Fair Acre Touring Site

Polubione: This is a lovely secluded spot with nicely proportioned pitches. The tiolet/shower is basic but functional. There was good communication with the owner who was very helpful when we had a problem and had to abandon our stay.

Niepolubione: The ground beyond the entrance was too soft for vehicles beyond the entrance and we were quickly bogged in to our axle on the front wheels. It took 40 minutes to get out with the use of mud mats and a shovel. A fellow camper also assisted (parked on the only hard standing by the entrance). It wasn't much fun being covered in mud after a long journry and with night fast approaching. The owner doesn't live locally and was unaware that the recent rains had made the ground so soft. I recommend that if you use this site you thoroughly reconnoitre it to ensure the ground is firm enought to drive on before driving in.

Od administratora: You were fully refunded in exceptionally wet conditions. We have taken on board the issue of getting stuck in the entrance with 15 ton of shingles now laid so hopefully this problem won’t occur again.

Polubione: Beautiful seculded site with electric access throughout.

Niepolubione: Poorly maintained access road: Another couple's vehicle became stuck in the mud. Sub-standard ablutions: Single room with shower and toilet. At least the water was nice and hot.

Od administratora: It’s a field location and you came in exceptionally wet conditions. We have taken note to extend the gravel into the field. The toilet is as described basic but perfectly functional, we feel we offer good value !!

Polubione: No one else there, so very nice for our family

Niepolubione: Shower block could do with an upgrade

Polubione: Lovely, secluded spot.....it's even prettier than photos suggest. Site is unmanned but communication was spot on, giving all key info/access codes etc well in advance and responding straight away to my questions. Site was quite water logged after days of incessant rain and we liked that we were offered the alternative of a hard standing pitch or a refund.....and on arrival at site we liked seeing that measures were being taken to deal with water logging issues for access to site.

Niepolubione: Having to open key safe every time me or one of my kids needed the bathroom but guessing bad experience has made it prudent to keep (clean and very well appointed given 'basic facility' listing) toilets locked.

Od administratora: Many thanks for your kind words. I apologise for the weather but today’s the first day of summer so here’s hoping! 🌞

Polubione: The location

Niepolubione: It is just a field a motorhome was stuck in the mud just inside the gate and there is only 1 toilet and shower and it is outside the site

Od administratora: I think you got very upset with exceptionally wet weather which was unfortunate!! We have already made plans to improve the entrance but yes we are a simple field location and we have made the description clear!

Polubione: Lovely garden type site.....really picturesque, and the owners were very helpful, even sending information re. places to visit and things to do in the area. We arrived and pitched up under a tree, plugged in to the electric point and it felt like we were really getting away from it all and it was so lovely to be surrounded by beautiful birdsong! When arriving there is self-check in via secure coded locked gate and there was a shower, toilet, washing machine and other facilities in a secure block, again accessed via secure code lock. After entering through the gate there is the shower/toilet facilities block followed by a gravelled area on the right with facilities such as water, waste drain, and recycling/waste bins and then further into the site are the pitches. Wifi was available but limited to the area down by the shower/toilet facilities but we did not find this to be a problem.

Niepolubione: Didn't dislike anything..... as mentioned, it was a lovely garden type setting. It did rain on the second day and when we were leaving so as the pitches were all grass, in terms of very wet weather, this may need to be considered when booking.

Polubione: Glorious haven of peace and wildlife. Huge, secluded pitches with no disturbances from anyone! Dogs loved it too! Accurate description of facilities, which were perfectly adequate and better than many of a similar price! Owners were very quick to respond to the few questions we had.

Niepolubione: Elsan disposal facilities!

Polubione: Close to home as it’s nice just to get away, but knowing home is just a few minutes drive. Decent sizes pitches.

Niepolubione: I fully appreciate that this is a no frills campsite however it would have been nice to be greeted by hosts. A little explanation of facilities would have been appreciated as we were new to the site. We didn’t know if there was grey waste or fresh water, I had to keep texting the host. When we did find everything it was all overgrown with stinging nettles & nothing was signed posted. I got a message it was near the big tyres, but there were several sets of tyres!! & it was set back under stinging nettles. We ventured to find the shower it was not welcoming it was in the corner of a storage room, with the toilet the other side. Both were dirty & not cleaned. All the dislikes makes me very sad as this could be an amazing site!

Od administratora: Very disappointing that you didn’t enjoy our peaceful site more, however you do need to check terms and conditions. We are a self check in site with contact by mobile, hence no meet and greet as you are informed. We describe a meadow site and there are weeds and wildlife but I think you missed the grey water drain in the driveway! There are water taps as required and labelled. The toilet is communal and in a stable block, described as rudimentary so as to not mislead. It cannot be checked throughout the day as we do not live on site but cleaners are available as per description. We offer good value with all extras inclusive and find this review inaccurate and very unsympathetic.
