Our Farm

Balmichael is a charming little place with animals & glamping accommodation.

Any visits must be booked to see the alpacas & use our facilities.

ARRIVAL

Please park at the sign-posted car park, wander down the path to The Courtyard & check in at The Ben.

WCs are located in The Courtyard where warm water is available for hand washing after touching animals.

 

 

 

THE BEN

The Ben is where to check in, get your animal feed & craft zone!

We have a little gift shop for taking home a token memory of your experience. Many products support local creators & 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.

 

 

PLAY & PICNIC

The play area has a trim trail, slide & positioned on a grass area next to a duck pond. There is a small football area with goals. 

You are welcome to bring along your own snacks. We do sell some small treats on site. 

 

 

 

OUR ANIMALS

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!”

Our latest addition is the small animal barn where you can do some “carrot fishing” with the rabbits & guinea pigs. These super cute guys have been a huge hit since joining the gang.

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!
