Hollow Trees Farm in Babergh

Lovely place for an afternoon out with the grandchildren! The animals are well cared for and there is plenty of areas for children to interact with the livestock, have fun in the many activity areas, and take time out for a rest! I highly recommend a visit.

I have been coming to Hollow Trees Farm almost 2 decades now from having young children's parties to date... Today I was shocked and disappointed at how much this lovely place has deteriorated, especially hygiene. The cafe floors were filthy and we noticed other customers looking with disgust. A young waitress used a blue cloth, wiped the table legs then with the same cloth wiped the chairs then went to the table. Yuk ! The roast was tasteless, bland and the roast potatoes so hard and dry, I could have bounced them off the walls. The gravy was like water and had brown clots in it.A 3 year old could do a better job. The Yorkie pudding was like powder it was so overcooked and the whole experience was like nothing before. Honestly, serious hygiene issues in this place now. What on earth has happened? Unfortunately after all these years of enjoying this lovely place, we will not return. Please get a chef in who can cook and up your staff hygiene. We wiped our feet on the way out !

Great farm shop. Very good quality and selection. Fresh local produce great place to shop. The cafe is brilliant and my grandchildren love the farm trail.The layout of the farm trail has changed and there are more pieces of play equipment. The long slide has been upgraded and is much faster. A big hit with my grandson. Another very enjoyable visit today.

Lovely farm for families with youngsters. Easter weekend was reasonably busy but with plenty of space to not feel crowded. Farm animals you can feed (bags of food can be purchased with tickets). Couple of play parks. Avg visit probably 3-5 hours.Cafe and garden centre on site.Plenty of parking and easy to find.

Visited the farm trail and the farm shop afterwards. Great for young children; food can be purchased online. An affordable day out with lots of play and animals to encounter. The gravel path up to the entrance was hard work for pushchairs/ wheelchairs would be my only suggestion for improvement but can see all of the effort put into the place. Kiosk staff member was fab too.

A lovely day out, lots of lovely farm animals that are clearly well looked after as well as fantastic sections of park, ride on tractors and sand pit. The cafe was also really lovely, the staff were welcoming and the food was reasonably priced and of good quality. We particularly enjoyed the children's menu as our son is not one for the traditional sandwich so the cheese picnic plate for kids was fantastic! Will definitely go back again!

Great farm. Best I've been to in Suffolk. Lots of animals, a number of good play parks for kids and the feeding stations are fun. Food in restaurant was lovely too.

Amazing that 20 years ago this was a the shop, a single barn and 10 parking spaces. It's a bit bigger now.The shop, spot in for the higher end produce, it's very good quality stuff, definitely not what you get in a supermarket. Prices are reasonable though.Cafe has a good reputation and is always busy.Now the rest... And there is a lot. The animals, loads to see there and to feed. The dinosaurs, yep few of them. The playground, yes, lots of different activities for the kids to do. The maze maze (summer only lol). Fossil hunting. Shop. Cafe. Hot and cold drink vans and when we went a pizza van.Yep, loads going on especially at the weekends and holidays.

Ever expanding and up to date, always a great place to visit. Plenty to do for the kids and plenty of events all year round. The animals are well kept as are all the equipment.

Just got home after lovely visit to hollow trees farm. Due to covid haven't been in couple of years. What a lovely surprise some great changes to the layout, entrance and facilities. Excellent value farm trail at £6.50 each with some old friends like the giant chair and goat mountain plus new climbing Frames and changes to the cresta run tobbogans too. Even saw a calf being born awesome. Had lunch in the cafe and there again few changes to layout but still good value local food some of which comes from the farm or close by. Farm shop too got lovely produce and meats too, I love cheese so pleased with great selection. Got some Somerset cave aged cheddar which we love. Well done to all staff and management thanks for lovely day with my kids and my parents.
