Unique, Fun, Unforgettable - Not to be missed! - I visited with my daughter, and this was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Scotland. From the moment we arrived, Beccy welcomed us warmly and went to great lengths to ensure we found the location promptly. She made everyone feel at home. She introduced us to her flock of Herdwick sheep, each with their own quirky, mischievous personality. It was so much fun to meet them and learn about what intelligent, amazing creatures they are. Delightful!
The setting itself was breathtaking - a peaceful Scottish countryside and rolling fields. It felt like the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of travel. Afternoon tea was simply wonderful - homemade scones, cakes, and sandwiches that tasted every bit as good as they looked.
What made it unforgettable was the blend of fun and meaning. We left with full hearts, huge smiles, and a memory we will always treasure.
If you’re anywhere near Stirling, this is an absolute must-do. It’s a soulful, one-of-a-kind experience you won’t forget.

Highly Recommend - Such a unique experience, Beccy was so welcoming and could really feel her passion and love for her boys. So much more than just afternoon tea, but also a learning experience and came to appreciate their intelligence against the reputation that they get. The food was also amazing quality with lovely fresh homemade goodies. Meeting the sheep was a lot of fun and we couldn't stop laughing, I definitely had a soft spot for Harrison. Would highly recommend to anyone

If you're looking for a... - If you're looking for a unique and heartwarming experience, I cannot recommend Tea with Naughty Sheep's enough! My partner and I traveled all the way from NYC to Scotland, and this experience quickly became the highlight of our entire trip.
Beccy, our wonderful host, truly made the day unforgettable. She welcomed us into her home with such warmth and kindness, instantly making us feel like part of the family. Not only did we have the chance to enjoy a lovely tea, but we also got to learn about the sheep in such a personal way. Beccy’s passion for her flock is evident, and she shared fascinating insights into their personalities, behaviors, and story. The highlight was, of course, meeting the sheep’s! Each one had its own quirky charm, and we were even lucky enough to feed a precious baby lamb. The setting was absolutely stunning, nestled in the beautiful Scottish countryside. This excursion was much more than just tea with sheep—it was an escape from reality, a way to relax, learn, and most importantly, have a lot of fun.
If you're ever in Scotland, make sure this experience is at the top of your list. Trust me, you’ll leave with a full heart and a huge smile! Thank you, Beccy, for such an unforgettable day!!

You will love this experience! - Words can not describe this experience. As someone who enjoys afternoon tea, I found this a great find to build into our recent road trip in Scotland. It was a highlight as we had tea with six incredible sheep who are very smart. They were a little naughty (expected), which added to the afternoon's fun as you feed the sheep while trying to eat the delicious treats Beccy serves, from scones to sandwiches to sweets. Beccy shares the qualities of sheep, from their sensitivity to reading people to how clever they are in finding our weaknesses and figuring out how to get more food (or scratches). I highly recommend this experience.

Nothing else like it in Scotland! - My mother and I visited on a rainy day in April. What chaotic fun! I can't rate this experience highly enough. If you're a sheep lover, or heck, an animal lover in general, this is the place to visit. Beccy is a fabulous hostess! Her philosophy for life and managing her "friends" (the sheep) is one of peace, love and respect. First, she educates you on the very interesting psyche of the animals, the way they think and how we should interact with them. We learned so much! Then you're introduced to each sheep - what their personality is like and how they like to be petted. (My favorite was sweet little neurodivergent Harrington!). Once the sheep mingle a moment, the chaos begins! Beccy brings out the little tins of seeds and the cute porcelain dishes, and the sheep go from table to table nibbling up whatever they can. It's great fun and a lot of laughs. The "naughtiness" is adorable, until the hot tea and little cakes and goodies for the humans get served to each table. Keeping those little troublemakers safe from the hot tea was a little anxiety-provoking, but all in all, it was so much fun. Sign up for this experience. There's nothing else like it in Scotland! Thank you Beccy!

Absolutely amazing! - What an incredible experience! It was everything I hoped it would be and more. We chose to park at the Black Bull Gartmore (a lovely pub) and walk up to the farm, as we had a small and low car. The walk is lovely. The sheep are such a delight. You really get a sense of their personalities and how intelligent they are. When the food comes out, they are very naughty (in the best possible way)! All of the (human) food was also delicious, from scones and cakes to savory toasts. We even got to bottle feed the lambs. I never wanted to leave - can't recommend this experience highly enough!

Wonderful tea with very naughty sheep! - This was one of the most delightful events I’ve ever gotten to experience! Beccy was so incredibly thoughtful and she truly loves and cares for her naughty sheep! Our tea was delicious and the naughty sheep made tea very fun and challenging to eat (one of the sheep Finn insisted on getting on the table!) and my family and I laughed our way through our visit. Highly recommend meeting Beccy and the sheep for an adventure that isn’t to be missed!

Worthwhile and relaxing! - Such a fantastic experience! We even got to feel lambs. The sheep were really quite naughty, as advertised. Love the host and environment. Very peaceful and mindful.
