Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked: De setting. De schone toiletten. Vriendelijke welkom.
Disliked: De beperkte wandelmogelijkheden aan de hand van zelf gemaakte fotoos vanaf een kaart in de pub. De alsmaar aan/uit gaan van de toilet verlichting. Het niet vermelden dat de pub ook op dinsdag niet open is.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked: A lovely campsite surrounded by green countryside. Perfect for families with young children. There was a very relaxed vibe there with many people chatting around fires in the evening. Having a pub onsite is a definite bonus! Will definitely be visiting again.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked: We love this campsite for its beautiful scenic location, amazing pub, beer garden and playground which is perfect for our 3 year old. The campsite is a great size and the layout works perfectly for children with pitches around the outside and then a large grass area in the middle. It is also very dog friendly. The miniature goats are adorable (if insatiable when it comes to food!) and the soft play double decker bus is a definite winner for the kids. Both times we have stayed we have been lucky enough to also have live music in the beer garden which gave it a real mini festival vibe. At night you will spot bats and hear owls hooting away in the valley. During the day pheasants squawk in the field behind the campsite and moos from the cows drift across the site.
Disliked: Nothing

Birdie shepherd's hut (two person)
Liked: Amazing stay in Birdie Shepherd Hut. Comfy clean furnishings. Hot, high pressure shower. Plenty of heat pumped out from bathroom radiator and log burner warmed up the hut in no time at all. Well insulated hut which stayed warm all night - much needed in rainy October! Welcome pack of Prosecco, bread, butter, local honey & delicious homemade biscuits was very well received. Very thoughtful touches throughout. Food at Gaggle of Geese was delicious and generous portion sizes. Recommend visiting Cerne Abbas Giant, Abbey, Church & Wishing Well all worth visiting. Great food at New Inn pub in Cerne Abbas. Dorchester also worth a trip and the Thomas Hardy historical points. Monkey World was good to see Urangutans & Gorillas but the park was badly signposted and a few species including the Lemurs and Slow Loris were not available when we visited.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked: Great quiet little site. Good food at the pub, very friendly.
Disliked: A very minor thing, but you could turn the PIR sensors on the toilet/shower lights to allow a bit more time before they turn off... It would save a lot of waving about in the dark when having a shower :)

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite
Liked: This was a lovely campsite - beautiful grounds and facilities. Options for glamping of various forms. Run by the pub owners who were really friendly. Lots of interesting things to do - pitch & putt, kids play area in an old bus, goats, ice cream parlour, pizza, pub food and of course, good beer & cider. Free WiFi in the pub. A really relaxing and peaceful spot - will definitely return.
Disliked: Needs toilet brushes but that’s a very minor issue

Liked: Pitch where you like. We stayed out of high season so the site was exceptionally quiet, the one shower available and toilets were clean. Good base for exploring surrounding area, fab walks direct from the site.
Disliked: An elsan point would have been a bonus. Shame the pub wasn't open on the 2 out of 3 days we stayed.
