We look forward to seeing you again, perhaps you can stay for 2 nights and enjoy walks along the river.

Em va agradar Area, nearby river, all facilities, great location

We look forward to your next visit.

Em va agradar Location tranquility river

Del gerent: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and sharing your photo of your stay this weekend, I am glad you were not in the same field as the large group who gave us a score of 1/10 and you managed to find a different part of the river to get access to.
We hope to see you again soon.

Em va agradar Friendly people lovely place great atmosphere very clean

Em va agradar Location and plenty of space to pitch.

No em va agradar Upon arrival at reception I was given a map and blue card. I was told the code to the shower block/ toilets. The gentleman didn’t seem that happy but I thought maybe he was having a bad day. I said that I hadn’t camped here before and was meeting with family. He said you can pitch up anywhere. I travelled across the fields and met up with my family and friends, some had been there overnight the rest came on the same day. Myself, daughter and grandson arrived last so everyone came over to help put up our tent. Whilst we were busy the lady from reception approached us looking very irate saying that we were blocking a public right of way. We said we were not aware of this and there was no signage to indicate this and I politely pointed out that I had just been told in reception I could pitch anywhere. She then proceeded to tell us that they were understaffed and ‘ Do you know how busy it is’. If we were made aware we would not of camped in that spot. We had left plenty of room for people to get down to the river with their paddle boards canoes etc. and some walked through our camp which we didn’t have a problem with. The lady was very unprofessional and unapproachable saying that we were inconveniencing her guests. She tried arguing with us saying we had already been asked to move our vehicles a few hours before, every time we tried to speak she just shouted over us. She eventually left us. Later that evening the gentleman from reception who was doing the evening rounds again approached us telling us to move our vehicles from where the lady had said to put them earlier. He was unsteady on his feet and appeared intoxicated. We asked him where he would like them moved in the morning as the owners couldn’t move them because they had had a few drinks. The next morning we were shouted at again by the lady about blocking the path again but it was a vehicle left by other camp users. She went off to find them down the river without even an apology. Friday evening the group next to us were chopping wood at midnight in the woods and played music until 2/30 am we did not complain. Management didn’t come and treat them how we were treated. On Saturday we played music on a big speaker until we were asked to turn it off. We then played music quietly on a small radio. The lady returned to us grabbing our radio shouting at us all asking how to turn it off. She was going to confiscate it until morning. We asked for it back because we were all getting ready to go to sleep. The gentleman also approached us and we noticed that they were both intoxicated. How are they able to manage a campsite if they are both intoxicated each night we were there. Yes we should of turned the music off earlier but they had it in for us the minute we arrived. Whilst asking for the radio back the women became very aggressive and ended up strangling a 16 year old and breaking her necklace. The police did attend which we were grateful for and have told us that she couldn’t take our property as that was theft and she shouldn’t of strangled a child and that we could pursue an assault charge. In the morning another group of campers the other side of us said that even though they were glad that the music did go off they were willing to give a statement to the police as they had heard everything and that the management treated us appallingly. I think The Hop Farm need to educate the management in how you communicate with your paying customers and not find excuses for any negative feedback. You also need to employ more staff as the current ones can’t keep up with the work load especially if they are drinking each evening. I was sober the whole weekend unlike your management who seem to have got the facts a bit muddled. I also wonder why do people feel the need to comment on what happened that weekend and lie and stay anonymous !

Em va agradar We had a very relaxing weekend the site was very nice staff was very friendly and helpful the toilets and showers were very clean we would stay again

Del gerent: Thank you for choosing to stay with us this last weekend 11th and 12th July and that you enjoyed yourselves.
We look forward to welcoming you again.

Em va agradar We stayed by the river — perfect for morning coffee with a view or a sunset by the fire.
Sue and Tim very friendly and helpful, thank you.

No em va agradar Nothing

Del gerent: Thank you for choosing to stay with us this last weekend 11th and 12th July and that you enjoyed yourselves. I am so glad that you chose to be in a quiet field.
We look forward to welcoming you again.

Em va agradar Loved the amount of free space - we stayed in one of the fields with no electric and this was fine for us . Ample fields and spaces to chose - we literally pitched our tent in a corner where the shade moved round - we had access to the river and the kids loved the swings . Took our paddle boards with us .

Em va agradar Good facilities, lovely walk along the River. Great for kayaking and paddle
boards. Plenty of space to play. Pub round the corner and we even got to go to the boot fair that was on the ground.

No em va agradar Our electric hook up plot was not very big. Would have struggled if we had our kids with us too.

The Electric pitches are quite small 7m x 7m and close together. Many guests choose non-electric and bring either foldable solar panels or battery packs for electric, they also bring toilet tents if they want to stay further away from the facilities.
We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Em va agradar We absolutely love coming to stay here. It is such a huge area that you are never on top of anyone else. There is so much freedom for our children to play. We love taking a walk down alongside the water and looking for the canoes and waving to passers by.
The toilets and showers are always available in both blocks, you rarely have to queue up and wait. They’re cleaned regularly so that’s never an issue for us.
We love the weekend boot fairs too, breaks up the stay for us. Overall it’s a 10/10. We have been staying for five years and will continue to come back again.

No em va agradar The only things we dislike is that they don’t offer WiFi but we can understand that with how big the site is. We’d also like to see something like a fridge/freezer area for us to re-freeze our ice blocks on the non electric pitches. We really like the look of the other field but it’s too far to the shower and toilet blocks to walk, we’d like if there was another block available in the other field. And we’d also love if they offered a storage solution to store our camping equipment there. We camp there nearly every weekend in the summer and struggle to fit everything in the car. We’d happily pay to store things there ☺️

Del gerent: Thank you for your loyalty in choosing to stay with us especially this last stay of the weekend of the 11th and 12th July.
Unfortunately the office is too small to provide a fridge/freezer, we have a small ice box guests are welcome to use and sell ice.
Many guests bring toilet tents for evening/night time use so they can be in the fields further away. It would be lovely if there was some storage area here as there are quite a few people who would take advantage of this, I will pass this on to the manager.
We look forward to welcoming you again.
