Liked Lovely owners, very helpful. We got there late so didn’t have a great deal of time there just an overnight for legoland but the views in the morning over the field was beautiful! The boys particularly liked the rope swing!

Beautiful rural setting and a warm welcome
Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked We loved our stay at Ellis' Hill Farm, especially watching wild deer grazing metres away from our caravan. Close enough to Reading for visiting our daughter but completely rural and surrounded by walks in beautiful woodland. We felt really welcomed and bacon butties and tea at the cafe was an added bonus. We look forward to returning.

Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked Coffee with the locals Saturday morning. Pork butchery onsite and amazing. The hosts are the most genial and accommodating in 8 weeks on the road. In the country ( it is a farm ) very quiet and deer in the meadow in the morning. Clean washrooms, no showers. Great value.

We’re happy to have rounded off your road trip with a pleasant stay and very much look forward to welcoming you back soon.
Great site with basic services.
Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked Lovely, accommodating staff. Great site. For the price and the honest description, I got exactly what I was expecting from the site. For those negative reviews, I suggest they pay over the odds for a luxury site… I love that we can still get away in this country for minimal cost and minimal gimmicks. A true back to basics weekend with great links and plenty of local attractions. Will definitely stay again in the future. The toilet facilities could do with an update, however it’s perfectly serviceable.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Disappointing experience and certainly not peaceful
Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked - Site feels secluded and remote despite being close to big towns like Reading and Wokingham
- Short, pleasant off-road walks to 2 decent pubs
Disliked - The guy who ran his petrol generator all evening and following morning (looks like a permanent resident?) - definitely not a peaceful experience
- Haulage company lorries arriving and unloading until around 1am
- As with other reviews, bathroom facilities are functional but pretty grim

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback.
Generators are not permitted on site. We would have addressed this issue at the time had we known about it. We don’t have permanent residents. The guest in question was only staying for a couple of nights.
We do have lorries working on site at night from time to time, but only occasionally. We’re sorry if their activity disturbed you.
The loos are basic as stated in our entry.
We’re sorry that you didn’t have a wholly positive experience with us.
Friendly and welcoming, basic but good value.
Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked Friendly staff and very relaxed atmosphere, lovely to be in nature and see the geese flying over and the rooks circling before roosting at night. The cafe and farm shop looked nice but we didn’t have a chance to sample it. Lovely walks nearby.
Disliked Unfortunately there was work going on well into the evening, lorries loading up with aggregates in the yard near the field. The toilets were very basic and although the toilet itself was clean the room wasn’t, sink, walls and floors very dusty and grimy and no hot water. Without showers on site this might be the only option for those camping to be able to wash but not a problem if you have a camper van.

Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked Very friendly. Very quiet. Facilities basic but clean. Great pub nearby.
Disliked Field is a ittle bit uneven, but quiet flat. And bumpy road to get there.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the trouble to leave us a review.
We appreciate your feedback about the bumpy field, but we have taken the decision to leave the meadow to grow through the summer months as it provides habitats for wildlife and a wonderful environment for children to play in and appreciate nature.
The farm track up to us is, indeed, a bit challenging as it’s hilly and therefore is prone to rain running off it and damaging the surface. We do our best to keep it in good repair.
We hope to see you again soon
