The Hop Farm

Kedvelték We stayed for one night and overall the campsite itself was nice. The grounds were pleasant and the location was good. Our stay would have been enjoyable if it wasn’t for the behaviour of the people camping next to us.

Nem kedvelték Unfortunately, the people staying in the tent next to us repeatedly used the bushes right beside our tent as a toilet. We challenged them and politely explained that they shouldn’t be doing this, particularly so close to other people’s tents. Their response was, “It’s a public place.” We replied that while it may be a public place, it certainly isn’t a public toilet, especially when proper toilet facilities are provided on the campsite.

It was extremely unpleasant, unhygienic and disrespectful to other campers. Unfortunately, some people seem to lack basic understanding and consideration for others.

I would strongly suggest that the campsite management put up clear signs around the camping areas stating that bushes must not be used as toilets and that the provided toilet facilities must be used. It may sound like something that shouldn’t need to be explained, but based on our experience, apparently it does.

Kedvelték Large flat campsite divided into different sections. Pleasant walk to the river. Easy access to electrics and water. Close to main roads for days out.

Nem kedvelték Didn’t receive booking confirmation - had to ring to double check. Limited information at reception. Small showers and smelly near chemical toilet disposal area. Surprised at 5 star rating at entrance.

Kezelői megjegyzés: There were 9 out of 30 electric pitches in use for your 1 night stay and decided to go in one of the non-electric fields for more space.
There is a fire ban due to the ground conditions and the only barbecues permitted are gas or disposable ones if raised off the ground, the reason for this is that they only last for 1 hour and are safer than someone burning lots of charcoal and adding wood which will produce large flames with a risk of sparks from wood igniting the ground causing a wildfire putting peoples lives at risk. We did have a stock of disposable barbecues for sale.

Kedvelték The space and choice of where to pitch

Kedvelték Staff friendly, huge campsite complement of space. Right by the river for paddle boarding.

Nem kedvelték Although not the fault of the campsite the motorbikes zooming up and down the road near by are annoying but not bought to
Spoil visit.

Kedvelték Was a nice site.
Lots
Of open space. Would have been beautiful had there been some rain recently.

Nem kedvelték Lots of cigarette butts on our pitch.
Gents toilets without hot water for a few days. At one point the second block was then locked as well.

The dry weather has certainly made the grass look very sad in the whole of this area, we need lots of rain to improve the look of the site and to lift the ban on firepits and barbecues.
It is very annoying when people think it is ok to dispose of cigarette butts on the ground as these are classed as litter and during this dry period can cause a fire.
Apologies for the lack of hot water in one of the blocks I did put a notice on the door however there was miscommunication between the boiler repair man and cleaner and this was removed for a short while with the other block being locked until we were made aware of this.
We look forward to seeing you again.

Kedvelték Everything was absolutely fine. I would just like to mention that it was difficult to find the entrance to the site; clearer and more visible signs are needed.
Beautiful nature, a river, and a wonderful time relaxing there. I recommend it 100%.

The brown road signs on the approach(tourist and leisure) indicate the Hop Farm and there are signs on entry however google maps likes to take people towards Paddock Wood.
We look forward to welcoming you again.
