The Old Dairy Farm Caravan and Camping

A aimé Great spot

A aimé Genuinely a really nice place to stay. We stayed for a long weekend, some of our family were able to book in to camp for 1 night, which the manger helped us with, even able to let them set up their tents right next to ours!

Some of the previous reviews on here state that the campsite is not clean and the management are rude, we would disagree.

If you are after a clean 5* place then hotels are for you. Camping is always a bit dirty and rough, in my opinion camping is an experience and you build your kit to make it comfortable.

There is plenty to do for the kids with a bouncy castle, play park, goats to feed or fuss. A shop on site that sells basics that you may have forgotten, and food to give to the goats.

There's 2 toilet and shower blocks both basic but secure and kept well, with a washing up area just behind.

The campsite has a cafe style kitchen that serves breakfast bits, burgers, vegan burgers and pizza. All of it sounds very delicious. The campsite also has a pub style bar, we haven’t been inside as of yet, but all looks very inviting.

The owner is a very down to earth guy, we had an issue with a neighbour banging another caravan at 1am. We were awake anyway but we were worried about others being woken up. We phoned up and he was able to resolve this very quickly.

Yes, there's a train that runs by close to the main field of the site, which has been noted on the pitch up website. For us it wasn’t an issue. It’s all part of the fun. We are also both from big families so are used to all the noise. No complaints from us at all!

Take negative reviews with a pinch of salt. Everyone has their preference. We would definitely come again!

A aimé Spacious pitches, Goats & Birds on site, not far to walk to the pub which served good food. Received text message before arrival to advise on pitch availability, no problems

N'a pas aimé Onsite Bar was not open due to low visitors which was a shame, but nice pub called the Brasenose just down the road

A aimé Huge spacious area

N'a pas aimé Hygienic situation in Toilets and especially in showers. Also electrical installation in Toilet room is unsafe.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Please read other contradictory reviews for the same time period.

Also I shall inform my electrician that a guest from Germany has condemned his work? I’m sure he’ll appreciate the feedback after 30 years of doing his job.

A aimé Lovely site, no complaints at all. Toilets and showers clean and warm, good facilities (even though closed due to small numbers). Goats and birds were a lovely feature too.

N'a pas aimé Nothing at all

A aimé The location is charming, featuring on-site animals and a small play area.

The on-site showers were exceptionally clean, and the facilities provided all necessary amenities.

N'a pas aimé Nothing to dislike, wish we stayed longer.

A aimé Easy check in , good size pitches, close to lovely village and pubs

N'a pas aimé Very tired looking facilities. Not enough bins, overall despite potential the place felt neglected and tired. Needs investment and enthusiasm to return it to it's potential.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Certainly not neglected or tired, we are constantly upgrading and have done since we opened a few years ago.
Maybe the look was due to your stay being during a thunder storm?
Please read majority contradictory reviews.

A aimé I liked that is wasnt very busy but that meant the bar anc shop wasnt open. But if need the shop just ring number on door and they will open it up just for you which was lovely. lovely walk along the canal

N'a pas aimé Showers and toilets in difficult location.
Didn't like that was greeted but text message on where to go. (but thats just my preference and didnt affect my stay)
Railway line at bottom of campsite so some may find that disturbing but didnt bother me too much
