So many beautifully looked after donkeys. Friendly volunteers & friendly residents. It's all free so what's not to like & a great place to take your children. Happy to give a donation. Brilliant, even in very chilly January 😀

It’s a loverly place we went back twice the staff are great the shop and cafe were nice and ultimately seeing the donkeys and getting to stroke them and be with them fantastic!

Free entry to an excellent place to spend a miser0able afternoon. It was raining and windy, so the donkeys were in their barns. If you like this sort of thing, which I do, you will find the most peaceful place. Plenty of animals with a lot of information about where they have all come from and how they are recovering. Plus excellent shop and cafe.

Absolutely amazing donkey sanctuary Couldn't believe how big it was. Donkey's really well cared for and lots of room for them to graze Some very sad story's of how the donkey's came to the sanctuary but well cared for and happy. Great cafe and shop too. Free admission but worth a nice donation or adoption We always find something new on the iow each year we come and will return to visit our adopted donkey 🐴

Really lovely sanctutuary with lots of lovely donkeys. It's free to get it in but good to donate to keep this place going. It has a cafe and gift shop. They have an outdoor seating bit with tractors which my daughter loved she also loved the little picnic benches for young children. My daughter loved this place so much she didn't want to leave. Would definitely reccomend a visit.

The family at AtlasAdventured highly recommends visiting here! If you ever find yourself on the Isle of Wight, you definitely have to stop at the Donkey Sanctuary. So many donkeys! And Shetland ponies! We stopped by in October 2023, hoping to attend their halloween event, but due to the rain it was canceled. They still gave the kids a trail hunt to go on and bring back for a special treat! It is free to get in, but it is always a good idea to donate. Let’s keep this sanctuary going! All of the animals are very happy and friendly. Most of the donkeys will come right up to the fence to say hello! You can tell that they are well taken care of. They all have signs attached to their fences which tell you their names and a little bit about themselves. We had a good time finding names that matched some of our family members! The staff was super friendly, the cafe has good healthy food options, plenty of seating, and the gift shop was full of cute stuff! It was very easy to get here. We took the bus and it dropped us off right out front. There is a big parking lot, bathrooms, and is wheelchair friendly. We cannot wait to come back on our next trip to the Isle of Wight.

A wonderfully run sanctuary where you could tell that the care of the animals was at the level of passion. The staff are wonderful and the animals heart warming to see thriving. So worth a visit

Lovely, large facility for retired and rescued donkeys. Joseph stole our heart so we adopted him. A sweet boy. We went back a few days later to see him again before we came home. He came over to the fence for an ear rub which made my day. Entry is free, but please consider giving what you can to support the donkeys, which can be gift-aided. Site has free parking, toilets, a gift shop and a beautiful cafe in a restored barn, with outdoor terrace overlooking a pen with some rams.

My sons and neices loved it here. The pony's and donkeys are so friendly and love to be fussed. The animals appear to be very well cared for 🐴

Lovely clean and friendly donkey sanctuary on the Island. Similar to the other sanctuaries on the mainland but a large number of animals. It was a hot day so there wasn't much scratching of backs to be had but there was a talk available. Cafe is lovely and i had amazing vegan cake and had soya milk too. Even inside the cafe is dog friendly which is nice. Spent a nice few hours wandering around the animals and trying to spot them all on the 'spot the donkey' sheet. Don't forget to gift aid your donation for visiting, the donkeys deserve it.
