Lightfoot's Farm

Polubione Such a gorgeous campsite, we loved the way the pitches were mown but the rest of the field was left for the wildlife. Amazing kitchen facilities and fire pits and the hot tub was great! We will definitely be back!

Polubione Having a kitchen was fantastic! So well equipped, with lots of thought clearly having gone in to what things people might need. It really did feel like glamping to be able to use a kettle, toaster and fridge, and eat meals at a proper table and chairs!

Our toddler also loved the pigs, especially saying night night to them! The natural 'playground' at the back of the site was a really nice touch, too. There are horses along the footpath across the road from the site - toddler was very excited to see 'big cows' ('they're horses' 'yes, horse. Big cow!') and the path is nice for a stroll. There's a map showing the route to walk to the local pub, it looked like maybe a 30 minute walk.

Lots of sinks with drinking water around the site made it easy to wash hands and get a drink near the pitch, which saved time.

We travelled on public transport to the site, and were delighted to find that the bus stop is literally at the entrance. Very easy and a good base for exploring if you don't have a car! The kitchen also makes it more manageable as you don't need to bring any cooking things (though I didn't spot plates or bowls). Tesco delivers to the site, along with multiple local takeaways, so you don't need to bring food either.

Niepolubione The compost loos are 'short-drop' so you are very close to other people's poo. Clean and well kept, but much more of an in-your-face compost experience than other campsites we have used!

Polubione We felt as if we had the whole campsite to ourselves. There were four young children in our group who all enjoyed the freedom to play and explore! The facilities were excellent and very generous. Would strongly recommend.

Od administratora: Thanks, we try to keep things pretty gentle so that the natural environment has its space and people can connect with that... Really pleased it worked well for you, Pete

Polubione I loved how close to nature it felt while enjoying facilities that made camping so much more enjoyable. From the website listing I was expecting wild camping and what we got was glamping! Friendly people, beautiful setting, quiet and peaceful. We just loved it.

The hot tub made the experience brilliant.

Niepolubione Tiny tiny little improvements could be made, like providing more compost for the loo (a larger bin or refilled daily), or the shower curtain being inside the shower tray rather than dripping onto the floor, and providing a peeler in the kitchen. But these aren't dislikes. It is perfectly adequate as it is.

One thing that we do think was lacking was a regular safety inspection of the paths to fill in animal holes. The path leading from car park to kitchen has an ankle breaker on it.

We were there with only one other family on site, so the kitchen and loos were the perfect size. However, if all 11 pitches were occupied, there wouldn't be enough parking, loos, or fridge space in my opinion.

Od administratora: Glad you loved it, we defiantly want it to feel like you're in a comfortable, but wild space too. We only allow up to max 6 pitches, but as you found, usually we keep it quieter than that - so as you found, facilities are usually much more than needed. Great to have you here, Pete

Polubione The campsite is perfect for grounding, and re-connecting to nature.

The hosts have made great efforts to rewild the space with meadows, nut trees and ‘elephants foot’ - a new flower for me that I’d not seen before! It offers an amazing aroma and is pleasing to the eye and its edible!

The site offers an array of comforting sights and sounds to make the stay peaceful and relaxing.

The hosts are happy to share knowledge about harvesting MicroGreens (sold fresh on site) & gave insight into agroecology whilst respecting distance, to allow the camper to sit and ponder! Win-win.

There are pigs! Gorgeous, curious and well kept pigs. The hosts son taught me their feeding habits and was really pleasant.

The convenience’s are outstanding, and eco friendly! The kitchen space is very functional and well kept.

There’s a marque/ Glamping space that looked amazing whilst maintaining the tranquility of nature.

Niepolubione Everything was perfect, thank you Lightfoot Farm x

I can’t rate the WiFi as I never logged onto it. I didn’t want the internet during my stay. Hence the neutral rating of 5

Od administratora: Hi Jess, really glad it you were able to stop here and enjoy our space, Pete

Polubione We loved the beautiful long meadow grass, which gave the campsite a lovely vibe. The owner was very friendly and kitchen facilities were excellent.

Polubione Absolutely gorgeous site - loved the wildflower meadow vibe, the cleanest loveliest compost loos I've ever seen, great kitchen facilities, great showers, and the most beautiful souls running the place ❤️ So friendly and welcoming while also respecting my space, I felt right at home and wished I could stay longer! Didn't use the hot tubs but would have if I'd had more time there, they looked lush. Gave me great recommendations on where to go hiking in New Forest, absolutely spot-on. Very quiet & peaceful surroundings. Will definitely be back xxx ps I didn't attempt to use WiFi so can't give a rating for that bit. Also didn't take a child so don't know about child friendliness but they strike me as the sort of people who are everyone-friendly so I'm giving it 10/10)

Polubione I booked last minute for just one night and ended up staying for a week! The farm is so peaceful and reconnects you with nature! The facilities and fabulous with clean compost toilets and lovely hot outdoor showers. I didn't use the hot tub but they looked wonderful. The market kitchen has everything you need to make your meals and a lovely place to sit and take in the farms beautiful energy. Pete's microgreens are delicious and became a staple addition to every meal I made! Thank you light foots farm for a relaxing nature reset. I shall return! ☺️
