Liked: Our first visit to Coombe View Farm was an enjoyable experience, the farm was tidy, well maintained and rustic, right up our street, it just off the beaten path but not too remote that you isolated, the owner was very friendly and helpful, even popping by in the morning to ask how our stay was, will definitely be going back

Electric grass tent pitch (four person)
Liked: Nice views, Close to several towns and beaches, good amenities at the campsite, clean toilets, showers were fine, no problems with electrics, well signposted over all good basic campsite.
Disliked: Very sloped pitch. Virtually empty site but we weren't given a choice about where we could pitch. Being singled out from the get go by the male member of staff for having our dogs off their leads, within 5 minutes of getting out of bed when we were literally letting them go for a wee and about to tether them, and we were one of three or four dog owning campers, none of the others were subjected to this continued singling out, despite others having their dogs off their leads the whole time. We were also accused of letting our dogs soil and not cleaing it up by the same member if staff which I categorically deny. My brother happened to be over at the toilets/showers and said hello to him and tried to be friendly to him and he just turned his back on him and walked away. I could understand the over zealous policing of the lead policy if the campsite was busy/in season but it's the middle of October and we were the only ones in the middle of an empty field for the majority of our stay and for the rest of our stay, the other people there had dogs and we're not subjected to the same policing. Nor was the man doing the policing being in any way reasonable. We literally watched one woman walk the length of the campsite with her two dogs off the leads with a ball thrower and not one word was said. We let our dogs go for a wee 10 yards from the tent and got literally shouted at and accused of things we hadn't done.

From the manager: Thank you for your review and nice comments about our site. With regards your dislikes we are sorry to hear these things. When you were sited for your pitch you were told to go just off the track where it was level but for some reason you decided to pitch where you did on the slope for your entire stay with us. The reason you were given that pitch was because you required electric hookup and these are only certain pitches on the site plus because you were in a roof tent you were allocated one of the more level pitches! Regarding your dogs - our policy at the site is we do not allow dogs off lead other than in areas stated. This was even more important whilst you were staying with us as we had a cat that was with another camper that was around their caravan and it was mentioned to your brother about this when you first arrived. Other campers were told to put their dogs on leads but unfortunately not everyone is spotted having their dogs off leads. Also when dogs are allowed to run loose you do not always see where they have soiled and it can quite often be missed and end up being left for someone else to clean up or stand in.
Never again

Liked: Staff were very friendly, checked up on us most days to check we were enjoying our stay which was so lovely. Very accommodating letting us pitch up anywhere in the field. Facilities are basic but incredibly clean and showers have amazing water pressure and hot water. Pitch was great too, grass is clearly well looked after. Quiet and peaceful site, can see the sea from the site and can hear the birds singing. If I had to fault anything it would be the layer of stone/hard ground underneath the grass making it a bit tougher to get pegs in. Overall we had a great stay, thoroughly enjoyed and would stay again.
Disliked: Nothing to fault.
