  • " We have been to Cattle Country Christmas for the past few years, this year was the absolute best! The Cowshed is incredible, the Christmas magic was spread around the park, and the perfectly executed Father Christmas visit was absolutely magical! All the staff are lovely! The cafe was so well organized with such a short wait for delicious food. We’ve all come away from today beaming and talking about how special it all was. Well done Cattle Country!"
