A aimé The campsite felt really safe and secure, which made for a very relaxing stay. The toilets and showers were spotlessly clean and much nicer than those at some club sites I’ve stayed at!

The staff were also incredibly understanding and accommodating when I had an issue with my van and needed to stay beyond the usual departure time. Their kindness and flexibility took a lot of stress out of an already difficult situation, and it was very much appreciated.

Overall, a lovely campsite with excellent facilities and a welcoming atmosphere. I would happily recommend it and would definitely stay again!

N'a pas aimé It would have been handy to have warm water available for washing up, or a sign to let campers know if it isn’t available (apologies if I missed one!). That way, I could have boiled some water beforehand rather than making the trip to the washing-up area. But this didn’t dampen my stay!

A aimé Facilities were nice and clean

N'a pas aimé A lot of agricultural machinery moving around through the site very early in the morning, very expensive for the time of year

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for your feedback.

As is detailed in the campsite description on Pitchup the site is located on a working mixed farm.

As we hope you are aware over the last few years farming has become very challenging in the UK.
Your stay coincided with the cross over between Autumn harvest and planting next season’s crop, which is a well-known busy time for farming.
With changes in relation to environmental factors, weather patterns are also changing, with more unpredictable periods occurring. With this all being the case, farmers have to make the most of clement weather windows to conduct tasks like planting at a time dictated to by the weather, to ensure produce is of a quality suitable to place on the market, at a time when the UK faces more pressure in relation to food security.

With relation to farm traffic movement the published Quiet Hours, reviewable in the Booking Terms and Conditions, of between 7 a.m. and 10:30pm where respected.

With regards to being “very expensive for the time of year”. The campsite operates on a two-season basis (Summer and Winter Seasons), with the Summer Season ending on 29th of October. As with every season, research is conducted to ensure we are competitive with other campsites in the Wiltshire area that offer similar facilities. Indeed, prices have been maintained for a number of seasons now, despite the rising costs experienced by most UK businesses and the different use cases of campers. Examples being more electric demands for shower units, and higher cleaning expenses in the summer, with more electric demands for heating appliances etc in the winter.

A aimé Clean, peaceful, lovely site.

A aimé Lovely, peaceful spot with easy access to village (and great Nepalese food at the Lion & Fiddle!) Facilities were excellent, and we enjoyed watching the piglets in a neighbouring field. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

A aimé The size of the pitch

Recommanderait à des amis Séjournerait à nouveau

A aimé Peaceful secure pitch. We stayed for 3 nights on the number 5 electric pitch, a bit of a walk to the shower/ toilet block but we had open space on three sides which was great. Clean well ordered facilities and the site was well managed.

N'a pas aimé The campsite was quite quiet at the time of our visit and I would imagine that the existing facilities would be overloaded when the site is fully populated.

The owners and management team routinely discuss possible areas for improvement, so welcome your feedback.
We have some plans in the pipeline, that should be ready for next year’s summer season so hope you will visit again next year.

A aimé Nice location, quiet and peaceful, large grass electric pitch with hard standing, lovely showers and toilet da polities, cast iron fire pit for hire with a bucket of logs, secure compound

N'a pas aimé Advertised as a working farm and was disappointed not to be closer to the farmyard animals

We are glad you found the campsite peaceful, and liked the facilities.

With regards the disappointment not to be closer to farmyard animals, unfortunately during your stay some of the animals had been rotated to a field away from the campsite.

A aimé Very clean site, spacious, very friendly owner, offered what we had expected on a simple farm campsite
