Thorpe Farm Centre

Tyckte om Were to start.. the staff were all lovely especially the young guy in shop. The restaurant was clean shop was clean and stocked . The toilets were spotless warm and inviting. Loved the antique store were we met Molly the dog. Shop worker was lovely she was great with my younger son who loves collecting old money. The garden centre had a great range of flowers at reasonable price. The farm animals were so cute you could walk up and see them at any time. They were very friendly. The pigs were great one rolled over to scratch his belly. The wee billy goats were so cute they all came running up to see us. We were placed on grass part next to the road. I had read the reviews before hand regarding the noise but it didn't bother us at all. There were wee rabbits and ducks everywhere just going about there own business. It was great to see. All in all my husband my nine year old and I loved this place and will certainly be back.

Tyckte inte om U have to buy electric card I got ten pounds on it I only used £1.85 I couldn't get a refund as I had to leave early and the shop doesn't open till nine. The barrier on way out needs a code and I lost it I had to find another camper awake to get code usually it's only inwards u need code.the restaurant bit dear especially for a cake and coffee

Easy to get to

Tyckte om The facilities are very clean and well looked after.
Lovely campsite for kids as have kids play park and a lot of animals, kids loved the farm area.
There is a softplay but we never needed to use this.
Showers and toilets were well maintenanced which is key for camping.

Tyckte inte om This isn’t about the campsite but something to bear in mind it is beside a busy road so the traffic noise can be heard. So if you are wanting peaceful the road noise did prevent us from having a good sleep. We had to go and buy sound proof headphones for sleeping. Like I say this isn’t the camp site fault but something to bear in mind.

Från föreståndaren: Thank you for your kind review. We're so pleased to hear you found the facilities clean and well maintained, and that your children enjoyed the play park and farm area. It's great to know the site worked well for your family.
