Turley Holes Farm

A aimé Nothing

N'a pas aimé In May I booked and paid for a four night stay in July. The day before I was due to go I contacted the owner to see if they were still allowing fire pits considering the dry weather, and received an email saying I should have received an email and refund because the campsite had closed. I had received nothing at all so would've turned up there with nowhere to stay. I did get a refund after contacting Pitchup, but if this place does reopen I would recommend staying well clear

A aimé I liked the idea of nearly Wildcamping. But received a message to say the site was closed.
I have had several texts but no response to my replys !

N'a pas aimé I have no idea what's going on with the site. Looking on Pitch up I see a review by another user for the same time that I would have been there. I've had several messages to say the site was close. I even offered to help..
I don't know if payment is returned. I don't know if a member of staff has somehow tried to sabotage the camp.

All a bit strange. Pitchup does show site as unavailable, so I don't think it's their fault.

A aimé Lovely and peaceful with an excellent view

N'a pas aimé No toilets but they are very open about this beforehand so it wasn't a suprise. Lovely little site if you want some peace and quiet.

A aimé Brilliant place kids absolutely loved it! Nice little walk and animals to see

N'a pas aimé The toilet haha but I suppose that’s all part of the fun with camping

A aimé Lovely little relaxed site we arrived to a warm welcome and given details of how we could order wood and breakfast in the morning! The wood came quicker than an uber delivery and the breakfast bang on 8.30 😊

The site is basic there is a compost toilet that did have toilet paper but if you have your own camping toilet take it along! ( on speaking to the lovely lady who owned the site she is looking to solve the toilet situation ) during the day the sheep and donkeys roamed round the field which the kids loved and the bird song is amazing then in the evening the bats and the owls calling out is brilliant.

The site is a short walk of a bit hilly to the shop and pub (I did manage to make it there and back with some breather stops 😂) the pub does delicious food with lots of choice and a kids menu. You also get 15% off if you tell them you on the site.

It was a perfect little get away with a feeling of being remote and still safe. Amazing value for your money

N'a pas aimé The only small issue was the toilets but that is being resolved and we had a camping one so we coped

There is a table at the entrance with games, toys and snacks for the kids. I didn’t like that there wasn’t a honesty box there as we felt like we were nicking them 😂😂😂 ( please put an honesty box in sure people would use it xx)

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank u so so much it was just amazing meeting you all and I’m charging you top dollar for the tuck box next time then 😝

A aimé Mel was really lovely and welcoming. The campsite was perfect for my son and his mates to have the freedom to play football and explore the area, whilst the adults sat and took in the scenery. It’s a 10 min walk to a lovely pub too.

There was a communal campfire for everyone to sit around at night and toast marshmallows. Then Mel delivered our breakfast the next morning. We came prepared so the lack of running water didn’t worry us. The campsite was cheap and cheerful, exactly what we were looking for!

N'a pas aimé There were a lot of midges at night, so bring repellent or stay near the campfire.
The campsite toilet is basic, but it has everything you need.

A aimé The host was excellent and this meant the atmosphere on site was really lovely and communal. Games for the children were available and a big campfire in the middle where you could gather in the evening. A very relaxed site, meaning dogs can be off lead if friendly which was great for us. Loved that the children could all play together and because the site is fairly small they can be seen at all times. It's a bit more of a wild camping set up which we are used too so it worked great for us, just pitch up where you like and spend some time in the wild with like-minded people. The pub nearby was excellent. We came with our 1 year old so only booked the 1 night to see how she got on in a tent and she loved it. Location was great and views were lovely.

N'a pas aimé If your looking for a site with all the facilities this might not be the camp site for you, no showers and the toilet facilities were basic, but this is made clear at the point of booking. But if your looking for more of a relaxed site with a wild camping feel, I'd definitely recommend 👍

A aimé Lovely walks directly from the site on to the moors. Gorgeous sunset view from the site. Really friendly owner.

N'a pas aimé Only one tiny porta-potty for over 20 people. This is not the facilities advertised, which was a compost toilet - this would not have filled up so frequently and would have been higher from the ground, so much easier and more pleasant to use. Handwash facilities had no soap or hand sanitiser.
Ground was extremely lumpy, impossible to find anywhere reasonably level.
Sheep were in the field, a tic risk. Field also full of nettles, thistles, sheep poo and some rubbish.
When we booked there were no reviews as it was a new pop-up site.
Had I known it was going to be wild camping, but in close proximity to other campers, I wouldn't have chosen the site.
