All the best,

Polubione Mw, my 12 year old son , my brother and his 3 year old shared a large Yurt for three nights. My sister and her family camped right by us and my other brother and his family stayed in the Yurt next to us.

I liked:
The beautiful setting.
That David (owner) was super relaxed and helpful and had no issue with us (family) all being near each other.
The yurts were spacious and kitted out with lots of essentials including a stove and extra gas.
That fridge's and freezers were available to use for water, beers, butter etc. In the same room were plugs for charging phones.
That we saw deer running past the yurts.
Cute local pub, and river for fishing and swimming near by as well as town being an east 20 min walk away.
Eco loos were preferable to porta loos.

Niepolubione Was all good.

Polubione We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Farrs Meadow having had one of our most enjoyable camping trips.
The site was peaceful, beautiful and just what we were hoping for.

The Vine Inn is a short stroll away, as is the river Stour, both of which we enjoyed.

With staff that were welcoming and helpful, and a site that was full of charm and character, we are keen to return soon.

Polubione Peaceful convenient setting, easy walk to Wimborne via the river and nice walks to the Vine pub (cash only ) and ice cream farm . Hosts were helpful and informative and went out of their way to accommodate.

Niepolubione Bit better signage would help things, sign at the road is almost illegible and not clear whether you are going up someone’s private drive or into the campsite. Facilities are quirky but basic , think it depends on expectations. Hard to evaluate as the charm and basic nature for some would be a challenge for others

Od administratora: Thank you very much for your comments and pleased that you sort of enjoyed your weekend! Sorry that the driveway proved difficult for you. Regarding the signage, I try to keep the campsite a bit of a “secret” but I fully take your point onboard.
It was lovely meeting you both and I hope you have a lovely summer.

Polubione Views from our pitch and it's location. Easily walkable along the river to Wimborne. ( a very pretty & charming town) and close to the river bank on the Stour to walk and paddle with the dog then call into the nearby Vine pub on the way back for a decent pint in picturesque beer garden

Niepolubione The facilities are substandard for this price point (4☆ prices for very basic amenities)
Toilets were particularly grimm long-drop compost toilets in rusty old horseboxes with no paper, water or lighting. Eco, but not pleasant to use.
Showers were similar and only worked sporadically, cattle troughs for washing up were a cute touch but wholly impractical with no drainboard area or hot water.

Od administratora: Stuart thank you for your review and I shall try to take any action I can to make the experience better the next people.
I am encouraged that you say you would come again. I’m sure the beautiful field and views that you had all to yourself weren’t too bad. I’m sorry the loos and showers disappointed you but a positive is they are clean and do not smell.
You gave me a very low score for my accommodation which you can’t of intended as you were in your own accommodation.
I really do hope you will come again, it was great to meet you and I’m very pleased you enjoyed what Wimborne has to offer.
Obviously this time I made an exception for you staying with your VW but next time you would have to bring a tent!
All the best,
David

Polubione Lovely place.

Polubione Lovely peaceful location and the kids were able to range around freely because there are no cars on site. The host was lovely and took all belongings to the site for us.

The kids enjoyed the rope swing and climbing trees.

Easy walk to a nice farm shop for ice cream and also to the river. We had fun swimming and paddle boarding.

Showers were hot.

Niepolubione I would have liked a light in the toilets.

Please come again.

Polubione Solitude. 20 minute walk into Wimborne.

Niepolubione Difficulty getting from car to camp site and back - muddy track (although grateful for the lift up to camping area with my stuff). The compost loos were really hard to find - had to ask other campers as they aren't obvious. Water supply was from a hose by the car park, not a tap, so hard to control and had to lug water up hill - path not fit for a trolley. Place generally feels a bit run down and ramshackle. Seemed a bit pricey given the lack of facilities.

Polubione Really beautiful spot on the edge of Wimborne. David was really accommodating with us arriving a little early to get to our friends wedding that we were attending near by, and was happy to drive our stuff up to the camping field (the last bit from the parking is pretty steep!) and seemed like an all round nice guy.

Niepolubione No complaints!
