Michelle
"First time at wild river with my puppy and I highly recommend it! We enjoyed the whole experience, not only did It let my puppy run freely, he got to interact with other dogs which was great fun for him. I got tips and lots of questions answered from the staff as this is our first puppy. So helpful! Also highly recommend visiting the coffee shop - the homemade sausage rolls are a must try!"
Megan
“the perfect place to bring your dog. I have two pups who do not play well with others so having the private field for them to run free off lead is fantastic. The cafe has amazing drinks on offer and a stunning seating area with a log burner. it was the first time I was ever able to sit with my dogs and finish a drink - they were so calm. It is dog heaven, even for tricky dogs like mine ”
