Abbey Green Farm

Liked The location is peaceful and beautiful, a very much needed contrast to busy Manchester where we live.
The owners are friendly and welcoming.
The pitches are a good size and offer a good level of privacy.

Disliked We visited during a busy bank holiday and the only issue we faced was the shower pressure and the water turning cold. That being said, we were pretty much the only people left on our last morning and the shower I had then was fine.

Liked Simple, family run and well equipped site with a few games available for use.

Little touches in the bathrooms such as the hand towels and soap included. Good WiFi speed

Disliked Pitch was poorly outlined resulting in tent being squashed into the end of the pitch to allow others to drive/walk through (plenty of unkept grass which we were later told was for driving across however newer cars do not allow driving through long grass due to safety sensors. Grass could have easily been maintained to the same standards as the pitch to form a clear road/walkway for access)

Water pressure very low making the showers basically unusable if others site users were awake.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the family feel of the site, our facilities, and the little touches in the shower rooms, we are pleased these were appreciated.
We’re sorry to hear the pitch layout did not quite suit your set-up. The grassed area you mention is part of our hay meadow, which we grow to provide winter feed for our sheep, so it is intentionally left longer at certain times of year. That said, we completely appreciate your comments regarding access for newer vehicles with sensors and will be widening the passing area to make this easier in future, thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We would also like to clarify that our showers are individually heated power showers, designed to provide consistent hot water and pressure throughout the day, though we are sorry if this was not your experience during your stay.
Thank you again for staying with us and for your helpful feedback.
Best wishes,
Rose

Liked Camped here for 3 nights. Good sized pitches but not very clear down the side and set up so other campers need to walk and drive through your pitch so not ideal. 3 showers and 4 toilets but be aware that this site is not set up to be busy, cold showers every day and very little water pressure unless you get up at 6:30am. I would stay away from the food offered. Average ice cream and chips were mostly raw. Was going to try the pizza but didn't want to risk it also being raw. Rose was a lovely host but Philip was confrontational and rude definitely should not be working with the public. Good location but wouldn't stay here again.

Disliked Food offered - took a long time and not cooked. Philip was rude. Pitch size down the side of the buildings confusing and secure due to other campers driving through was not safe for the dogs.

From the manager: Dear Lewis,
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed the location and appreciated the welcome from Rose.
We’re sorry to hear that aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. As a small, family-run countryside site, we work hard to create a peaceful, safe and enjoyable environment for all guests. This does mean that, on occasion, we do need to politely reinforce site rules, particularly around safety and consideration for other, and whilst we always aim to be friendly and helpful, we appreciate that a firm approach can sometimes be interpreted differently.

We would also like to clarify that our showers are individually heated power showers, designed to provide consistent hot water and pressure throughout the day. We were disappointed to read your comments regarding the food, as everything is freshly prepared to order and many guests return specifically for our pizzas, breakfasts and homemade treats. Had any concerns been raised during your stay, we would always have welcomed the opportunity to put things right.

We genuinely care about our guests’ experiences and are always approachable should any issues arise during a stay.

Best wishes from us both,
Rose & Philip

Liked Owners were lovely, facilities were really good and clean

Disliked Our pitch wasn’t the best there were quite a few nettles so we couldn’t wear sandals on the grass
The food was slightly overpriced but was good food
The lanes to get in were quite tight which granted isn’t the owners fault but we weren’t expecting it!

Liked Lovely big pitches, bathrooms were spacious and clean. Beautifully looked after. Rose was very welcoming, it’s a shame we didn’t have time for the homemade pizza…. Maybe next time.

Liked It was local to places to visit and walks.
Showers were good and clean, well kept place.

Disliked Small and not suitable for towing a caravan- small plot, about 1 metre away from the tent next to us. Roads were also not suitable for caravans locally.
Had to ask where the waste pipe, water etc was as they were busy serving ordered take aways.
Site was advertised as a quiet site although there was a big party in tents and kids were kicking the ball everywhere and it states that at 10 it should be quiet but the group were loud until 11 and nothing was said to them, luckily it rained the next evening so it was quiet as it states.
Electric kept tripping using just the airfryer.
Shame we had this review but we expected quiet and we didn't get it, we also left a day earlier due to the big group (4*8berths) and we wanted sleep!

Liked Absolutely fabulous site, one of the best we have been to. Shower and toilet block immaculate and very homely. Food delivered to your pitch if ordered in advance delicious. Tranquil site, owners so friendly in fact the day we left the brought some rhubarb over to our pitch from their orchard, perfect weekend, we will definitely go back 😀
