The Apple Farm

A aimé The ease of booking and the assurance of confirmation.
The welcome email was fantastic! It included everything needed-Location postcode, description of entrance, wonderful directions down to the campsite and information for the shop, showers and toilets.

The campsite it's self, a wonderful layout. A feeling of privacy with each pitch. Good size pitch with nice segregation from others. The inclusion of a fire pit was brilliant.

N'a pas aimé I wish I was there longer to fully experience the site.

Unfortunately I found quite a few stones when pithing up. Nothing unworkable, just made putting the pegs deep enough a bit trick.

A aimé Nergens blij mee. Met tentje in open veld zonder beschutting. Prijs/kwaliteit schaamteloos.

N'a pas aimé Een erg slechte camping voor een schandalig hoge prijs. We betaalden meer dan 60£ (pond) voor 2 nachten. Geen elektriciteit, douches werkten niet of alleen koud water. Zeer slecht toegankelijk.

No staff. Communication only via email. No flat pitches 02/09/2025 Netherlands (Middle-aged couple, 1 review)
Pitch type: Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Not happy with anything. Camping in an open field with no shelter. Price/quality is outrageous
Disliked: A very bad campsite for a scandalously high price. We paid more than £60 for 2 nights. No electricity, showers did not work or only had cold water. Very poorly accessible.Private feedback: It's disgraceful to charge so much money without offering anything in return. We feel cheated! Request for a refund of the reservation to the Groefsema family.

We are a little confused. We have 4 team members on site. You also have a phone number directly to us. We didn't hear from you during your stay.
You had booked a non electric grass pitch and then you are unhappy with no electricity? The camping meadow is of course an open field and any shelter that you bring would be your own. The pitches are huge and flat. There are 6 showers onsite and they are checked daily.
We are an off grid, back to basics grass camping site ( unless you are glamping of course)
Perhaps there has been a language barrier and you were expecting a more commercial holiday site.
On the upside thank you for 5 out of 5 for cleanliness!

A aimé Pitches nicely spaced out and private, nice size with room to park your car. Facilities kept nice and clean throughout the day and nice hot water. The orchard near showers looked absolutely stunning, trees laden with beautiful red fruit, which the owner after having a nice chat with her said I was able to take some apples, which I jumped at the chance as they were so delicious. The pigs (were pigs) and loved being fed apples and the sheep loved picked grass. The goats are really funny and have just had their area made bigger by Jake one of the volunteers and the goats seem to love it….. there are 3 lovely Guinea pigs too. There is a fridge and freezer that campers can also use and a very small shop to get apple juice, sausage etc. The town centre is only about 3miles away, we got an Uber from Cobbs in the morning which was about £8. Cobbs is a cafe/ shop next door to the opening to the farm, which is definitely worth a visit, quite expensive but some fab stuff. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and will definitely be going back at some point. There are also 2 brand new shepherd huts being added to the site later this year, which will be a lovely addition 😊

A aimé Lovely, peaceful location. My son loved going and saying "Morning" to all the animals. Facilities were clean and the showers were hot. The tent pitch was generously sized.

A aimé A beautifully idyllic and well maintained site that served us well for an overnight stay in the area. The instructions to get there seem difficult at first but the farm was incredibly easy to find. As we were driving up the track, we saw deer and rabbits - and of course the kept menagerie living on farm were a huge bonus and extremely friendly and well looked after. The pitches are large and well spaced out so that conversations and quiet noise doesnt drift over to the other guests. We were delighted to be able to use the firepit easily and safely. We were also pleasantly surprised by the intermittent signal - enough at least to be able to send assurance to family that we'd made it safely. Bathroom facilities were ample for the number of guests and were very pleasant - not just your standard portaloos! We bought some sausages from the shop for our breakfast and both agreed they were deliciously juicy. It's only a shame we weren't able to try the bacon too. If we're ever back in the area, this site will be top of my list to check for vacancies.

A aimé Loved this site. If you like quirky off the beaten track. All the facitlities you need we even found our phones worked just! Close to Strateford.

N'a pas aimé Nothing can be done about it but quite alot of road noise. Due to two sets of gates and track to get down you wouldn't want to be coming and going. Second set of gates I hurt myself trying to close them could do with a little attention.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate the feedback.
Its great that you like the fact that we are "off the beaten track". Of course that means that we have a long drive!
The gates are there for everyone's security and to keep the livestock where they should be as we are a working farm. We will check the gates so see if they are swinging properly, thanks for the heads up.
As mentioned on our website, you can sometimes hear the road that is 3 fields away. Lots of reviews comment on peace and quiet but we are sorry if you were disturbed by the distant noise.
We hope to see you again!

A aimé Quiet, good clean facilities
