Lambs Barn Camping Ground

Tyckte om: Location

Tyckte inte om: Absolutely vile toilets that were overflowing and not emptied! Complained to site owner but he didn’t seem to care and blamed it on ‘not being able to get hold of the company who own the toilets to empty them’! The shower was also terrible. The tarpaulin curtain did not close fully and there was no where dry to leave your stuff when it rained (there is no roof). There was a dry bag but it was wetter in the inside than it was out. Everyone left early because of the disgusting toilets. This place might be ok early in the season when emptying might occur more often but it was so much of a health hazard that I vomited because of the smell.

Från föreståndaren: Dear Kirsty
My apologies for your bad experience with our toilets. They are cleaned twice daily and there is no excuse other than we underestimated how busy the site would become over the bank holiday weekend. Its our first year and we will strive to better ourselves going forward. As for the shower, we think and have been comended for its originality, power, heat, quirky feel and look! As for your clothes, we as you stated supply a very large 'dry bag' so that they stay dry while you shower, we surely can not be blamed when inconsiderate people leave it open to the elements.

Från föreståndaren: Hi Melanie

It was great to meet you guys, thank you for the lovely review, we are trying our best to keep the site as nature intended but with a few home comforts! We are so lucky to be custodians of such a lovely part of beautiful Cornwall and love sharing it.
See you next year!

John

Tyckte om: Great location. Close to Fowey.
The shower is legendary. Outdoor, looking up to the sky with lovely hot water.

Tyckte inte om: Hard to find flat pitch.
No discount for hikers minus the car.
Regulation of quiet times needed.

Från föreståndaren: Dear Yohan

I'm sorry that we did not greet you when you arrived at Lambs barn, there is a large sign on arrival that points out a phone number so as to contact us as we regularly have to be on another part of the farm! When I arrived back to the campsite and saw your tent you had already left to go into Fowey.
Yes, as you say you arrived by bike and had a one man tent! At no time did you telephone or request a reduction and as far as I and Pitchup knew was that you were happy and had booked a tent pitch which is £19.50 for up to 2 persons with a tent.
We do have rules and enforce 'quiet time' after midnight, my van was less than 20 metres from yours and we did not notice or have reason to investigate any noise.

John

Tyckte om: The location of the ground (10min walking to the beach, 20-25min walking to Fowey harbour)
The kindness of the owner
Very quiet place

Tyckte inte om: Shower & toilets (ok for a short stay)

Thank you for taking time to leave us a review, we understand that we must change our toilets next year so that our customers experience is as good as our location!

Merci

John

Tyckte om: Location within Fowey is perfect, town and beach are both walking distance but still very much feel within nature. Very friendly site.

Tyckte om: Location was very good. Short walk into the town which is small but beautiful.

Tyckte inte om: The unlevel hill location, the shower and especially the toilets which were really bad and unclean.
If you need shower and toilet facilities, I would not recommend this site.

Tyckte om: We liked that it was the central to Fowey and close to many attractions. This is a very basic camping site and was great for what we needed. It had a shower, which was hot/warm. (When I say shower it is a wooden platform in the field with a curtain around it. But it does work!) The site was clean and tidy but is on a slope, we had to adjust a few times to not roll over when trying to sleep.

Tyckte inte om: The toilets were gross and not clean. No toilet paper. The smell was pungent that if you were having a shower and someone went to the toilet, you could smell it. The toilets are porter loos and maybe should have been emptied/cleaned.

As you rightly point out our toilets were not up to your expectations and i assure you that they were not up to ours! We are addressing this smelly problem and are striving to open next year with a sweet smelling improvement!

John

Tyckte om: Friendly person on the entrance. Lovely views and plenty of space. Easy access to Fowey town - quick walk past the school and through the main car park.
Quiet at night.
Shower was lovely and hot and not busy.

Tyckte inte om: As described in blurb, toilets were more basic - portaloos.

Från föreståndaren: Hi

Thank you for taking the time to give us your likes and dislikes while camping here at Lambs barn. Look forward to seeing you next year with our improved toilets in place.

John

Tyckte om: Lovely site, well maintained and site manager was friendly and helpful with lots of local tips. The location was perfect for walk to the beach. Facilities were basic but all we needed. We had a great time with the kids here!

Tyckte inte om: Portable toilets are always a bit nasty, maybe an upgrade to eco toilets would make for a nicer experience. Also the shower was hard to maintain a consistent temperature.

Tyckte inte om: In consistant pricing

Rekommendera för vänner Besök igen

Från föreståndaren: Thank you for your lovely comments about our site here in Fowey.
You are mistaken regarding our pricing here, i believe you have missread the sign. There is a price for parking only a van during the day of £5, this is only for people that wish to visit Fowey after they have packed up and moved off the pitch at or before 10.30am or visiting (parking) for the day (8am-7pm) and walking down to the beach!
Best wishes

John
