Bell tent (no pets)
Liked: We loved our stay at Thorncombe Farm. The tents and beds were comfortable and well equipped, Vanessa was friendly and helpful, and there was lots of space for the children to play. We all had a great time and didn’t want to leave. The goats in the adjoining field were a bonus and added to the feeling of being miles away from everyday life, for us.
Disliked: Nothing

Unpowered grass site
Liked: Fantastic location with great access to main roads, linking you to both Dorset attractions and Devon! Facilities onsite were great, making our stay all the more enjoyable, relaxed and easy - not easy when you're camping with kids and a dog! The field was lovely and the views were faultless, the goats were a great attraction for our son.
