Do gestor: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. As a working farm we are unable to provide a dog walking area. Grass and other crops grown on our land are all for the production of livestock feed and as such we cannot risk contamination via dog waste which can be fatal to bovines. We are always happy to advise on popular dog walking routes.

Gostou The site itself was in a good location, and we did enjoy the village walk and access to the No 58 bus.

Não gostou We arrived at the site on 1st July, as booked, to find that our designated pitch was effectively all hard standing. We had booked via Pitchup and thought that it had been made clear that our 'small camper van plus awning' required a grass pitch for the awning. As a consequence erecting the awning took at least an extra hour, on a hot day, hammering in rock pegs. There were evidently no single other pitches available for the duration of our 4 day stay.
We have frequently stayed on farm sites and thought we knew what to expect. The smell from the adjacent farmyard in the heat was unbearable during our stay, and we were plagued by flies, which we felt was no coincidence.
Given the £31 per night fee, we felt that the 4 WC's and 4 showers provided may not be sufficient when the site was full. The facilities themselves were adequate but starting to show their age. The hard standing areas themselves were not well maintained, giving the whole site a slightly run-down feel.
The result amounted to us not having the relaxing break we had planned and we ended up leaving a day early.

Do gestor: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay. We allocate pitches as booked, a guest booking a hard standing pitch with a small grass area will receive that. It is important to book appropriately for your needs. We cannot apologise for what is advertised as a working farm having the aroma of one. Flies are a nuisance during hot spells and not necessarily connected to farm activity.
We have sufficient facilities for our site size. Whilst not aesthetically pleasing updating would involve considerable expense which would inevitably involve a price increase and the function offered would be the same so not something we are planning at this time. The facilities are kept clean and well maintained. The hardstanding areas do receive attention when unoccupied.

Gostou Excellent pitches, quiet site, working farm

Gostou Good sized pitch with own water tap and close electric point. Cut grass and clean hard standing gravel.
Really good showers with masses of hot water.
Warm welcome.
Toilets with loo paper!

Não gostou Nothing really.
The shower and toilet floors were cleaned but could do with a deep clean scrub to get the ridged floor tiles to look better. Corners in the toilets and shower rooms had the same build up of dusty dirt each day we were there so clearly needed a thorough clean.

Do gestor: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased that you plan to visit again. Our facilities are cleaned well daily . It is not possible to do a "spring clean" daily of the areas you have highlighted as this takes considerable time and guests are constantly requesting access. We do however undertake these tasks during quieter periods.

Gostou Well kept, clean facilities, quiet, all dogs well behaved & controlled.
Friendly greeting on arrival-
Proximity to village pub.
Tall hedges to back up to. Electricity & tap water on each pitch

Não gostou I would have preferred a privacy hedge between vehicles BUT everyone kept to themselves and were friendly.

Do gestor: Thank you for your review we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Our site pitches are quite spacious compared to most, however , should you visit again perhaps request a corner pitch and we will try our best to help.

Gostou This is a lovely small and quiet site with well spaced pitches that offer some privacy. The site is clean and away from main roads. The facilities are small but clean with nice big shower units.
It is on a working farm so you do hear and smell the farm, but I think it adds to the charm.

We are repeat visitors and will be returning again soon.

Gostou Wonderful site in an excellent location. Large pitches. Although site was full no issue for using toilets and showers. Plenty of hot water. Very quiet, just perfect

Não gostou Overflowing recycling bins.
WiFi hit or miss.

Do gestor: Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We have a regular collection of recycling at quite some expense ,but at busy times our collection capacity can become overwhelmed at which point we do try to tidy the area. The wifi we offer is basic but we make no additional charge for this service.
