Millers Rest Campsite

Gostou Ideal location for our needs.

Não gostou Dirty basic facilities with swarms of flies across the site. No obvious location for grey waste water.

Gostou Warm friendly atmosphere fire pits on site for guests to use.

Não gostou No where near to get fire wood from. Showers could be cleaned more regularly but otherwise they do the job. Was a busy weekend so expected.

Gostou We really enjoyed our stay, the man was very friendly and accommodating.
The shower blocks were clean and there were good washing facilities for the dirty dishes!
We were apart of a large group and felt very comfortable and settled during our stay.
It was our first time camping as a family and we really enjoyed ourselves.
One thing I will say is maybe get a play park or outdoor splash area for kids when it’s hot to try keep them entertained and cool.
We actually made our own slip and slide and it was awesome! ☺️

Gostou Really great location. The man who ran the site was super friendly and helpful and it was so nice to be somewhere not too rowdy but where everyone still had fun

Não gostou The showers were awful. While I saw staff cleaning them throughly, by the time I had a shower it was disgusting

Gostou Space for children to play, could use fire pits. Bathroom facilities clean. Friendly site.

Não gostou Unlevel field, only one shower (unless using family shower, code needed) muck spreading one morning, terrible smell, obscene amount of flies everywhere, noisey site with loads of crows, cockerels..

Gostou The owner was very friendly, helpful and had our best intentions in mind. The camp site was idealistic, clean and quant.

Gostou What a lovely little site! We booked a week’s stay and have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
• Very warm and welcoming hosts who go really do go above and beyond
• Stonebaked authentic pizza on Friday evenings was a great touch and nice that there is a dedicated seating area to be served them
• Large pitch sizes (we had 8 man tent, porch awning, gazebo and car all on the pitch with ample space)
• Big area for the kids to play. We brought along an Airtrax mat and Inflatable Roller that became the hub for all the kids on site to play so it was brilliant for them
• Great dishwashing area with 2 sinks
• Toilet block and shower in great location (I have seen a few comments regarding cleanliness of showers but I cannot fault them as they were immaculate after cleaning and as with any campsite, it is down to individuals to clean things after themselves as the owners cannot check after every use. I think the fly situation with the hot weather likely was the issue)
• a bonus for me was small rubbish bins that are emptied each day rather than the larger communal style wheeled bins that are emptied less regularly on most sites. I hate those wooden walk in bin sheds you have to brave and then try to lift the heavy lids to get your bags in. This was great and a more hygienic setup.
• Fire pit on site which we borrowed for a couple of nights to toast marshmallows
• Pretty and rural location. Homemade ice cream shop and vineyard/cafe on the road opposite, Mellington Hall Hotel just 5 mins drive away with beautiful grounds and play area and some great friendly pubs nearby. We visited The Lion for a cold beer on the hottest day of the year and then continued further up to the river for some splashing and shade under the trees.
All in all a great all-round site and excellent value for money.

* little suggestions would be to maybe have something on site or a small dedicated area for the kids to group and meet up. We had loads of the kids over to our pitch from other tents which was great as we had lots of kids toys and gymnastics equipment and so it was lovely that they could all join in together. We previously stayed on a site that had a shed of old donated kids bikes and it was a genius idea to keep the kids entertained and wear them out ☺️

A fly/bug zapper in the toilet block, especially the shower room would be a good addition

Also maybe missing an opportunity by not selling firewood and marshmallows on site. We asked in the local shops for marshmallows and couldn’t find any so eventually ordered a marshmallow amazon delivery to site 😂

Não gostou The only thing letting it down this week was the flies. Assuming due to the rural location, still pond, dairy farm opposite and that fact we had come on the hottest week of the year, there was just no escape from them 🙈 on a positive though, my youngest daughter was previously terrified of flies but seems to have made peace with them after admitting defeat! It became our evening challenge to swat as many out of the tent bedrooms and zip them up before they could sneak back in.
All part of the fun 😂

Gostou Larges pitches, clean shower block with useful dish washing station.

Excellent for a one night stay.

Close to a cafe and a short drive to the local village with a large supermarket with a camping gear section.

I'd happily stay here again
