Liked: The site was beautifully kept, with nicely spaced pitches and loads of space for the children to run around and play in.
The shower and toilet were clean and presentable for both days that we were there.
Really lovely site and will definitely be back.

3 bedroom static caravan
Liked: We booked this for ourselves and a friend for Easter 2025 as I needed a break to recharge after a stressful time. We were so pleased we did. This is a lovely quiet campsite. The static caravan we stayed in was spotlessly clean and like a home from home. The attention to detail was excellent and made this stand out as we felt very welcome. Mel was lovely and helpful as we arrived later than we planned - great comms. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a lovely place to stay within reach of all the local attractions. Would definitely stay here again :)

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked: This is a very quiet pitch. On arrival was met by a very nice lady with a wonderful great, she explained all the amenities and times, could not fault anything really. The pitching area was nice and kept cut and clean.The shower and toilets were extremely clean.
Disliked: The only one thing I could pick up on was the shower head needed a clean as clogging with calcium or a new head but apart from that can not fault the site.

From the manager: Thank you for your review; we are always open to constructive feedback. It would therefore be beneficial for us if you had stated in the “dislikes” why you scored us as you did, so that we can improve our site for future visitors.
Just for clarity; we are a simple no frills farm site with no additional facilities other than EHU, a shower, a toilet and a water point, as stated in our site description. We do not have Wi-Fi. Both your accommodation and entertainment is provided by you. We are10 minutes from Weymouth town and beach where other visitors have found a multitude of things to do to.
Excellent site friendly and level pitches

Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Lovely setting in a gorgeous, quiet location.
Basic and simple amenities, but sometimes quiet and simple is all you need, however, only 10 mins drive from civilisation and the town.
Lee, the grounds keeper, was marvellous and Mel, the owner, lovely.
Disliked: Some might not like the closeness of the pylons, but we thought they were quite ‘regal’.
