Bowhayes Farm Camping

Em va agradar Everything! Beautiful setting among the Orchard, bed was super comfy! Bathroom was the most luxurious camping bathroom we've ever used and the kitchen area had everything you needed including milk alternative, oil for cooking and salt and pepper. The owner Howard was really welcoming and helpful (also sells delicious local ciders!) And we were greeted immediately by their lush ginger cat Simba who was so friendly and such a character! It's a great base to explore the local area - lots of suggestions for food, wildlife etc. Provided by owners) - just half hour or so to Lyme Regis and around 10 minutes to Sidmouth. Recommended 100%, we'd love to stay again!

No em va agradar Nothing! Well maybe the hill up to the tent but that's because I'm unfit and nothing to do with the site 😂 they provide a wheel barrow which was helpful to take our stuff up to the site too!

Del gerent: Hi Bethany,

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re really pleased you enjoyed your stay in 'Dabinett' the bell tent and that the farm, facilities, and comfy bed all hit the mark.

It’s lovely to hear that you felt welcome — we really enjoy meeting our guests and helping make their stay special. Your photos are brilliant too; they capture the orchard beautifully!

We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime for another peaceful orchard escape.

Del gerent: Hey Hannah!

It was our pleasure having you to stay. We’re so glad you enjoyed the set-up and found the orchard peaceful, and it’s great to know the local food tips came in handy too!

The orchard changes a lot through the seasons — spring blossom and autumn apples make it feel like a different place altogether — so you’d be very welcome back any time!

Thanks,

Howard

Em va agradar Clear instructions pre-arrival, a warm welcome from the hosts, a beautiful & secluded pitch, our bell tent was perfectly clean and well furnished. The bed was v cosy & comfortable. The nearby camp kitchen was really handy, toilets & showers were clean. A firepit rounded off the whole experience. Location is great, lots of things to see & do nearby. We hope to be back!

Em va agradar You camp in-between the orchard trees, it's very beautiful. Shower was amazing, it was wild with the luxury of hot water. Plum and pear trees dotted around. We saw some deers and heard owls, a peaceful break from everyday life. So much to do in the surrounding area. We would love to come back. Thankyou!

No em va agradar We pitched up on a bit of a slope, not thinking it was as much of a slope initially . We noticed this a lot at night time. However I accept this was 100% our fault.

Del gerent: Thanks so much, Jordan — we’re really pleased you enjoyed camping among the orchard trees and that the wildlife, peace, and hot shower all helped make it a proper break.

Good spot on the slope — there are some flatter pitches tucked in between the trees, so if you come back just give us a shout when you arrive and we’ll help you find the best spot.

We’d love to welcome you back whenever you’re ready for another orchard escape.

Regards,

Howard

Em va agradar Friendly, informative and welcoming. A perfect basis site. Clean.
The shower is bliss, hot, powerful and connected to the outdoors, you can almost pick plums whilst in the shower.
A very peaceful site, plenty of nature and bird song.
My dog enjoyed camping here, was happy and relaxed.
As a solo female camping, I felt relaxed and comfortable.

No em va agradar I liked everything about this site.

Del gerent: Hi Andi!

Thanks so much for your kind review — we’re really pleased to hear you (and your dog!) had a comfortable and relaxed stay. It was lovely meeting you both!

Glad the shower lived up to expectations — and yes, depending on the time of year, you really can grab a plum while you’re in there! It’s great to hear the site felt peaceful and safe, especially as a solo female camper — that means a lot to us.

If you fancy a return visit, autumn’s a lovely time here — quieter, a bit more colour in the trees, and we’re usually busy harvesting the cider apples - and if there's enough interest... I set up the apple mill and press and let guests start juicing apples from the orchard.

You’d be very welcome back any time.

Regards,


Howard

Em va agradar Just beautiful. Quiet and peaceful. Very lovely and helpful owner.
Easy access to local areas. Loved the shower set up and ability to charge devices, make a cuppa etc.
