What the hell has happened to this place? We used to go there all the time with our children and grandchildren. Nothing there anymore. Few animals and no petting area and no tractor rides. Yeah it is now free to get in but it is pointless. I wish they’d left it how it was.
You have to pay online to use the tiny indoor play area, £5 each for an hour. Even adults are charged £5! We didn’t know this and went in regardless. No one checked. Our grandsons got fed up after 15 minutes as there was hardly anything to do so I’m glad we didn’t pay. There are also notices saying you can’t eat your own food onsite. There is a cafe but it isn’t cheap. £5 for a child’s packed lunch which consisted of a small jam sandwich, banana, packed of PomBears and a carton of juice. If you are paying to use the play barn and have a drink and eat, it works out expensive for a family.

Weve just been for a visit at the farm today for our sons 2nd Birthday.
A little confused what we were charged £15 for? £5 entry for the children's indoor play that had a house with a few bark chippings, a sandpit,a tiny soft play area nothing more for a 2 year old.
Why are adults charged £5 each?
An outdoor play area which was okay but have the exact same at our local park.
No food to feed the animals.
The farms not really toddler friendly, my son stung himself on the stinging nettles overcrowding out the chicken fence.
Was in and out within 40 minutes.
Waste of time and money.

I feel that the entrance fee for Umberslade is really not value for money. We paid £25 for a family of 4 to visit the sunflower fields, however I think that £2.50 per person would have been more than an adequate charge given the limited activities available. The farm is undoubtedly beautiful, and kept immaculately clean, however I feel that charging a family £25 for seeing 1 x pig, 4 x goats, some ducks and some chickens is verging on daylight robbery. When we arrived there were no staff visible, merely an a-board with, “check-in point” written on it adjacent to a closed door emblazoned with the word, “staff”. As we had booked online we hovered around for someone to turn up and reiterate the rather meagre offering we had already encountered. I can only but wholeheartedly apologise if there were other activities that we missed, but I really don’t feel that Umberslade is in anyway comparable to the likes of Hatton, All Things Wild, or Adam’s Farm. That said, the staff were pleasant and the coffee was excellent.

I’ve been to Umberslade Farm, now Estate quite a few times, but now will never return. It has changed a lot, and now offers very little for the children, but prices have become extortionate! I’ve found the staff have become very rude, and it really doesn’t feel like a nice atmosphere there anymore at all. I will never return again, and will not be recommending it to any of my Mummy friends either.

I and some friends had a wonderful weekend camping there this August.
The facilities are amazing; brand new, clean shower cubicles and toilets, a covered pot washing area, a fantastic cafe, and a craft pizzeria/bar in a barn.
Oliver, whose family have run the site for nearly 200 years, was very very welcoming for me and my friends who go there every year for our mutual appreciation of Nick Drake (who grew up in Tanworth-in-Arden). He even offered to mow the field especially, although we all felt was unnecessary just for us. The glamping pods looked great and there were porta-loos for those who couldn't make it to the toilet block at night. Everyone else camping on site was quiet and respectful. The farm appears well run, and the animals a joy to see.
Fantastic all round, thanks guys!

We went here last week for the first time and was not disappointed! It is only a small farm compared to others I have visited but there was something for the kids to do every half an hour whilst also being able to look around the farm. There were things such as tractor rides, feeding animals and petting them too! There was an Hawaiian disco in the indoor play area with fancy dress to use and my child and his cousins had so much fun! Great value for money... one of the best farms we have been too!

It's not been a farm park for a long time but we still enjoyed visiting the estate. We would go for a long walk, see the goats, chickens, ducks and pig, pop into the cafe for a drink and cake then the kids would play on the play area. The play are is looking very worn especially the toddler part but as it was free couldn't complain. We were so disappointed to visit today and find the car park has been taken over by parking eye. You can no longer go for a walk first without paying. Honestly there's not enough here to warrant paying to park. Such a shame as we always spent money in the cafe but on principal we won't be visiting anymore, there are better cafes.

Hi,
You are correct we don't operate as a farm attraction anymore and haven't done for 4 years now.
The car park is now managed by parking eye not owned. This has been introduced due to a number of visitors taking advantage of facilities without using the coffee shop/playbarn or pizza barn.
Parking is free if you use facilities on site such as the coffee shop, playbarn or pizza barn. You need to enter your registration at each location. This can be done at any point during your visit so you can go for a walk first if you wish.
If you don't wish to use facilities you can choose to pay for parking which is currently £2.00 for up to 2 hours or £5.00 for up to 12 hours.
In your situation, as you are using the coffee shop there is no real change and parking is free.

Absolutely shocking customer care. The telephone number (listed here, on Facebook and on their own website) doesn’t work, they don’t reply to emails or to Facebook messages. Without being able to contact them, I can’t arrange for them to pay the refund they agreed to give us. I definitely wouldn’t recommend Umberslade anymore.

We really enjoyed the meet & feed the animals & our guide was excellent & all the children loved feeding & petting the animals. The play barn is superb & their are lots of outside areas to enjoy a picnic. Many thanks to all the staff at Umberslade for making our visit so enjoyable.

Is there much to do for a toddling 19 month old?
Written May 6, 2018
There are small sit on self propelled cars. At different times there are activities which involves children in bottle feeding calves, lambs and other small animals. You can pet rabbits, chicks, rats etc. What child doesn't like tractors........Take a ride on the tractor trailer, lovely when the sun is shining. There are ducks and hens to feed. Hope this helps.

haven't camped there myself but they do have an attractive looking campsite along with some yurts????
I think they also have large teepees available and they have had wedding receptiobs there so I'm guessing the standard is quite high

Has there been any action on this from the farm or is it a stated position of the farm to treat non-caucasians differently. Am not sure if I should take my family unless the farm clarifies on this.
Thanks for posting this. It is important that Businesses understand that this kind of behaviour is not acceptable in modern day Britain.

We visited in June and experienced no discrimination. Staff were polite, friendly and professional to all members of our party irrespective of ethnicity (and we a very mixed bunch of ethnicities)
