From the manager: Hi there, the toilets, showers and washing up area are cleaned between 3 and 6 times a day depending on occupancy levels. At the start of the season everything is re-painted including the floors. It is an outside facility and we don't aim to emulate hotel standards with dust, mud, leaves and grass regularly finding its way into the toilets and showers. During cleaning we have to deal with pee all around the toilets, blocked toilets due to excessive toilet paper and other non flushable products and even those who have a tummy upset and haven't managed to sit down before they erupt, it is a lovely job, we are always looking for keen volunteers if you are up for it?
The place was clean and organised. The toilet and the shower was…

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Had a lovely bank holiday weekend at Palace Farm, the owners were very welcoming and helpful. The campsite is spacious and has good facilities which were regularly cleaned. There is a lovely local village, and supermarkets etc not too far away in the car. As mentioned on other reviews the owners have clear rules regarding noise levels, which we felt was positive as created a nice relaxed atmosphere without lots of loud music which has been an issue late a night with other campsites at times.

Liked: The location, only a five minute walk to The Chequers Pub, which does great food but large portions. Nice site will use again. You can charge up phones and re chill ice blocks which is very handy.
Disliked: The only issue was the hooks on back of the shower doors are too small to hang stuff on easily. Minor issue though.
