North Down Orchard

Liked The field is spacious, and has the option for social activities if here on the right days. The facilities were really clean, and having access to a kitchen with fridge, kettle and hobs were appreciated. The option to rent a fire pit is also a bonus.

Disliked We heard good things about the events and were looking forward to it but missed out on it because of a wedding. It would have been nice to know in advance if the events are not running for such reasons.

Liked The Shepherd's hut is perfectly located at the edge of the site - and actually in an adjacent field next to a stream, so great for seclusion and privacy.
The Cider Barn was brilliant, locals of all ages enjoying the music, food and most importantly, the fantastic real cider, sweet, medium and dry, though a range of other drinks also to be fair.
On the Saturday, the barn was closed (as advertised) but the beautifully quaint West Chinnock village is just a scenic 15-20 minute walk through the fields, via public paths, the Muddled Man pub, not to be missed for its colouful hanging baskets, garden, stonework, ales, really good food...and the not to be forgotten, landlord and son!

Staff really friendly, helpful and accommodating, greeting on arrival, providing extra blankets and allowing us to buy more of their excellent real cider when we left on Sunday morning.

Disliked It was really cold the first night (despite it being August!) but see above.
Composting toilets might not be for everyone - but that's the experience of camping in rural Somerset!

Liked Loved the bell tent, the views of the farm, the open air, the campfire, the music, the being in the middle of fresh countryside and the fact this farm is super dog friendly! I will be booking to stay here again 100%

Disliked The solar shower in the morning was freezing but that is literally the only thing.

Liked It was easy to relax quickly into our camping experience at North Down Farm, our first family camping experience in years. A warm welcome from the owner, the bell tents with blow-up beds and having kitchen facilities on site helped make it an stress-free camping experience whilst feeling ‘at one’ with nature. We enjoyed the home made cider! We will be back! Thank you!
