Middlehills Farm Campsite

Liked Easy, clean, safe and fun

Liked Big tent pitches, clean toilets and showers, big playground for children. There is a camp shop, ice creams and they made fresh pizza on afternoon. It is nice place to have brake and spend time with family.

Liked A great family friendly campsite. I haven't been camping in years, and it was my youngest sons first time in a tent and we both loved it. Facilities were great, he loved the play park and the pizza was delicious.

Liked It was a lovely campsite situated in a very nice, convenient area. The facilities were spot on with great views. It was generally very peaceful and the pizza van was a very nice addition too. The check in process was very quick and easy. It felt a safe campsite, all of the staff were extremely friendly and we would definitely return.

Disliked While the site itself was brilliant with great facilities and very friendly staff, unfortunately our experience was impacted by a noisy group pitched next to us. Despite the site’s clear policy of no single sex groups over four people and no music after 10:30pm, the group (seven young lads) played loud music and were shouting well past midnight. We reported this to the on-site security just after midnight, who did respond and spoke to them, but the noise continued. We also called reception around 12:30am, and someone did come down again, but unfortunately the disruption carried on until around 1am. It was a real shame, as it made it hard to sleep and took away from what would otherwise have been a fantastic stay.

From the manager: Hi, Thankyou for your review. This group caused us no problems at all and they were asked to turn their music off at 10.30pm which they did. You spoke to security who asked them to keep it down which again they did. You called the house and my husband went out and said all they were doing was talking, not loud, just sat round chatting so left them too it. Unfortunately we cannot ask people to not talk and be in bed by 10.30pm, and I'm sorry that they disturbed you, its very hard to please everyone and of course if they were being loud and playing music we would have stopped them but in this case that simply wasn't the case.
I do hope you return again.

Liked Large unrestricted pitch sizes. Friendly welcoming and accommodating staff. Well stocked shop. Views. Children’s play area. Great location. Plenty of facilities.

Liked Shop onsite. Lovely scenery.
Plenty toilets (£1 for 5 minutes shower) though was a very busy site.
Pizza available onsite in the evenings which I thought was good. A few takeaways offer to deliver to the site.

Disliked Dogs have to be on leads all the time. There is a brewery which is a walk through fields from the back of the site, but you'll struggle to get an old dog over the gates.
Site itself needs more trees planting as very little shade and was very hot when we stayed.
If you're walking and leaving the site, there's only a cattle grid so difficult to get a dog over there. There is a pub a short walk away, though no path on the road so potentially quite perilous.

From the manager: Hi, Thanks for your review. Yes of course dogs have to be on leads at all times, firstly you are staying on a farm, there is livestock around, plus my hens as it is their home as well as mine, and then we would have dogs shitting everywhere ! Can you imagine how it would be with dogs roaming round everywhere ?? There is a stile to walk over to get to the brewery, we cant put anything else in as the sheep would climb over it, the same as at the bottom of the drive, but again you are staying on a farm ! We wont be planting any trees as they would take away the stunning views that surround the campsite.

Liked Lovely playground, good pizzas, clean facilities, lots of space to pitch tent, very handy shop!

Liked Nice location. We had the place to ourselves so was lovely and peaceful
Good wash up and toilet facilities
Nice park for the kids
Small onsite shop that sells a good variety of things

Disliked It's on a little slope so not the flattest of ground. That's the only bad thing about the site

Liked What's not to like. The site was lovely, Staff extremely friendly and suggested we went to try the bar at the next farm, which was a lovely addition to the stay. Toilets and shower area were clean and tidy. Pizza hut was a hit. Will definitely stay again and already recommended to friends

Disliked Only thing to spoil it were 2 lads in the next tent, screeching until 1am

Liked Ground well prepared and spacious field. Couple animals to see on the farm. Small shop available with essentials. Pizza van on a weekend. Great playground for kids. Clean toilets and no queues.

Disliked Extra pay for shower and hair dryer. Water out early.
