Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Great hosts, atmospheric with the connection to the past. Close to pub, shop and chippy.

Disliked: No dislikes really but please don't move the site, just have a re-shuffle as I understand you don't always want campers on your lawn. You could make more of the Nissen huts and surrounds surely? The ghosts of the past are crucial to the sites charm.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Very accommodating host who went above and beyond in order to make my stay comfortable. The communal area is a real asset on what was a miserably wet stay. This was a nice place to relax out of the rain and also very handy in packing up in the dry. Shower is nice and hot and a basic but practical shower/toilet/sink set up.

Disliked: The road was a little noisy but nothing the hosts have any influence over

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Lovely undercover space with seating, lighting and outlets - good when you only have a small tent - also had wifi which is much appreciated! Short walk into the nearby village for supplies/food.

Disliked: Campsite is near to a main road, which was loud even overnight. The shower and toilet are together, so I imagine would be a problem even if more than a few people were staying at the site - it also didn't smell very clean, probably as it is hard to air out an old horsebox.

From the manager: Thank you for choosing to stay with us at Hillside Farm Camping. We're sorry that the road noise was a problem for you, it's usually much quieter at night. There are two toilet and shower cubicles and we have them both open when there are a lot of guests staying and we've never had a problem with capacity. The toilet/shower is cleaned daily and topped up with liquid when necessary and smell is not usually a problem - if we know about it, we can deal with it immediately.

Loved the landscape- calm and tranquil are two words describing this place…

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Deborah was a very friendly host and kindly gave me recommendations for walking. The walks (I did two over two days) were beautiful and I could walk right from the campsite. The pitch was great with pretty scenery and a picnic bench I could use. The toiler-shower block were good, everything worked well. Awesome stay!

Disliked: Nothing!
