  • Traditional working farm with cider production and microbrewery
  • Friendly, relaxed atmosphere and views of the Jurassic Coast
  • Italian restaurant; tickets are extra for summer events and festivals
Fancy the sound of a Dorset farm with its own cider production and cosy restaurant – plus summer events (which you need to buy separate tickets for)? With views of the fably viewsome Jurassic Coast and Bride Valley, adults-only Bredy Farm is also close to beaches, the South West Coast Path, Bridport and Dorchester. You might fancy a pint or two of that, cheers. All these happenings are on a relaxed and friendly working farm with its own microbrewery and cider shed open to the public. It's set up for simple camping, for excellent cider and for parties, at its occasional weekend-long music events (extra charge). Guests pitch up in The Orchard or The Mead on either side of the river Bride. Facilities include running water, a basic cold-water area to wash pots and pans, three portable toilets, four composting toilets, three rustic shower units on The Mead (free to use) as well as two flushing toilets and two modern, high-quality coin-operated showers (located on the main farm). Certainly not basic are the offerings at the farm's Italian restaurant/café, which serves up plates of tasty homemade food, including proper Neapolitan-style pizzas (it's rightly popular so it's best to book ahead, especially if you're travelling in a group). In the summer months, this is a site that's buzzing with energy, with live music, DJs and a bar that's open until 2am. This means that the site is noisier and busier on weekends. Out of season and midweek, things are generally more chilled around here.

Orchard unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site (adults only)

Liked: Campsite was ok to look at!

Disliked: They said it was dog friendly , but to play extremely loud music for 8hrs at night was very alarming for dogs and any animals including cows and sheep in the vicinity. I was very concerned, upset and surprised as it was a farm! Not dog or animal friendly at all. I left after the first night of three I had booked…

Orchard unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site (adults only)

Liked: The landscape is beautiful. This could be a really great campsite, if it weren't for pretty much everything else. To be clear, we didn't visit the restaurant, so my review doesn't include that.

Disliked: The facilities are very basic, which would be ok if the price were substantially lower, but this is an expensive site. You have to walk through a swamp to reach the showers in sheds. The portaloos are festival standard, no water, claustrophobic and unclean. There is nowhere to have a sink wash to avoid the shower swamp and there is no hot water to wash dishes. The site is described as 'lively' but this hugely underplays the fact that this is a nightclub! I have been at lively sites and this is far beyond that. There is a DJ playing until 2pm, as this happens in an open sided barn, the noise is extremely loud and you cannot escape it anywhere on the site. There is a sign which suggests that the campsite is quiet after midnight. This is not adhered to at all (and the fact you can still hear the DJ sets a precedent that they don't care if you sleep), so other selfish campers played music until 5am. Do not expect to get any sleep, our weekend away was really spoilt.

Somewhere to stay if you don't mind a late night.

Liked: Orchard area was very pretty Pizza from Italian restaurant was great

Disliked: Loud music in the venue on the farm went on until after 2 am in the morning. I don't know why this wasn't clear when we booked because we were really looking for a quiet weekend away. Dirty port-a-loos. Loud groups up drinking etc.

Liked: We had a fantastic time on our camping holiday! The grounds are absolutely beautiful, and you really feel like you’re surrounded by nature. The atmosphere is rustic, but the location is superb, and the amenities like the bar, showers, and pools were wonderful. One of the highlights was the amazing DJ on our first night. We danced the night away and had so much fun! The next night, we were able to enjoy a quieter, more romantic evening, as our spot was far enough from the barn to enjoy some peaceful alone time. The staff were very relaxed and friendly, making our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, we had the best time and can’t wait to come back!

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: The orchid had a lovely atmosphere, even when it got busy there was lots of space! The River flowing between the two campsites was beautiful, there were loads of animals to go see. Having the pool bar with live music allowed us to have a more lively night but still retreat back to a warm campfire. The italian restaurant on site was beautiful, the food was amazing, a lovely little treat when camping. The farm shop down the road was aswell full of goodies!

Disliked: the washing up space was minimal.

Local attractions

If you're here for an events weekend, stick around for a bit afterwards to investigate the area: take it as read that your boss will applaud your initiative. Start off by going seawards: the nearest beach and the local stretch of Jurassic Coast are about a mile away in front of Bredy Farm's local village of Burton Bradstock, leading to the famed Chesil Beach. (The award-winning Hive café dishes up seafood in Burton Bradstock too.) If it's Jurassic Coast fossils you're after, the nearby Dinosaurland Fossil Museum in Lyme Regis has piles of specimens in its collection of local Jurassic marine fossils, so meander along here to see what you can sea. More fossily remains are in the Jurassic Coast gallery at nearby Bridport Museum. Piles of other things are around Bredy Farm to see and do, such as the village of Abbotsbury and its swannery, full-size construction machinery driving at Diggerland Devon, seaside towns like Charmouth and Weymouth, and exploring old buildings like Hardy's Cottage. If you're around to shop, local town Bridport has a vintage market on the last Sunday of every month. You might also like to try more of the fizzy stuff if you're around Bredy Farm for a cider weekend, so totter off to a couple of the boozy attractions in the area, such as the tastings and tours of Bridport's Palmer Brewery, founded in 1794, and sampling the sparkling and still wines of Furleigh Estate Wines, producing Dorset wine from its base at Salway Ash.
