Sea Barn Farm Camping Park

Liked The location and cleanliness

Disliked The fact that the electricity on the pitch was turned off when we arrived so, after about half an hour of trying to figure out what was wrong, we went to another pitch and moved again in the morning. Staff was simply dismissive - there was no apology for the inconvenience, or anything like that. Very unfriendly and unhelpful. For that reason I would never go back to this site.

From the manager: Hi, Thanks for your comment, Your box had tripped. Sometimes happens when being unplugged by last user. Trip just needed resetting. For future reference, just flip the switch back up. We are on site if you had called,

Liked Lovely views, clean pitches

Disliked Nothing to do, shop shelves nearly empty, no fresh produce on offer, shower block old and dated, showers not hot and have to keep one hand on the push button at all times or water stops after 3 seconds, nowhere private to undress before entering shower, have to take everything in the shower so gets wet.

From the manager: Hi Thank you for your review. We have 2 shower blocks one newer than the other, but both spotlessly keen. Our new block has a partitioned area for clothes while you are showering, our older block has hooks. Most people undress in the shower area before turning the water on. Shower temperatures are set by our heating engineer to run at a safe temperature for everyone. for some this is too hot, some too cold and some just right, In our new block there is a small temperature adjustment range for customers to use.
If you let us know when you were chatting to staff that the showers were not running long enouth, we could have got the shower time adjusted,. There are several showers for you to choose from .
Our shop is stock with a large selection but a small quantity of each as most people arrive with all they need. The shop is treated as a emergency top up but unfortunately for us, we cannot afford to hold lots of stock that will go out of date.
Please be reminded that we only allow dogs on the farm and camping park that are kept on a lead. You were advised of this before you visit but chose to ignore this. You are obviously not happy about being reminded of this.

Liked Great value and lovely views very clean rest rooms friendly atmosphere

Liked The location and views were amazing. No problems at all.

Disliked The field at the end of the site had much better views than the first field so would have preferred a pitch down there.

From the manager: We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and our beautiful sunsets

Liked The view was stunning where we pitched (sea view and cost a little more).

Disliked Facilities were very basic and old. Kept reasonably clean.
Hot water was not working in one shower block so drove to the other.
The children’s area was ancient and really not suitable for kids.
Tried to bring my 95 year old Nan up for a cup of tea and told strictly no visitors and I should have read the terms and conditions.

Liked We love Sea Barn farm, the location/views and the laid back atmosphere

Liked Pitch size and how clean the facilities were.

Liked Fantastic position of campsite with sea view on three sides. Provision of dog walk downhill towards the sea. Generally campers were observant of the rules which makes this campsite very quiet.

Liked Modern clean toilet/shower block with plenty of space to change. Sea view is great, private farm walk is a lovely way to enjoy it. Shop is convenient however opening hours are limited. Wasn't very busy, location is good for access to Weymouth, bus stop about 30-40 minutes walk, taxi back was around £16. Some reviews mentioned the rules being excessively strict, they seem reasonable and are not enforced that harshly, we were up until 1am one night and we weren't the only ones, as long as you are quiet no one will bother you.

Disliked Camp shop is well stocked but opening hours are irregular, only one hour in morning and in evening. It is advertised however longer hours would be more convenient. Didn't use WiFi as it is charged, had mobile signal on most of the park anyway.

From the manager: Hi
You stayed over the bank holiday weekend and the shop was open all day from 8.30 am to at least 6pm??
At other times when the park has less guests, the shop is open and hour in the morning and afternoon.

Liked * Fantastic views and a beautiful setting.
* Quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
* Great facilities and a well-maintained site.
* Clean surroundings and a relaxing environment.
* We camp regularly around the country. Love ❤️ campin.

Disliked Overall, the site benefits from fantastic views, a peaceful atmosphere, and good facilities. However, despite these positives, we would not return.

We paid extra for a sea-view pitch, yet were required to position our tent in a way that did not face the view, which seemed to defeat the purpose of paying for it. We also found the rules around pitch setup unnecessarily restrictive and were not given any explanation as to why certain arrangements were required.

The biggest disappointment was the lack of hospitality. We camp regularly and, for us, the people are a huge part of the experience. On several occasions we passed members of staff without even receiving a simple greeting. The site felt more focused on rules and procedures than making guests feel welcome.

We were also asked to display a sticker on our car, and it was unclear why this was necessary. Personally, I do not particularly want to advertise where I am staying by displaying stickers on my vehicle.

At £42 per night for a tent pitch with electric, the site is more expensive than many we use. While the views and facilities were excellent, the lack of warmth, flexibility and customer-focused service meant it did not represent good value for us, and we would not choose to return.

From the manager: Hi. We do ask that when on the park you display the car sticker,. We dont require you to stick it on you car, just dispay it when you are on the park so we can see you are paid up without disturbing you.
