Edwards Farm

Tyckte om: Nice level site in a peaceful location within a 20-25min walk from Shaftbury (easier on the way back :P ). Great views and excellent communications from the host. I would definitely stay again

Från föreståndaren: Thanks Chris, appreciate your comments, sorry I was away when you came this time (and glad you got the car in ok), hopefully catch up another time. Best Alex

Tyckte om: Everything. We had the best time. Clean toilet facilities, solar powered showers, running water for washing dishes/brushing teeth (inside a really cool looking wooden hut!). This also housed some helpful brochures so that you could see what is around the area etc. There were fresh planted herbs out the front too which added a beautiful touch! Firepits supplied for free and logs for a small fee of £5. Beautiful scenery around the site. We were lucky enough to get a chance to be able to stay in the 6 person, wood burner stove tent. Amazing. Really beautifully set out bell tent room with some nice added touches. Amazing view. We were all so sad to leave! Alex was very helpful, friendly, welcoming and informative. Sent over lots of information before our arrival. Alex was away on our arrival so unfortunately we didn't get to meet him. But he had a helping hand, who was also very welcoming, friendly and available to help with anything we may have needed. Absolutely loved it. Peaceful. Would definitely go again.

Från föreståndaren: Hi Jo, thanks so much for the review, appreciated. Sorry I did not get to see you, but glad Susan looked after you well, and you even decided to spend an extra day. Hope to see you another time. Best Alex

Tyckte om: Loved the field, small and cozy! Limited pitches, which is what we look for as we prefer quieter campsites. Toilets are clean and easily accessed, separate sink for teeth brushing etc and separate washing up facilities. Great showers. It wasn't that sunny whilst we were there, so no hot water, but we didn't mind :) We flew kites (bought from a nearby shop), walked and played. Perfect weekend! Alex (the owner) is very friendly and super relaxed. Happy with most things, as long as everyone respects the rules he has in place (which are simple and mostly common sense). We really enjoyed our stay 🤩 thank you!

Från föreståndaren: Thanks Abbey, much appreciated. Apologies for the showers, its a new system but definitely needs tweaking. I am told it should produce warm water on a dull day, definitely not happening! Love to see you and family back again, glad you enjoyed your stay. Best Alex

Tyckte om: Good place

Tyckte inte om: It's hard to find. It's a very small and invisible sign.

Från föreståndaren: Hi Valentina, thanks for taking the time to review, I am sorry you find it hard to find. We deliberately keep the signage low key, as unfortunately people will stop and use the toilets, and other facilities. This is why I give the post code and what3words address in the information when you book, which will literally take you to the gate. I see you rated the accommodation, which was your tent, as 8/10, and I think you said you had just bought a new one, so I am sorry this did not work out for you, but there is not a lot I can do about that. Also we do not advertise WiFi onsite. 4G is all that you will get but sometimes that is not reliable, but again not really my problem. Best Alex

Tyckte om: Small, quiet and well managed. Bell tent with wood burner already erected. Lovely campsite close to Shaftesbury.

Från föreståndaren: Thank you for taking time to review, and your kind comments. So glad you enjoyed your stay. Best wishes Alex

Tyckte om: We loved the mix of well kept and flat pitches with wild flowers left to grow between. A lovely wild flower meadow in the neighbouring field to walk through with a great spot to watch the sun set over the hills. Edwards Farm has all the basic essentials we needed for 2 friends camping together. Thank you again, we'll be back!

Tyckte inte om: I would honestly struggle to find anything to dislike. If you are of the same mindset as that of the reviewer below who decided to rate this site's accomodation down because of the tent that they themselves brought then perhaps this isn't the site for you :)

Från föreståndaren: Thanks so much for the review, lovely to see you and your children again. Hope to see you again next year - you always bring the weather! Best Alex

Tyckte om: scenery was lovely, lots of wild flowers between the pitches. campsite owner checked in very briefly to make sure everything was okay and that I was settled in. Plenty of resources available detailing local walks and activities.

Tyckte inte om: The ground was a little wet, but I visited very early in the season, I'm sure this wouldn't be an issue later on.

Från föreståndaren: Hi, I am sorry you could only rate the campsite 8/10, you have spoilt my two and a half year record of 10/10 of which I was so proud! But I guess it had to happen sometime. I respect your review as you have to review as you see it. But could I just answer a few of your comments: I hope this is the right person, but I think you booked last minute, arriving that afternoon mid week. This booking popped up on my phone, but unfortunately I was in hospital, having been admitted urgently over the weekend, all a bit of a shock as I am normally super fit. I phoned you immediately and mentioned that the site would not be prepared as usual and if you wanted to book elsewhere or have a refund I was perfectly happy to do so. You did not want either. So I arranged for a friend to pop down and make sure you were ok, sadly that was the best I could do in the circumstances. The site was wet because we have had the worst winter and wettest spring on record, I am sorry I really can not help that. Thank goodness it is so much better now. I had delayed a month from usual opening because of this. We do not offer wifi at the site, as we are entirely off grid, so we encourage people not to rate the wifi. Lastly, I see you rated your accommodation as 8/10 as well. As you brought your own tent , I would strongly urge a trip to the camping shop to treat yourself to an upgrade, get that tent you have always dreamed about! Sorry to have missed you. All Best Alex

Tyckte om: Lovely quiet place

Från föreståndaren: Thanks Faye, very kind. I hope you have better luck with weather on the next trip. All Best Alex

Tyckte om: The space around each pitch. The quietness. The kind owner, Alex. The walk up in to Shaftesbury, good for the leg muscles. The walk down from the nearest pub! View across the area. The siunsets

Från föreståndaren: Thanks Anne, thank goodness the Tent stood up to the weather, but you guys know what you are doing around a tent! Pleasure to meet you both.
