If you’re a fan of afternoon tea, we have a unique experience for you. Ever dreamed of enjoying afternoon tea in the company of Highland cows? Yorkshire’s Windmill Retreats is offering just that. Nestled just outside Harrogate, the retreat is home to a truly unique experience where guests can savour homemade cakes and bakes while spending time with some of the friendliest cows around.
The experience begins with visitors getting the chance to get up close and personal with the Highland cows, feeding them their own tasty treats. Once the cows have had their fill, it’s time for guests to tuck into their own feast. The spread, which is a proper Yorkshire portion, is freshly baked in nearby Pateley Bridge, includes everything from classic sandwiches and sausage rolls to indulgent brownies, fondant fancies, and, of course, traditional scones with tea. The selection is generous and varied, with the fondant fancies being a standout favourite.
After tea, the fun continues back in the field. Guests can help groom the Highland cows before taking a gentle stroll around the farm to meet the other residents. Alongside the iconic shaggy-haired cows, you’ll also encounter alpacas, sheep, and even pigs, all of which you get the chance to feed.
For animal lovers, Windmill Retreats offers a perfect blend of delicious Yorkshire baking and unforgettable farmyard company. Whether you’re a local or visiting the area, this experience is one that’s bound to leave you smiling long after the last crumb of cake has been enjoyed.
Not only that, but the farm also has a range of shepherd’s huts and geodomes on offer, so you can extend your stay for an unforgettable trip away.
