Sweet Hill Farm

Syntes om Very clean campsite for the sheer size of it! Lovely vibes with live music and a cafe.

Syntes ikke om The pitches were very difficult to figure out where each tent/van should be. Everyone felt like they were on top of each other. Maybe some marked pitches might be a good idea

Fra bestyreren: Hello Joanne

Thank you for this review and for sharing your photos too. There's nothing better than seeing Portland through a guest's eyes :)

We're so pleased the views, showers and relaxed atmosphere made such a positive impression. That laid back, unhurried vibe is something we're really passionate about here and it's always wonderful to hear it resonates with our guests.

We appreciate your honest feedback on the portaloos. We do our very best to keep them clean and well maintained throughout the day and we understand they aren't to everyone's taste, it's something we continue to look at as the site grows and develops.

Syntes om Views, open fields, friendly staff

Fra bestyreren: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We're really glad the views, open fields and our team all made a positive impression. Our staff work so hard to make every guest feel welcome and it's always lovely to hear their efforts appreciated.

We completely understand your feedback on the portaloos and we're grateful for your patience. We're pleased to share that we are currently awaiting planning permission for a permanent toilet block on site, which we're very much hoping will be approved and in place for guests to enjoy in the not too distant future. In the meantime our team continue to clean and maintain the portable facilities as regularly as possible throughout the day.

We very much hope you'll come back and visit the campsite again.

Syntes om Lovely chilled-out campsite in a beautiful spot.
Great cafe for breakfast, drinks and really enjoyed the Saturday night paella/ music.
I stayed in Sweet Hill Pasture field which had a lovely view of Portland Bill lighthouse. Flat pitch (but exposed when the wind picked up).
Easy check-in, friendly staff.
Excellent value.

Syntes ikke om As others have commented, portaloos aren't ideal but they were in a perfectly acceptable state considering it was a busy summer holiday weekend.
Sinks and cold water taps in the field.
Lots of people arrived later on Saturday evening and pitched up very close to us so it became a little cramped. As I was in a camper van they hadn't really appreciated that we would have liked a little space allowed for our table and chair!

Fra bestyreren: Hey Sam

Thank you so much for this wonderfully detailed review, it really is a joy to read and means a great deal to everyone here at Sweet Hill Farm.

We're so pleased Sweet Hill Pasture worked so well for you, that view of Portland Bill lighthouse really is something special, isn't it! We're also thrilled to hear you enjoyed the café, the Saturday evening paella and music. Those evenings are something we put a lot of love into and it's always wonderful to hear guests enjoy them as much as we do. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to the team.

Thank you for your generous and fair comments about the portaloos, we completely appreciate they aren't everyone's preference, and we're glad they were in an acceptable state despite it being such a busy weekend. We continue to monitor and maintain them as regularly as we possibly can.

Regarding spacing between pitches, this is something we're very mindful of and we're sorry that late arrivals on the Saturday evening left you feeling a little cramped. As our fields are open rather than marked pitches, it can be a challenge to manage spacing during busier periods, particularly for campervans where a little extra room makes such a difference. It's really helpful feedback and something we'll continue to work on with our team to ensure everyone has the space to enjoy their stay comfortably.

We very much hope to welcome you back to Sweet Hill Farm again, perhaps for another paella evening!

Syntes om Flat field. No frills. Lovely view of the sea and the top of Portland bill lighthouse.
There were families playing cricket when we arrived so a lovely friendly feel.
The cafe on site is a real bonus.
Lovely friendly welcome from staff member on arrival at the cafe.

Syntes ikke om Nothing. Although the approach to the girls with construction materials and mounds of earth isn’t the prettiest, it didn’t matter to us.
I didn’t visit the portaloos as I chose to use my loo in the van. My husband said there were no lights in the loos, so we would recommend this is added to avoid dropping a torch or phone down the portaloo!
We also didn’t shower, partly as there was a cost. I think showers should be included in the camping rates, as it was slightly expensive for a basic field with a portaloo but I’m sure you are paying for the great location.

Fra bestyreren: Hello Jo

Thank you so much for this wonderfully detailed and thoughtful review. It’s nice to hear that the view, the atmosphere and the café all made such a positive impression, and that the friendly game of cricket gave you a lovely welcome to the site. That kind of spontaneous community spirit is exactly what Sweet Hill Farm is all about.

We're also glad to hear the approach to the site didn't detract too much from your overall experience. We are currently working on ongoing improvements to the site and we very much appreciate your patience and understanding during this time as we can't wait for guests to see the finished results!

Thank you for the very practical suggestion regarding lighting in the portaloos, it's a brilliant point and we'll certainly be looking into this as we wait for planning permission to build a permanent toilet block and we're grateful you took the time to flag it.

Regarding the shower charge, we completely understand your perspective and appreciate you raising it so fairly and honestly. The small charge helps us to maintain the hot water and upkeep of the facilities, though we always take feedback on pricing seriously and will continue to review how we can offer the best possible value for our guests.

We very much hope to welcome you and your husband back to Sweet Hill Farm again

Syntes om Will definitely be returning- views were great, nice chill vibe to the campsite. Toilets were clean and the cafe was delicious for breakfast! Amazing place to stay to reach Battleship and Blacknor climbing area

Fra bestyreren: Thank you so much for this review, we're absolutely delighted to hear you'll be returning :)

We're so pleased the views, the atmosphere and the facilities all hit the mark during your stay. That relaxed vibe is something we're very passionate about and it's lovely to hear it came through so naturally. We're also thrilled you liked the café as there's nothing quite like a delicious breakfast to set you up for a day on the cliffs! Having Battleship and Blacknor right on the doorstep is pretty hard to beat. We love that the site works so well as a base for getting out and exploring the area.

We very much look forward to welcoming you back, see you next time!

Syntes om Great location lovely walk along coastal path from there.

Great little coffee/snack hut where you check in

Reasonable price for location

Did not use loos or shower as I have a Moho

Syntes ikke om The very sharp ingress/egress on to a hill was a tad tricky as road was sandy/gritty hard to see to turn and other drivers had no dang patience to let me out.
