Bovey's Down Farm

Gostou All of it

Gostou the,quietness of the site and the location plus accessability.gerald the owner was so obliging in assisting in opening our fridge door at 11 at night as my lady wife carelessly snapped the handle off.what a saviour managed to get to my chilled beer.amenities were adequate given the size of the site

Não gostou being a little critical the waste disposable compound could do with re thinking,emptied more regulary and clear signs on recepticals to segregate recycling items.was a bit close to our pitch near the entrance

Gostou The relaxed atmosphere of the site and the friendly owners. The food was delicious too. If you need a bit if downtime in a beautiful setting I would recommend a visit to Bovey Farm.

Não gostou Nothing

Gostou Clean, straightforward, quiet site.

Gostou The Surroundings were lovely, food in restaurant was good home cooked food and delicious. Friendly hosts.

Não gostou Toilets and showers!! Due to our shower not working, had to use the onsite facilities. Shared loos male/female, I personally hate and they were grubby! Shower wasn’t much better and full of spiders!!! Aargh!!!

Do gerente: Good afternoon.
Thank- you for your review. including enjoying the restaurant and surroundings.
We are sorry if you found the toilet & shower block not to your liking, we do take cleanliness seriously & it is cleaned everyday. With constant lighting and doors left open it is an attraction for insects. I feel you may not have found all the facilities as we do have separate male / female toilets and also a family room includes a toilet, shower and baby changing station.

Do gerente: Thank you for your comments.
We apologise that your stay did not meet your expectations on this occasion. We aim to give our guests a positive and enjoyable experience and take all feed back seriously as we work hard to make improvements where necessary.

Gostou The pitches are large and the scenery is beautiful. Toilets and showers are clean , plentiful and modern. There are also a couple of fridges , a washing machine and a charging station. We only stayed for a weekend but were grateful for the charging station! There are also plugs in some of the toilet cubicles for a hairdryer. We had a good breakfast at the cafe Sunday morning.

Não gostou The road is VERY noisy if you are right beside it. The cars carried on all night and I barely slept the first night. The second night was better with ear plugs. However, most of the pitches aren’t beside the road. Not sure why we were put there, because there were other quieter pitches available. Request a pitch away from the road. The ground is really stoney so it was difficult to pitch the tent. Also, be aware that the menu in the restaurant is really limited- pie, sausages, scampi, veggie option.

Do gerente: Hello & thank you for your review. So pleased you enjoyed the views and breakfast, plus all the favourable things you mentioned.
I must just comment on why that was the pitch selected for you. It was because there was the only 'non' electric pitch available, which was your preference, all others were with electric hook ups which put you nearer a small B road when the sun shines in this gloriously dry time more tourists are out and about ( also the ground is rock solid at the moment for tent pegs)..

The restaurant menu had to be hastily changed and rewritten & reduced at the last minute on Friday as we had
staff issues but with tasty home made Angus burgers , steak and Otter ale pie, plus the other bits you mentioned we got through..
We hope to see you back again one day.

Gostou Lovely setting with a super view, clean amenities, welcoming owners. Lots of fresh water taps. Plenty of room for kids to play.

Não gostou Sloping ground - but you can’t have a view without a hill 😉
