Thank you for your review, see you again one day.

A aimé Peaceful rural location, big open field, choose your own spot to camp, wide views all round, simple facilities but everything you need, very friendly owner/ farmers. Easy walk to pub and shop, 10 mins drive to beach, dog friendly.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Thank you both for staying and for your accurate description of our pop up campsite!

We hope to see you again sometime,

All the best

Hazel and Stuart.

A aimé The hosts, the relaxed site, the space....This is the kind of site i like; a working farm, a big flat field, basic but good and sufficient facilities, welcoming hosts, quick and clear communication, a pub 10 mins walk down the road, a beach 10 mins drive down the road (and i suppose another 15 min walk from the car park driven to), big sky, peace and quiet.

A aimé Price was good. Booking was easy and communication and directions were spot on.

N'a pas aimé The site was just a field with long grass and very bumpy. We couldn't find anywhere really flat to pitch the tent. It seemed like no effort had been made to create flat, mown areas for tents. It wasn't so bad in the camper but walking around in the evening in long grass meant we all got bitten by creepy crawlies. A quick mow in along the hedge line would have made it much more pleasant.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Dear Heather,

Thank you for your review and for confirming the price and directions were good.

I really am sorry you were disappointed and that your stay did not meet your expectations, however as the other reviews and our Higher Easton Farm Campsite write up on here states, we are a basic, pop up, back to nature campsite, people come here for the big views, the sun set, the sun rises and the night sky as we are in an officially recognised dark sky area. This is a place to switch off and unwind, that is why I say camp where you want to, so that if you want to have a good amount of space between you and other campers you can, but as others have said it is a basic, old fashioned campsite . We are often described as wild camping with facilities. I have read your comments carefully, we do mow along the hedge line regularly and there are several (wider than a car) tracks to where campers pitch up, so there is no need to walk in anything other than the tracks (very short grass) unless you want to. To keep the mown areas really short we usually mow weekly however because the weather keeps coming in damp we have been able to mow for the last 10 days, if we had our campers would have walked damp mown grass back into their tents or van. As soon as the weather improves the mower will be in operation. Sorry you didn't find a spot flat enough for you, as far as I am aware you are the only guest to say this.
Best wishes for the rest of your summer. With the greatest respect, I think you would enjoy a more manicured campsite with designated pitches, these types of sites will have by the nature of them much less biodiversity than you will find on most pop up campsites which are located in farming, rural areas.

Yours sincerely,

Hazel

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay.

With best wishes for the rest of your summer,

A aimé A very simple but clean campsite, pretty much perfect for a weekend away. Perfectly located with the local pub and store within walking distance and also close enough but not too close to Bigbury on sea, meaning you have the beach a 7 min drive away but not the crowd.
Hazel was great in communication and very helpful.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Dear Adam,

Thanks for your review. Delighted you had an enjoyable stay here, it's always nice to hear folks have had a good stay.

See again sometime,

Hazel and Stuart.

A aimé We had a lovely weekend escape at Higher Easton. We arrived on the Friday and were the only people on site meaning we were able to have the peaceful and undisturbed break we were looking for. Hazel was incredibly welcoming and friendly but also left us to our own devices which we appreciated. The farm is beautiful and it's lovely to walk past and see the calves on the way to and from the shower area. The showers and toilets are basic but clean and tidy, which is all we needed!

N'a pas aimé Nothing to report!
