Flowerdew Farm

Liked The host was very friendly, the location was quiet.

Disliked Smelly as right next door to a cattle farm. Lots of flies. Toilet was minging. Shower head sprayed everywhere except on you. Shower cubicle needed cleaning. Hand washing station was washing up station. Whilst we understand the desire to be eco- friendly this is just squalid. Also wifi did not work.

Liked Lovely staff, sweet environment and our toddler loved the goats!
Fridge and power in cute day room were a lovely touch.

Disliked Toilets definitely need improvement, a choice between a composting loo and some (fairly revolting) builders porta-potties is completely inappropriate for children, and not great for adults either, definitely undermined the enjoyment of the trip.

Also consider a new nozzle for the shower - exactly the wrong angle, un-adjustable and odd diffuse sprinkler nozzle -> made our toddler scream the first time and me jump when it hit us in the eyes!

Liked Really friendly host and lovely flat pitches...lucky us right next to the pygmy goats ❤️ handy to have an indoor seating area, which had fridges and charging points.
Offer experiences with the pygmy goats and alpacas.
Great location for easy access to Abbotsbury and Weymouth via public transport. Pub nearby.

Disliked The toilets, festival-style portaloos did not fair under the amount of users of the weekend.
Only 1 wash up sink so bit awkward if you want to brush your teeth if someone is doing the washing up

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your stay didn’t meet your expectations.

We were disappointed that none of these concerns were brought to our attention during your stay, as we live on site and encourage guests to let us know immediately if there are any issues, so we can try and resolve them. Had we been informed, we would have happily re-cleaned the facilities, which we can guarnatee are throughly cleaned everyday, so you could have stayed elsewhere, investigated the Wi-Fi and done everything we could to resolve the problems. If we couldn’t have met your expectations, and had known at the time, we would also have discussed an appropriate refund or helped you make alternative arrangements to stay elsewhere.

As a small eco farm, our facilities and our environmentally conscious approach are described in our listing so guests know what to expect before booking, and on the confirmation email we share. . Being in the countryside, as a working small holding, next to alsp a working farm means that, at certain times of year and particularly during warm weather/ heatwave, flies and rural farm smells can be part of the environment. While we do everything we can to manage this, it is unfortunately part of staying in a rural location.However we have applied fly spray to our facilities and are regulary checking them.

Our portaloos are also due to be replaced and upgraded, this is all part of a small independent business growing adn one that motiors waste, so that it does not end up in the rivers and sea.

We always welcome constructive feedback and continuously work to improve, but we do wish we’d had the opportunity to address these concerns while you were here.

Liked Lovely setting with picnic tables and the option to sit indoors should the weather require. Good communication and nice welcome when I arrived.

Disliked The toilets smelled a bit...

Liked The Barry bell tent was as described, cosy and the beds were comfortable. The site is peaceful and is an excellent place to stay for exploring the Jurassic coast from. We valued the shared space in the rest rooms providing a sheltered space for eating, reading, games etc. compost toilet was well maintained and absolutely fine to use.
