Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (basic, wild)
Liked I can't fault anything.
It's always nice to visit and camp at Sweet Hill Farm.
Disliked The wood for the burner was either too thick or still damp as it was smoking and not really catching fire. Everyone around camp seemed to have the same problem. We just smoked each other out.
The smaller wood chippings were great.

Bel posto con servizi da rivedere completamente
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (basic, wild)
Liked Posizione e vista
Disliked Totale mancanza di servizi per camper (no scarico acque nere e grigie). Servizi inaccettabili (wc chimici come quelli usati nellle fiere). Alcune aree sembrano state oggetto di bombardamento.

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (basic, wild)
Liked Traumhafte Lage, viel Platz, nette Menschen und viele Pferde.
Dusche okay(kostet extra).
Disliked Leider nur Dixi Toiletten, die öfters gereinigt werden sollten. Und eine Klobürste wäre vorteilhaft(wenn die Leute sie dann benutzen)
Wi haben gesehen dass manche Plätze Strom haben - wurde uns nicht angeboten. War aber okay...

Beautiful location and a lovely company site
Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch (basic, wild)
Liked 5 night stay non electric in sweet hill pastures field. Beautiful campsite almost back to basics which was perfect for us. Porta-loos (compost ones not available at present) which were cleaned and maintained throughout our stay. Lots of toilet paper and sanitizer (we did bring our own just incase). Sinks for washing up (cold water only) and lots of water stations providing drinking water. Hot showers (£1 for 3 mins) electric plugs to charge your portable chargers and phones. Amazing cafe with lovely staff. The best breakfast roll and coffee 🫶. If you love nature, this site is amazing. Sea views all round, the night sky was truly something else, we were lucky to have 3 clear nights, the moon was amazing over the sea. 5 mins from site you are on the coastal paths and cliff tops, the sunsets were breathtaking 🌅 the American Kestrels on the cliffs were beautiful. So many birds. The horses were lovely and we were so lucky to see Dolphins 🐬. A short walk to portland bill and the lovely lighthouse. Stunning walks. We were so lucky with our fellow campers, everyone was very respectful and the site was so peaceful. The farm itself greets you with a goat, sheep and Teddy, the beautiful resident doggie, he was our new friend.
You can hire a fire pit for £5 and they sell wood and kindling if needed, highly recommend.
We had a fantastic stay and will definitely be returning.
Disliked not ref. the site but just be aware, we had some very strong winds. As you are on the top of a cliff your tent can take a bit of a battering. Just be prepared incase the wind decides to pick up!
