Throop Hollow Farm

A aimé : The owners of this farm are such lovely people and it shows in the way they are with those staying at the farm.
The bank holiday entertainment was excellent and so was the children’s entertainer on the Sunday. Food and drink on site were at very reasonable prices as is the firewood for the fire pits.

N'a pas aimé: Only a very very minor thing but wish the showers were a little larger and had hooks on the walls for your clothes.

A aimé : 6 of us went as part of a small group (2 males, 4 females)
Not much not to like really. You could pitch where you want which was handy in a group.
Had a beautiful view from the top of the site, toilets and showers were clean, staff fantastic. Entertainment was great.

N'a pas aimé: Very little

A aimé : The family run farm is a working farm with this event happening once a year. I love how the whole family gets involved- even partying with the guests. Loved the bands, the bar, tractor rides and hay bale fun for the kids. The fire pits and daily log deliveries were fabulous. The logs smelt so amazing! It worked for everyone!

N'a pas aimé: Could have had a few more loos and the showers were basic.

A aimé : We loved our second stay at Throop Hollow Farm!! Great site in a lovely location…overlooking the rolling hills!! Owner is very friendly. Entertainment/live bands at the weekend, on-site bar, toilets and showers. Campfires and wood available. Highlight for the kids included the farm animals, hay bales and tunnel as well as the daily tractor rides. Will definitely be returning:-)

N'a pas aimé: Could maybe do with a few more ladies toilets.

A aimé : Loved the big open space, the hay bale playground was a hit with the kids. Covered communal area and bar were great. Live music was fun.

N'a pas aimé: Very small number of toilets for such a big site. Only 4 cubicles for women and as it was a busy and wet weekend these got very mucky quickly. Shower was lovely and hot but was more of a spray gun and everything got a soaking... Luckily I hadn't brought my shoes inside!

A aimé : Really friendly staff….
Plenty of space.
Live music. Those that complain on here (which I read before camping) should just pitch away from the barns. the farm is plenty big enough. We pitched close and even then the music isn’t horrendous. It got me to sleep! It’s not loud from the tents.
Free Tea/coffee (first time I’ve experienced this when camping!)
Food van on site reasonable prices
Licensed bar great….
Slush puppies & my whippy ice creams (£2) delicious.
Hay bales climbing frame was occupied by kids from 7am till 10pm. Kids had an absolute BLAST on this. Happy kids = happy parents!
Tractor rides also a great idea!!

It really was top drawer and I would recommend this place to everyone I know (I already have)

N'a pas aimé: No local walks advertised. I expected to see some suggested walks in the useful info board. Other camp sites do, could be a nice touch.
No hot water to wash up, cold only. Again comparing other campsites have hot water. It’s difficult to clean greased pans. Boiling ur own water to wash up is a bit of a faff.
Recycling not promoted. Separate bins… Could be an easy quick win?
Toilet cleanliness not brilliant, there token air freshener but really stinks bad of urine. I could cope as it’s camping after all!!
Lots of wasps…. Could just be this year is bad, may he nothing to do with the site. Again guess that’s just country life. Not a deal breaker.

I did ask one staff member if I could swap a few damp logs for dry Logs as I was struggling to light them. He wanted my to buy more and was like “it’s tough”. I thought it was a bit harsh. All staff were great, I think this was one rogue bad apple.
