Liked: Field was peacefull, toilet and shower were clean and had a phone charging point if you didnt mind leaving it.
Disliked: Entrance needed a better sign. Very bumpy steep uneven farmer entrance, i was in T4 a larger van may struggle, very steep drive down to a flat bit of grass, only grass , no electricity , bit pricey just to park on a field but not much in the area

From the manager: Unfair review for a one night stay. You booked a non-electric grass pitch and you knew the cost, how can this be a dislike? We're 10 minutes from the Jurassic coast, you say there's not much in the area, your opinion is different to most people. The only time large vans struggle getting out of the field is if they are bad drivers or the field is really wet.
Good facilities, friendly hosts, nice pitches.

Unpowered grass site
Liked: Loved this site. Well groomed large field with plenty of bench tables to camp next to if required. Lots of space, so no need to be bunched up. Great views of countryside. Standard facilities re toilets/showers. Surprisingly also had a chemical waste disposal. Campfires/barbeques allowed. Fresh water tap available at entrance for filling motorhome, although I didn't bother as only staying two nights as driving about during the day. The farmer is very friendly and accommodating. Always on hand to answer any queries and advise local beaches. Will definetly come here again if visiting the area.
Disliked: There are two fields and currently the Washing up facilities are only in one of them. The farmer mentioned to me that he recognises he will need to add another facility in the field I stayed in, which was the most popular of the two fields. Did not spoil my stay however. Most people seemed more than content.

Liked: Very friendly, took payment by phone at your pitch. Wooden picnic table delivered by pickup to our van- amazing service. Absolutely stunning views and nearby walks. All facilities were basic but kept immaculately clean.
Disliked: Some parts of site are on a slope- easily fixed with 2 wedges we used under one side of our campervan (transit conversion)

Liked: We had a lovely stay at Penn Farm in May 2024. The has a lovely feel to it - the camping ground is situated on a farm, close to Lyme Regis. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. The showers, toilets and washing-up sinks are sizeable and clean. The site could accommodate many more pitches; however, the hosts are sensible and maintain the number of pitches relative to the toilet and shower facilities available, meaning that despite there only being two showers, there is never a queue. There is a very handy charging shed with several plug sockets for you to blow up your camp beds and charge your phone. The site felt very safe and secure and so we left our devices charging for several hours and returned to find them where we left them as we had expected. There is also a fridge and freezer for quests to use - both were very, very clean as if brand new. The views from the lower field are lovely and the site has a rural feel despite being very close to tourist attractions. We would definitely recommend this site and we will return in the future.
Disliked: Nothing - the site gets five stars from us!
