Abbey Home Farm

Liked Love this place! So idyllic and so much to explore. We hired ebikes from Cotswold ebikes and Darren gave us a fantastic route to follow, it was the highlight of our trip!
The farm shop and cafe is wonderful and the food is amazing!
I would love try the hut by the pond next time, it looks so dreamy.

Liked Beautiful setting with great amenities. A hot shower in the woodland was a really nice treat and having the farm shop on site to stock up on food for the bbq was amazing. We received a really warm welcome and managed to fit 2 of the suggested walks into our 1 night stay. Hope to be back soon!

Liked Lovely farm shop near by with a big variety. Eco friendly site with compost loos.

Disliked Small thing but I didn’t like having to check in at somewhere not on the camp site .
The camper van area was much smaller than expected and is boxed in with tall hedges so no views. Vans were quite squashed in . In contrast, the tent field looked beautiful and spacious so if visiting with a tent I would recommend.

From the manager: Hi, we were just saying whilst checking the site last night how this weekend all vans parked up the same hedge, leaving the same space again down the other hedge totally empty (bar one van). It was very odd but totally understand why it must have felt squashed. At check in we do tell all guests to park either side. Apologies they all clumped together this time. Best wishes, AHF

Liked Everything was just a i expected basic camping as it should be.
Staff very friendly and helpful shop has nearly everything you need but slightly expensive but as most of it is organic it's what you should expect.
Will definitely return again later on in the year.

Disliked Nothing

Liked The site was nice and quiet with lots of space.

Disliked The only toilets available were compost toilets and the showers weren't very pleasant to use.

Liked Secure and well away from the roadside.
Lovely views from the tent field.
Wheelbarrows provided to transport gear from the car park to your tent.
Toilet facilities were in good condition.
Water supply 👍

Disliked It was a bit confusing what to do when arriving.
There wasn't any signage at the Farm Shop regarding camping.
(FYI, you have to go in and speak to some one in the Farm Shop and they will direct you.)

It is a bit annoying that you have to check-in at the Farm Shop as it closes at 17:00. I was originally planning to arrive at about 20:00/21:00. But had to cut my day short to get there on time.
And luck that I did, as I would never have found the place, or got the gate code otherwise.

Maybe, include the check-in info & gate code in an email instead.

From the manager: Hi Elliot, Thanks for your feedback. We understand it is an unusual system but to make the it work and fit in with the rest of farm life we do have these set check in times. For security and privacy we do keep the campsite location private and like to check in someone from each booking in person. Great to see you'd come back though. Best wishes, AHF

Liked Excellent check in and communication.
Felt really safe and peaceful site.
Wonderful organic farm shop !

Disliked Location on Google maps took me to a layby 😆so maybe that needs a look at?

Liked Fantastic camp site, beautiful views. Nice and quiet, everything there you need. Farm shop was lovely filled with the farm's products. Didn't use the cafe, as we like to cook on our pitch. Very welcoming staff.😁 Great that that there were no cars on the pitch we picked.... wheelbarrows were provided. Showers lovely and hot.

Disliked The compost loos.... but we knew that before we went.

Liked Lovely quiet site. Off grid but had compost toilets (didn't use) as had our own and a couple of showers. Washing up sinks. Great walk around the farm trail. Lovely family.

Disliked One of the showers was unbearably hot but the other was fine.

Liked What a wonderful place, a woodland trail, a field with no boundaries to where you pitched and no vehicles on the field too. Was very nice to be able to park the Motorbike in the open Barn so if we did have some rain it was sheltered. Surprised some other people didn't quite get the concept of Greenfield campsites as heard a couple of people asking where to put the rubbish!
I woke to the sound of the Skylark before dawn of the morning of the Summer Solstice and what a sunrise I got to see. I was joined by a Hare in the field and the birds singing their morning chorus. An amazing space to chill out, relax and just rest.

Disliked It's a bit stoney and hard on the ground so you will need to pack a hammer/ mallet to put your tent pegs in with. Not a negative but something that you should be aware of.
Just an idea that maybe some solar powered lights in the toilets might help.
