Berrends Farm Caravan and Camp Site

Liked Easy to find and a good stop off for us. Clean toilet facilities and always open despite previous reviews saying that they were locked up.

Disliked Motorway noise. Working farm so more flies. Not much within walking distance. Thought overnight price was expensive in comparison to the previous site's we'd stayed at further south.

Liked Lovely area, animals are so sweet, farm worker was very friendly and introduced us to some of the animals. Great little spot. Plenty of pitch space and well spread out.

Liked I had the loveliest stay for a few days at this peaceful and attractive site. It is fairly small and has plenty of trees around creating some very welcome shade in a heatwave. The owner is friendly and generous, offering me the opportunity to leave later than usual on my last day as the site, unusually, wasn’t busy.
The bathrooms were thoroughly cleaned each day, and there is a fridge available for communal use.
There were calves, goats and a large pig who were enjoyable to watch The occasional farmyard noises including animals added to the charm.
The free wifi was good enough for me to do some computer work, necessary but unavoidable!
I’ll definitely be back from time-to-time to repeat my peaceful, de-stressing few days’ break.

Disliked Nothing.

Liked The view was nice, owner pleasant, grass well kept. Price.

Disliked Had to phone on arrival and nobody answered, then when we got through to an office they didn’t know we were arriving?

Didn’t know where to pitch. The gardener advised anywhere as it’s not a bank holiday.

General waste bin full to brim, flies everywhere. Toilets and showers smelt really bad. Not enough toilet roll.

Pot wash station was very unhygienic, previous residents left items there?

Flies everywhere! Huge amount of insects which infested our tent. Never experienced that before.

Huge noisy family next to us which were loud most of the night. We just wanted some peace!!

Woken by farmers shouting at cows and dogs early in morning.

Taps too strong at wash station that they soak you.


If this campsite remains like this surely rats around the bins and potentially near guests will infest it. Bins were swarming in the heat by flies, rubbish just mounted up.

Such a shame as we had good expectations before arriving, has the potential of being so much nicer, but overall our experience was a nightmare. Had to travel out most days to just get away from it all.

From the manager: Sorry nothing was right for you.!!!!

Would suggest a farm is not a place for you to go.

I havent got a dog so your comment is strange !!

I was in Scotland with no signal. My phone diverts to my work.

There are signs everywhere saying please make contact if any problems. No contact was made.

The ironic thing is I wish you had been told to go into the non electric field rather in the electric area close to amenities.

I will contact putchup to see if you can be black listed.

Liked Quiet clean site, spacious pitches

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for booking and review.

When it is quiet we allow the non electric people to park in the electric area. Moving forward I will do signage out for when its busy.

Best wishes

Liked Lovely farm site. Easy access from motorway. Well cared for. Friendly. Clean. Well kept level grass pitches. Felt surrounded by nature & farm animals. Suited us better than more developed sites.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Oh this has really upset me.

Other people I have spoken to thing this is most cruel.

They obviously couldnt/can't read as there are signs up asking for anything of concern please make contact and it would be put right immediately.

No calls no texts no messages were recoeved.

We must remember a facility is only as clean as the last person using it !!
