Liked: Had a lovely stay at Flowerdew Farm with my friend. Claire was very welcoming and helpful! We met the beautiful Alpacas which was a perfect way to start a Saturday morning. Highly recommend and we will be coming back to see how the farm develops with Claire's vision over the years! Thanks so much :)

Liked: Clare was so accommodating and knowledgeable running her her Eco friendly site with a vigour for outside living. She is constantly upgrading the facilities and it’s in a stunning location. The herd of Alpacas and Pigmy goats are an absolute decision maker in me wanting to return asap. The site is clean and green.

Liked: The campsite was just lovely. Facilities were clean, no queuing for the shower which was perfect. Fridge and freezer use with plenty of room, even on a Bank Holiday! Firepit hire was brilliant. Claire was very welcoming,friendly and approachable. The vibe of the place was just perfect, almost like a little community! Lovely lovely people, wish we could have stayed an extra night! Please don't change the feel of this place as we can't wait to come back next year!
Disliked: Minor (teeny tiny) disappointment. Lack of WiFi and the portaloos (I assume to cater for the BH weekend), however they were very clean and it didn't change our opinion on how much we loved our stay!
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Definitely come back! We loved hosting you, amazing guests. Thank you for the kindness on the wifi, we know people need to keep connected and we try and run a free data policy, but we cant always guarantee service but we also try and guide our guests to disconnect and we are glad you got to do that. Same for patience on toilets, we hope the events loos supported the extra guests and whilst we go for planning to improve our infrastructure for the future. We hope to improve improve improve x We love feedback so we can work on plans for keeping this wonderful and special place going. x
Charming, picturesque, great facilities & attractions for the kids.
