New Farm

Liked Lovely location and the layout of the pitches is great. The pitches and paths between them are mown into longer grass which is something I would love to see in more smaller sites. The hosts were really helpful and welcoming but the stars of the show were, of course, the animals, particularly the goats and a very friendly cat! My son could have happily spent the entire weekend feeding the goats if we didn't have anything else planned. There is a decent sized playground directly opposite the entrance to the site and the local pub is a 2-3 minute walk away. The food there was very nice.

Disliked I know it has been mentioned in other reviews but the only complaint we had with the site was with the toilets. Were it not for them I would be leaving a 10/10 review. The inside locks definitely need replacing and it would be nice to have more substantial lights in them for when it's dark. We were aware ahead of our stay that they were compost toilets and had no issue with that beforehand. In theory they're great. In practice it only takes one person to miss the instructions (which were only printed in one of the two toilets) for it to become pretty unpleasant. There's a urine diverter just below the front of the seat that separates liquids from solids but when this inevitable got filled almost to the top with toilet paper and sawdust it made it very uncomfortable, particularly as a man with things hanging in that direction, to sit down. Also if you have any mobility issues at all I can't say that they would be easy to use. Obviously I can only speak from our experience with them and if used properly by everyone (I've included photo of the instructions) I'm sure they're fine. One positive I have to add is that I really didn't notice a smell from them.

Liked We received a very warm welcome on arrival. Our hosts showed us around and made a real effort to involve the boys with the animals, which they absolutely loved. They were especially excited to help feed the goats in the morning.

The site itself is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by trees and animals, creating a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere. It was the perfect stay for both us and the children, and there were plenty of resources and extras available if needed.

We had a brilliant weekend at New Farm and can’t wait to return soon. Highly recommended!

Disliked None.

Liked Everything about the place. It was beautiful and peaceful. The owner was lovely and helped us out when our electric socket wasn’t working. We definitely want to book again.

Disliked That I didn’t pack Hayfever tablets haha.

From the manager: Rhianne, thank you so much for such a wonderful review. It was a pleasure to meet you all and were so glad you found us.

Your welcome back any time as long as you pack your hay fever tablets...😁

Liked Lovely big pitch.
Cars were parked away from camping area so felt nice and open.
Ducks roaming around and goats etc to pet.
Quiet.
Pub with excellent food at a reasonable price just a few minutes walk away.
Showers were good, plenty of space in the room for a family.
Lots of useful things, freezer, microwave etc as well as board games and books.
Good value for money.

Disliked Toilets were interesting, not a major problem as only for a weekend. However, my granddaughter has a disability and found the steps quiet difficult as they were big and she is used to a grab rail at home so the "quirkiness " of them was a challenge. If there was any scope for just one conventional toilet in the shower area it would have helped. The compostable ones would still be there for those happy to use them, my other granddaughter didn't have a problem with them, but they are not good for anyone with mobility/sensory issues (In fairness though it is stated on website they are compostable toilets!).

From the manager: Hi Martina, thank you for your amazing review...😁

We're so glad you all had a great stay with us and would love to see you again sometime...

You're right, the eco loos are quirky but eco friendly and much less disruption than other installations.

Sorry your daughter found them tricky...we will look again at hand rails etc, we are constantly reviewing our facilities...so thanks for your feedback.

It was lovely to meet you all..

Best wishes, Mark and Chantal

Liked Friendly hosts, small, peaceful site with everything we needed, even the cute animals!

It's amazing to know that we're getting it about right😁

It was great to meet you all and we really hope we can tempt you back.

Liked Such an idilic location, only 6 or so pitches all with electric hook ups, large area around your pitch so lots of space between you and the neighbours. Loved the animals (goats, ducks, sheep, chickens and cat). Composting toilets in the shade and perfectly fine. Fridges/microwave/kettle for use of needed. Showers areas clean. Super easy to come and go as you please more or less.

Disliked Showers were cold in the morning, my only slightly annoyance but also invigorating, definitely woke you up!. Presumably the other campers had used it all the hot water up before we got there. We showered in the evening instead and plenty of hot water then so on a whole not a problem.

From the manager: Hi Guys, thank you for such a super review, it was lovely meeting you.

Sorry you had a cold shower, the hot water is set for 6am to 11am, it must have been re heating after a busy morning...

Hope to see you again soon.

Best wishes, Mark and Chantal
