Liked: What a wonderful site, so clean and well maintained. There is everything you could possibly need, I feel cheated that we only stayed one night. I booked this site for its reasonable prices, but having used many site before, this was one of the best. The owners take great pride in providing the best from their site/home and we’re very friendly and helpful. Thank you
Disliked: Nothing that the owners can sort but some very bumpy roads nearby, but not a problem really.

Liked: Large flat grass pitches in a fenced area with all the facilities you would need. Showers and toilets were kept extremely clean and tidy. Plenty of hot water for use in the showers and washing up areas.Did not use all the facilities that was on offer, but there is a washing machine and dryer along with washing up sink with dish detergent, tea towels and laundry detergent for use. Owners of the site could not have been more helpful. We did not take dogs with use but the site seemed to be the most amazing dog friendly that we have ever came across including a dog walking track and area. the location of the site is rural, amazing for quiet break.

Liked: Lovely flat, large grass pitches in fenced area. All the facilities you could need, very clean shower & toilet facilities, washing up area with washing machine & dryer available to use. Beautiful, quiet rural position. We did not have dogs with us, but seems very dog friendly with dog walking tracks. Lots of space on the beautifully kept grass for the kids to play. Friendly welcome and great value, would definitely recommend.

Liked: This place is a star find. Only around 10 pitches and in a very rural area. The bonus is that it has a very large dog paddock for you to let you dogs off. It’s very clean and well kept. The facilities are very clean. You’ll need a good torch to get to them in the dark. Very friendly owners, nothing is to much trouble. Will stay again!
Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: Quiet site, large, flat pitches and lovely views across countryside. Hosts are friendly and really helpful. Nice clean toilets and showers. The dog exercise area is wonderful. My dog loved racing round the clearing and bouncing in and out of the long grass. Dog waste bins and bags in various places a thoughtful addition. The site really is something special for those travelling with dogs. You do need to be organised with food and drinks as the site is fairly rural. Lovely sitting watching the sun go down and listening to wildlife.
Disliked: A minor dislike really but showers, although amazingly clean and lots of hot water, they only stay on for short bursts - a longer burst would make a big difference.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review you stay at Hawthorne Farm we appreciate your feedback. We can only apologise that you did not feel the shower burst was not long enough. We will look into whether we can increase the length of the shower burst.
