Camper in the orchard field (added by manager 05 aug 2022)

Sunny day (added by manager 05 aug 2022)

Traditional working farm with cider production and microbrewery
Friendly, relaxed atmosphere and views of the Jurassic Coast
Italian restaurant; tickets are extra for summer events and festivals

Fancy the sound of a Dorset farm with its own cider production and cosy restaurant – plus summer events (which you need to buy separate tickets for)? With views of the fably viewsome Jurassic Coast and Bride Valley, adults-only Bredy Farm is also close to beaches, the South West Coast Path, Bridport and Dorchester. You might fancy a pint or two of that, cheers. All these happenings are on a relaxed and friendly working farm with its own microbrewery and cider shed open to the public. It's set up for simple camping, for excellent cider and for parties, at its occasional weekend-long music events (extra charge). Guests pitch up in The Orchard or The Mead on either side of the river Bride. Facilities include running water, a basic cold-water area to wash pots and pans, three portable toilets, four composting toilets, three rustic shower units on The Mead (free to use) as well as two flushing toilets and two modern, high-quality coin-operated showers (located on the main farm). Certainly not basic are the offerings at the farm's Italian restaurant/café, which serves up plates of tasty homemade food, including proper Neapolitan-style pizzas (it's rightly popular so it's best to book ahead, especially if you're travelling in a group). In the summer months, this is a site that's buzzing with energy, with live music, DJs and a bar that's open until 2am. Out of season and midweek, things are generally more chilled around here.

Orchard non-electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch (adults only)

Liked: The location is good. The Parlour restaurant is fantastic.

Disliked: The campsite is out of control. Following the 02:00 end to the bar music the campsite was filled with drunk, drugged-up people shouting & arguing. Music in the camping area went on until dawn both nights of our weekend. The atmosphere was threatening, intimidating and violent. The management had no control and the whole experience was grim.

Mead non-electric grass pitch (adults only)

Liked: Good flat field, relaxed atmosphere and the toilets were eco friendly

Disliked: No campers should be allowed to pitch up after a respectable time. We were rudely awoken by new arrivals who arrived at 1am to pitch up their tent. This is just stupid as our whole group heard the struggle of pitching up their tent. Surely it’s rule that should be respected by everyone. It wasn’t very clear on where to go and who to see. The cardboard signs on the floor weren’t great, and only one shower was hot the other two the burners weren’t working.

Mead non-electric grass pitch (adults only)

Liked: The surrounding are of the site was beautiful, and the food was really good in the Parlour Restaurant, lovely ladies who served us.such a shame it went down hill after this

Disliked: This site has the potential to be amazing, however on arrival it was not clear at all where to go or who to see, once booked in the man told us where to go, there are a few different camping fields, we was on the mead, and we had the worst facilities I have ever seen, Compost toilets and Showers that were actually disgusting, luckily we were self contained, because I could not have used them I was physically gagging, the whole place just looks tidy and unfinished which is such a shame, luckily we went midweek so for us it was very quiet, it's such a shame we had a lovely evening in the Restaurant, but I just couldn't look past the awful facilities on the camp site

Mead non-electric grass pitch (adults only)

Liked: Setting, DIY fire pits, and Bar area. Very friendly staff helped us out with an OS map and directions :) Parlour restaurant food was amazing.

Disliked: Toilets and showers in the Mead were pretty filthy, one show didn't work. Dog mess and litter all over the field and the grass needed a cut

We'll be back for a festival or maybe 2 next year.

Mead non-electric grass pitch (adults only)

Liked: Nice vibe in the Cider Shed/Parlour. Quaint setting on the farm side. Good site for young people who aren't fussy about noise late at night. The Parlour (eatery) looked great - very busy, so ensure you book prior to stay. They offer free camp fires and logs. Pitches were pretty level.

Disliked: No mention of the bank holiday festival in next field. Needs to be much clearer on PitchUp. Didn't appreciate the smell of certain substances smoked by other campers, which was practically everywhere over 3 days. Grass in the fields really needed cutting. Young campers very noisy late at night. Minimal loos and showers were very basic and often a queue.

Local attractions

If you're here for an events weekend, stick around for a bit afterwards to investigate the area: take it as read that your boss will applaud your initiative. Start off by going seawards: the nearest beach and the local stretch of Jurassic Coast are about a mile away in front of Bredy Farm's local village of Burton Bradstock, leading to the famed Chesil Beach. (The award-winning Hive café dishes up seafood in Burton Bradstock too.) If it's Jurassic Coast fossils you're after, the nearby Dinosaurland Fossil Museum in Lyme Regis has piles of specimens in its collection of local Jurassic marine fossils, so meander along here to see what you can sea. More fossily remains are in the Jurassic Coast gallery at nearby Bridport Museum. Piles of other things are around Bredy Farm to see and do, such as the village of Abbotsbury and its swannery, full-size construction machinery driving at Diggerland Devon, seaside towns like Charmouth and Weymouth, and exploring old buildings like Hardy's Cottage. If you're around to shop, local town Bridport has a vintage market on the last Sunday of every month. You might also like to try more of the fizzy stuff if you're around Bredy Farm for a cider weekend, so totter off to a couple of the boozy attractions in the area, such as the tastings and tours of Bridport's Palmer Brewery, founded in 1794, and sampling the sparkling and still wines of Furleigh Estate Wines, producing Dorset wine from its base at Salway Ash.
