  • Rural dog-friendly adults-only site in Sherfield English
  • Half an hour's drive from Salisbury and 10 minutes from the New Forest
  • Cosy country pub within a 15-minute stroll
To Hampshire for a holiday in a rather relaxed kid-free spot? Meadow Tree Farm is a nearly-wild site with basic facilities on a working beef farm. Friendly and adults-only, it is spread over 21 acres on the edge of the village of Sherfield English, about 10 minutes' drive from Romsey. There's plenty of space for you (and any doggie companions you may have brought along) to chill out on site and, most importantly, a cosy country pub a gentle 15-minute stroll away. Fishing lakes are next door and there are fab trails for ramblers and cyclists a few miles away in the New Forest National Park. Back at base the laidback vibe is preserved by keeping facilities to a minimum, but the essentials are all in place, including toilets, showers and a washing-up area. Sounds good? You'd better be quick: Meadow Tree Farm is a pop-up site that's only open for a limited amount of time each year.

Electric forest floor tent pitch (woodland)

Liked: Location. Perfect. A peaceful forrest. Basic facilities but that was OK.
The host was a lovely lady who was very helpful and friendly.
Great that it was adults only.

Disliked: The noisy group of younger people. One of the guys had an annoyingly loud laugh, ( at least he was enjoying himself).
To be fair the party stopped at 11 pm. But he was back up by 7am!!!!

Has all the potential, Just needs a fulltime person/cleaner available.

Electric forest floor tent pitch (woodland)

Liked: The personal approach. The owner clearly cares about everyone there and makes the effort to talk to them.

She’s lovely and honestly made us feel so comfortable.

Disliked: Just not enough facilities for everyone there. The one shower just meant you were having to constantly watch when it might be free.

Could do With a bit more info at the check. I felt bad having to phone so much.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch

Liked: Nice location with walks to meadow and local pub (that opens at 5pm). Fire pits are allowed with firewood available on-site. Happy to accommodate a group of 8 with 5 campervans.

Disliked: WC & shower facilities need updating, couldn’t find anywhere to empty grey waste.

Non-electric forest floor tent pitch

Liked: The camping areas were lovely. Really nice wild feel and layout. Space dedicated for larger groups.

We managed to find an available firepit on the second night, which was really great.

Just on the edge of the new forest - perfect for going exploring and less than an hour to the beach.

Disliked: Self acknowledged by owner, the toilets, single shower for whole site, and washing up facility are on their last legs (due to be replaced once planning permission can be secured) but until then a bit ramshackle and could be cleaner.

Work in the adjacent farmyard (machinery, chainsaws) disturbed the peace both evenings, and there seemed to be an industrial fan running all night.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and I'm sorry you were not aware that we are a working farm. machinery is often used to tend to the animals we try to keep it's use as short as possible. The fan you heard is for our environmentally controlled calf unit and is on all the time we have young calves in as far as we are aware this doesn't normally cause a disturbance to our guests this is the first it has been mentioned to us. And a chainsaw was used for under 15,minutes.
The toilets are an issue that we are aware of and and trying to deal with to the best of our abilities. We also make all guests aware of the situation on arrival if not beforehand via email. The floor is often muddy especially when it has been raining. But the sinks, toilets and shower are usually clean. This weekend in particular I was present and on site constantly checking in I am unsure why If you had any issues you did not mention them to myself while you were onsite.

Lovely place and friendly owner

Local attractions

Bring your boots along, for there’s much rural rambling to be done in the New Forest National Park around a 10-minute drive from Meadow Tree Farm. Bike trails run through the forest too, and you can saddle up to see the wildlife from horseback at a riding centre a few minutes’ drive from the site. Other open-air activities nearby include teeing off at one of the golf courses within a 15-minute drive or swinging through the trees at the Go Ape park half an hour away. Sailing lessons and boat trips can be had from Southampton or Lymington, both within a 45-minute drive. For history-infused days out, head to Sailsbury or pay a visit to Romsey Abbey, Breamore House or the vintage car collection at Beaulieu, all of which are within a half an hour’s drive. For animal antics, Marwell Zoo is also about half an hour away.
