The Hop Farm

Syntes om: Excellent and friendly staff. Access to the river for paddle boarding and boating is excellent and easy.Fields are very large and great for big to small groups which includes families. Would only return because of the river which is a shame as it could be a wonderful campsite.

Syntes ikke om: The only disappointment of the camping site is that there is only one toilet block for the entire site which can lead to a long walk. What's also very disappointing is the state and size of the toilet block. Only 3 cubicles for the men and 5 for the women. This accommodates the entire site for potentially hundreds of people.when we left at 8am in the morning only one cubicle was running due to the lack of toilet paper and cleanliness. Shame really, toilet block is needed on each field.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for choosing to stay with us especially over the extremely busy Bank Holiday weekend. We have 2 toilet and shower blocks next to each other and they were both open all weekend (1 would close at a time to enable thorough cleaning) you must have only used the smaller ones(with the wooden steps) perhaps the larger ones were being cleaned when you went to use them and once cleaned the one you used would have been cleaned straight after the cleaned ones were re-opened. We look forward to welcoming you again, if you can try to avoid Bank Holidays your visit would be more pleasant.

Syntes om: Nice lot of room to set up and peaceful

Syntes ikke om: Could of done with more facilities maybe in the corner of each field as a long way to go at night if needed

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for choosing to stay with us especially over the extremely busy Bank holiday weekend. We have lots of fields for people to enjoy spreading out in away from other campers if they choose to, therefore the further away from the amenities the longer the walk or drive but the more peaceful it becomes. Some guests bring toilet tent facilities for night time use. We hope to see you again soon.

Syntes om: Shower block

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for choosing to stay with us especially over the extremely busy Bank Holiday weekend. We hope to see you again soon when it is more quiet here and you can enjoy the countryside and river.

Syntes om: Nice area and pitch

Syntes ikke om: None of what I booked was correct many large dogs off leads late music motor bikes riding around in the field past mid night. We may just have picked a bad weekend but looks and seems to be no control in what goes on with large groups, nobody checking.

Fra bestyreren: I am sorry you did not enjoy your Bank Holiday stay with us. Bank Holiday weekends are the busiest and for many people it is an opportunity to get together with family and friends. As you can see by other reviews many guests had no problems or issues whilst staying the same weekend. If you had any any concerns whilst staying you could have contacted us, the office was open from 830am until at least 730pm after this time we are available on the mobile number printed on the front of your check-in cards when arriving. We came around the whole of the site a few times during the day and evening (clearly visible by the gator we drove) and a few guests did call us over to ask for information. We did the 10pm site check and were out on site for over 1 hour, after this we do not come out unless we are called out by guests (we live on site all year round next to the touring office). The campsite is open to the river with several public footpaths and the general public do walk through refusing to put their dogs on leads. We also had a camping and caravan club on site hiring one of the fields. I spoke to the marshalls a few times and no issues were raised. It is a shame that you have said you will not visit again or recommend us as outside Bank Holidays the campsite is completely different. There are lots of lovely walks without even leaving the 500 acres.

Syntes om: Everything was at the high level

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your loyalty in choosing to stay with us and that you enjoy your visits. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Syntes om: Location was fantastic, the site its self was so peaceful. Toilet and shower blocks were clean. The lady we checked us in was very friendly.

Syntes ikke om: The grass was quite long in places meaning you couldn’t see where the ditches were when walking to the toilets.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and that you will visit again. Unfortunately the grass at this time of year needs cutting about every 5 days and with 500 acres this can prove a challenge especially when the weather is not kind to us. We look forward to your next visit.

Syntes om: Really relaxing stay, great facilities and staff very friendly

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for choosing to stay with us especially over the extremely busy Bank Holiday weekend and that you enjoyed yourselves. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.

Syntes om: Really easy going site - fantastic amount of space so can pitch up away from others so that the kids could play without being in anyone's way. Fantastic to be able to drop our paddle boards in the river.

Syntes ikke om: Only one central toilet block - it could do with a couple of Portaloos on the extremities of the site for those camping in other fields.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for choosing to stay with us especially over the extremely busy Bank Holiday weekend. The campsite did have portaloos one year,unfortunately due to the remoteness of the outer fields and public footpaths they were vandalised. Some guests having stayed before bring their own toilet tent facilities for night time use so they can be further away where it is quieter. We look forward to welcoming you next time.

Syntes om: Been here a good few times and it’s been superb, access to river walk, seeing Kingfishers and an array of bird life.

Syntes ikke om: There was a large group partying until gone 3am with loud music and shouting - inconsiderate campers. Perhaps a warden wouldn’t go a miss

Fra bestyreren: I am sorry that you did not enjoy your visit this time over the Bank holiday as a group of 5 adults and will not stay again. We do come around the whole of the campsite at 10pm which can take over 1 hour asking for music to be turned off if any is playing and to adhere to the campsites policies. If music is turned back on after we have left we need to be made aware by calling the number printed on the front of your check-in cards and we will come out to anyone disrupting other campers, unfortunately only telling us of your issues now on a review means it is too late to rectify them.
