Penn Meadow Farm

Liked: Friendly campsite, lovely views, you can pitch where you want. Loved the sheep dogs, such playful characters and we enjoyed visiting the sheep and alpacas. Bank holiday so fairly busy but a large space so still feels spacious.

Disliked: Not much you can dislike, a bit busy if you want a shower in the morning but it was a bank holiday weekend!

From the manager: Hi Steve,

Yes we do get very busy especially in the bank holidays, we are working on getting permission for more facilities

From the manager: HI Steve,

Thank you so much for taking time to leave a review, we are blessed to be at the top of the hills and it feels like the world is opening up below.

Liked: Lovely fields in nice quiet location.
3 Fancy showers with not too much demand. + two portaloos (not sure if any others)
Staff onsite were very friendly on arrival and laid back about where to pitch our tent.
Plenty of space for everyone to spread out.
Nice rural walk to the Royal Standard pub down the road.
Communal kitchen shed with tea and coffee etc, Kettle and stove. With washing up area behind.
Glamping belltents for people who want pre erected options.
Can see wildlife like Red Kites
Farmers field next to us had Pigs and goats.

Would happily stay again.

Disliked: Could do with a few more water points.

We could only get cold water at the washing up sink but we solved that by boiling the kettle in the little communal kitchen.

Unfortunately a rather noisy family of football fans spoilt it by being selfish and loud throughout the night on the Saturday but this isn't the campsites fault.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking time to leave us a review and such lovely photos too! We are so lucky to have the incredible beauty around us and we really do love what we do.

Im so sorry to hear you had interruptions form another group, we do try really hard to keep the noise to an expectable level.

Liked: Amazing experience
So relaxed and staff weren’t bothering us let us get on with things
Showers and toilets are amazing ( I mean I was so impressed they were like a hotel)
Cooking facilities were also brilliant.
Can’t wait to go back

From the manager: Hi Fin, Thank you so much for taking time to leave a review we really appreciate this! Yes we want to make sure everyone can enjoy a relaxed camping experience without an endless list of rules and regulations. We love the toilets too! The farmer has been featured on amazing spaces after converting a circus waggon and all those little details have found themselves into the toilet and shower block.
We look forward to seeing you very soon

Liked: Spacious, good facilities and you can choose your own space.

From the manager: HI Jakub, we are so glad you enjoyed the space and the facilities, we love being able to offer free tea, coffee and UHT milk in our open kitchen. Being able to choose a space makes the world of difference when in a large group, so we are pleased you also enjoyed that in your small group.

Liked: Very friendly and helpful hosts. The facilities were kept clean, plenty of room to pitch up. Very peaceful setting, with a lovely short walk to the local pub. Had a really nice stay :)

Disliked: Maybe could do with a few extra shower blocks for when it's busy.

From the manager: HI Will,

Thank you so much for taking time to leave us such a lovely review, the entire team really do care and love what they do. We hope you enjoyed every aspect of your trip and we look forward to seeing you again very soon.
We are looking into additional toilets and showers, it is just a little complicated with permissions as we are in an area of outstanding beauty.

Liked: Absolutely beautiful, very chilled, quirky. Good facilities. We had no issue with showers or toilets as they have added portaloos for when the combined toilet/shower cubicles are in use. The owners were super friendly and helpful and warned us there may be queues for the showers in the morning so we knew to go early. The little shared kitchen was a real unexpected bonus, having a kettle to speed up the coffee making process and a fridge/freezer was really helpful. We brought our own firewood with us but didn’t need to as they have a massive pile of stuff to burn that campers can help themselves to. The scenery is just gorgeous and I have never seen so many Red Kites in one place, they were amazing to watch. We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be returning.

Disliked: We were slightly confused where to go when we arrived but it was very quickly sorted by speaking to other campers already pitching. We saw a sign on a tree telling glampers where to go but not campers and we didn’t want to end up where we shouldn’t.

Not to do with campsite but just a note for fellow visitors - The Royal Standard does lovely food but does not cater for children at all.

From the manager: Hi Joanna,

Thank you so much for leavening us a review it really does mean the world to us and as you can tell the team really do put their heart into their work.

We love the kites too! They are just incredible to watch! The positioning of the Farm is just ideal for so many reasons.

The Kitchen makes such a difference when you just need that coffee in the morning or a tea after your journey before pitching your tent. We are so glad you had good use of it.

I'm so sorry about the signage, we agree completely that we need more and are in the process of purchasing new signage after an unfortunate incident with a group using them as fire wood. We have tightened up our rules on groups for this reason.

We are good friends with The Royal Standard (we all eat there a little too often in all honesty) and we will pass on your feedback to them :)

Liked: Great facilities, big field so able to find nice quiet spot despite being busy bank holiday weekend.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking time to leave a review. I am so glad you enjoyed the peace of the area despite the bank holiday and sunshine bringing out so many people. The on site team work hard to ensure a pleasant stay for everyone.
We hope to see you again very soon.
