Manor Farm

Positiv Another really enjoyable repeat visit to Manor Farm. Nigel and Yvonne are genial hosts and the site doesn’t disappoint, offering tranquillity, privacy and birdsong and the bubbling stream for company. There is just something about cooking over a campfire in the open air that is unbeatable. I’m sure to return for another visit as it is set up perfectly for comfortable wild camping and is so handy for day trips out to the many attractions in Dorset and Somerset that surround it, if you can pull yourself away from the campsite itself. Next time, I hope I can make the time to stay here for longer.

Thank you for the 10/10 review!
And yes, really hope to see you here again - longer next time ! Xx

Positiv The Manor Farm camping site was a little bit of paradise found. The only thing I heard for 36 hours was the sound of the stream, the birds and the wind in the trees. It was so beautiful, peaceful and private. I was lucky enough to have sunshine the entire time I was there but Nigel and Yvonne were so lovely it was almost like they had laid that on as well!! If you want an off grid, back to nature (but with a proper loo and running water) clean and so well thought out but remote site then I can’t recommend Manor Farm highly enough. Stock up on your camping food supplies from their little farm shop, it’s fab!!

Negativ Having to leave….I could have stayed all week.

We’d love to order sunshine all the time, although we do need rain sometimes for the farm crops and the trees!!
We look forward to seeing you here again in the future.
Many thanks Xx

Positiv Secluded, only one way in and out. dogs loved it, they had the freedom of the forest. Toilet was clean. Lovely place to stay. Nigel and Yvonne were excellent help for arrival and taking us through to the site providing a nice map of the area and a some sites to see. Would definitely recommend and will stay here again!

Positiv This was an exceptional experience. We chose the site because it was a single and exclusive pitch. We found more than we hoped for. Nigel and Yvonne went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Nigel introduced us to ax-throwing and took our two children under his wing and gave them a taste of farm life. They collected eggs and fed the hens among other things. The site itself is very secluded, wooded, with a large pitch alongside a burbling stream. The toilet was very clean. There was a tap for fresh, clean water on site. We didn’t luck out on the weather but the the site and the family made up for this. Loads. Manor Farm shop is a 15 min walk through lovely meadows and sells produce from the farm. The apple juice and eggs were excellent.

Negativ Nothing.

Vom Platzbetreiber: So glad you enjoyed yourselves here in the woods, on the farm.
We hope to see you here again sometime.
Many thanks for your kind review.

Positiv You really do have the whole woodland to yourself so great if you don’t want to be disturbed by other campers. Having a working toilet and fresh water tap is useful.
The large fire pit is fantastic for cooking and the focal point especially in the evenings. An under cover area next to the fire to keep things dry if it rains is very handy. There’s even a hammock to use if you want to chill out for a bit and just take in your surroundings. The owners are very friendly and helpful, there if you need them but happy to leave you alone.

Negativ None.

Positiv Seclusion. Lovely woodland. Good toilet and fire pit. Peaceful and quiet. Owners helpful and friendly. Lots of logs for fire and sheltered area to sit if raining. Lots of space for our collie to run around. Shower bag also great to hang from tree. Really lovely camp.

Negativ Nothing really aside from public footpaths not clear. Not a problem for us as our collie enjoyed the run around.

Positiv Lovely secluded woodland site set up perfectly for wild camping with a grassy clearing or wood chipped terrace to set up tents with the added benefit of fresh water and a flushing toilet. Friendly, welcoming and helpful hosts. Ideal for staying put and enjoying the sounds of nature or local walks on public footpaths in the surrounding countryside. For anyone who enjoys a camp fire and cooking over wood, the large fire pit area and covered shelter is perfect. Also, it is well situated to make day visits to the plentiful attractions in Somerset and Dorset, many listed on the hosts' guide leaflet that you are given on arrival. Overall, spot on for those looking for a wild camping style experience with some amenities.

Negativ Nothing - hope to return in future for a longer stay.
