Понравилось: Quirky site. Field and woodland. Friendly managers. Basic rustic shower with a camping loo, a compost loo and standard .portaloo.
Good location for Winchester and Marwell Zoo. Lots of woodland birds. Fields surrounding with horses Mini hairy pigs goats and a couple of rabbits and a chicken coop.

Не понравилось: Not well signposted where camp entrance was. 4 sets of gates to open and close each time you want to go out of camp with your car. Understand to keep animals safe but they weren't in the bit where some gates were.
Am used to rustic camping but water points were always well marked.
No idea where the water tap was..luckily there was another camper who told me. It was a walk through the woods and not in the field. Compost loo soon filled up and was unusable. The seat was very high and bare wood scratched my arse!
Was disappointed there was no bushcraft sessions.
It's a shame because it's a nice site..at least 1 camper said they wouldn't return due to fed up no signage where water was..too far away..only 1 tap that seemed to also supply the 1 shower when it worked. In 5 days I never got to use it due to either not working or someone in it. That also meant couldn't use the nicest loo as it was in the same stall.

I think most problems could be solved with good signage.. doesn't need to be huge..little wooden ones etc.. a way to water..a sign saying the big fire pit and shack kitchen area was communal. Most people stayed away as thought it belonged to the nearby shepherd hut.
There's nothing majorly bad about this place..theyc3 worked hard to build it up so far.. but the lots of little niggles added up.

Понравилось: Peaceful surroundings right in the middle of woodland. All the wildflowers. Hot tub which was setup for us. How cosy and romantic the Shepherds hut was with bedding, gas heater blankets, torch and candles. The outdoor kitchen was equipped with tea/coffee/milk and a kettle/stove with gas. Very close drop toilets which were clean and had toilet paper. We did the Shawford Down loop walk which was so varied and exactly what we were looking for then we treated ourselves to a great meal at Fisher’s Pond pub a couple of minutes drive away. Heard owls at night and woken with the bird chorus with woodpeckers. It was exactly what we were looking for to have a break.

Не понравилось: It was a little tricky to contact when I first made the booking months ago but they were really available just before and for the duration of our stay with staff on site checking we were ok.

Понравилось: Very chilled and tucked away site on a farm. The field was large enough that we weren’t too close to other tents.

Mark who was the site manager for our weekend was super helpful and friendly

Понравилось: Massive secure interesting camping site, with mini forest with loads of natural seating and fire pits.

Took my dog Purdie, many great walks just outside the site, you can walk for miles and we did.

My Kes hut remined me of my shed but on sticks, off grid perfect if you want peace and cook food on the fire pit.

Large open plan kitchen area in the grounds, has everything you need to make a decent meal.

Не понравилось: Nothing and I have been to many places last year to compare.

Понравилось: Me and my partner loved staying here in the Kez’s Shepherds Hut it gave us an idea of what living in the wilderness would be like and brought us closer to nature as we live in a town with minimal woodland around us. My dog Halo absolutely loved the freedom, she came face to face with a horse for the first time and they touched noses, her reaction was priceless and will remain with me for the rest of my life. We are planning on coming back in the summer with the kids and we cannot wait to experience this with them. The owners are really helpful and friendly I would recommend to anybody and everybody I know about this place. 5*
