What customers say
Flowerdew Farm is praised for its friendly, relaxed atmosphere and eco-friendly ethos. Visitors highlight the clean facilities, welcoming owner, and the appeal of on-site animals, particularly alpacas and goats. Its rural location is well-regarded, offering proximity to pubs and walks. Minor drawbacks noted include limited shower and toilet facilities when busy, and occasional noise from neighbouring farms or the road. Some guests found pitches to be close together.

Barry bell tent (comfort, four person)
Liked The Barry bell tent was as described, cosy and the beds were comfortable. The site is peaceful and is an excellent place to stay for exploring the Jurassic coast from. We valued the shared space in the rest rooms providing a sheltered space for eating, reading, games etc. compost toilet was well maintained and absolutely fine to use.

Very friendly staff and safe place to be
Bell tent (basic, four person)
Liked We had a really lovely time, Claire was very welcoming. Site felt very safe and clean. Lots of extra bit like kettle, indoor seating area and fridge which made our stay so much easy. And the little one enjoys the goat and alpaca so much, location it ideal and we where able to get to placed just a short drive. We will definitely be back soon
Disliked Not a dislike but would of been nice for bell tents to be spread over the field a bit more, only because when we stayed there wasn’t many other in the field but bell tents where all booked so we where all next to each other with so much space round the rest of the field.
