Wood Farm Holiday Park

Positiv Hi! We wanted to compliment the park and staff on their friendliness and helpfulness. We were welcomed in a most friendly fashion and had such professional and courteous interactions with restaurant, pool, reception and maintenance staff. I'd like to acknowledge the gentleman with the impressive mullet and heavy-metal tattoos. I never got his name but he was so friendly and kind to my kids, it will be a lasting memory!

Negativ If there was a communal braai/bbq area, that would have pushed my experience over the top!

Positiv We loved our stay at Wood Farm! The camping pod was perfect for our needs.
It had a double bed, bunk bed, table and chairs, a small storage unit and a small clothes drying rack. The bedside lights were a brilliant touch and there were plenty of electric points for charging phones etc.

We also loved the fact they have two fenced in dog walking fields (although we only used one) it was perfect for our dog to stretch his legs and have a good sniff round.

The toilet/shower block was clean with plenty of toilets and showers/toothbrushing sinks so there were no queues at any point and plenty of toilet paper throughout the day. I was surprised there was only one hand washing sink with soap dispenser though, but it wasn't a problem during our stay.

The camping pod areas are at the top of the site right near the little shop, which is handy, although we didn't need to use it. The other facilities are at the bottom of a VERY steep hill but there is parking at the bottom of you have any elderly or disabled members in your group.

I can't comment on the facilities like the pool/play area etc as we didn't use them. The site is very close to Lyme Regis and on the doorstep of Charmouth etc so we were on the beaches most of the time.
There were plenty of dog friendly areas on the beaches even in august so that was fantastic for us.

I've seen a few other reviews about the WiFi being expensive. It is a little pricey, however you can have upto 6 devices connected for the price you pay. The site had very good network coverage though, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Overall we had a fantastic stay and would definitely book Wood Farm again.

Negativ There was only one complaint we had about our stay and that was the cafe. You expect it to be a little pricey as it's an on-site convenience however, it is absolutely extortionate for the portion size you receive.

We ordered two bacon rolls which were each about the size of a McDonald's cheese burger with thin, cheap bacon and were £5.25 which is disgusting now I think of it. Especially when Charmouth has a bakery doing decent size rolls with several slices of thick tasty bacon for much less!
We also had a 'full english' which was tiny for the £8.95 they charge.

Also avoid the milkshakes which had a very weird consistency and tasted very artificial.

Positiv The pod was very nice and and check in was pretty good there was a lovely pool the kids enjoyed swimming in it
The grounds were nice and tidy
And the staff very helpful the shower block was good and not to far from our pod the hill was a bit of a killer
Over all I would stay again

Negativ It’s a shame that the pods were set close to the road and some nights the traffic noise was quite loud
The pod was nice but there are subtle signs of ware and tear the door didn’t always shut properly but they knew this and did try and rectify this
The showers are good but again they are showing signs is ware and need a bit of a deep clean and spruce up
It’s a shame the pool isn’t open a little longer as it would be nice if folks could have a swim later in the day
The onsite shop is helpful but very expensive

Positiv The location the simplicity of the pod , nice to step off grid ! No tv and beautiful views.

Negativ Showers limescaled up and had to keep presssing the button to keep the water flowing. Made showering harder than it had to be .
The cafe prices were extortionate !!
£38 for fish and chips x2 with a soft drink 😔

Positiv The pod was warm and cosy. Clean and tidy on arrival. Good for us with one child and a dog.
Swimming pool was lovely, perfect for our stay, we used it twice. Easy to book and get in to. Sauna was a bonus too.
Dog walk was ideal, safe and secure. Peaceful and picturesque.
Shop was well stocked, friendly / helpful staff.
The park itself has good amenities, lovely planting and well maintained. Beautiful natural surroundings.

Negativ Taps in the toilets / shower block as they run a lot - find this a bit wasteful for the planet.
Could you have recycled toilet paper?

Positiv We stayed in a pod, great views of the park and country side.
The pod was as described, basic but comfortable, great outside space for alfresco living. Pool and tennis courts on site was a bonus. Sourdough pizza from the cafe was amazing.

Negativ My only grumble is the showers needed to be cleaned more often, towards the end of the day they were looking grubby.
