Penn Meadow Farm

Liked: I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to do this one as it was my first time camping not my partners - so of course it was my choice where we stay. I could not have chosen a better place for my decision to try camping to be better (Will be doing it again)

There a pub near by which is a lovely walk to embrace the nature and the animals. There a fire pits to have an open fire which we have used our own fire pit as didn’t take it for nothing hahaha!

The farm has all the facilities you need make your stay pleasurable and defo unforgettable. The owner even popped and said hello to us which was a beautiful touch to our stay. Owner came back the following morning to update my partner on the TV show that he was watching which was a cherry on top. You feel welcomed and a part of the family not a recluse. In the morning the farmers dogs came to say hello to us which was great had a little run around with them and then packed the bags and went home. Would be definitely returning there again. Highly recommend it.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking time to leave a review. It means so much to the entire team and we are so glad you enjoyed your visit. The Kites were spectacular this weekend, I sat for a bit watching them too. We look forward to seeing you very soon :)

Liked: Fantastic location which is peaceful, surrounded by nature with a wonderful old pub nearby.
The toilets and shower were clean and tidy. I liked the attention to detail and the water was nice and hot.
A friendly dog found me as I was pitching up and dropped his tennis ball at my feet. I may have made a four legged friend. 😆

I would recommend this site and I will definitely be coming back each week as I find it so much better than staying in a soulless chain hotel.

From the manager: Hi Katie,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience I love the photos! The pigs are my favourite as they get so excited to say hello. We are looking to plant more bluebells this September too and your more than welcome to come up and help if you like or come along again next year and see even more blue in the woods.

The Bathrooms are something the owner loves to be creative with, you can even find an episode of Small Spaces where he is featured for building a cool space in a trailer.

Liked: Our first experience camping and we will definitely be back. very relaxed atmosphere and the staff were really helpful.

Disliked: All good.

From the manager: Hi Billy,

Thank you for the nice feedback that is exactly what we are aiming to do! We are looking at having a guide to camping for first time campers and even having some "how to" sessions. We look forward to seeing you very soon :)

Liked: This is mine and my families go to camping spot, been here 8+ times. The owners are lovely, fields are well kept. Occasionally you will have the owners come and introduce themselves then you are left in peace to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Disliked: More toilets.

From the manager: Hi Shauna,
Thank you so much and we are so pleased you continue to enjoy visiting us we are so blessed to have such amazing visitors that make the hard work worth while.
We are looking into having more toilets, it does take a long time as we are in an area of outstanding beauty there is a lot of red tape to negotiate.
But you never know we may be there by your next visit.

Liked: Friendly owners, farm animals, quiet location, really lovely surroundings, hot showers

Disliked: Very hard ground, steep slopes, no firewood available to buy on site (being picky here!)

From the manager: Hi Craig,

Thank you so much for your review it is very much appreciated by the entire team. We are so very lucy with the amazing location, it really is idyllic.

We do have wood available for free, I'm so sorry if you were unable to locate it. On your next visit we will be sure to show you where you can find some wood to enjoy your fire.

Liked: A lot of room, luckily there wasn’t many other people so plenty of space to set up. Lots of good trails, geocaching and the animals on the farm are really cute. Lovely pub really close by. Also town is close by for emergency shop runs. Toilets are really nice and clean (by one of the best I’ve seen). Will definitely be coming back!!

Disliked: I’d suggest putting something on the toilet doors to let others know it’s being occupied. Only way to know is if the doors are open which sometimes they weren’t. Apart from that, very happy!

From the manager: HI Ricardo, Thank you so much for sharing it is very much appreciated! I love that photo of the Alpaca! I will tell the on site team about the toilets as they work really hard and having positive feedback makes it all worth while! Really interesting feedback on the toilets indicators and not one we have had so we will defiantly give it some thought. Thank you

Liked: We loved the amount of space. The kids got to roam around independently and were completely safe. We also loved all the animals, especially the dogs!! The owners were very available and extremely helpful. Also, only being a short walk from The Royal Standard of England was a nice surprise.

Disliked: The showers were a bit unreliable (I had a cold shower after the first night)
Also, 3 toilets - while very nice - aren’t enough for so many potential campers.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking time to leave us a review and feedback. It helps our growth considerably.

We are so blessed to have amazing animals who mostly like to say hello. We agree with you about the Royal Standard backing onto the farm is such a blessing and a fascinating place to visit.

We are so sorry you didn't get a hot shower, we have been talking about how we can best ensure that everyone has a fair amount of time in the shower but are yet to find the best answer for this.

Liked: The place is lovely. Frankie the owner is a very nice chap always happy to help with any questions you might have. The best part of the experience was all the animals that you get to see around the farm. Horses, sheep, goats, pigs and there’s also the dogs of the farm which are very friendly, my puppy had a blast with them. The facilites in the campsite are amazing. You get flushable toilets which my wife always enjoys and the showers were very nice. Everything very clean and spot on. Can’t really fault the place really would 100% recommend and will definitely visit again.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review! It makes such a difference to the team who work so hard and put their hearts into giving everyone a camping experience to remember!
Maybe in your next visit the alpaca may have come up closer to the camping, they are currently at the other side of the farm as they have a very little baby with them.
We look forward to seeing you again very soon!
