A aimé The setting is very peaceful, and the facilities are very clean.
I enjoyed chatting with the other guests.
Would love to come back to this place.

N'a pas aimé I came well prepared with a battery pack to charge my phone. It would be a welcome addition to have access to USB charging points. Everything else was great.

A aimé How wonderfully remote it feels. Gumber Farm is beautifully situated for anyone who wants to get away from it all for a few days. Bring the supplies you need and relax. The site has all the essential elements you need for your stay - well stocked kitchen facilities, an excellent shower block and a great fire pit whilst adding nothing to distract from your beautiful surroundings. Jez and Cherry do a great job looking after the place and are always really helpful. Love it here and will come back and back.

A aimé Nothing

N'a pas aimé Didn’t say as there was no way I could carry all my camping equipment from a car park to the site. Totally impossible

Réponse du gestionnaire : Good Evening, it is very clear from our listing in here that there is no vehicle access to the campsite and that the nearest car parks are 1.5mile hike in. As tenants of the National Trust this is a condition of our tenancy that has been in place for the last thirty years I believe. You also should have received a text message to make sure you were aware there’s no vehicle access as some people fail to read it in the listing. As listing….There is no vehicular access to the site whatsoever for visitors and so is only accessible on foot or cycle. Which makes Gumber Bothy the perfect tranquil place to escape to. The nearest you can park is approximately 1.5miles away, either at Bignor Hill car park (SU974129) or Northwood Junction (SU959098) where the tarmac road runs out.
Text that you should have received “You are aware that there’s no vehicle access to the campsite I assume?”
If you had called me or caught either of the wardens on site I’m sure we could have assisted with your kit in some way. Instead you chose not to get in touch and rate a 1/10 review on here. Gumber is predominantly used by those on foot, cycle or horse back and most guests love its remoteness. Should you wish is discuss further please get in touch tomorrow. You have my details. Best wishes the Gumber Team

A aimé Beautiful little site which we had completely to ourselves! The facilities were amazing with a very well equipped kitchen, lounge type area, drying room, BBQ and eating area. Whilst sitting eating our dinner at the latter we saw two creatures running down the hill that we think were badgers!
The walking around the area was great with some stunning views, love that no cars can get to the site.

A aimé I loved it so much, the farm and the location is lovely, kitchen, shower and toilets are clean, I had long walks in the woods while I stayed, I felt like home. The owners are very friendly. Definitely I’ll come back soon.

A aimé Simple, easy. Good place. Great facilities. Friendly people.

N'a pas aimé In a star gazing low light zone, the house put and left an outside light on which gave the background light you want to avoid.
