Treyhill Farm

A aimé The campsite is amazing, beautiful views, no cars in the camping area, contained space with quirky activities for my freerange kids to play and explore. Chickens and fresh eggs were popular. The amenities are spot on, love the cupboard of things you've forgotten and can borrow. Having campfires set up and plenty of wood (honesty box) made evenings fun and sugar fueled with marshmallows. Easy access to Bideford and Westward Ho! My Mum lives locally, I've known the area for 40+years and this is a hidden gem. There are stars for WiFi, it's camping, so unplug. But signal is great. Only dislike was leaving, we will be back. 10/10.

A aimé The meadowview bell tent was great. It's really big inside, easy to stand upright in and warm and dry , even in the drizzly rain.
It's in a nice , quiet, tidy little field, and we enjoyed having a fire pit at night thanks, that was great fun. It's not too far from a shopping centre.

N'a pas aimé The showers and toilets could have been a bit cleaner. The cooking facilities are ... well.. pretty bad- No fridge, untidy area and dusty. Appreciated the helpful text before arrival but the young people , perhaps just working on this farm were very reclusive once there! Be friendly and welcoming, it really helps.

Réponse du gestionnaire : hi ros,

thank you for your review.

I am glad you liked the bell tent and the fire bit.
I am sorry that you felt the toilets could have been cleaner, i try to clean them daily when i can but when we have busy periods they can become dirty quite quickly. Regarding the fridge, we do state there is no electric in our bell tents or camping, hence why the price is low, If we were to add electric the price would be a lot higher to cover our electricity charges. However my partner did offer for you to store your fridge items in our fridge if you needed.
I am really sad that you felt we were not friendly... both me and my partner work 40 plus hours in our own jobs as well as running the campsite and we always try to be friendly to our guests despite that.
i appreciate your concerns and how you felt your experience was, but we do work so hard to make the best stay possible for people, and as we are such a small business we would really have appreciated if you came and shared your concerns to us and we would have done our very best to help you.

We are sorry you would not return again, but wish you the very best.

thanks,
alice.

A aimé Quiet and unique site taking one out of the ordinary to the extraordinary with beautiful views. Helpful folk about. Feathered friends to make. Scenic drive into Bideford. Local pub did not disappoint with menu and spaces to sit to suit everyone. Dogs were welcome.

A aimé - Very friendly and helpful host
- Gorgeous house and garden
- Quiet and peaceful atmosphere
- Good facilities with an indoor bathroom
- Supply of things you might forget/run out of
- Lots of animals (peacocks, silly chickens, a cat) that roam the house
- Lovely area with lots of walks and a good beach nearby
- We didn’t stay in the glamping tent but we peeked inside an empty one and it was gorgeous!

N'a pas aimé A little bit spidery inside the bathrooms!
Also your car is not next to your tent which is not a big deal but just keep in mind when packing.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are glad you had such a lovely stay with us and enjoyed yourselves,

Yes our toilets do get spidery quite quickly, which i do try to keep on top of as much as possible. But i will definitely try to clear them as much as possible for the foreseeable.

We are so glad you would stay again and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future.

All the best,
Alice.

A aimé Scenic location. Good information provided prior to check in. Reasonable facilities.

N'a pas aimé There was some dogs mess in the camping area that could have been cleared. A fridge or ice pack place could have been nice.

A aimé The owners were very helpful, on call to answer any questions and give advice where needed. The camping field was very pretty and well kept and not at all crowded. The owners told us they only ever allow 5 tents in the field at a time. Really nice pub, the Wesyleigh within 20 minute walk.

A aimé The site itself is lovely, the camping area isn't massive but this is great as it doesn't get too crowded. There is a ladder and rope swing from one of the trees for kids. There's also a pen at the back which has some chickens and peacocks in which our son loved. The dogs that live on site are very sweet and our son had a whale of a time entertaining them! There is a bathroom with a toilet and a lovely hot shower and then a separate toilet on its own. The farm has a wood stock which you can pay £8 for a supply of wood and a fire pit. They also have a microwave, cooking supplies like spare plates, cutlery, gas stoves, tea and coffee just in case you've forgotten anything which was a great touch. The owners are really lovely and definitely spend time trying to maintain the loveliness of the site. There's an extension lead in the bathroom and a plug by the microwave so you can charge phones etc which was really handy. Everywhere seemed to be within 12 minutes - whether this is the beach, pub or a supermarket (Aldi, Lidl, Sainsbury's and Tesco all nearby). The washing up area has hot water and cold drinking water with tea towels, washing up liquid and brushes already provided. There is a bin here along with plastic, glass and can recycling.

N'a pas aimé There is a porta shower which never seemed to get hot unfortunately even after waiting for it, but I used this because I couldn't be bothered to wait for the other shower. The pitch up filter showed that there is ice pack freezing but this isn't the case. The last point is a weird one, the farm is very remote and tucked away which is great, but the roads accessing the farm can be a little scary as they are single lane and we encountered a couple of vehicles coming the other way so had to reverse back to a point and allow them through. It wouldn't put us off returning but something worth mentioning.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Hi hannah,

thank you very much for your lovely review. It was great having you all here :)

Regarding the shower i do apolgies for this, we will get that looked into. There are signs to state it takes some time to heat up but if it wasn't heating at all we will sort this out for future bookings. Im not sure why there is a filter for ice pack freezing. However if you needed this, we would have been happy to put those in our freezers for you. We are always around to help. Yes we are in the country and most access is narrow roads, we are glad this has not put you off returning.

Thank you again and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future.

Best wishes,
alice and the team.

A aimé Treyhill farm, we really enjoyed our stay. Alice who manages it was lovely on arrival. Showed us around the campsite and facilities. Explained there was a honesty box if weather permitting for kindling and logs (unfortunately mother nature had other ideas) the showers were cleaned regularly always smelt clean as well, providing a bath mat, hairdryer and plenty of toilet roll which was really good. The washing up area was nice and clean. I liked the fact that it had back up stuff like plates cutlery as we all forgot things at times. It was lovely being able to help ourselves to fresh laid eggs every morning. Alice has a couple of dogs on site which really isn't a problem they just added to how nice everything was.
