Liked: Nothing.
Disliked: I’m sad to say that Lonely Farm has significantly deteriorated. We have been visiting for ten plus years. We stayed 5th April 2024 there were no staff to help with pitch allocation, there was no updated pitch allocation printout. The outbuildings appear to be used to store dirty laundry from Carlton Meres which is left out in view in basket trolleys not a pleasant sight. The large commercial bins are overflowing. There was no hot water as the boiler had broken down The wash rooms are grubby, the floors had not been cleaned. The toilets were the same. The entrance driveway is covered in deep potholes. It’s really sad to see what was a lovely friendly place to visit has been effectively abandoned. We booked two nights but stayed one.

Liked: Good location for getting out and about , would be lovely in the summer.
Disliked: We arrived late evening and had pitch 23 , was really disappointed. Called / texted Warden no answer. Pitch was next to four massive over flowing rubbish bins and a storage location. There was no hot water on site and no one to communicate with. Second day I managed to find a staff member in the storage location and we were told the boiler had been broken for days and we would have to go to the campsite next door to shower. This information was not provided before our arrival which was a shame. The campsite next door we had to drive to as the turning on the path was thick mud and we couldn’t get through. The facilities at lonely farm are very basic but were clean, but lots of leaking taps and blocked sinks. Maybe we arrived too early on this site , the field was swamped and it just didn’t seem ready for customer. Felt this little campsite could be so much more but think it’s the poor relation to Carlton Meres. Would we go back if passing, maybe but we’d check the pitch location was away from the storage facility and bins.

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: Potholes everywhere leading up to the park itself. Pitches where boggy had to be towed of by the tractor when we were leaving A big factor there was no hot water for showers and dish wash area. We were told the day we were going home that we could use the pods to shower in on the adjourning holiday park. When we arrived there was nobody to greet us just a board with our name on and we're to go

Liked: The staff at Carlton mere were very helpful they called re floods. The site was conveniently placed. We met the warden by chance, when getting lost trying to find the adjacent site, he was delightful and helpful.
Disliked: Reception was closed when we arrived, and we called the mobile number to no avail, so called the reception at the neighbouring site (had their number as they’d called due to the floods the day before) The site amenities were as follows. Toilet and shower water was hot - due to lack of ventilation the condensation ran off the Tim roof, and dry clothes got wet. The shower and toilet rooms were poor in run down sheds. They were rustic to say the least and not good value for money. We have stayed on sites with cleaner and more modern facilities for the same or lesser price.

Liked: Just adored this camp site, idyllic setting, was lovely and peaceful, surrounded by frields. The staff were great, very friendly and helpful when we arrived and through out the stay. Facilities were good even having use of a microwave, toaster and kettle. Laundry room available, showers etc all clean. The site was well maintained and looked after and the pitches were well laid out. We had access to a pool and entertainment facilities, finished off with a fantastic price for the pitch with hook up. I would definitely go again and plan to return soon... had a great time .😁
Disliked: Didn't actually dislike anything. Had trouble getting wifi, however when camping l think the aim is to get away and chill.
