Hendre Farmhouse Orchard Campsite

Gostou Great quiet campsite with shower, toilets, sinks, fridge/freezer, parking, microwave and kettle!
Really friendly and considerate staff also!

Gostou Fridge and freezer, toaster and kettle available for use, lovely location on a quiet and relaxing site

Gostou Recycling, clean, 10,000s of tiny frogs (in some places)

Não gostou Rubbish left in firepits

Do gerente: Thank you for your review, we're so glad you enjoyed the site and all the baby frogs! Regarding the firepit, there of course should not have been rubbish in there at any point and I'm very sorry the camper before you left it that way. They are of course not bins (and you know how many actual bins we have all around the site!), and we trust people with them and to use them respectfully so this is very disappointing to us. I hope it did not spoil things too much for you. In future if this happens again please let someone at reception know so we can deal with it at the time.

Gostou This is the first time we have camped not for a festival so I really appreciated the hot water and sinks for dishes! There was a kettle and microwave but we used brought out own things for hot drinks but a great option. We had loads of space and it was such a quiet scenic campsite! There was a little park too which was nice for my youngest. The firepit and picnic table was great too meaning we didn’t have to take ours!

Gostou Beautiful site with excellent facilities and walking nearby

Não gostou Only one shower available and always seemed to have a clogged drain

Do gerente: Thank you so much for your review, we're happy you enjoyed your stay with us. We have 3 showers on site, I'm sorry that you missed this! I have taken note of this and will make sure we do our best to make the rooms more obvious for everyone, we really appreciate the feedback.

Gostou The views were stunning. The location was well kept and scenic.

Não gostou The receptionist was unpleasant. Sticking bold red notices telling not to inplug microwave and kettle. The showers were dirty above eyelevel cobwebs and dead insects the same at least levels. The microwave was dirty and unhygienic. The facilities had a feeling of being made with secondhand materials and old skips. the 4 days we were there no cleaning was undertaken .

Do gerente: Before I address this person directly I'm going to say here for anyone reading this that the reviews directly before this overlapped with this person's stay- this is the only negative review.

How 'the female' who you only spoke to once upon checking in and had a pleasant interaction with ruined your trip I don't know... this seems incredibly strange an accusation, and despite the fact that you suddenly became rude to said staff member she remained polite, smiled and said good morning regardless. Any signs put up on site are put there by the owner-perhaps the sign that simply says 'do not unplug, thank you' was put there because you unplugged the fridge that belongs to the campsite which alerted us that a reminder to not unplug it may be necessary.

Cleaning is undertaken several times a day, as you can see in the surrounding reviews the people who stayed on site along with yourself recognised this. We do get cobwebs yes, because it is an outside shelter. You were off site all day each day you were here and came back to clean toilets, surfaces, floors and emptied bins so of course cleaning was undertaken. The microwave is cleaned daily, if you or a fellow camper did not wipe it down after it was used that is not the fault of the cleaning staff.

Gostou Great campsite, we were lucky and only had a few other campers there at the same time as us which meant we had lots of space. The fire pits and picnic benches are great as are the toaster, kettle, microwave and fridge. The toilets / shower are basic but that’s to be expected with the price of the pitch. If you want a site where you can listen to the birds and enjoy countryside views then this is perfect for you.

Gostou Friendly staff, clean ablutions. Clean camp site

Não gostou Absolutely nothing.

Gostou Lovely welcome from the campsite manager when we arrived. We were lucky to have a choice of several pitches, had a fire pit and a picnic table as most did. The large pond in the middle of the field (fenced) gave the site a lovely feel and focal point. Very peaceful place. We walked both directions of the Offa’s Dyke path over the weekend and it was lovely to leave the van where it was and explore on foot. Would recommend!

Não gostou Four toilets in total - perhaps when the site was full it might not feel enough but we never had to wait / queue. Facilities were spotless.

Gostou The quietness and the openness of the camping area especially with a fire pit that comes with your pitch.

Não gostou The personal amenities could do with an update.
