Pitchcott Farm

Liked Loved the space and views, nice and local for us to access for an overnight getaway, close to a good pub, walks from the farm.
Basic compostable toilet (and hedgerow shower available for the brave!)
Able to hire a fire pit and purchase wood from site.
Only a few pitches (9?) so they were very well spaced out and infact you couldn't see half the campers due to the size of the field!

Disliked There was an event with music the night we stayed but we were not told about this when booking or when we met the owner in the afternoon and would have pitched further away from the music had we known. Was offered a refund as it went on til well after 10pm, but that's not what we are about. (We enjoyed the overall camping experience)
Thought £30 a night was a bit steep, but if you're only staying a night or two it won't break the bank

Liked Lovely clean and peaceful site with great views. Marshmallows round a fire pit, under the stars.

Elyse was super helpful, texting before, around if we needed anything, but it was all as described.

Would stay again.

Liked A very good site. Basic . Load's of wild life in the hedgerow. That's were you find the shower. Different. All good for me. Enjoyed my stay.

Liked Incredible space. Unique shower. Very helpful owner. It was great that there was an enormous barn in which to shelter in case of rain. The campsite is totally peaceful.

Liked Very good location, great views and good facilities.

Disliked Nothing

Liked The site was super quiet, easy to find, and had lots of relatively flat areas to pitch our tent. The composting toilet was okay, and the person I spoke to when we arrived (Elyse) was very friendly. A simple campsite if you want to be in that specific area, not sure it's exciting enough to stay otherwise.

Disliked The £70 I paid for two nights with two kids felt a little steep given that there is one sink, one toilet, a grubby looking barn with picnic benches, and soooo many spiky weeds all over the field so we couldn't wear sandals/flip flops, the kids could roll around/sit on the floor as they quite often enjoy doing.

From the manager: Hi Ellie, thanks for your feedback. There are a maximum of 10 pitches within the field in order to retain the wild nature of the site. It's a 15 acre field so campers have a lot of space and privacy. The facilities provided included 2 basins and the hot shower within the hedgerow. The philosophy of the farm is to balance the needs of people and nature. I'm glad you appreciated the quietness and simplicity. Best wishes, Tony

Liked Beautiful meadow
Hedgerow shower was very fun and novel

Liked We enjoy our stay and the feeling of spaciousness, being a huge field full of wild flowers with alot of distance between campers. Also liked the no car at tent rule, which adds to feeling of having gotten away from it all. (There are wheelbarrows to assist.)
There's also a barn which we used to dry tent before packing it away.

Had a great stay and we'll be back.

Disliked There is only one compost toilet and area to get water, which was fine and adequate for number of campers, but glad we brought a large water container.

Liked Loved the free nature of the pitches - very open and spacious. Would definitely recommend.

Liked Site is easy to find. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Everything was easy enough to find. Nice site good view. Short walk to a very nice pub and other things. Good price. Lots of space lots of privacy.

Disliked Could not download the site map. It kept failing so we didnt have the suggestion of 10 pitches or great idea without speaking to staff but staff made herself available at key times so didnt have to call which was good as she was in site at arrival time
