known as “the cutest sheep in the world!”

See our ducks down by the pond or wandering around looking for dropped treats! 

The Hens do believe they rule the roost! They will also be on the scrounge and will happily enjoy treats too!
