Lasting between 1 and 2 hours, our farm tours and experiences take you to meet the animals and explore the farm. Speak to our very own farmers Donald and Ailsa, collect the morning eggs or feed the alpacas – we can tailor our tours entirely to you!
Our farm tours are like a back-stage tour of a real working farm, guided by one of our team. Help with our day-to-day farm work like feeding the animals or collecting the eggs, whilst learning all about how farm life changes with the seasons.
The tours are taken in groups. If you’re visiting as a group, tell us a little about yourselves and we can tailor the tour specifically to you.
Duration:
1.5hrs.
Our Arran farm experiences are self-guided and allow you to explore certain parts of the farm at your own leisure. Meet the animals, tour the machinery we use on the farm, and learn all about the Arran food story: what we’re known for, how our produce is used, and what grows well in the local climate.
We also have a dedicated outdoor picnic and play area, so once you’re done exploring you can sit down to enjoy a bite to eat.
Duration:
Flexible but we recommend at least 1 hour.
Our new “Barley to Bottle” tour is a two-site tour beginning at Bellevue where visitors will hear the barley story and how this fits into the Bellevue farming system. After a photo opportunity with some of the animals, including highland cows, the tour moves to the Lagg distillery where you will have a tour of the distillery and see the process of distilling. The tour finishes with a whisky tasting experience.
This tour is ideal for anyone wanting to immerse themselves in the full whisky story and takes place on Wednesdays at 11am. Strong footwear should be worn, this tour is only suitable for those over 18 years of age.
Duration: 4 hours
Lunch optional

If you’re joining our farm tour, please bring wellies and waterproofs if the forecast is rain. If you’re joining our farm experience, please wear sensible footwear.
Yes, we welcome large parties. But we ask that you get in touch with us before your trip so that we may organise in advance of your arrival.
Our tour is a guided walk around the farmyard, finishing in the barn with a coffee. Guests of the tour will take part in tasks like feeding the animals or collecting eggs – it’s more hands on than the farm experience.
The experience still allows you to meet the animals and explore the farm but in your own time and with less supervised activities. Perhaps more suited to younger families.
Yes, you can feed the animals on both our farm tour and experience, but the feeding is more involved on the tour.
We now have the Bellevue Barn, which means we have the perfect undercover spot for when the weather’s bad as we can then carry out many of our tour activities in a sheltered space. It actually makes a trip to Bellevue Farm the ideal place to visit on those rainy days on Arran.
Well behaved dogs are welcome to join our farm experiences, but not our farm tours.
The farm ground, in our experience, is suitable for both buggies and pushchairs. On the tours there is some rough ground and a particularly steep slope, but most buggies still manage.
Our barn has disabled toilets and parking.
If you’re considering joining one of our tours or experiences, please call or email to discuss beforehand. There are some spots where wheelchair movement may be difficult, but we seek to accommodate everyone, wherever we can.
While you’re relaxing in our barn you can enjoy a range of teas, coffees, juices, milkshakes, biscuits and freshly baked cakes.
Yes, we sell our own home-reared lamb, pork, goat meat, and eggs which are available at the farm or on our online shop.
Our tour takes 1.5 to 2 hours. We recommend 1 to 1.5 hours for our farm experience but it can take as long as you like, since it’s self-guided.
