The Orange Elephant Ice Cream

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! If you have a nut allergy, fear not they reassured me that they have no nuts at all in their ice creams which made my daughter so happy. My daughter has to stare at her siblings eating ice cream very often unable to eat a lot of ice creams herself because of the risk of cross contamination. Orange Elephant Ice Cream is the best ever ice cream parlour because it caters for absolutely everyone including customers with a nut allergy. They are super friendly too and the play area and meadow are incredible for children. A nice addition would be a vegan chocolate ice cream as I avoid dairy and don't like sorbets very much but that's not currently available. Amazing place and seeing my daughter happy made me happy.

First time visiting the orange elephant and my girls had lots of fun in the play areas and maze. The one thing I was very disappointed with was the lack of dairy free alternatives. My daughter cannot have any diary and the only other option for her was raspberry sorbet! For an established ice cream shop I would have expected a wider choice for the dairy free or vegan community.

Visited for the first time today and left with mixed opinions.*Ice cream and milk shake were super tasty and reasonably priced!However...*Baby changing facilities were super dirty and hard to change a baby in the corner next to the toilet that has no lid. We couldn't even move the table angle to help the situation.*With a long queue for ice cream there could be more boards to help decide when you wait to prevent a back log at the serving desk as the paying till was empty for ages.*pay and play is a bit ridiculous. It's mainly aimed at older children who can climb which is fantastic for them, however toddler swings were broken or not working. It's so sunny in the meadow with no shade or umbrellas to enjoy the space as a family. Animals look bored. It's basically loads of sand pits, slides and swings which you can get at a local park for free. If you were getting something more then it would be worth the money.I will only be returning for ice cream unless something else changes, which is disappointing as I had heard such great things.

Visiting Orange Elephant ice cream is the result of passing the huge plastic elephant (now orange with a cone, it was previously pink with a slide by the side of the M5 just south of Exeter on the north bound side) so many times over the years I have lost count.Anyway the ice cream is very good, huge range of flavours and not just the usual suspects, we had a sundae (banana split) - really nice, service and prices good.There is a play barn, not investigated, a field/orchard also not checked (extra cost but good for small ice cream eaters).Outside and inside eating areas, toilets etc.The buildings etc could be renovated some more however it is also a working farm and the ice cream is very good.Beware not open every day, check before going to avoid disappointment.

A lovely little gem in a quiet area off the motorway. Delicious ice cream with a wide selection of choice of flavour. I had sticky toffee, chocolate, and salted caramel. All 3 of them were incredibly creamy and flavourful. Loads of seating with fun activities for kids, a lovely way to spend a few hours of your day with your family. I will 100% be back next time I visit Devon

Love the orange elephant and have their annual membership which I think is very reasonably priced in comparison to other farm style family day's out. With the new all weather barn we still had a great time despite the rain. Fab ice creams and also enjoyed the maize maze even.... def teccomend wellies if its not sunny though!!

Lovely place, delicious ice cream - we've always seen the orange elephant but have never been - we'll definitely come back again

Amazing variety and quality ice cream.Loads of activities for children for a really reasonable price. They even had a Maize Maze this summer.

The best ice cream you’ll ever eat!This place is hidden if you don’t know about it, just off the A38 advertised by the orange elephant at the side of the road.The orange elephant is an ice cream barn, with ice cream produced by cows bred for that purpose. Very creamy and not at all grainy with plenty of flavours to choose from. On the farm are animals and a maze you can pay to see for a very low price. There is also an area for children to play. All of the members of staff are friendly and helpful and there are also some very sweet farm kittens you might be lucky to see. One of my favourite places

Lovely place to visit. Ideally suited to families, with open grounds and swings and slides. The ice cream parlour was busy and the ice creams were certainly first class. Brilliant staff, easy parking just outside, country setting and a great place for at least a few hours. I would go again.
