Down on the Farm

Ik was blij met We found the farm campsite on pitch up and booked for a family weekend.
Great site, running water, electric hook up, washing up facilities (although no hot water), play barn is amazing for kids and only £2.50 for the day per child staying on site.

Great site for families, friends, couples, although it is very accommodating for children it is also perfect for people without kids.

Homemade cakes daily!

There are toys in the restaurant / cafe, toys outside of the main barn by the goats.
Goats and cow’s people can stroke.
The owners are absolutely lovely and work really hard.

We will be back and have already recommended to friends!

Ik was niet blij met Only improvements could be more showers as only two (someone super selfish spent an hour in there at peak time!), or at least a sign to remind the selfish people that others are waiting and not to take the mick.
I think maybe the showers are too nice for campsite showers so people want to do their make up and take ages in there maybe?
An idea if there was another shower block built would be smaller shower rooms so more can be fitted in, and an area outside with mirrors also so people can dry hair and finish getting ready etc.

Also mirrors in the toilets behind the showers as currently none there would be amazing!

Ik was blij met Lovely setting and friendly staff

Ik was niet blij met Lack of facilities; only 2 showers, always had to queue, not very clean (made worse due to volume). Showers look great but leaked and sprayed onto the floor as there was no curtain. Wooden floor therefore very slippy.
Water temperature fluctuated from scalding to freezing yet sink water always seemed to be warm (not great when brushing your teeth)
No cover or lighting in outside washing up area and similar water temperature issues.
What disappointed us most was that these issues are clearly known, having looked back at previous reviews yet nothing seems to be changing…

Ik was blij met We loved it. The play barn was amazing and such good value. The cafe was great, everything clean, staff lovely and even cute animals. Def coming back

Ik was niet blij met More showers might be useful in the future as it gets busier. Wasn't as issue for us though.

Ik was blij met Was a nice field with lots of space. The cafe looked lovely too. Check in was easy.

Ik was niet blij met Portaloos were not cleaned while we were there.

You could hear music until 4am so couldn’t sleep. Although we believe it was from a nearby festival but weren’t told about it on arrival.

Van de manager: We're sorry to hear that you couldn't sleep, we werenot aware that the festival would disturb anyone and it is completely out of our control. We are raising the noise level with the festival to explain it had an impact on you.
The portal toilets were brought in as extra for the weekend as it was busy and thought it would help people that side of the field. I can assure you, these were checked and cleaned. Unfortunately people can leave these in a mess straight after a clean.

Ik was blij met Lovely small site,
Staff superb , laid back relaxed .

Ik was blij met Loads of space to chose where to camp. Fantastic cafe and animals to interact with. The kids enjoyed the play barn and vehicles. The toilets and showers were fab too!

Ik was niet blij met The pond/lake could do with some of the surface scum/algae removing?

Van de manager: Sorry to hear you had a cold shower, we were made aware of someone having a cold shower and got it sorted. We're glad you enjoyed your stay.

Ik was blij met Very spacious, very quiet site which was lovely. Having the farm animals was lovely, and facilities very clean and inviting. Beautiful cafe onsite too.

Ik was niet blij met Not very obvious how to check in after cafe closes but other than that, no issues.

Ik was blij met Great location to stay particularly if you have young children. Spacious level gravel and grass pitches with electric and water easily available. WiFi was also easy to access. Nice view over the small lake and there is a cafe next to the children’s play areas. Staff very pleasant and helpful

Ik was niet blij met Two private showers ( with toilets)and one separate toilet which in the busy periods I would imagine would get very busy. Hot water was very hot and miss and a matter of luck🥶. Washing up area available but very basic and could do with upgrading.

Ik was blij met Really warm welcome after we decided where to put the van (it was one of the right places). We had booked the fire pit so were given a v generous load of kindling, logs and fire lighters. Great to cook over, with a built in side winding grill.
Very open site, in development still.
Wash area v comfortable.
Great place for small children plus dog on lead friendly.

Ik was niet blij met You can hear a road nearby, at night, if you are noise sensitive. If you are a city person you’d think it was all silent!
