Fra bestyreren: Hi Bethany,

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re really pleased you enjoyed your stay in 'Dabinett' the bell tent and that the farm, facilities, and comfy bed all hit the mark.

It’s lovely to hear that you felt welcome — we really enjoy meeting our guests and helping make their stay special. Your photos are brilliant too; they capture the orchard beautifully!

We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime for another peaceful orchard escape.

Fra bestyreren: Hey Hannah!

It was our pleasure having you to stay. We’re so glad you enjoyed the set-up and found the orchard peaceful, and it’s great to know the local food tips came in handy too!

The orchard changes a lot through the seasons — spring blossom and autumn apples make it feel like a different place altogether — so you’d be very welcome back any time!

Thanks,

Howard

Syntes om Clear instructions pre-arrival, a warm welcome from the hosts, a beautiful & secluded pitch, our bell tent was perfectly clean and well furnished. The bed was v cosy & comfortable. The nearby camp kitchen was really handy, toilets & showers were clean. A firepit rounded off the whole experience. Location is great, lots of things to see & do nearby. We hope to be back!

Syntes om You camp in-between the orchard trees, it's very beautiful. Shower was amazing, it was wild with the luxury of hot water. Plum and pear trees dotted around. We saw some deers and heard owls, a peaceful break from everyday life. So much to do in the surrounding area. We would love to come back. Thankyou!

Syntes ikke om We pitched up on a bit of a slope, not thinking it was as much of a slope initially . We noticed this a lot at night time. However I accept this was 100% our fault.

Fra bestyreren: Thanks so much, Jordan — we’re really pleased you enjoyed camping among the orchard trees and that the wildlife, peace, and hot shower all helped make it a proper break.

Good spot on the slope — there are some flatter pitches tucked in between the trees, so if you come back just give us a shout when you arrive and we’ll help you find the best spot.

We’d love to welcome you back whenever you’re ready for another orchard escape.

Regards,

Howard

Syntes om Friendly, informative and welcoming. A perfect basis site. Clean.
The shower is bliss, hot, powerful and connected to the outdoors, you can almost pick plums whilst in the shower.
A very peaceful site, plenty of nature and bird song.
My dog enjoyed camping here, was happy and relaxed.
As a solo female camping, I felt relaxed and comfortable.

Syntes ikke om I liked everything about this site.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Andi!

Thanks so much for your kind review — we’re really pleased to hear you (and your dog!) had a comfortable and relaxed stay. It was lovely meeting you both!

Glad the shower lived up to expectations — and yes, depending on the time of year, you really can grab a plum while you’re in there! It’s great to hear the site felt peaceful and safe, especially as a solo female camper — that means a lot to us.

If you fancy a return visit, autumn’s a lovely time here — quieter, a bit more colour in the trees, and we’re usually busy harvesting the cider apples - and if there's enough interest... I set up the apple mill and press and let guests start juicing apples from the orchard.

You’d be very welcome back any time.

Regards,


Howard

We appreciate you sharing your photos too — it’s always great to see the place through our guests’ eyes. You’d be very welcome back any time.

Thanks!

Syntes om The hosts were lovely! They made us feel very welcome, and were very accomodating. The site was lovely, and we camped surrounded by beautiful apple trees. It was very spacious, so you didn't feel like there were other campers on top of you! The coffee and croissants that we had for breakfast were great. We'd love to come back, and would encourage anyone to go.

Fra bestyreren: Hi Ellie!

It was lovely meeting you both, great to hear you liked our place (especially the croissants!).

I hope you had a save drive home.

Hope to see you both here again soon!

Howard

Syntes om Beautiful location, easy to find, really well spaced pitches meaning it is quiet (there is a walk from car parking, but was OK for me - wheelbarrow provided). Facilities sufficient.

Syntes ikke om The chat with the owner at the start was a bit OTT for me personally- the map of the site was enough.

Fra bestyreren: Hello Helena,

Thank you so much for your kind comments — we're really glad you appreciated the peaceful setting, generous pitch spacing, and found the wheelbarrow handy for the short walk from the parking area.

We totally understand your feedback about the check-in chat. As a working farm, we’re not quite your average campsite — so that initial welcome is partly about helping guests settle in, but also about making sure everyone’s aware of a few important safety and practical bits that might not apply elsewhere (especially with tractors and tree nurseries in the mix!).

And with just 12 pitches in a 15 acre commercial cider orchard I wouldn't want anyone to feel lost... especially as there aren't 'formal' pitch signs and numbers like a 'normal' campsite!

That said, we always want to strike the right balance, so we appreciate your honesty and will keep refining how we do things. Thanks again for choosing Bowhayes Farm — we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Regards,

Howard
