Liked: Where to start? A warm welcome from our host Mark, who was so helpful right throughout our stay. Mark made our visit so inclusive and gave us a camping trip that we will not forget. We fed and helped care for the animals making it a special interactive experience for the children. They couldn’t wait to help out! We’ll always remember Tizmo the cat, Benji the bunny, the ducks, AJ,Gwenny and all the goats and sheep. The amenities were spotless and the field was safe for the children to explore and play in. The site is small and peaceful, hidden away in a quaint little village. A perfect place to get away from the busyness of life and my husband and I were able to relax. This trip was short and sweet to test out our new tent but we have come away very eager to return as soon as possible. The children were very sad to be leaving (so were the grown-ups). It has become our families new favourite campsite - Mark see you soon!
Disliked: Absolutely nothing.

Liked: Highly recommended!! Especially for families with smaller children as it is a very safe and quiet site with 2 good sized shower rooms, large walk in showers with great hot water and separate basins.The whole site is on a gentle slope and ringed by electric hook up points and several water taps. Although we didn’t use it there are also great kitchen facilities with a microwave etc and washing up area. We also recommend the local pub The Crown which also has a good menu. The hosts were really attentive on arrival and on hand during our stay if we needed them.
Disliked: Although we were fine with the compositing toilets and have used these at several other sites our teenage son refused to use them and I could imagine that younger children would find them as bit daunting without help. Environmentally though they are a great idea and worth persevering with if you haven’t used them before. Note that the site description does state that it is not suitable for motorhomes. We have a 6Meter Fiat Ducato based campervan which was a fairly tight fit through the entrance so I would not recommend the site if you have anything bigger.

From the manager: Hi Guys.....thank you for your lovely review and glad you enjoyed your stay. The composting loos are quirky, I'm sorry your son didn't take to them. .😕 Your right though...they are environmentally friendly and don't use any water .. Hope to see you again sometime...very best wishes...Mark..😁

Liked: We had a wonderful 4 nights camped at New Farm. Mark was a brilliant host - friendly, communicable, knowledgable. Our two year old loved feeding the animals with 'Mark the farmer' in the mornings! The site itself was clean, peaceful and well-equipped - the listing accurately reflects the facilities available on the site. There were a few nice touches that made our stay there even easier - the kettle & microwave station, the provision of BBQ materials paid for via an honesty box etc. Location was excellent for us - a quiet village with a pub, play area across the road and short drives to various activities, including a number of NT properties (Croft Castle was great for youngsters but Berringtom Hall and Brockhampton Estate also well-worth visiting). Hereford and Ludlow not too far away either. Morrisons being just a 10 minute drive into Leominster was also a bonus. Highly recommended - I'm sure well be back one day! - Andy, Elle and Zach

Liked: The campsite is located in a small field behind a large house in the village. There's space for about 10 pitches, perfect if you want a bit of peace. Our pitch was on a gentle slope which looked like it was mowed just for us. It looks as though areas are not mowed if they are not booked, which is good for the local wildlife. Most of the rest of the field looked pretty flat. If you are pitching with friends let the owners know in advance if you want to be sited next to each other, they seem very accommodating. Once pitched you move your car to the small parking area. We had electric hook-up and nearby was a fire pit and picnic table. On site is a block containing two showers which were very clean and had good hot water. Oddly, whilst in the same small building, the showers are not positioned next to one another. To get from one to another you have to go through a gate and walk right round the entire building, which presents a minor challenge if trying to shower a family with young children and they are sharing shower gels and shampoos. And one didn't have a lock. But not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Another odd thing, for which there may a perfectly good reason we've yet to identify, is the presence of two compost toilets. We say odd, because there are the two suburban-standard showers clearly connected to drains, and the site is behind a row of houses in a residential street. So not totally 'off-grid' Not sure why the toilets weren't added to the shower block and aren't connected to the local sewers! So, avoid anything too spicy before you go to bed. But, an experience we won't forget! There are two under-counter fridges each with a freezer compartment and a tabletop freezer. There's also a micro-waveh, kettle, toaster and what looked like an electric cooking plate. There were also fire-lighters and charcoal which could be purchased on an honesty basis. So, pretty well-equipped for a small site! Nearby is a washing-up area with hot and cold water and a bottle of Ecover. It's a shame this area isn't covered from the elements. Our kids loved feeding and petting the animals. As many others have mentioned, Mark, one of the owners, is very friendly and approachable and clearly patient when dealing with kids feeding his pets! On the whole this is a great little campsite, quiet and a little rustic and a place to escape from most of a fast-moving modern world. There's no wi-fi, which is not a bad thing. There's a pub in the village serving really nice food within staggering distance.
Disliked: The only (slightly) downside were the compost toilets. They could do with a light and taps nearby. Just try not to think of all the people who touched that sawdust scoop before you! And head-torch is advisable. And could also do with turning round or being re-located as currently they are facing the entire site, advertising your entry and exit to all. Whilst they are all part of the 'experience' it's probably the experience we looked forward to least at this site. Uncovered washing area which was not great when raining. Showers layout - not next to one another despite being part of same building (minor gripe) ---- About pitchup.com - minimum photo size 1,800 x 1,350 pixels, but a portrait photo meeting those same dimensions (1350 x 1800) is not acceptable. I re-sized them in a photo app. And adding them in a complete random order, even if you upload one-by-one. And removing captions despite making them mandatory. Grr, come on pitchup, it's not 2005!

From the manager: Hi Tarun...I'm sorry it's taken to that you for your kind review. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and all feed back is welcome. The answer to some of your observations lie in the fact that New Farm Shepherds Huts and Camping has evolved over a period of time. We started with Shepherds Huts for family and friends and added an eco loo. As we evolved we added one shower room and opened for campers too. As a result of our comparative success we added a second loo and shower room. The loos are orientated that way as they are if a quaint design and hopefully look quite nice. There is bacterial hand cleaner in the eco loos ideal for immediate use before using a washroom. It's all a work in progress and we look to evolve each year. Lovely to have met you and hope to see you again some time.
