Longleys Farm Campsite

Tyckte om Nice and quiet campsite, clean facilities, lots of space for pitching tent.

Tyckte inte om Slightly sloped pitch.

Tyckte om (1) Lovely views of the countryside.
(2) Good toilet facilities and washing up area. There was hot water.
(3) Easy access to the town.

Tyckte inte om (1) We were given no warning that there was a wedding being held on another part of the property. While campers are not allowed to play music and need to remain quiet from 10pm-7am, the wedding party was blasting music from 10pm-2am. This prevented us from sleeping. We would not have booked this campsite if we had known there would be such a disruption.
(2) We had no interactions with the owners and the office phone went to voicemail when I called during the day.
(3) The road into the campsite is in desperate need of repair. There are huge potholes that made me fear for the wellbeing of the car.

Tyckte om The toilets and showers were quite clean

Tyckte inte om The grass that's been cut, left over on the field, getting up your ankles especially in the morning when it's wet.
No toilet paper to 2 out of 3 toilet.
Lack of water pressure in the shower especially when both showers available are used in the same time .
The smell of cow poop and urine as the pitches are next to the cows sleeping area.

Tyckte om We really liked the quiet setting. There were only 2 other tents on site when we stayed which suited us. Loved having the Cows, birds, seeing the stars without the noise of others you often get on campsites. Arrival, just turned up and pitched without even needing to speak to anyone. We will be back!

Tyckte om Spacious pitches, clean toilet facilities, peaceful atmosphere

Tyckte om This campsite had a very relaxed feel & good, clean toilet/shower block. The site was basic but well maintained & the pile of tyres in the centre of the tent field was a central focus for all the kids staying at the site. We also appreciated the picnic benches - there are only a few & we secured one on arrival.

It was useful to have the car parked next to our tent and this was no issue as the site was fairly quiet during our stay.

Tyckte inte om Beyond the showers the site was very basic and I would have liked to have somewhere to refreeze cool blocks (then I could have bought some of their milk!) and somewhere to charge phones.

Tyckte om Great warm showers and clean toilets!

Clean fields and large tyres that the kids played in

Tyckte inte om It was very windy and some cover (trees/ hedges/ structures) would’ve been appreciated. One washing up sink was unusable.
Both bins were black- people didn’t know how to recycle. Only one rubbish bin for the whole campsite

Tyckte om Enjoyed location & being part of farm life! We got to see cows & tractors on a daily basis & could purchase diary & meat from Ed who popped round every day. Very chilled out environment with really good clean facilities…..(Toilets & Shower blocks)
Jarred was on hand if had any problems & would check in to make sure everything was ok.
As expected the ground was not completely flat, it is farmland, so pitch at the top of field where the pitches appeared to be a little more level for a tent.

Tyckte om The pitches were around the outside of the field and, on the whole, the centre was kept clear so there a lovely feeling of space and therefore tranquility.
Jarrod was very friendly and answered our questions about walks in the area.
Lovely walks straight from the campsite.
Town is a 10 to 15 minute walk from the site across a field.
Toilets were very clean.
The cows.

Tyckte inte om A small point that possibly only made a difference because the site was full (bank holiday weekend). We were told to pitch centre of the marker and that we had 5 metres either side of it. Some people did not realise this so pitched in a way that made some pitches less usable. A mark painted on the fence to denote the edges of each pitch would be helpful.
A bigger problem was the lack of water. The toilets always flushed but the cold water tap in the toilets did not work at all and the showers did not work all the time. A plumber had been called but arrived as we were leaving.
Only one washing up sink.
Teeth cleaning and hand washing was the 2 very small sinks in the toilets (without cold water).
Saying this, we managed and would still return as the atmosphere and clean, fresh air outweighed any niggles.

Tyckte om Site was clean, safe and picturesque

Tyckte inte om Washroom facilities lacked adequate water pressure.
Washing up area- only 1/2 taps/sink working
