Friar Waddon House

Location good if driving.

A little misleading information given. Play area listed is literally a swing ball in a field. It states there are lots of walking routes to great locations however when we arrived we were told probably not suitable with children and that the closets attractions by foot were at least 2 miles.

When we arrived and got out of the van a dog from other campers jumped up at my daughter several time absolutely petrifying her. I’m all for pets etc but the messages I received prior to our stay from the owners specifically said all dogs must be kept on leads.

Facilities are very basic, maybe could do with investing in some hot running water for washing up.

Unfortunately on top of this our daughter came down poorly so we left a night early. We did contact for a refund / stay another weekend for location purposes but we were told no refunds and now shut until next year. Upon reflection on our stay there for less than 12 hours we probably wouldn’t return with the children.

Lovely hot showers/ toilet facilities

The simplicity, being able to chose our own pitch, fantastic hosts. Toilet cleaned regularly

Could do with more facilities in busy times. Campsite was more of a farm than beautiful site

Spacious sites, good view of the animal paddock, chilled family atmosphere, good walks with impressive views
Takeaway pizza at weekends!

Only 2 showers but never a huge wait

A lovely quiet, back to basics campsite, compost toilets, hot showers. Sound of the birds in the trees. Each pitch was clearly marked as freshly mown. Fresh free range eggs available from the farm, a short walk. The owner, very helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble for her, easy to contact with any issues or worries, or just for very good local knowledge of the area.

My only dislike was someone snoring but that can't be helped.

Clean, well-organised, good-size pitches. Barbecue rental is a really good option (supply charcoal and firelighters so all easy). Very scenic.

Got a little busy for the number of showers and toilets (but was bank holiday weekend). No hot water for washing up. Would definitely say again but knocked off a start.

Lovely and friendly right from arrival. Very informal which makes it so much more relaxing. Even the eggs are great. Will definitely go back in the future. Great walk along the ridge to Hardy's monument. Well done to all on a brilliant newish site.
Thank you. Robin

Really like friendliness of the staff- martin
We forgot some equipments like pump for air tent, he did help us to his best to try and fix our problems. Much easier service as we didn't have to go to the counter or search them for anything we required. We could just message them on their number which they sent the confirmation message and ask for thing we need and it would be delivered to the pitch.

Nothing, just some construction work happening, unlucky time. But really enjoyed nice and clean place.

camp site was very clean very quite ellie was good host

i myself live in the country side so i am not objective to flys insects and buggs now i cant say there was a problem with the site or not but there was swarms of flys im talking 30 to 50 at a time in the awning and if you left van door open there was as many in youre van like i said i dont mind flys spiders etc but this was excesive and sadley would put me off returning to the site

The small family run feeling. The fresh eggs purchased on site.

The site is next to a large construction site. Large scale operations to bury electricity supply currently carried by the pillons. This is major work running across the fields next to the site. Owners are completely mis leading campers for not mentioning this.
