Little Shelfin Farm Camping

Liked The pitch it self was lovely, big well laid out. Toilets and showers were clean and worked.

Disliked It was not very friendly, we did not see the hosts at all. Check in was done by a board, we couldn't freeze our ice packs as there was no one around to ask. We left early as it was not enjoyable, other sites have made us feel a lot more comfortable and welcoming we will be going back there instead.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback regarding the issues you found.
We use the whiteboard as most staying with us find this an easy and convenient for their check in. We do understand this may not suit everyone but find on the whole people prefer this approach as means people are not waiting for us as we run the campsite alongside our farming business.
We would have been more than happy to freeze your ice blocks, we are contactable 24/7 via the phone number on the campsite board and booking form.

Liked Location was perfect for where we wanted to visit.
Good sized pitches and ideal for us both and our 2 dogs.

Liked Its flat and the facilities are clean. If you're using a vehicle daily and NOT the bus then its very conveniently located.

Disliked The bus stop may only be 3 min walk away but it is a very busy road with absolutely no verge to walk on. We actually had people beeping at us and gesturing that we shouldn't be walking. The bus didn't stop at the entrance despite me asking the driver. They seemed to stop at lots of other site entrances on the Mortehoe road.

There is also a lot of road noise, when we were there the owners had allocated everyone pitches along the road and almost no one on the far side.
The pitches weren't large as suggested by the info, we could hear every word said in the tent next door.

From the manager: Thank you for feedback.
The bus stop is accessible via a footpath off the campsite lane. We will ensure that this is advertise more clearly in the future if we are not available to ask.
In regard to the pitch allocation, we will consider this going forward and look at allocating the opposite side.

Liked Lovely little camp site. Toilets and showers were lovely and clean.

Liked Decent location for what we wanted.
Fair pitch sizes around edges allowing place large grass area for playing in middle.

Disliked No recycling on site.
Smell in toilets.
Other campers children’s behaviour.
Prefer sites that allow music, fires and bbq’s. I knew of the no fire and music before booking.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback.
We offer mixed bins on site which means recyclable are removed once collected by the waste disposable company. We made this choice and many people were choosing not to use recycling bins when staying.
If you had concerns regarding the behaviour of others we would have been happy to talk to these campers. We are contactable 24 hours a day and one of us would have come to deal with the behaviour if it had been raised with us
It is well advertise that we are a quiet site and we do not allow fire pits, we also made the decision to stop BBQs based on the government alert sent out. These are well advertise, and as you mentions you were aware off when booking the site.

Liked Good communication prior to our stay.

Disliked No bins?!
No way to dry hands after using the toilet.
A long way to get to toilets with small children.
Junction to get out was precarious and full of pot holes!

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback.
We do have bins onsite they are located just outside the campsite entrance- these are out the way so people do not have to be close to the bins when pitching.
We have raised concerns with the highways agency regarding the condition of the road but unfortunately we have to wait for repairs to be made which is on their own timescale.
The campsite is usually manageable for most people to walk, your pitch was slightly further as we had to move your pitches to accommodate your three pitches together as requested.
We take your feedback on board regarding feedback and we look into what options are available.
