The Old Dairy Farm Caravan and Camping

Likte Great site this one. Lovely vibe, nice bar/kitchen seating area next to the goats, really relaxed, pitch where you want, will def be back. Very friendly host.

Likte The Bouncing castles, children’s play area, animals and location were all fantastic. The site is very well presented and clean. There was a bar and shop on site serving food.

Likte ikke There was no ‘quiet time’ like in other sites we have visited. We were next to people in tents that were still playing music loudly at 11-12pm.

Fra bestyreren: Quiet time is advertised from 9pm, and I enforce from 10pm. I asked a few campers on my 10pm walkabout to turn music off, and half an hour later at 11pm didn’t come across any offenders. Not to say they didn’t see me coming and I couldn’t hear the music from a distance - which is rare. However my number is readily available and advertised to help in these situations, unfortunately I can only help if I’m aware of a situation.

Likte Great site, with clean toilets and showers

Likte Lovely site that is very family friendly. A great choice of pitches and close to the amenities. It was a bonus having the animals and so much wildlife all around us. We took a walk along the local canal and went into the local village which had a nice cafe and pubs. The site had a bar and takeaway food which priced very reasonably, also a shop with essentials and bits to entertain the kids. You can hire fire pits and buy the fuel on site, nice to sit around on an evening. The staff were very friendly and lovely to have a chat with.

Likte First time visiting and we were really impressed. We received a warm welcome on arrival, the pitches were a great size, and the facilities were exactly what we needed.

The bar was a real highlight, with a great atmosphere and excellent music. Our daughter especially loved meeting the goats and spending time watching the birds in the aviary.

Despite the site being quite busy, it had a wonderfully relaxed, chilled-out vibe and the evenings were peaceful. There was a brief spell of loud music from a larger group one evening, but the owner dealt with it straight away and everything quickly settled down again.

Overall, a fantastic stay and we'll definitely be returning. Highly recommended!

Likte ikke The trains were noisy throughout the night - nothing the campsite can do about that, so more an FYI if you're a light sleeper. (Won't put us off going back)

Likte ikke Dislikes: -

Likte Didn’t stay there in the end

Likte ikke This was a bit of an unfortunate encounter. We booked on the pith up site mid afternoon to stay here that night. Put Old Dairy Farm into Google maps which took us to Old Dairy Farm Camping and Caravanning an hour away. Messaged these guys to let them know our mistake and could we cancel and refund rather than back track an hour especially as we’d only booked a few hours before. No go. But that wasn’t the worst. When I went back with a shrugged shoulder response and said I should warn others on the review (about getting the address right) Keon lost his sh*t. Rudest reply ever. Clearly was having a bad day. Well Keon, I would encourage people to drive an hour further up the road to a lovely little place called Old Dairy Farm Camping and Caravanning who were super kind and helpful and went out their way to accommodate us even though we didn’t have a booking with them. Travelling is stressful and tiring and when you are in a different country to your own, a lot to understand, especially when there are multiple camp grounds with an almost identical name. We have had a wonderful experience with everyone we have encountered since we’ve been in the UK with the exception only of this guy. Customer service not his strong suit.

Likte Very friendly owners, nice and clean bath facilities, loved to wake up with the goats

I was there when it was rarely booked and only for one short night, so I can't give a full review.
