Liked We had a fantastic stay at Beetlebank Farm. This is the second time we've visited and the campsite has received a very welcomed toilet upgrade! The new compostable toilet is excellent, and all the facilities are very well maintained, clean, and thoughtfully looked after. The owner is approachable, welcoming, and super friendly, and has always made the effort to come over for a chat. The site is wonderfully quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. We were lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves during our stay, which made it feel even more special. It's also very child-friendly, with a brilliant tyre rope swing and an old tractor for the kids to climb on and play with, which they absolutely loved. The location is ideal too, with beautiful beaches only around a 20-minute drive away, so it's easy to enjoy the coast while returning to the peace and tranquillity of the farm. It's also exciting to hear about the future plans for the campsite. It’s clear the owner is passionate about creating something really special, and we can't wait to return next year when the donkeys and sheep will be in the field. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Beetlebank Farm to anyone looking for a relaxing countryside escape.

Disliked There wasn't any drinking water available on site, which wasn't a problem for us as we came fully prepared, but it's worth knowing in advance so you can bring enough with you. The camping area could also benefit from a little maintenance. The grass itself wasn't an issue, but there were quite a few nettles and thistles around, the tree area, which aren't ideal if you have young children who like to run around barefoot. This isn't a criticism of the site itself, but it was disappointing to find quite a few cigarette butts left behind by previous campers. With how dry the ground is at the moment, it feels like a potential fire risk as well as being unpleasant for families with children. Hopefully future visitors will take more care and leave the site as they found it.

Liked Location is incredible. Staff are friendly. Some flat pitches. Quiet site. Family friendly, cafe near by. Great having use of firepits. Close to watersports.

Disliked Toilets were horrendous; dirty, overflowing and pungent. Someone was pitched on our planned pitch. Prices seemed high for the apparent lack of amenities.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, Zoe. We're sorry you had this experience with our toilets, they are portaloos and we do our best to keep on top of them, in fact we regularly get comments about how clean they are. However, in times like the August bank holiday (when I believe you stayed) the toilets get well used; so sorry if our usual standards had slipped. We're glad that despite this, you would still visit again and we look forward to that.

Liked Lovely remote location. Friendly, accommodating Staff. Well maintained. Very Dog friendly. Excellent Dog Field at an extra price. Lots of farm animals for the children. Great facilities.
