Marshwood Farm

This is a great campsite. There is plenty of space so you don't feel on top of your neighbours, the facilities are excellent and the warden/owner very helpful. There is an honesty system for basic groceries which is really helpful and really everything works as you hope it would. Highly recommended.

Nothing really!

What a lovely camping site! Everything was so neat and well thought of. Pitches were generous, views beautiful, peacefulness a bliss. Excellently stocked honesty shop, flushing toilets and hot showers, friendly hosts. Facilities were spotless. Stonehenge just 15min drive. Already planning a return visit

Everything 🤩

None

I stayed at Marshwood farm heavily pregnant and on my own. I felt thoroughly safe and looked after throughout my stay. Breakfast in a basket delivered to my Shepard’s hut door was a lovely touch and both of the owners are very friendly but also conscious of giving their guests space to relax. Facilities are clean and useful and the honesty shop came in handy for a few things I’d forgotten (the prices are very reasonable). I loved the distant sound of the lambs and ewes and the expansive views across the fields. Even though it rained a little that didn’t spoil my time there.

There was a big group of children and parents in the tents further away from the Shephard’s hut - also friendly but I was far enough away in the hut to not hear them.

Tip for anyone coming by electric car - McDonald’s and Costa in Solstice Park, Amesbury (about 20 mins away) have a 120 kw charger with 3 connectors. My car charged fully in 1 hour.

Thanks to all at Marshwood Farm for a loverly stay!

The OAK sheperds hut was lovely very cosy, the owner has really thought of everything! they also had a little honesty shop with all your little essentials at a really fair price. Very friendly felt very welcome the breakfast hampers was a lovely touch. Out door shower was perfect even for the time of year, however they also had indoor showers if you would prefer. Will defo try to make it back here again!

The secluded location, facilities and decor were all beautiful. The hut was perfectly kitted out for the two of us to stay in, cook a little lunch, cosy up by the fire and read. It was also a beautiful spot to explore, or just sit outside and read in the afternoon sun. The bed was superb, and I'm very fussy with mattresses, and the daily delivery of breakfast made us feel very special indeed. As veterans of a compost loo I can say that this the best we've encountered, even for the least experienced user. Fiona was a delightful host, very warm and friendly and made us feel utterly at east even given the restrictions in place. We can't wait to return!

The family who ran the farm were very lovely and chatty, we learned all about the farm and the great work they do there to preserve and protect the local wildlife.

The delicious breakfast hamper each morning was so thoughtful and they catered well to our specific dietary requirements.

The hut was warm enough without needing to light the wood burning stove which was a bit of a shame because that would have been fun - but we couldn’t complain as we were lucky with the mild weather.

The toilet was an eco-friendly compost toilet, which is a great concept, but it did pong rather a lot - perhaps more so than usual because of the warm weather.

The Gas shower was nice and hot - when it stayed lit, unfortunately it was rather windy on our last day and we had to re-light it a couple of times, meaning periods of being very cold in between, but it did add a nice bit of adrenaline to the morning.

It was lovely and quiet there at night, with only the sounds of the wind and occasional wild animal - and the stars peeked brightly through the openings in the cloud - a proper countryside getaway!

The bed was open sprung (as opposed to pocket sprung), so unfortunately you could feel the springs beneath you, but we fixed this by lying on a duvet we brought with us - a thick mattress topper would work well in future.
We missed having a tap in/close by the hut to wash our hands after using the toilet/cooking etc - there is one but it’s a little further than one would like and a fiddle to disconnect the shower hose every time.
