Pilsbury Lodge Farm

Liked Location and the views

Showers were warm and spacious

Farm chickens roaming

Spacious plots

Disliked Unisex toilets - ran out of toilet paper

Not the nicest of toilets even for back to basic camping.

Two toilets available so would much prefer male and female

Liked I visited with my 9 year old son. The farm and site were well off the beaten path and the owner very friendly.
There was plenty of space to choose from when pitching.
We chose the field nearest the main toilet block. The dry stone walls offered some wind protection, we were close to the drinking water, toilets, showers and pot wash facilities.
The two unisex toilets were of good size, tudy and reasonably clean. The washing up sink had hot running water and a lovely view from the door of hens wandering past. The showers were very basic, £1 coin into the meter and 12 mins of hot water, but did the job of warming us up and £1 was enough for my son and I to share a shower and both get clean and warm after a long day walking.
The scenery was beautiful from the site, and we enjoyed the sounds of the cows in the surrounding fields mooing.
My son and I felt safe and he had plenty of space to run around as well as a hill to run up and fly his kite.
The farm is very much a working farm with no frills, which we appreciated and enjoyed.
If you're after a luxury camp this is not it.

Disliked There were only a couple of niggles and they did not put a downer on our stay. Just suggestions for improvement....
The bin station was comprehensive but was not emptied/monitored while we were there. As such bin bags were piling up around the black bin to the point the hens were pecking through them.
The other area that could have been improved was tile on the shower floor or replacing the very water logged lino, and a curtain between the shower and the change area to prevent water reaching the entire floor. All belongings had to be hung to stay dry which was a little awkward particularly with small people (children). A seat in the showers would be another suggestion.
Final niggle was the lack of hot water in toilets, only child running water.
Having said this, these did not upset our stay, we had a lovely time.

Liked Every thing was perfect. Very clean and welcoming. Loved it. Definitely be back soon.
