Kedvelték: Good clean facilities. Quiet and rural. Nice to be able to have a small fire and just relax for the evening.

Kedvelték: Peaceful, tranquil site in quiet location with lovely view.

Nem kedvelték: No cars allowed on site so you have to transport all your gear in a wheelbarrow to your pitch, then back to your car at end of stay. For a mature couple in our late 60's on a very hot day, this proved to be extremely hard work. A group of much younger and fitter people staying on the site commented to us that they also found it difficult to transport all the gear they had.

Kezelői megjegyzés: I’m genuinely sorry and disappointed to hear that transporting your gear to your pitch was such hard work, especially in the heat. We completely understand that taking a car onto the campsite would be much easier and it is something we have tried in the past.
The no-car rule was introduced from the middle of last year after a number of guests got stuck trying to drive onto the field — even during dry spells. Some areas of the ground remain soft and unpredictable, and we’ve found that restricting vehicles is the best way to prevent damage, keep guests safe, and protect the land. As a greener camping club site, we also try to maintain the natural setting with as little disruption to the environment and local wildlife as possible.
The campsite is run solely by myself and Harriet, alongside our full-time roles at the charity, so unfortunately we’re not able to be on-site at all times. That said, whenever we are around — which is quite often — we’re always more than happy to help guests move their things if they ask us. We completely understand that it can be physically demanding, especially in hot weather. Harriet and I were on-site during your arrival and would have been glad to help, if we had known you were struggling.
All proceeds from the campsite go directly toward our work rescuing and rehabilitating vulnerable ex-racehorses — something that has become even more essential due to reduced funding in recent years. While I’m truly sorry that this part of your stay fell short, I want to thank you sincerely for supporting our mission just by staying with us :)
Even though you mentioned you won’t be returning, please know that if you ever reconsider, we’d be more than happy to help with getting your things to and from your pitch to make things easier for you both. In light of your review I will try to make it clearer on our page that cars are no permitted on the site. Thank you again for your feedback.
Many Thanks

Kedvelték: Great site. All staff are friendly and approachable. I was a solo female with two teenagers and one 3yr old and They helped us with our camping gear. The field wasn't suitable to bring the car to the pitch so they put everything on the trailer and took it to the pitch. And helped us off site in the same way. Site was very clean and tidy. The toilets where emptied and cleaned in the mornings. Nice, clean warm showers. Overall i was very impressed with the site

Kedvelték: We had a really nice two nights here. The toilets, kitchen area and showers were lovely and clean. The site was so peaceful at night time too which was great. It is on a steep hill so you need to get there at 3 so you can pitch at the top of the hill to avoid being an a steep slant! No complaints at all. We will definitely be returning, it's exactly what we wanted

Nem kedvelték: No dislikes, although if we'd had to camp on the slant of the hill, it wouldn't have been possible. Apart from that, all good!

Kezelői megjegyzés: Hi Trisha, thank you for your review, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and would visit us again, we look forward to welcoming you to WHF again :) Just to note, the steep part of the field is not part of the campsite, it is only the top half of the field. See you soon! WHF x

Kedvelték: The warm welcome, tent, cleanliness and facilities, especially the hot showers. And the fact that the money from the Glamping help's to support the Farms amazing work looking after retired race horses. No WiFi, but there was a solid 4G.

Nem kedvelték: Absolutely nothing.
