Liked: The toilets and showers were great. They were clean and the showers was nice and hot. Nice to have a phone call when we arrived.

Disliked: The info and reviews on Pitch up don’t seem to match the campsite. We actually thought we might’ve arrived at the wrong site to start with!

- Derelict structures on the field
- under a flight path
- Noisy neighbours had a party until 2am
- no tea/coffee van - might not bother most people but was a draw for us

Liked: Facilities (toilets, shower) were in a good condition (although no light so you have to bring your own later in the evening).

Disliked: Some information about the site wasn’t accurate - there was no coffee or tea tent, and the animals didn’t feel like they were connected
to the camp site (and no eggs as the pictures indicate!). There were shacks/structures on the site (from a festival?) that didn’t seem particularly safe for children to play in (some were fenced off but with gaps in the fence, others not fenced off). The site was directly under a flight path - this didn’t bother us too much but might disturb others. More disturbing was that there was a noisy party in a nearby house that went on long into the night. There was nobody there to greet us, but we did get a phone call. The fire pits burnt the long grass underneath so potentially not safe to use in very dry conditions.

Liked: Beautiful surroundings, quiet local village, pizza oven on site, bar on site, good pitches and space between tents, relaxed atmosphere, football pitch and giant chair for kids, walking distance to local town and pubs and play park, table tennis, coffees on site

Disliked: Dog poo in field, lack of sinks for hand washing after using loo, one sink for whole campsite for washing up, washing hands, cleaning teeth etc. lack of recycling bins (none!!), some of loo and shower doors were not able to be locked, one of showers was freezing, one too hot.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about the dog poo in the field, we encourage owners to keep dogs on leads for this reason but do keep dog poo bags available and are happy to clear up, if brought to our attention. We have tried recycling in the past but incorrect items have been placed in the bin and has caused the bins to be rejected. We are looking to improve bin management in the future. We have the showers on a thermostat, we know everyone has there preferences and are able to change the temperature when requested. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to see you again. Thank you, Vann Farm Camping

Liked: Beautiful area. Went for a lovely walk in the woods to the lake. Also found some lovely pubs nearby. Site was a great size and very peaceful.
Pizzas available in evening as well as hot drinks ice creams and breakfast sandwiches. We didn't avail of this but it's a nice touch. Great if you want to travel light although they were overpriced.

Disliked: Having to park away from where we pitched tent. Lots of holes in ground and surface generally uneven which could be a health and safety hazard.
Biggest issue is that this site do not get the basics right. There was no running water in the portaloos so you had to wash hands in the one basin that was used for cleaning dishes and brushing teeth.water at this sink was cold as were some of the showers. People were using the hot shower to wash pots and pans. The doors on the toilets did not close.
Added extras like shop are nice to have but decent toilets, showers and washing area are essential. You need to get the basics right.

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback we are trying to improve with every visit. Due to the dry conditions we did allow cars onto the campsite for set up and breakdown, however outside of this we try to avoid vehicles on the site due to children running about and to make the area as safe as possible. We are also working on a more permanent plumbing set-up for the 2023 season. We’ve just checked the toilet doors and they do all lock so I believe this has been rectified. Thank you, Vann Farm Camping
