Westland Farm

A aimé The scenery is nice

N'a pas aimé The owner decided to now the grass in the evening when all his guests were at the site.
The neighbours were driving around in their cars (multiple) on the site.
Its near a road.
There's barely any piece level.

Réponse du gestionnaire : I'm so sorry it seems you did not have a very nice one night stay with us, your experience seems to be very different to all our other guests.
Just to be clear;
We very clearly state that we are a working farm, part of that involved making hay for winter sheep and cattle feed, mowing the grass is part of the process of haymaking. We only mow each field once a year, when the weather is right for making hay, we do not do this near the camping field during unsociable hours, and are not constantly mowing, far from it. Most of our guests enjoy watching the process if they are lucky enough to be here at the time, and sometimes get involved.
As for your other comments, we do allow guest to drive to their pitches and keep their cars next to their pitch, however all our guests are very conscientious and do not drive around mindlessly, we have a lot of children on site and so joy riding around the site is not allowed.
We have two camping fields, one of which is on a slope, but had level spots available, being on a slope allows beautiful views down to Wistlandpound Reservoir and the surrounding farmland. The other field is level, but as a result of this the views are not so good. There is plenty of room and guests are able to make their own choice.
We are near a road, which makes easy access, but the camping field is a good distance away. If you were unhappy with your stay, had you approached us and let us know, we would have tried to make things right for you. It's sad when guest are unhappy with their stay but do not let us know.

A aimé Stayed for one night, very warm and friendly welcome. Facilities superb, lovely shower and toilet block along with washing up area and fresh water around the camping field.

Laundry looked excellent for those staying a little longer. Perfect base for north Devon.

A peaceful relaxing place and wouldn’t hesitate to book again when I am next in the area.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your lovely review mark, we are glad you had an enjoyable and peaceful stay. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

A aimé The whole site. Lovely views, peace and quiet. It was great to be on a working farm, my 5 year old loved the animals. Nicky the host was super, she showed us around and made us feel very welcome. Absolutely loved the shower block, spacious family showers, great attention to detail, which are ideal when you have young kids. Heated towel rails in the morning certainly took the chill off. Eggs straight from the hens. Spacious fridge and freezer, good washing up facilities and everything was very clean and comfortable. We were so happy.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your lovely review Sarah. It's great to hear you all enjoyed yourselves and the children enjoyed seeing the animals. Thanks for your shoutout to our toilet block! We hope to see you all again sometime in the future for more farming fun!

A aimé Such a lovely warm and friendly welcome! Lovely and peaceful setting. My 2 children (12 & 7) loved the space to run around and seeing the animals. Wonderful toilet/shower block. Only stayed 1 night but will definitely go back again when we are next that way!

N'a pas aimé Hard to find a flat pitch

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for taking the time to leave us a lovely review Ciaran :)

A aimé Views to die for! This site is simple but with convenient amenities - large fridge & freezer, washing points overlooking the pigs, charging points, washer & dryer, clean & well maintained toilets & showers (we never had to queue even in high season).

It’s worth noting there is a slope on the field, some may see this as a downside however we really liked it, as where it’s flat to pitch, it means you get undisturbed views of the beautiful fields. Plus lots of room for the kids to play.

My eldest loved tending to the pigs and chickens every day. Location wise everything you could need or want to visit is only a short drive away. We will be back next year!

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It's lovely in the summer when you can look out at the pigs whilst washing up. It's great to hear you had a nice time and the children enjoyed helping out in the mornings. We look forward to seeing you all again next year.

A aimé Nice, clean toilets and showers. Plenty of water points around site. Welcoming and friendly hosts. You can help yourself to lovely free-range eggs (I had a double yolker!) and feed the farm pigs. Plenty of space to setup and for kids to run around. Only thing to bear in mind is that you might not get a space that's levelled as the field is on a slight slope. Overall a great site and will definitely be coming back.

A aimé friendly no-nonsense site with individual rooms containing toilet and shower in the amenities block.. a clever idea that negated having to build separate blocks

N'a pas aimé Not having anything to dry my hands on when using the facilities (no hand towels or hand dryer)
I had to resort to using a dog, not sure who's it was but it seemed amenable

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review chris. We appreciate your feedback on the hand towels, we are sorry that these were not available to you during your stay. We are always looking for ways to improve the camping experience for our guests.
The hand towels got taken away during covid, but we have now bought some new ones to go back in the toilet block. We hope you had a nice relaxing time and hopefully see you again sometime in the future :)
