If you’ve ever dreamed of hugging a Highland cow (and honestly, who hasn’t?), this Highland Cow Cuddling Experience with Afternoon Tea in Shropshire for Two is the ultimate treat. It’s wholesome, heart-warming, and absolutely perfect for animal lovers looking for something a bit different.
Set on a beautiful Shropshire farm, you’ll be welcomed with a friendly health and safety briefing before the fun really begins. Then it’s time to meet the stars of the show, a small fold of pedigree Highland cows, each with their own big personalities and glorious fringes. These beautiful creatures have impressive Yorkshire lineage, linked to prize-winning stock, and they absolutely love attention.
You’ll get up close and personal with them in their paddock, feeding, grooming, and giving them a good old fuss. Whether you’re snapping selfies with your new shaggy friends or enjoying a quiet moment brushing their silky coats, it’s a truly unique experience that’ll leave you grinning from ear to ear.
After your cow cuddles, you’ll sit down to a delicious locally made afternoon tea, beautifully presented in a boxed picnic-style spread. Think freshly baked cakes, sandwiches, and sweet treats, all washed down with a proper cuppa. You can enjoy it in the farm café or head outside to take in the sweeping Shropshire countryside views.
Don't forget to take a look around the rest of the farm to meet the other animals too!
Perfect for couples or friends who fancy doing something a little bit different, this experience is as relaxing as it is memorable. It’s a brilliant way to slow down, reconnect with nature, and spend time with one of Britain’s most charming breeds.
Whether you’re searching for an unusual gift for someone who loves animals or simply fancy treating yourself to a day out with a twist, this Highland Cow Cuddling Experience with Afternoon Tea is moo-ch too good to miss.

We had a great time with the Highland Cows, and John was a brilliant host, highly knowledgeable and shows a real love for the cows. The cows themselves were fab, super charming and each had their own unique personality (and fabulous fringe)
We would highly recommend to anyone who fancies getting to know some incredible animals! Also the afternoon tea box was fantastic! Definitely book as part of your package - everything was super tasty x

Cow cuddling was great! The cows were all very friendly and seemed happy to be there. There is a fence in between you and the cows so more ‘cow feeding’ than cuddling. You can also brush them. We were not rushed at all, I think we were with them about 45minutes in total. Loads of time for photos etc.
We had the afternoon tea booked too which was nicely presented in a box. There was a mix up as they hadn’t received my email to book a vegetarian one however my boyfriend isn’t a huge cake person so he had the savoury meat bits and I had extra cake and John the owner said we could have additional free drinks to make up for the error.
Looking to come again with some more people who we think would enjoy it.

I ABSOLUTELY loved my time here. Feeding the sheep, goats and other animals before going to the main event "Highland Cow Cuddling and Brushing". There wasn't loads of people at one time so got plenty of time and they were very receptive to a cuddle/stroke/brush. The cream tea was huge and incredibly tasty!

Omg I was in love with all the animals but my favourite was the highland cows they are alot smaller then the ones in Scotland but thank you all so much I loved any minute of beening at the frankly farm tours

Had a lovely day despite being a little disappointed that there was a wooden fence between me and the highland cows, I was expecting to be able to get closer in a more intimate environment, but can understand that as she was pregnant and probably unpredictable. The afternoon tea was amazing and all the staff were very friendly as was Geoffrey the alpaca lol!
