Hurstwood Farm

Liked We stayed in Shepherd's hut . The hut was clean and has all basic amenities . Amy was very helpful and she assisted us with all the necessary information beforehand.
Kids loved the quad bike with trailer ride from the car park .
Cool box was provided but make sure you bring packs of ice
The hut is solar powered and therefore bringing a fully charged power bank or power station is going to be helpful if you have fan or phones that needs charging many a times and the weather is cloudy

Liked Great size accommodation, with most things you could need. Lovely and quiet. Friendly staff.

Disliked Lots of spiders in the house. It felt like there had been no effort made to remove them (over 50). I live in the country and I’m pretty understanding, but they were everywhere.

From the manager: We take constructive criticism seriously so wanted to respond to the feedback regarding spiders. We are on a working farm and we take huge amounts of pride that our farm is full of huge amounts of wildlife, rare birds and rare butterflies. This is all because we try not to disrupt the eco system by leaving things be as much as possible. When we get very heavy rain as we did during your stay we do notice a lot more spiders tend to make their way inside our pods and cottages here on the farm. They are just trying to survive and as much as we try and humanely get rid of spiders in our accommodation we don't believe in killing them or sucking them up in the hoover. Every species of insect has a place to keep all the rare wildlife we are so incredibly lucky to have on our farm thriving. We will absolutely do our best to discourage the spiders as much as possible, just not to the detriment of all the incredible animals we have living here at Hurstwood Farm!
Unfortunately insect life and wildlife tends to be under estimated and un appreciated at times.

Liked Super quiet rural location. Really felt close to nature. Undisturbed. Tranquil.

Disliked I found as stated. Simple accommodation, but everything working and in place. Neat, clean and tidy.

Liked Everything. Bed perfect sleep. Location great for walking my dog. Btw best natural toilet and a separate unrial. Perfect. Also the washing area was the best I have seen.
Sure I did the Pod but they also allow tents will be back with my mate. Ps local pub had dinner it was very special and I ate in the garden, bliss.

Disliked Nothing all great

Liked Perfect spot, well away from road noise and a real feeling of being in nature. Small campsite as well which reinforced that feeling. Owners super helpful and friendly. Great hikes straight from the site and a lovely pub a v short walk away.

Disliked Log cost was a bit steep/wouldnt hurt to have another toilet.

Liked Natuurcamping met vriendelijke beheerders die de natuur voorrang geven. Geen auto's bij de tent, jij en je camping benodigdheden wordt naar je plaats gebracht. Standaard faciliteiten, voldoende voor mensen die weinig eisen hebben. In de avond en ochtend vroeg lopen de herten op het veld, geweldig om te zien. Eekhoorns achter je in het bos, dit is een echte natuurcamping. Ik heb hier vab een fijn verblijf mogen genieten.

Disliked Niet elke routeplanner kan het direct vinden, maar dat heeft ook wel weer zijn charme.

Liked Peaceful back to nature site with clean functional shower/dry toilet/kitchen block.
The owner was very helpful but left you to enjoy the site without interfering.
I slept like a log for the two nights of my stay, and will certainly return for more of the same.
Poor phone reception in the area which I initially thought may be an issue, but ended up adding to the overall peaceful experience.

Disliked Nothing

Liked We were very lucky to have the campsite to ourselves. The peace and quiet was just what we needed to recharge. The surrounding nature is beautiful and we spotted a lot of wildlife. A great place for walking. The facilities were great and the pod was cosy and comfortable. We felt very welcomed and will be looking to book another stay soon.
