Bovey's Down Farm

Syntes om: A very well maintained, small campsite. Clean facilities, very friendly owners and a hidden gem. I will definitely be booking again. The rope swing was an added bonus and a big hit with all of the kids staying here.

Fra bestyreren: Hi, Thanks for the great review. It is brilliant to see and hear all the kids having such fun & you enjoying being here too. We look forward to your next visit. Pam & Gerald.

Syntes om: Flat pitch nice views

Syntes ikke om: Toilet and showers not adequate for size of site path ways could be mowed into grass cafe and bar open hours too short host very sarcastic wouldn't allow to pitch before 3pm which we found ridiculously

Fra bestyreren: Good evening. Thank you for taking time to review our site. We had 33 pitches running over the weekend [ pitch no's went up to 43 but 10 were out of service] with 8 toilets, 2 urinals and 4 showers, all seemed to work well,maybe you didn't discover them all.I was around and didn't spot any problem,so sorry if you did encounter a wait. The tea room / restaurant/ bar is open daily from 8.30am closing at 10pm Thurs,Fri,Sat & .6pm Sun,Mon,Wed .Tuesday closed all day , but checking in still available 3pm to 7pm. We all have to wear many hats to do different jobs,from early morning to late in the day. so no early admissions whilst doing lunch time service please . this is essential not ridiculous. Thankfully we had many on site that had been here multiple times over the last 30 years & enjoyed it well. Bovey's Down Farm

Syntes om: Countryside and nice to have cafe on site. The Otter Amber was v good. The showers were good.

Syntes ikke om: The pitches could have been mown shorter, the wet grass and chunks of grass cuttings were messy. Sadly some campers played loud music beyond the 11am curfew.

Fra bestyreren: Good morning. Thank you for taking the time to review your stay here. We enjoyed having such a lovely crowd in for the spring bank holiday, I do wish you could have told us at the time that the water had stopped on the chemical disposal area as the tap and flush should have been working at all times. We had it all emptied and serviced just prior to the weekend but things can break down at times, so apologies for this. It was a lovely busy weekend and whilst the toilets and showers were cleaned a twice daily that area of the site did not get as much attention. We look forward to seeing you back again one day.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for such a lovely review, please come again and enjoy everything that makes Boveys Down so special. Pam & Gerald.

Syntes om: Lovely rustic campsite, toilets & showers were clean & worked well. Staff very friendly & happy to help. Cafe food was lovely, had a beautiful roast on the weekend, followed by an amazing sticky toffee pudding. Everyone on the site was lovely.

Syntes ikke om: Pitches are slightly sloped in certain areas but this wasn’t an issue for us. Grass was a little long which with the rain left very wet feet & legs!

Fra bestyreren: Hello thank you for taking the time for such a lovely review. sorry about the grass in places but we had a machinery brake down.. Best wishes,Pam , Gerald & team.

Syntes om: Closeness to beaches Views from the campsite

Syntes ikke om: The toilets were very very basic. They were clean, but very basic. The campsite was noisy in the evenings - could have been just an unlucky weekend, but music was being played till late and past curfew (given that the curfew is already 11pm!). Someone was allowed to enter the campsite and pitch a tent at midnight, so lots of car door slamming and taking causing a lot of disturbance. Our pitch was on quite a significant hill

Fra bestyreren: Hello . It appears our site was not for you.We are sorry you did not enjoy all we had to offer. It was a bank holiday weekend therefore family groups and a party atmosphere including fun laughter and it seems music too. We keep very clean toilets which you kindly commented on but what I am unsure about is you describe them as to your 'quote; very very 'basic' . We have in each toilet cubicle 2x toilet paper dispensers, commercial size, 2 x blue hand paper, a bucket of wet wipes, bins, hand rails, wash basins, liquid soap & hand gel, mirror & light . Also sensor overhead lights. Not forgetting the accessible toilet and shower with baby changing station. .Some have have plugs and razor points. I am at a loss as to what else one comes to expect on a camp site. We don't get the time to be tourists these days but what we offer far exceeds some we have stayed on in the past. Apologies for the late tent pitch. We had no idea of their plans to be here until they came to pay the next day for which I admire their honesty if not their late arrival. Also if people play music past the 11pm and guests find it annoying surely a quick phone call to us at the time is the way forward as we then attend that pitch and put a stop to the noise. From Boveys Down Farm ,family camping site with far reaching views.

Fra bestyreren: We do have a very well organised cleaning rota to ensure the 8 toilets .basins .floors and bleached at least twice daily,this also applies to the showers. I personally do the 6am shifts & 10 am shifts over weekends and daily in school holidays. Sadly we didn't see a lot of you but would have enjoyed getting to know you down here on the farm.
