The Hop Farm

Likte love how spacious the campsite is there is shop onsite which was so helpful for ice in this heat! . You can literally find your own spot away from everyone and at times your own field !. The phone service is very much touch and go in all fields, but you should be one with nature and not glued to that phone anyway !🤣everyone minds their own business a very chilled atmosphere. There was a bin in our field which was very helpful although, despite this there was still the odd one who left there rubbish on the campsite.
Learned the hard way this is insect biting paradise so ensure you have that bug repellent and you will be all good, came back 2nd time no bites !!! .
When we were leaving there was a food truck being set up, so definitely going to try that next time ! 😀.

Likte ikke This was our second time staying here, so we already had a good idea of the campsite. One suggestion would be to add signs at the entrance and exit of each field showing the field name or number. Although you receive a map on arrival, it can be difficult for first-time visitors to work out which field they’re in, as the entrances and exits are set within the bushes, making it difficult to match your location with the map.

Likte For the space and the freedom my children had i would recommend to friends .
Apart from lovely walking areas it didnt have much, but the pub was lovely and the walks down the canel my children liked the lock

Likte ikke Id recommend to friends without children due to Poor management,
Where do I begin?
Firstly, we got pitched on an ant's nest, and we had an infestation of ants all over and inside the tent, to the point I was bitten. I went to the office and got told they would send maintenance; they never did, so we moved our tent.
Secondly,
Our neighbors were lovely, unfortunately, there was an incident with their 14-year-old daughter where we went to the toilet and she was approached by a man trying to chat her up and follow her into the toilet. The family rang the manager, and she came to the pitch and told the family that her daughter should not have gone to the toilet on her own, bearing in mind the toilet was a 30-second walk away. The following day, I told the cleaner, who told me a few days before the same man was in the female showers trying to watch women shower. Again, she told the manager, but nothing was done.
Surely, as a manager, you have a duty of care to make sure all customers feel safe.

Likte Fully serviced, large pitches.
Toilet & shower block was clean whenever I used it.

Likte ikke Shower cubicles very small. Only one hook & everything gets wet.
Didn't see a shop, bar or restaurant as advertised on the site.
Sadly blue/green algae prevented use of the river, one of my main reasons for booking 😥

Likte I loved how you could just find a spot and set up camp. I was able to take my dogs, and have just a quiet and relaxed evening.

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to leave a review.
Due to the very hot weather and the grass being like straw we have banned fires and barbeques except for gas barbeques and disposable barbeques raised off the ground as these go out after just over an hour, we still ask that water is kept next to them and not left unattended. This is for everyone's safety as fires spread quickly without warning and on a campsite this would be a disaster. The ban will remain in place until we get enough rain to make it safe again.
There may be other campsites in the area that allow fires for you to go to if this is important during very hot weather with evening and night temperatures still over 20 degrees.
We look forward to seeing you next year, hopefully the summer will not be as extreme as this one.

Likte Large amount of space, areas clean and friendly

Likte We loved it at Hop farm, it is basic but the toilets and showers are kept clean. On the whole was a good experience.

Likte ikke That there wasn’t an onsite shop for the basics at least.

Likte Shower and bathroom Facilities were adequate and close by.

Likte ikke We felt hemmed in, other campers were too close. Given the size it would have been much better to give more space. Some of the advertised facilities were not there or been abandoned years ago.
The river could only be accessed by driving, it is inconceivable to walk kayak that distance from the elec pitch to the river.

Fra bestyreren: You were given a 4 pitch area to yourself which left 3 empty pitches next to you.
I am not sure where you saw facilities as the ones advertised on Pitch-up are correct and on The Hop Farm Website there is nothing advertised apart from the car boots.
You can either walk or drive to the river, some guests on the electric pitches choose to walk others to drive. Many guests prefer to stay in the fields and have power packs or foldable solar panels as there is much more space.
