From the manager: Thank you for your comments but the 6/10 is a little harsh. We have no control over our Wi-Fi/ coverage but all major providers network are fine & the pub has Wi-Fi for everyone
A lovely campsite with lovely walks.

Liked: This was our second visit to Pool Farm. The campsite is lovely and the farmer is a pleasant, friendly man. He came round to greet us on arrival and came over for a few chats over the weekend. The toilets and shower are very well kept. A lovely place for a camping weekend. We will definitely return

Liked: Quiet location
Disliked: They had available fridge to put food in which went missing on day 2. It was gluten free and I had to go and find some more breakfast.

From the manager: l understand your disappointment following the disappearance of your breakfast but it is left at their own risk & we are not responsible for anything left or taken especially from the refrigerators. Many phones & tablets have been left to recharge without incident. We are surprised there was no positive comments of our location to the village pub & the scenic foot path to the beach,the well kept site & especially the standard of cleanliness of the toilets and shower We are always available for any issues that arise but this was not brought to our attention
Clean, friendly host, good facilities…

Liked: We stayed in the camp with our 2 children aged 7 & 8, and puppy. Very welcoming, excellent location, enjoyable walk to the beach, puppy loved the dog camping field to socialise (as did the kids). Nice pub opposite the camp. Children really enjoyed the ‘Milk Hut’ opposite the camp for milkshakes. All clean and tidy, would return again… thank you for having us:)
