The Old Dairy Farm Caravan and Camping

A aimé Large space to pitch tent, clean facilities and the goats were a cute addition ! Obviously it was quiet as it is still quite cold, but the addition of the bar and shop etc in summer looks good! Could have a campfire which was needed to stay warm.

N'a pas aimé More than once there was no toilet paper in some of the ladies toilets.

A aimé Easy access to and from the main road. Main field was clean. Welcome text with shop info etc was helpful. Liked the rustic feel of the out buildings. Goats were cute and looked very well looked after. Shop on site is handy. Heard the geese once over night and never heard the cockerel - so no issues there. Did hear the trains but not much after dark. Would have liked to have tried the pizzas but think we were a bit out of season for it.

N'a pas aimé Tap water was cold in the female toilets and hand drier did not work. Showers took a bit of tweaking to get temp right. A mop and bucket could do with being available for people to use to clean up after showering as someone had been in with their dog and left muddy prints everywhere (up to the dog owner to sort not the staff though).

A aimé Relaxing, large pitch, such a wonderful place to stay. Loved the goat's. Yet not for us personally. Difficult to find an navigate with our 6 meter motorhome.

N'a pas aimé No local shop apparently it's been closed for over a year.

A aimé A large site with gravel areas for parking campervan. Toilets were clean but I can’t comment on showers as I didn’t use them. Little paddock with goats and 2 large bird aviaries (covered during my stay for winter). It wasn’t busy when I visited but I would imagine it gets busier during warmer months. The canal towpath is a few minutes walk from the site and I enjoyed a few nice walks. The manager/ owner answered my calls and communicated well.

A aimé The goats and the local pubs. Summer with bar open and bands on may be good.

N'a pas aimé The dirty dated toilets, water logged fields, the thought of bringing our heavy caravan onto one of the tourer pitches in the condition they were in. Didn't dare use the shower. Cockeral woke us at 4.20 am and if he stayed quiet there was always the geese in the field to take off and let you know it, or the woodpecker hammering the trees in the neighbouring field. Overall will not return as only checking out sites for caravaning this year.

Réponse du gestionnaire : We prefer the description of quirky for our toilets. However dirty - they certainly weren't - as other reviews state for the same dates as your stay.

As for complaint about animals in the countryside, whilst staying at a campsite with the name farm, not too sure how to respond to that?

A aimé Spacious pitches and quiet

N'a pas aimé Showers either scolding hot or ice cold, shop on site was not open for our entire stay and field got very muddy

Réponse du gestionnaire : The showers are electric. Rather than turning to extreme temps, slowly adjust the temperature.

Shop was open on request, as stated in your arrival text. Just not viable to staff for a small number of guests.

And yes grass plus rain plus driving does create mud, however I only sold hardstanding pitches so no reason for those who did go against instructions to drive on the grass.

A aimé Good location

N'a pas aimé Train track right next to the site along with a Cockerel that starting well before dawn.
Site not fully open in March, so no shop, bar or cafe which was fine.
Toilets and showers are a little out dated and not regularly cleaned. No bench/stool or hooks for your clothes.

Réponse du gestionnaire : We are in the countryside and the train line should not be a surprise if you read our site description, most have no issue from this. As for facilities, they are cleaned regularly, obviously less when only a few on site otherwise we'd be running at a loss to pay for unnecessary cleaning.

A aimé Lovely site, easy to find & get parked (could do with more numbers on pitches but map was handy).Loved watching the goats.
Was not busy at all so shop etc all closed up. Lovely village to walkaround & cafe.

A aimé Lovely site . Easy check in. Gravel pitch was very much appreciated as it’s been so wet. Quiet.
Toilet block warm and clean despite the mud everywhere. Plots are spacious. WiFi was an additional bonus for teenagers.
