The Hop Farm

喜欢 Large level pitches, shower/toilet facilities were clean. River was fun for the kids.

不喜欢 Toilets and showers were far from our pitch (we were close to the river), shop had too many toys and not enough provisions for sale so I wouldn’t relay on it.
Not really the the owners fault but people were driving and racing like maniacs down the fields.

来自经理: Thank you for choosing to stay with us on Saturday, the busiest day so far with lots of last minute bookings possibly due to the lovely weather.
The river pitches are a 5 to 15 minute walk to the facilities and other fields even further, however we do have 2 fields very close to them. Our non-electric guests choose where to stay after checking-in and given a map along with our site rules.
It is very inconsiderate of any campers to drive more than the stated 5MPH , it would appear we need to put more speed limit signs out.
When the family farm and cafe was open we could sell perishable items including bread, bacon, eggs, milk etc. as they could be taken to the cafe to be used before the sell by date, we did try to sell for a few months after it closed but most of the stock had to be thrown away. We are selling toys at very reasonable prices and a few other basic necessities.
We hope you will visit again.

喜欢 Every year going here the best plate to spend time good price very nice place to stay

喜欢 The Hop Farm is a brilliant place — we really enjoyed our stay. The water facility is a real bonus. I just wish there were toilet facilities closer to the far end fields, as it’s a bit of a walk otherwise (or toilet trips need to be arranged during the day). The main facilities were clean and well looked after.

Unfortunately, we did encounter very disruptive neighbours who kept our group awake throughout the night and at times were quite intimidating. However, management dealt with the situation very swiftly the next morning and were extremely apologetic, even though it was not their fault. We really appreciated their professionalism and care.

Overall, a great experience and we would return

喜欢 Camped on one of the back fields near the river. No Electric

Lots of space, great weather, great company. My grandson learned to ride his bike. Great two days messing about on the river.

We have our own facilities so didn't use the toilets or washrooms.

喜欢 We love the hop farm and have been coming for several years and will visit again in the future

不喜欢 Unfortunately our stay this time wasn’t the greatest. Several massive groups had taken up large parts of various fields to camp together and were shouting and noisy and playing music with huge stereo set ups and disco lights until the early hours of the first night.
One big group arrived after we did and camped really close to us in one of the bottom fields despite there being literally acres of other space they could have chosen, so we ended up having to move. Then another big group turned up in the field behind (the ones with the disco lights) and we just didn’t want the hassle of moving again so we were sandwiched between two loud groups, both of which were noisy until 2/3 am.
Unfortunately it is well publicised that the last patrol of the site is at 10pm so noise dips at this point and then once the patrol has happened it goes straight back up. Mobile phone signal is non existent in the lower fields so in order to call and complain you’d have to drive the couple of miles back up to the top of the site, not really practical or convenient.
Some other groups had pitched up right next to and across the river access points, so it was difficult to get down to the river as you couldn’t cross their encampment (despite it being a publicly accessible footpath to anyone and not just residents) which is a real pain and ruins one of the main selling points of this site.

Points to consider:
Later patrols for noise and anti social behaviour

Not allowing people to pitch right next to and block the public river access points.

喜欢 Beautifully landscaped nature with a beautiful river

不喜欢 The problem with toilets and showers! If you live far from them you have to go by car. Therefore, there is a lot of and unsafe traffic, which I think will lead to problems, because there are no roads and everyone drives as they please. The second problem is with electricity. Electrical connections are made, but electricity is only supplied in a certain place which is neither beautiful nor attractive. And also the water supply is far from beautiful places. I would like more toilets and showers in different places and access to swimming

As you were on an electric pitch you had the water point, toilets and showers within a few feet of your tent, this is the only area we can get an electric supply and services to, however the fields and river are virtually on your doorstep.
We do not have a swimming pool and do not advertise as having one when looking to book.
We are in the process of getting more 5MPH signs put out, even being given a print out when checking in of the campsite rules including the speed limit it appears not everyone wants to adhere to these rules.
We look forward to welcoming you again.

喜欢 Large relaxed pitches in very big fields

不喜欢 Long walk to facilities

来自经理: Thank you for choosing to stay with us especially over the busiest weekend of this year.
The further away from the facilities, the more space you have but it does mean a long walk to the toilets. Some guests who have stayed before and want to pitch up further away bring a toilet tent to use at night time.
We look forward to your next visit.

喜欢 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
