Helena is a lovely host and provided the biggest strawberries we've ever seen and some lovely vegan chocolates. A variety of hot tricks are on offer but we chose a nice cold squash!

Please be mindful before booking that pigs are intelligent and emotional animals, so explain to children should you want to bring them, so this great little adventure can keep going with longevity :)

Thank you for the great time!

Julia was fantastic, so welcoming and accommodating! As my partner and I booked last minute, I wasn’t very well equipped but Julia went above and beyond to make it a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend this activity for anyone thinking about it!

  My partner and I went on the lovely dinky donkey walk with Julia. The donkeys were so sweet and we had a beautiful autumnal stroll through the countryside with them.... read more I would highly recommend this to animal lovers and anyone who enjoys an unusual day out. The walk was leisurely and not at all difficult, but I would highly suggest wearing waterproofs and wellies. I will be back in the near future as I have fallen in love with Maverick and Goose.

  What a wonderful way to spend a few hours! We visited and walked the miniature donkeys and despite getting lost and being late, Julia was wonderfully welcoming when we arrived.... read more The donkeys were an absolute delight and very friendly and after learning about them and getting to give them a good brush, Goose and Maverick were kitted up with our lunches and off we went. We walked for maybe 30 minutes and then sat on a blanket and ate our snacks whilst looking out at the beautiful views before heading back. Julia did a great job at taking lots of photographs of us and sending them on the next day and we really had a wonderful day. We left feeling so happy and would recommend this to anyone who has a love of animals! A truly unique and magical experience!

  We had a wonderful afternoon getting to know and walking with the Dinky Donkeys! You can tell how passionate Julia is about her animals and I'm so glad she wanted... read more to share them with us. She took some great pictures of us on the walk as well which was greatly appreciated. The directions provided were appreciated and perfect to find Julia. We had a wonderful afternoon and highly recommend any of the activities with Good Day Out!

  I booked a two hour 'Walk A Miniature Donkey' trip with Julia, and her two 'Dinkys', Maverick & Goose - it was £70 in total for my partner & I,... read more and absolutely worth every penny.

We started off with a friendly chat with Julia, who clearly thinks the world of her donkeys, and then moved on to a grooming session, with a chance to get a hug from Maverick. Yes, an actual real cuddle from a donkey... just bend down, rub his ears, and he'll respond by looping his chin over your shoulder, tilting his head, and pulling you in for a special 'donkey cwtch'. I think it was at this point my other half fell in love. It's now five days later, and I'm still trying to explain why we can't keep a miniature donkey in our garden in Hampshire...

This was followed by a good walk through the countryside - we led Maverick's little brother Goose, who was clever enough to shove us into the boggy parts whilst he took the firm path... hilarious. As stated, it was a little muddy - as you would expect in March - but nothing a good pair of walking boots couldn't handle.

We sat down to eat the lunch kindly provided (Welsh cakes, crisps, fruit, cereal bar and a soft drink), whilst the donkeys took the opportunity to scoff as much grass/brambles as they could. The return route took a diversion via a stream, where Maverick had an argument with a fallen tree. The afternoon ended with 15 mins or so watching the Dinks run around their field having a good play before giving them a treat with some apple cores.

This is a totally different experience to just seeing them at a petting zoo - you really get to interact with the animals, and appreciate their individual characters; equal parts adorable, intelligent, sneaky, playful & stubborn with just a little hint of feisty for good measure.

I really can't recommend highly enough; Julia was a amiable, informative and welcoming host, and this was one of the highlights of our trip to the Brecons.

Thank you for a lovely afternoon.
