Gwatkin Red Cow Campsite

Positiv: It was basic but great. The farm animals were beautiful. The site is small and compact with few level spaces on the field however its a park up wherever type space which is good for campervans. The restaurant on site was so delicious! The cider selection was vast and well priced.

Negativ: Only nit-picking, the toilet facilities are away from the campsite which made nightime runs entertaining!

Positiv: Facilities are basic but clean. it’s quiet and just what we needed for a weekend to unwind from the daily grind. The food at the onsite restaurant is top quality as is the cider, especially the Elderflower and Rubarb.

Positiv: Lovely camping field on a site located on a working farm, away from the main road so very quiet. There are toilets and showers on site with a brand new shower block (almost finished when we stayed) surrounded by orchards and livestock, with walks through the fields and rivers nearby. A restaurant is also on site with a shop selling drinks, snacks, cakes, and Gwatkin own home brewed small batch cider with the option to taste a small sample of any you like before you buy. The owners and staff are friendly and helpful, nothing is too much bother and they are very accommodating. There is a small collection of wild fowl and orphaned cows and sheep on the site and the site owners are quite happy to talk about their animals and the farm. Dogs are welcome and if they have good recall probably fine to be loose although if they are a bit over friendly best kept on a lead.

Negativ: Not really a “dislike” but it’s worth remembering that this is a working farm. For our stay over a weekend it was mostly quiet, but when looking after animals, remember the working day starts at dawn!

Positiv: Fantastic restaurant and farm shop. Owner was extremely relaxed given we had made some alterations to the booking etc. Toilets/showers all very clean. Good walks from site.

Negativ: Nothing much - be aware it is a working farm so some noisy animals! But actually very authentic for that.

Positiv: Great little site, nice and quiet. Produce their own cider that's brilliant. Cracking little restaurant too.

Negativ: Could do with a better toilet and shower block. But it's not a major issue ans the one's provided were clear and functional

Positiv: One of the loveliest campsites we have stayed at - gorgeous setting and really helpful staff. Especially loved the resident animals! We cannot wait to return and stay here again and bring the children next time. Cannot recommend the rhubarb cider and biscoff slices enough - worth the 3 hour drive just for those alone!

Positiv: Lovely, friendly and quiet site. Clean toilets and showers. Great cider and lovely restaurant on site.

Negativ: Washing up is fairly basic but functional. If busy, the site is not that flat so May be hard to find a flat pitch.

Positiv: Able to select own pitch. Direct access to restaurant with a good breakfast and dinner available. Animals to see which the children enjoyed. Covered area in front of barn with a few picnic tables.

Negativ: Lots of areas for possible improvement, cleaning the showers (only 2 available) and they need a small shelf/stool so your not putting your clothing etc on muddy and dusty floor. Grass in camping field really needs cutting! Lots of mess and hazards around farm area which is the access route through to the facilities so tricky with small children especially when dark. One washing up sink for whole campsite which was very low down and very difficult to use (also surrounded by clutter/rubbish and needs cleaning) Recycling/rubbish bins shared with restaurant and overfull when we arrived and for the whole stay.

Positiv: Liked:- Ciders and Perrys Working farm Stunning valley to be in Great restaurant food Good cafe Informal pitches ie just a field

Negativ: Could be better:- Cafe options during the day better cakes and lunch options could be available all day, but plenty of local options. Vege cooked too softly for modern tastes, try to offer al dente? They’re new at this so will improve pitches and services over time. Need branding and marketing advice, all a little bit confused.
