Non-electric grass and earth campervan pitch
Liked: This site definitely has the eco friendly feel. Clare our host was so attentive for our stay. We arrived in a yellow weather warning ⚠️, howler this site has a great barn equipped for you to use, to play games, charge your phones, eat and stretch your legs while the weather passes. This small holding has an opportunity to feed the animals. Waking up in the natural surroundings was a treat. The site is currently having additional hard standing pitches being added for all year round camping. A short walk away there is a fantastic pub, welcoming which serves a great meal, with welcoming staff.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Location and peacefulness
Disliked: Rudeness of owner, she came across rather patronising and nagging, stressed and unfriendly. Overgrazing evident in animal fields. It was very expensive as she charged £30 for a tent and £40 for a campervan, £70 total in an almost empty field in mid september! There was only one portaloo, a compost toilet would have suited the ethos of the place.

Liked: Lovely clean campsite with very friendly and helpful owner. The facilities were well managed and the atmosphere was very laid-back. The pitches were larger than I expected giving everyone plenty of space. Would definitely go again. The alpacas and goats were great too!

Barry bell tent (comfort)
Liked: Chilled, back-to basics, low carbon footprint camping. The site is small and cosy with fun details everywhere. The host, Claire, really loves what she does and makes you feel so welcome, we'd love to come again. Even my children calmed down. We stayed in Barry Bell Tent and had everything we needed for campfire cooking and a restful stay.

Liked: Great site. Close to beach. Great for families. Host was helpful generous and very welcoming. Facilities basic but very adequate. Creative touches like the smoking Frida Kalo shower curtain. Lots of games for the children and dry area to sit. Also supply of toilet paper and fridge. Animals appealing very well kept. Highly recommended

Barry bell tent (comfort)
Liked: Location. The look and feel of the place. The snug with boardgames etc. The layout of the camping field next to alpacas and goats. Customer service and welcome from the campsite staff
Disliked: Toilet facilities are not great (2 portaloos) and only 1 shower (fixed at a hot temperature). A peaceful looking place but not completely peaceful at night because of the cows on the next door farm, and seagulls in the morning. It's all part of being out in the country and near the sea, so bring earplugs if you're staying here

From the manager: Thanks for the kind words on the likes. Sorry to know that you were not happy with countryside noises. We do clearly have on our socials and website and listings that we have event toilets and one shower. These are thoroughly checked and cleaned andweree checked all weekend, we advise on arrival we can always change the temperature, but everyone this weekend advised me it was OK> Without knowing it was too hot for you, we cant help on site and adjust accordingly. We have had plenty of great reviews on our facilities, including on our events toilets.
Excellent site, clean facilities, brilliant owner

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: A brilliant little campsite, lovely owner who you can tell has a real passion for her business. Great to have the goats and alpacas close to the camping field as it meant my son could just wander over to their enclosures whilst I could keep an eye on him. All the facilities were lovely and clean. Had a quick tour on arrival to show where everything is and nothing was too much trouble. The campsite is in a nice peaceful spot but easy to access the jurassic coast from it. Local pub in puncknowle does good food and drink.
