Liked Love it here; so peaceful. Super welcoming. Really clean facilities with all you need. Beautiful orchard to walk through. Dog friendly. Lovely village pub a short walk through the orchard where you will see foxes, deer and an array of birds! We now use this as a regular stop off when visiting family upcountry.

Liked Lovely cafe and staff in the cafe. Pretty village and close to the motorway. Perhaps on a Friday or Saturday night when the bar is open it might have a different feel.

Disliked We were booked to stay on a Monday night. Arrived at lunchtime - No one available to speak to. Far from the description “There’s a real buzz about this lively place”… Just an empty football field next to a cricket workshop (where they didn’t know much about it). ‘People sometimes park in that field to stay I think’. Definitely not a farm campsite. No bar / taproom open, no farm trucks. Only toilets seemed to be the ones in the cafe (that closed at 4pm). No reply to my email the day before asking what food was available and if the bar would be open. Couldn’t get a refund as would have to had cancelled a week in advance but didn’t know it would be that bad… also no-one there to ask. Got bitten badly by bugs in the 10 minutes we were there. Decided not to stay.

From the manager: Dear Emily, Thank you for taking the time to review our farm and I'm pleased you enjoyed the cafe and staff. I'm not sure if you have checked your spam or junk folder but we acknowledged your booking on 15th June 2026 and sent arrival details and a map of the site, which would have shown the location of the newly refurbished toilet and washing facilities in the main courtyard. There are four brand new toilets of which one is a disabled access toilet and has space for baby changing facilities plus washing up in the main block. In addition there are two fully plumbed in mobile toilets by the small front field side entrance gate, with signage in the main courtyard. The arrival details also had a covering email which gave contact details for the owners should you have needed to ask questions on your arrival. This covering email accompanied the site map and arrival details. We also responded to your follow up email asking about food trucks. You sent this on 21st June at 18:43 and we responded that evening at 22:30 explaining no food trucks on the days you are visiting but offering the owner and farm manager details to open the brewery for you to purchase some ales if you would like to have a look around. As you will have seen we use the front field yearly for events and activities and whilst not being used the field is opened up to Pitchup customers as a stop over location, which most of our customers love as the views are lovely and the walks and village around us are beautiful. I'm sorry you felt the location was not lively enough and assure you that we did respond and sent comprehensive details and responded to you follow up query. The joining instructions sent on the 15th June do clearly state the amenities on site and timings for Brewery and food trucks. Fridays and Saturday evenings the brewery, courtyard and barn are open and have visiting food trucks and invariably live music/ dj or an event or festival. We are also open Sunday lunchtimes now 12-4pm. We are sorry we did not match expectations on this occasion but assure you that you were sent all you would have needed to know in advance of your stay and feel concerned with your review. Kind regards Dummer Down Farm
