A aimé Relaxed and natural campsite. No frills, short walk to the pub. Owner is really nice. Farm shop a nice bonus. Toilets were basic but clean.
We live very locally and came for a night away. Loved the peace and quiet and hearing the deer.

Réponse du gestionnaire : So glad to hear that we fitted the bill as your local campsite.

Come anytime!

A aimé Site with basic but clean facilities.

Enjoyed:
Nice quiet field
Big trees for shade
A swing hung from a tree
Wild blackberries
Plenty of space
Able to choose own pitch
Our friends were allowed to visit us on the site
Watching large construction vehicles moving gravel next to the site (this stopped in the evening and didn't disturb our sleep)

To be aware of:
Rubbish must be taken home
No specificied area for disposal of grey water


The site is priced according to the facilities. We had a lovely stay at Ellis Hill Farm Campsite and would happily return in future.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your detailed review. It’s very helpful.

Some guests do find the lorries a bit disruptive, but most people don’t seem troubled by them. Thank you for flagging up a potential issue though.

We’re working on a grey water solution at the moment particularly in the light of the extreme weather we are experiencing. We hope to improve this soon.

We do have rubbish bins at the farm gate, but it helps us enormously if guests can take their rubbish home with them.

On the plus side, you gave us a ten out of ten, so we must be doing something right!

See you again soon.

A aimé As described, owner very pleasant. Plenty of pitch space, facilities basic but clean, toilets and running water available. Nice walks surrounding the campsite. Short walk along farm lane to nice pub ( The bull) which was absolutely ideal

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for leaving us a nice review.

The walks here are lovely.

The pub gets good reviews too, so we’re happy to know that it didn’t disappoint.

We look forward to welcoming you again.

A aimé Polite and helpful staff and a lovely site, me and my son really enjoyed our stay :)

Réponse du gestionnaire : So glad that you and your son enjoyed your stay.

Please come back soon.

A aimé Can't fault it for large meaning lots of space size, no nonsense farm campsite with shop, toilet block, flat pitches. Serene calm field with tree shelter.

N'a pas aimé Had to be careful if bbq rules but makes sense

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your kind and constructive review.

Our rules regarding barbecues and fires are very strict at the moment and we thank you for flagging them up. We have had no rain for almost two months now and the camping field is bounded by ancient woodland which we are working hard to protect.

Please come and see us again soon.

A aimé Absolutely amazing long weekend away at Ellis Hill Farm! Our 1st visit here and we’d 100% return. We loved the location, it felt rural with plenty of wildlife to see and hear but it was still close enough to local shops and pubs (driving or walking!). The little farm shop on site is an added bonus too! Well stocked with different soft drinks, snacks and ice lollies (which the kids were chuffed with!). The owners are lovely, went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and enjoying ourselves. Special mention to Digger and his little patrols, the kids loved saying hello to him. Facilities are basic but we knew this already when we booked so we were more than happy with this. Plenty of walking trails nearby to explore too! The woodland walks are beautiful. All in all, a lovely campsite and we’ll definitely be booking again. Thank you :)

Réponse du gestionnaire : You are definitely our kind of visitor! Thank you so much for your lovely words.

What can we say? We agree with you!

See you very soon, we hope.

A aimé Well mown large grass field, nice and level, didn’t need chocs. Tucked away down long bumpy lane and quiet and peaceful with no road noise and woods around.
I had to arrive a bit late as was visiting my mother in hospital (I’d booked last minute) and when I phoned to ask if this was ok the owner was very kind and accommodating offering help if I needed and said I could pay in the shop in the morning. Felt very welcome and reassured after a stressful day! Very peaceful night. Lots of space and lovely dark skies. Basic facilities, but nice to have a loo to use. Felt very safe there too as a woman travelling alone just sorry to have missed a cooked breakfast in the shop in the morning which smelled great!

N'a pas aimé Be aware there were lorries tipping hardcore in the yard above the site till quite late the eve I was there and the occasional aircraft overhead but still felt calm and peaceful and I’d definitely go back again, was not disturbed by any of this.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your kind and informative comments. We’re very glad we were able to help you through a difficult time.

We do have lorry movements in the evenings sometimes. It’s often emergency road work, so is hard to estimate when this may be. We’re sorry if this does cause any disturbance, but it is sporadic and usually short-lived.

We have opened up another field which is further away from the farmyard, so is a good option if you need a bit more peace.

Do please visit us again soon.

A aimé 2nd time back and brought friends. Still one of my fav sites. Very basic, lovely owner and has beautiful pushchair friendly walks. Lockey farm down the road is great for kids too

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for leaving a great review.

We love to hear from returning guests. It makes it all worthwhile when you choose us again for your summer camping break.

See you again soon, we hope.

A aimé The welcoming greeting, relaxed feel and time to slow down. The pub was a short walk and had pizzas! Audrey and Keith are wonderful, no showers but enough water and toilets to not notice! There is a lot of space and the site has a cafe which is so convenient. There are lots of walking paths and forest to explore and also a lot of space generally. The number of animals we saw was amazing, including two peregrine falcons which circled above us briefly! We have already talked about planning our next trip!

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for leaving us such a lovely review.

The pizza in the pub is pretty good, and an easy option while the weather is too dry for barbecues.

The wildlife here is really something. Binoculars are a good idea!

We look forward to welcoming you back soon.
