Thank you so much for a fantastic experience today we had lunch in the Bistro and it was fabulous, sitting watching the was a great start to our trip. The 1 hour trip into the park was memorable and a must do. Don't miss out on such a great experience We took a with Logan as our driver and guide. It was excellent - he was knowledgeable and helpful and we were delighted to see so many of the beautiful creatures around us. The views from the higher ground are amazing too. If you're planning a visit, I'd also recommend you fit in a lunch in the cafe - a great choice and the food was lovely. Bainloch is an absolute must if you are in the area. The come right up to the 4x4 you are in and your guide will answer any questions you have about the animals. The guided around the hills of the farm is something else. With over 600 on the property, there are plenty of them to see. Once back at the visitor centre, the cafe is excellent, the staff super friendly and they even have a really fun escape room! You can also buy food and feed the that are always congregating for a cheeky wee snack! Great value for money and a great day out, whatever the weather! Words can't describe how amazing this place is. We opted to take the in a 4x4 and the guide was very knowledgeable (can't recall his name but he's the grandson of the guy who founded the park). Beautiful animals to see in such vast surroundings... and so close too !! If you’re looking for a truly memorable countryside experience, this family-run park is a must-visit. From the moment we arrived, the warmth and friendliness of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome—like visiting an old friend rather than booking a tour. The highlight, without a doubt, was the one-hour guided led by owner Richard, whose depth of knowledge about and local wildlife was nothing short of captivating. His storytelling, paired with the tranquil beauty of animals in their natural habitat, kept us so engaged that the hour flew by in what felt like minutes. Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, a curious visitor, or just looking for a serene outing, this park delivers in spades. We left feeling enriched and inspired—and will absolutely be returning. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended! A massive thanks go to the staff at Bainloch park especially Lee...she was more than accommodating and welcoming was absolutely outstanding. Going well above and beyond our expectation, the safari was amazing so upclose and personal with the so intimate, the information given was so detailed. We had lunch in the cafe... the food was brilliant, well worth the money, can't wait to return, thank you so much Lee, from the Keir family D.O.V 28/9/2025 We had a brilliant lunch at the café, not a long wait time at all. Lovely atmosphere and gorgeous view from the café. Perfect for families, couples, everybody really! Then we booked a tour, and it was fantastic! Very passionate and knowledgeable guide, who made us feel very welcome and we left feeling very well informed. 10/10 recommend. Visited while staying at a local holiday house and couldn't recommend enough. We booked both the escape room and the 4x4 experience and both were fantastic. We got there early so we had coffee and treats in the cafe and bought some food for the that you can feed from the balcony. We did the escape room first and it was loads of fun. The puzzles were challenging enough but not impossible. Finished in time but not fast enough to make the leader board! The staff member who was our 'forest fairy' was very funny and helpful but sadly I can't remember their name (beard and tattoos). The 4x4 experience was great, got very up close to see the and the driver, Richard, was friendly and knowledgeable.
