What customers say
This peaceful, clean campsite boasts beautiful surroundings and stunning views. Visitors loved the excellent, clean facilities, friendly staff, and farm walks. Some found gear transport tricky due to the no-car-on-pitch rule; horseflies were a minor issue.

From the manager: Hi David, thank you for your review, the photos look great. Sorry you weren't a fan of the compost toilets, but appreciate it isn't everyone's preference! :) Thanks WHF x
A must visit campsite for spectacular views and excellent facilities.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked I liked the beautiful scenery, cleanliness of the whole site, mowed grass and excellent facilities.
The compost toilets were exceptionally clean and not at all smelly in the hot weather. The showers were also clean. There were also plenty of wood shavings and bottled water. We didn't want for anything during our visit.
We also enjoyed watching the swifts flying low over the field.
Disliked This is not a complaint, it's nature at its best I suppose. A wasp nest was forming within the horsebox that you washed up in. When contacting Molly to let her know, she answered promptly and was informative. I cannot fault anything about this campsite.

From the manager: Thank you for your very kind review! We had the wasps nest removed as soon as we could however we had a job finding someone who could come quickly and move the nest as we did not want to destroy it. Rest assured our wasps have now been relocated and hopefully won't return to the rather inconvenient location they were in, thank you for your understanding :) x

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked We had a wonderful first-time camping experience at Whinney Hill Farm. The whole place is peaceful, with lovely farm walks and beautiful horses all around. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature.
What made our stay truly special was the hospitality. Julian (sorry if I’ve misspelled the name) was incredibly kind and helpful. As first-time campers, we weren’t sure about a lot of things, but she guided us so patiently and made us feel completely at home. Her support meant a lot to us and made the whole experience smooth and memorable.
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a calm, nature-filled getaway and amazing hosts!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Large space to choose pitch up position from. The wheelbarrows to help bring your stuff to the campsite was a really sweet touch. Short drive to shops and pubs if needed.
We had a lovely tour of the stables before we checked out which made the stay really special. Thank you! We will be back.
