What customers say
This is a peaceful, well-maintained campsite set in beautiful countryside. Reviewers frequently praise the clean facilities, including hot showers, and the friendly, helpful owners. Many enjoy the quiet atmosphere and spacious pitches, with good access to local walks and pubs. Some guests note the field is sloped and that shower tokens are required, with occasional feedback on shower length and temperature. There is limited mobile signal and Wi-Fi in the area.

Good place
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked We had a great stay at the camp ! The toilets and showers were exceptionally clean, and the host was super helpful and friendly. Even though the area is a bit hilly, there’s plenty of space, and you can pitch your tent wherever you like. There are lots of drinking water stations around. Great location with plenty to see nearby—we were very satisfied!

Liked Good location, showers and toilets were good. Exactly as described and what we expected. Owners friendly and have a lovely dog! Lovely farm shop only 10 mins down the road with a great breakfast
Disliked Taps on the field a bit difficult to find as people pitched up right next to them so a little awkward to get to, there is one by the main shower/toilet block tho so was able to use that

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked You were able to park where you like.
Owners were friendly and accommodating.
Site owners left you to it. Amenities were very clean.
Freezer for ice packs and food and plenty of bins to recycled goods.
Disliked Uuuuuhhhh the dog/s barking all day and all night and the following day. I am guessing there is some kind of outside dog kennels very nearby .
Not the fault of Beanhill farm. But it did ruin the peace .

Lovely site. I will be back.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely site, very relaxed
No EHU but easy access water points & really nice shower block in old stables
Washing up facilities & a freezer for freezer blocks
Not a lot local to site which is fine for me but there is a pub 20 min walk away
Disliked The only downside was the tokens for the shower. I didn’t have any change so the lovely owner Teresa gave me a freebie but I forgot to get any change for the 2nd night & obv it means you have to remember to go to the reception to get one!

Overall a lovely site and we enjoyed our stay
Anonymous Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Nice site, quiet. Well spaced.
Facilities adequate. Showers hot and just long enough for a good wash using 1 token.
Disliked The smell from the stench pipe was quite strong
