Em va agradar A lovely welcome from Alison, who provided all the information I needed to get set up. Good spacious level pitch with Electric and water. Facilities were good and clean, a washup area with hot water, two spacious shower rooms were great as I had two children under 8 with me- this kept us all together in one space. The water was hot enough for us all. The site is geared for children, my two had a wonderful time mixing in with the other children staying- It was the end of the Easter holidays. The Cafe and barn play area was excellent, this was also used by day visitors and birthday parties. A small charge was made for the use of the play barn- £2.50 per child , all day in our case. This was a quiet site, only noise was farm vehicles, great for star gazing and good walks from the site. What's not to like!

No em va agradar I was prepared for this slight niggle- no facility for chemical toilet disposal. This is a very new site in development, along with running a farm, bear this in mind. However I am assured by George that installation is at the top of his "todo" list

Em va agradar Lovely warm welcome, the cafe is a nice touch. We all had a yummy lunch. The play barn was fab. We had our 8 year old nephew with us but the play barn was a little young for him. We did have a football and there were some goal posts down by the water. Lots of space to play about. He absolutely loved the cows and goats.

Nice to have facilities on site. Lovely hot showers. There is one single toilet and 2 shower cubicles which have toilets, but shoes can’t be worn in those. I can see how if the campsite was busy, there might be a little queue. There were 3 other pitches in use, so no bother for us.

Such a peaceful nights sleep.

Em va agradar Scenery

No em va agradar Our stay at Down on the Farm Pitch was unfortunately disappointing overall. While the scenery was undeniably beautiful and one of the few highlights of the trip, several issues really let the experience down.

The café food was overpriced for what was offered, and didn’t feel good value for money. We had also seen a previous review mentioning that the showers were only lukewarm, and sadly this still hasn’t been resolved — they were not properly hot during our stay.

One of the most frustrating parts of our visit was returning after a day out to find that our pitch had been taken by someone else. There was no warning or communication about this at all. When we raised it with management, we were told, “well it’s not your pitch,” which was quite frustrating considering we had paid for it. That response felt dismissive and unhelpful.

We had also paid for hardstanding but were instead placed on grass, which was wet and muddy following Storm Dave. This made the stay far less comfortable than expected.

Management, in general, did not handle issues well and seemed out of their depth. Better communication and a more proactive approach would have made a big difference.

While the setting itself is lovely, the overall experience didn’t meet expectations, and unfortunately we wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

Del gerent: We're sorry to hear you felt your stay wasn't a good one.
Others have reported showers were very warm, if we had known this wasn't your experience we would have seen what we could do.
With regards to your pitch, when you arrived you were shown the hardstanding pitch, however you chose to pitch on a grass pitch instead and not where we had allocated you, this you did for the two nights, therefore when you came back for your third night we presumed you would stay where you had on the other nights and is why someone else had taken what we had originally allocated to you as you had chosen a different pitch to go on. We did come out and speak to you when you got back to address.any potential issue.
With regards to the prices in the cafe we are very sorry you feel it is over priced as most say we are cheap.
As we say, sorry you didn't enjoy your visit.

Em va agradar Spacious pitches, lovely open space! Everything was very easy ()

Del gerent: We're so glad you enjoyed your stay with us, it was lovely to see you.

Em va agradar Such a lovely location with a short walk to a lovely pub close by! Facilities are clean and lovely cafe on site. The cows and goats are a plus 🥰

No em va agradar Unfortunately the hot water in the showers weren’t working when we were there, but didn’t make a fuss as we weren’t too bothered - I’m sure the team would have sorted that out if asked!
