Bradshaw Farm

Liked We’ve just returned from a 2 night stay at Bradshaw farm. I booked a furnished bell tent which consisted of a double airbed and two single airbeds (parent and 2 kids) with a kettle and toaster. The field is as flat as can be for a field, toilet facilities are kept as clean as possible (more toilets to be added this week owners said) and shower facility was clean and useable. I paid extra for electric hook up.
The kids were able to pop across to the farm and say hello to the animals, Wendy & Richard were very welcoming and friendly. Kids pools were available to hire for around £12 a day but wasn’t warm enough for us to hire unfortunately. We will return such a lovely place to stay.

Disliked We hired the furnished tent that came with linen. Only thing I would suggest is a slightly thicker duvet as we probably would have been cold if we hadn’t of taken extra blankets.

Liked The bell tents are lovely and a fantastic price. It was very quiet too. If you enjoy a truly back to basics camping style then this place is for you.

Disliked Obviously, for the price we weren’t expecting five-star facilities, but we did feel a few things were lacking. The main issue was the absence of bins, especially a dog waste bin. Taking normal rubbish home isn’t a big problem, but having to drive back with dog poo in the car was unpleasant.

The portaloos themselves were fine, but there really needed to be more of them, as they filled up and overflowed quite quickly. The shower room was usable, though the solar lights didn’t work and there was no tap at the sink. Finally, there was no dedicated pot washing area, so we ended up rinsing dishes under the drinking water tap.

Most of this is understandable given the price, but if the site is advertised as dog-friendly, a dog waste bin really does feel essential.

Liked Great weekend, booked as a group and very polite site owners, nothing was too much trouble! Thanks!

Liked We’ve had a great weekend camping here. The owner was lovely, he checked in with us a few times to make sure everything was ok, he also had paddling pools for hire which the kids loved. With it being a new site it is very basic but has toilets, a shower, a small farm shop, a cafe for pre booked breakfast and an owner that can’t do enough to help make sure you have a great stay so you definitely get your money’s worth, we can’t wait to come back again next year.

Disliked My only dislike is that there are only two toilets but for £10 a night some sites wouldn’t even have that, the owner did say that he’s going to be getting more and making upgrades.

Liked Everything. It was quiet and peaceful. Richard and Wendy are both lovely, I like the way they came round a couple of times a day just to check that all is well and if you need anything. Excellent place for a bit of star gazing, saw many satellites, a few planes and one shooting star! Was lulled to sleep by the gentle sound of a hooting owl, and awoke to the amazing sound of a very busy rookery in the trees nearby. This site is very, very basic which is exactly what I wanted, and they delivered. Had a tour of the farm yard and the animals and met their rather mighty and majestic bull as well as the pigs, goats, cows and miniature horses. As an animal fanatic I was in my element. The tiny cafe is basic and fab, the food was really great too. Honestly, they couldn’t be more helpful if they tried. I will definitely be coming back and hopefully for longer than a couple of nights. Excellent value for money, for saying they only started this venture quite recently, they’re doing a great job. I highly recommended a visit. Feel awful not giving top stars for cleanliness, but it’s honest and I wouldn’t expect anything more from a fully working farm, I also wouldn’t change it either. As cafes go it is the quirkiest cafe I have ever visited and quirky in THE best way possible. Can’t wait to go back. I gave full stars for WiFi, no idea if they have WiFi but I had no issues with my phone connecting to social media etc during my stay in the field.

Disliked Nothing…other than my stay was too short. Back at work today wishing I was back in my tent in the peaceful haven of their camping field.

Liked Cheap and cheerful no frills but such a price means a bit of wild camping was made accessible to enjoy some nice weather for 2 days ! Even the teenagers turned up and had a great night outdoors .. Owners v friendly and on the whole was a good experience

Disliked People on reviews moaned about the chemical toilets but at least they had some and to be honest for this price to have toilets is already good

Liked The farmer was really helpful and accommodating. He went out of his way to show the children the animals and tractors. I was worried about staying because of some reviews but honestly it was fab. Also provided paddling pools for the kids.

Disliked Toilets. But this wasn't their fault as a guest was putting nappies in there. They could do with a couple more though.

Liked An absolute gem of a find. Cheap for what you get which is a great pitch and a quiet field.

Are there teething issues yes but this is their first year doing this and from what I heard from the farmer (Richard) they have got some great plans for the coming years.

Will I be coming here again, yes I will 👍🏾

Liked We had the most incredible time. Honestly could not have asked for more friendly hosts. Nothing was too much to ask. We felt so welcomed there. The campsite was perfect for what we wanted. We've just booked to go back... See you in a couple of weeks!

Disliked We disliked having to leave! We didn't want to go home!

Liked The hosts were just fantastic - so friendly and happy! My kids loved the open field where they played cricket and rounders. The size of the tent was really amazing and we had a really relaxing day. The farm shop was great and the farmer made a smashing cup of tea! Just wanted to say sorry to the hosts for leaving muddy footprints in the tent- we tried to clean them up but ran out of wipes! Loved the experience overall.

Disliked The flashing fairy lights behind our tent were a little annoying but we understood why they were there.
