Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Location close to North Downs Way
Disliked: No sink in toilet, in a separate area other side of house. No shower.. Arrived late due to problems on route but did keep host informed. Unable to contact host when we arrived- he was at pub. When host returned he checked we had arrived but didnt tell us that the sink area would be locked overnight nor did he tell us there was a water tap in field. Anither camper had already shown us where the toilet was. After a full days cycling we had no water for a drink, to make tea or wash with. The sink area was also locked when we got up. Pretty disappointed.

From the manager: Hi there, We're very sorry about this miscommunication - as you can see from the "rave reviews" we've had in the past (10/10), this hasn't happend before. Normally I am there to show you around but unfortunately I had to visit family urgently in Australia. Apologies. Just wanted to point out though that our listing/description does not offer a shower and we make it clear that the amenities are indeed basic ie no sink in the toilet and you need to use the taps and tubs in our farm office area before a certain time. We lock up to ensure security at night. I think we will put signage in the hedge where the water tap is at the camp site as it may not be that obvious at dusk. Thanks for pointing that out. We normally have printed instructions available but as you say, it was an exceptional weekend given the public holiday and our earlier closing times for the farm shop on Sundays. Hope you come back! We'll make sure it is an easier arrival next time :) cheers, Tania Lingham
10/10 - we will very likely be back again next year!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: - It was peaceful and quiet. - It's not a large space so I think at full capacity you might have 8-10 other tents. - Plenty of wild birds around, pheasants, partridges, kestrels etc. - The field was in great condition, with a soft carpet of grass. - Hot running water in the main house which was great for washing up etc. - The farmer was busy but popped by morning and evenings to ensure we had everything we needed. - Great location to walk up onto the North Downs. - Great value butchers shop and bakery on the farm itself.
Disliked: - The farm shop closed early at 1pm (likely because of the Jubilee weekend). - Earwig season - No smaller barbecues on the pitch, which is understandable as there are large fields of crops around so it's a fire hazard, and it would also destroy the camping field.
