Lonely Farm

Понравилось: The site location was perfect for visiting the surrounding area. The area was very peaceful, we were a bit concerned about the possibility of noise from the caravan park but this didn't occur, maybe because it is early in the season. The use of a microwave and toaster was a nice touch, especially as we were in a tent with limited cooking facilities. Re the previous reviews, the boiler had now been fixed and the potholes in the drive filled! The Poacher's Pocket nearby serves amazing food and definitely worth a visit.

Не понравилось: The toilets and washrooms could have been cleaner. The soap dispenser in both the gents and ladies loo was empty for the week and there were no hand towels for much of the time. Whilst a mop was provided to clean the shower cubicles after use, it was dry with no water/cleaner in the mop bucket so you were basically wiping the floor with dirt from the previous use. There was leaking pipe work in the washrooms and laundry room. The outside bins by the washroom area were overflowing (with rubbish from the caravan site?) and it was disappointing that there was no facility to separate rubbish for recycling. We stayed for a week and during that time didn't see any staff for the campsite, either checking guests were okay or that all was well on site. I appreciate that during low season the facilities may not need to be cleaned daily but during the week we were staying we didn't see any staff checking the washrooms etc and if they did they failed to notice the empty soap dispensers! We dont mind a basic site, we have stayed at quite a few, but they have all been clean and hygenic. We are regular campers and used to being self sufficient. If this was our first experience of camping we would have been very disappointed. If the site is to continue as a camping/touring site it needs some tlc.

Не понравилось: Our pitch was flooded and so we had to go to a hard standing by the bins, which was used as a laundry depot for the main site. All the other pitches were also very boggy. No hand soap or paper towels in ladies or hairdryer point. All in very poor condition overall

Не понравилось: I’m sad to say that Lonely Farm has significantly deteriorated. We have been visiting for ten plus years. We stayed 5th April 2024 there were no staff to help with pitch allocation, there was no updated pitch allocation printout. The outbuildings appear to be used to store dirty laundry from Carlton Meres which is left out in view in basket trolleys not a pleasant sight. The large commercial bins are overflowing. There was no hot water as the boiler had broken down The wash rooms are grubby, the floors had not been cleaned. The toilets were the same. The entrance driveway is covered in deep potholes. It’s really sad to see what was a lovely friendly place to visit has been effectively abandoned. We booked two nights but stayed one.

Понравилось: Good location for getting out and about , would be lovely in the summer.

Не понравилось: We arrived late evening and had pitch 23 , was really disappointed. Called / texted Warden no answer. Pitch was next to four massive over flowing rubbish bins and a storage location. There was no hot water on site and no one to communicate with. Second day I managed to find a staff member in the storage location and we were told the boiler had been broken for days and we would have to go to the campsite next door to shower. This information was not provided before our arrival which was a shame. The campsite next door we had to drive to as the turning on the path was thick mud and we couldn’t get through. The facilities at lonely farm are very basic but were clean, but lots of leaking taps and blocked sinks. Maybe we arrived too early on this site , the field was swamped and it just didn’t seem ready for customer. Felt this little campsite could be so much more but think it’s the poor relation to Carlton Meres. Would we go back if passing, maybe but we’d check the pitch location was away from the storage facility and bins.

Не понравилось: Potholes everywhere leading up to the park itself. Pitches where boggy had to be towed of by the tractor when we were leaving A big factor there was no hot water for showers and dish wash area. We were told the day we were going home that we could use the pods to shower in on the adjourning holiday park. When we arrived there was nobody to greet us just a board with our name on and we're to go
