Farrs Meadow

Kedvelték Lovely peaceful location and the kids were able to range around freely because there are no cars on site. The host was lovely and took all belongings to the site for us.

The kids enjoyed the rope swing and climbing trees.

Easy walk to a nice farm shop for ice cream and also to the river. We had fun swimming and paddle boarding.

Showers were hot.

Nem kedvelték I would have liked a light in the toilets.

Kedvelték Solitude. 20 minute walk into Wimborne.

Nem kedvelték Difficulty getting from car to camp site and back - muddy track (although grateful for the lift up to camping area with my stuff). The compost loos were really hard to find - had to ask other campers as they aren't obvious. Water supply was from a hose by the car park, not a tap, so hard to control and had to lug water up hill - path not fit for a trolley. Place generally feels a bit run down and ramshackle. Seemed a bit pricey given the lack of facilities.

Kedvelték Really beautiful spot on the edge of Wimborne. David was really accommodating with us arriving a little early to get to our friends wedding that we were attending near by, and was happy to drive our stuff up to the camping field (the last bit from the parking is pretty steep!) and seemed like an all round nice guy.

Nem kedvelték No complaints!

Kezelői megjegyzés: It was really nice meeting you all, you’ll have to come again if you have time between all the weddings!
(text me the name of the band again)

Kedvelték Surrounding wooded area for children to play and make dens
Plenty of walks straight from the site
Walk to Wimborne
Walk to river Stour
Really friendly hosts David and Debbie
Quiet and safe site - no cars in the field

Nem kedvelték Nothing

Kedvelték Really friendly, helpful host. Great location. All the basic amenities you need for a comfortable stay.

Kedvelték Location was amazing. Such a wonderful view from the bottom shepherds hut paddock. David, the host, was very kind enough to let us pitch our quick getaway tent in this field due to no other occupants and we were only staying onsite for a total of 12 hours.

Despite arriving about an hour later than planned, David was enthusiastic about our stay, chatted about why we were not cold having driven with the roof down on the car, talked to us a little bit about the amenities of the site and gave us the best tour he could give, considering it was pretty dark at that point.

Total credit to the campsite.

Camp fire was no issue, absolutely massive fire bowl already provided.

We got woken up by cockerel’s and hens. This isn’t a complaint. They woke us up by surrounding the tent like an angry gang of clueless birds. We accidentally left a box of 5 chicken selects which one particularly hefty guy with dark brown, almost black bits, scoffed down in record time. I’m sorry David! This wasn’t an intentional attempt at the plucky rooster to engage in mild cannibalism I swear!

David invited us to return any time we like. We’re in the area very frequently so as time and weather allows, this may well become a regular place to bed down in peace and quiet for the night.

It has no WiFi, but, who cares. This is a site to switch off from it.

Nem kedvelték That’s easy! The driveway from the main road (itself a pain in the… yep) is basically unstable surfaces meets steep bits meets random deep idents in the surface. It’s pretty winding too. Rear wheel drivers beware, you’ll want less torque more traction for this bad boy. Slow and steady will win that race. I can imagine it changes during rainfalls too. Just something to bear in mind.

Kedvelték Great facilities, really nice and quiet.
Loads of room. David was super helpful

Kedvelték Good place for an family stay.
We enjoyed to stay around the fireplace in the middle of the night.
Nice and quiet, in the middle of the nature.
Friendly proprietor!

Thank you!

Kedvelték Excellent atmosphere, very friendly and helpful owner!

Kedvelték Quiet, Friendly, Proprietor very helpful. Good location for activities

Nem kedvelték Facilities basic, no access for cars to site so reliant on site transport (which was timely and effective).
