We all had a fantastic time! We picked strawberries, there wasn't many left, but it's busy and there was loads of new ones coming into bloom. We had a lovely lunch and the girls played for a bit at the park – they loved the trampolines. Fantastic day!

We visited the pumpkin patch, picked yellow raspberries, played pumpkin bowling and played in the park then ate lunch in the cafe. It was so organised and the staff really went above and beyond to make you feel welcome. We will definitely be back, thank you so much.
– Laura Newman –
Our first ever pumpkin patch experience and we were not disappointed, we couldn’t believe how many different things there was to do! Think we’ve found our new yearly tradition! Thank you for creating a new family memory that we can continue to do.
– Dionne Robertson –
Had a wonderful morning in the pumpkin patch, then playing in the park followed by a lovely lunch alfresco! Staff always very friendly, efficient and helpful. The sweet potato, chilli and lentil soup was amazing! Highly recommend this very well run establishment.
– Helen Brown –
The weather was dreich but the welcome was very warm. The lady who served us was lovely and very attentive. We sat outside which was lit up and we were asked if we wanted blankets to keep warm. We had coffee and cake (the caramel apple tart was well worth it, so delicious) very reasonable too. Left hubby outside with the dog and had a browse round their Christmas shop, took ages and couldn't decide on what to buy!
– Mandy Clark –
It's an amazing place with great atmosphere, friendly staff and owners, nothing is a hassle, lots of activities for families throughout the year. Entry is free so you have more pennies left to spend on treating kids and yourself.
– Izabela Julia –
From calling in advance to ask about booking tables, to the excellent food and service, brilliant play area and generally lovely vibe. I couldn’t recommend this place enough! We felt so looked after. The food was varied, great quality and well priced.
– Rhonda McCrimmon –
Loads to do for children of all ages. Fruit picking is an added experience. Great food and very helpful staff. Good to see Charleton being so successful. Down to hard work and commitment of owners and staff.
– Jenny McGlynn –
Warm welcoming staff and owners made a recent family wedding a fabulous personal day to remember. Service, food, venue were all excellent, can’t rare them highly enough. Good luck in all future events.

Lovely day spent here with the kids. Picked pumpkins and then played in the park which the kids absolutely loved! Then for lunch, lovely fresh well cooked meals. Just delightful. After lunch we went and picked some blackberries to make Jam with! We will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic time at the farm! Inside the cafe looks lovely, they have a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The menu was great with something for everyone. The service was top notch and every staff member was really informative and friendly, they made us feel very welcome during our time here. After lunch we went strawberry picking in the fields which was a great time and a really nice way to spend the day.

A must try - fresh strawberry tart with cream. Then out to pick some fresh berries. Very good play area for the children. A well stocked shop, which includes not only home grown produce but also a selection of homewares and toys. Recommend a visit.

I have been there so many times with my family and friends. They have a great place for kids to play and great food to eat. They are so kind and friendly and try to help all the time when we needed something. Thanks to everybody who works and runs there.

Lovely bowl of soup and beautifully presented sweets - very tasty. Staff really friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Children having a great time in the play area that seems to be well fenced off. Enjoyed my visit very much.

Great food, really nice staff, great location and the strawberry tarts are to die for. The restaurant is dog friendly too. Highly recommend a visit.
– Marc McPhee –
Everything is handmade and fresh! The apple strudel was to die for, soft and moist! The brownie was the perfect antidote for my sugar craving! There is also a little shop on site, so you can take home with you all these sweet little sins! It was certainly worth the detour!
– Gregor Godevenos –
Don't know why we haven't been here before. Really nice place. Nicely decorated with pumpkins, friendly staff & delicious food (soup & panini). Nice that you can sit in the outside area with your dog. Great farm shop as well. We will definitely be back.

If you are near Montrose you must stop here whether to pick your own or for a meal. Very kid friendly with a huge play park, staff are polite, clean, tidy, chatty and friendly. Such a lovely place to visit and have lunch. Kids play outside where there is so many games. T

– O River –
Lovely farm where you can eat fair-priced breakfast and lunch. The eggs, bread, fruits and other ingredients are directly from the farm - they even blend their own coffee! Very child and dog-friendly place with pick-your-own options depending on the season and farm shop.
– Anna Carina Schmidt –
What a fantastic place to take your kids to! The coffee and scones are super yummy. Chloe, our waitress, was just fab and so funny. I had to bribe my kids to take them back to the car and go back home, they had so much fun there. We will be definitely going back there!
