Daisy Mays Farm

A aimé : Great place for the kids to explore. Staff very welcoming and explained the rules of the site on arrival. Kids can wander the animals and fed the lambs. Peaceful nights sleep

N'a pas aimé: The camper van area was very tight. No more that 15m x 15m. Sola light for the toilet broken so need a torch even during the day. Grandson disappointed as we were advised to go to the farm at 9am to pick his own eggs. Got there on time but no one around to help out.

A aimé : This place is lovely if your main aim is to spend the time at the farm with kids. The scenery was beautiful with lots to keep the children entertained. The place was well maintained and looked after. There were nice areas for the children to explore while staying. We also liked the free roaming sheep who came to visit during our stay.

N'a pas aimé: I think it’s really important to be aware that if you are camping on the hard ground with camper vans/motor homes, you are pitched on a car park in the middle of the farm, and there is absolutely no privacy between you and those customers visiting the farm. We didn’t realise as we arrived after closing on a Friday, however when 11am rolled around we quite literally felt like part of the attraction with lots of families slowly walking past staring at us in between the pigs and the sheep, then walking through our pitch to exit the public walkway. We were not prepared for this and we felt very vulnerable with our privacy invaded. We felt misled with the description, and If we would have been made aware of the set up we would not have booked here. To not feel safe and comfortable on your pitch in our opinion is not worth the cost of the entrance to the farm. I have tried to be as fair as possible with this review, as it really is a lovely place to visit, just misleading in the advertisement for accommodating motorhomes.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thanks for taking the time to write us a review. We are glad you enjoyed the farm but are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the camping area. We feel that is important to mention that this weekend when you visited, there was a weather warning in place for very high winds and rain. This made accessing many of our normal pitches impossible. We did cancel several of our bookings because of this but left yours (and your friends in the other 2 motorhomes) as confirmed, as we received messages from you all upon booking, stating that you all wanted to pitch next to each other. Therefore we did not think that being in a small space would cause a problem to the group. We are sorry that you were not happy with the area that we provided. However, during the winter we are only able to use areas of hardstanding for motorhomes, as accessing the grass pitches is not possible. As soon as the weather improves, the full site will once again be open, so that people can enjoy more space and tranquillity. Kind Regards The Daisy May’s Team

A aimé : Just me and my nephew - staff were really lovely. Opened the field for me, checked up on me and stopped to chat. Field great, campfire under the stars listening to the sheep. Free entry to the petting section to feed the goats and sheep.

A aimé : We had a great stay at Daisy Mays. We camped by the trees opposite a sheep field in February. It was very muddy following a very wet few weeks, but that didn't stop us having a good time. A lovely area with a ground fire pit which we used each night to keep warm. The kids especially liked seeing all the animals and holding baby goats in the petting area. I think for the price it was ideal for a few days get away. The first 2 days we were the only people camping which I think definitely helped with the camping experience! There was a viking adventure golf 5 minutes walk from the site which we played and a nearby national trust park which we walked out dog at. Lovely location and family friendly.

N'a pas aimé: There was quite a bit of rubbish around the camping area (drinks cans, metal pegs, muddy socks, old air pump, batteries on the fire pit) all which we tidied up before pitching our tent. During the second night some people arrived late when we were sleeping and pitched a tent in the dark (making noise and using torches outside our tent) this woke us and the kids which wasn't ideal. Between them and the other 2 campervans that arrived after dark, I feel the arrival time wasn't adhered by.

A aimé : It’s a working farm with a nice variety of animals. The people were friendly and our child was able to milk a goat. It was a very relaxed atmosphere. Nice walks around the village. Pubs just 5 min away, a Tesco and chippy just 10 min walk.

N'a pas aimé: Being out of season we felt a little that we were not supposed to be there and a little run down. And was very muddy. But to be expected being January with a lot of rain recently.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Osman, our campsite is open all year round as often in the winter we have hikers wanting to stay, or campers hopping from site to site. We are a farm and in the winter it is certainly not picturesque and there is plenty of mud. As an open farm our campsite includes family entry to the farm and I can see how you maybe don’t think that you got great value for money, as a single person. However, this is all stated in our listing, along with the fact that all of our pitches are grass. To anybody that wishes to camp in the winter months, please fully read the description. You are more than welcome but please come prepared. It’s camping at its bleakest! Many Thanks The Daisy May’s Team

A aimé : Was great fun and clean camping, got to see lots of animals and would definitely go again

N'a pas aimé: There was a wasps nest at the camp underground and 2 of us got stung But wasn't a major issue

A aimé : Had a fantastic time yesterday, best camp site ever! Being around the free roaming goats/sheep was fantastic. Bottle feeding baby goats, holding chicks, lovely coffee, lovely food. Plenty of room for everyone, honestly was a great stay.

N'a pas aimé: The noisy family up being loud until 11pm, obviously not the farms fault. The family that had their car running for HOURS was pretty annoying too! Again not the farms fault, just selfish people.
