Abbey Home Farm

Liked Ended up not staying

Disliked This isnt a good place for female solo travellers if they have a long trip to get here.
I found myself stuck in motorway congestion and what should have taken me 90 minutes ended up taking 4 hours, just to get me roughly half way. I emailed ahead at this 4 hour stopping point as I realised with the traffic conditions that I wouldn't make it here for 5pm. I was hoping I would receive instructions on where to park up as I had done my previous campsite having been caught in Storm Florris. Instead I received a cold "you'll have to find somewhere else to stay tonight". Which on a Friday night was likely going to result in nowhere but a risky layby. There was some back tracking when I explained a second time that the traffic was behind my control and that I was alone. But at this point I felt upset that the owners had been willing to leave me vulnerable and had decided to just drive the extra bit of distance home, ending my road trip 3 days early. I feel I need to share my experience as a warning to others.

Liked Everything! I chose Abbey Home Farm as a last minute one-night trip as it was very well priced. I loved the car-free field, the further you walk from the car park the quieter and more secluded the pitches are. Fantastic views across the valley, sufficient eco-friendly facilities and a hot shower. Great location for exploring the Cotswolds. Also very helpful staff, accommodating me even though I had accidentally booked the wrong night!

Liked Excellent set up, really felt like we were on our own in the fields despite the site being fully booked. Had everything we needed and we really appreciated the quiet site rules!

Liked Amazing place, excellent Location, beautifully kept and clean. I will come back again.

Disliked Really need a "late" checkin option for solo cyclist or walkers . It created a little stress as a long distance cyclist knowing I needed to be in by 5 PM.

Liked We stayed in the sweet Hill yurt in our own little woods for a mini break, and we had an amazing time! We didn't really see much of the farm cause we were just having a great time in the woods, my kids 7 and 9 loved it, we cooked evething over the fire, even in the two storms, the owners are lovely and it was the best! We will be back!

Disliked My son wasn't a fan of the toilet but really who is, my only niggles and it's so small is cause the shower bucket (the shower is slow but I loved it) hangs so low it would be handy to have a little shower seat, the other purely because we had storms was it would have been handy to have a picnic bench under a shelter of some kind, again it didn't stop us having a great time

Liked Lovely scenery, lots of good walks and picturesque villages to nearby and great facilities. My first time out as a female solo camper and felt right at home.

Liked Peace and quiet and privacy. Safe for kids to roam free. Amazing farm shop and cafe. Having campfire and flexible accommodation options. Zero wifi =10 stars = zero screentime all round. Noone even asked for it!

Disliked Nothing

Liked The overall atmosphere of the place was really lovely. There was plenty of space, easy access to the facilities, a gorgeous cafe and overall great a charm to the place.

Disliked The cafe had limited options for vegetarian gluten free meals which meant my friend couldn't eat there on the Sunday.

Liked Liked the simple, back to basics feel… the toilets and showers in the woodlands were great and made us feel more in touch with nature! Nice to have a break from the norm and go back to basics.
Quiet site, nice walks around the site & farm shop

Disliked Nothing major… showers didn’t really come through warm, but we just had super quick cold ones 😂

Liked Loved the wild meadow pitches and the beautiful view of the rolling hills. The little path to the farm shop is beautiful and had a really lovely relaxed hidden away feeling.

Disliked We forgot to bring toilet roll! 😂
