Likte Amazing little place! We live locally and did not even know this place was here. Booked on a whim as I fancied taking my little nephew on his first camping locally with the nice weather, and was so surprised with Farway… lovely little park as well as a great additional rustic haybale slide, trampolines and rope swing play areas outside the shop. They also had a live music event and a bouncy castle while we were staying so this was great in the evening. The farm animals were wonderful to visit and feed. The views were incredible on the lovely sunny weekend- especially at sunset with the live band and the bar on this weekend. The food was great, and all really reasonably priced. We had planned to venture to local pubs and beaches, but didn’t leave the campsite all weekend. The children loved that they could borrow the bikes from the playbarn - so wholesome seeing all the children having fun outdoors on bikes and scooters each day. The woodland walks through fields and meadows were wonderful too. The shower blocks were lovely and really well maintained- no cobwebs or spiders- which is impressive considering the showers and toilets are in a barn. And having proper showers with the sink and toilet in your cubical too was great. Really relaxed, wholesome family site. We will definitely be booking again during nice weather.

Likte ikke More variety in terms of food options in the shop or the pop up cafe. No food at lunch time, and no items to make lunches such as fruit, meats, sandwich things etc… if you are staying on a pitch with no electricity for a fridge, you will need to drive to either honiton or seaton to the nearest local shops. But this is only around a 15-20 min drive so not too much of an issue- we had planned to venture to local restaurants while staying here, but didn’t leave the park as the weather was beautiful and the children were having so much fun.

Likte We loved the on site cafe/bar. The tent pitches are really spacious which is always a bonus. We loved that the site allowed camp fires. Plenty of showers and toilet facilities.

Likte ikke We did think the cost to hire the camp fire is quite steep for 24 hours. So lucky for us our friends brought theirs so we just had to buy the logs.

Likte ikke not so much disliked, but the 'Play Barn' could do with a bit of an update
Just a heads up, poor phone signal - not an issue for me, but very much so for my child

Likte The camping field, showers were good

Likte ikke Being in a row of seasonal campers, hardly any were there so it was like being in a caravan grave yard.

Likte Beautiful site if you want to be with nature. Great sized pitches.
Good showering facilities, little small with a closed in shower, sink and toilet but they have separate changing areas. Showers were hot and were only as clean and the people using them!
Lovely animals to visit and the weekend events put on are great for the kids if you want to join in.
Play barn has bikes for all aged children so if you’re not able to take your own you can use the sites. We took our own scooters but feel that the site wasn't suitable as paths were stoney or gravel.
Position of site is not fair from local supermarkets and Jurassic coast beaches.

Likte ikke There are only two sinks for washing up for the whole site, even though not a big site at prime times we were waiting. They also are outside with no cover so if weather is bad you will be getting wet!

The pitch we were on for camping was very winding and seems to be right in a wind tunnel on windy days. We did have two days where we came back to a lot of damage to some of our things. Pitch numbers 52 and 53.
Try and request the other end of the field if you can and around the edge as sheltered by bushes. But if you are in the middle of the field and along that line like we were make sure you position your tent facing into the field and not facing out to the path. This may help your tent or sent up to be a little more protected from the wind.
