A aimé : Lovely family campsite. Friendly and approachable hosts, even offered us some firewood for free. The kids were in their element as we were able help bottle feed the lambs, cuddle the chickens and say hi to the Pygmy goats. We also got to witness the tractor come and get the grass ready for the hay baler! Our two boys were overjoyed and Owl Barn Farm campsite made their first experience of camping the best ever! Even the toilets weren’t as bad as I was expecting from a ‘basic’ campsite. They were clean and had hand wash and washing up liquid to clean utensils. Make sure you head over the road in the morning to Touchdown Cafe for a great fry up whilst watching the planes and helicopters. Then definitely wonder over to the small aircraft museum next door. Thank you so much guys!! We will be back for sure!

N'a pas aimé: Nothing to dislike!

A aimé : Relaunched our camping expeditions after umpteen years of being in a caravan. Decided on this site as its close to our daughters who was on hand if we got into any trouble setting up the new Air Tent. Site very easy to find via SatNav. Very friendly hosts upon arrival who explained everything on site & offered us various pitches to choose from. Pitches are massive & flat. As the name of the site suggests & clearly states in their description, this is a working farm so any daily routines required to be done by the staff must be completed for the welfare of their animals & their crops, not for the benefit of campers. To this end, our 2 Grandchildren who joined us for an overnight stay without their parents absolutely loved this site. From petting the pigmy goats to rounding up chickens & to even being offered to hand feed the lambs by the very friendly Eve. Our Grandson was in his element when the young farmer invited him into the cab of his tractor for a press of his horn. During our stay we were notified in advance by the owner who was very apologetic when telling us that the field had to be lined & bailed that evening as the weather was turning bad, so it had to be done that evening. Again, the kids loved watching the tractors churning up the fields & producing the bails of hay to be collected & stored. This was a great insight into farming for the little ones & the true meaning of a "working farm". I struggled with WIFI around the site (ID provider) but my wife didn't (EE provider). But this wasn't a real problem to be fair & clearly not a site problem. The facilities are adequate for a site in its infant stages but it is clearly obvious that there are ongoing building of extensions taking place for the future. The Gents facilities are basic but do have coin operated showers (50p piece for 5 minutes) which is clearly stated on the booking page & you can even pre order your 50p coins if you wish. Washing facilities are a bit of a hit & miss with the Belfast sink with hot water inside the ladies block & a Belfast sink outside the barn but only with a cold water pipe. We did experience no hot water in the ladies facilities at times but again, we managed & it wasn't a major problem for us. During our stay we saw the Goat Yoga taking place which was very well attended. We also asked if we could stay an extra night as we were needed at my daughters for an extra day & this was agreed without any hesitation. As we were the only campers on site, we were told by the host that we could both use the Ladies facilities instead if separate ones. These facilities were brilliant with extra touches that were very much appreciated. Overall , we found this site perfect for a visit to the area & on a working farm where the hosts encourage the little ones to get involved with the animals, run by very friendly hosts plus their staff members. We will return next year without a doubt & look forward to using the new facilities that are planned. Good luck to all at Owl Brown Farm for the future.

N'a pas aimé: Washing facilities at present just need re jigging but not a deal breaker & the plans are in place to rectify.

A aimé : I was welcomed by the owner who was really nice as were all of the family as were the sheep and chickens who also welcomed me. Nice location will definitely camp there again. Facilities were clean and suited my needs very well.

A aimé : Has everything you need for a relaxing weekend in nature. Dark skies for star gazing, clean toilets, great location and set in a lovely landscape. The owners were very friendly and we even got to pet the goats and on site sheep.

A aimé : The owners are really friendly and helpful. Was made to feel very welcome. The pitch sizes are great. This is a lovely peaceful campsite. Being able to interact with the animals on site is a standout feature, great for everyone both young and old.

A aimé : Lovely location appox 15 mins from Stratford Great size pitches that are well spread out Owner very friendly Great for families

N'a pas aimé: Toilet and shower block- much to our disappointment the showers were really dirty, they did not look like they had been cleaned at all over the bank holiday weekend. We didn't expect luxury as on a farm etc but did expect them to be clean.

A aimé : Massive pitch placed well away from the neighbouring tent. The owner was friendly and approachable and stopped for a natter whilst we washed up; it’s a lovely peaceful site where you can relax to the sounds of happy animals. Had we had more time we would have definitely booked a goat yoga session! The water in the toilet block is really hot (maybe a bit too hot when you’re not expecting it) and the site allowed us a one night stay as a stopover, very unusual in high season.

N'a pas aimé: The site is a work in progress with plans underway to develop and improve it, we plan to return once the work is complete. For now, the washing up area is uncovered with only cold water from an extremely powerful jet, had we not been warned by a fellow camper we would have got soaked. There is only one sink which did cause a queue but it was a good opportunity to chat to other campers.

A aimé : The people who ran the camp site were lovely and very helpful. Although a basic site it was fantastic value for money and the facilities were clean and well maintained. The camp spots had loads of spaces between them and the animals on site were really friendly.
