From the manager: Hi Ronan,
Thank you for taking time to leave your feedback, we are so glad you enjoyed the location, value for money, children friendliness and the cleanliness. Our team work very hard to ensure everyone has a lovely stay.

We are a working farm which will situate us on farm roads which we do include on the description of the Farm. I can see from you photo that you were not in the camping field but in the Alpaca Field where they have their barn.

I'm so sorry you did not receive the information you needed before your arrival, on your next visit, follow the track up and then turn left onto the main field where it is set up for camping.

Liked The laid back feel.
The facilities like the gorgeous toilets and showers and the kitchen area with well stocked supplies!
The beautiful views!
Farm animals
Bob the dog
The sign posted route to the pub.
The brilliantly worded info email and signs on site- made us smile!

Disliked That we weren't able to stay longer.

From the manager: Hi Zoe,

Thank you so much for taking time to leave such lovely feedback! We all really love what we do and so glad you share our sense of humour!
What brilliant photos you have captured too!
We hope to welcome you back very soon and maybe stay for longer next time ;)

Liked It was very clean, tidy, spacious, well kept, and they allow a late night check-in! The toilets and showers blocks were nicely presented. They have a communal area which has gas, water, a fridge, kettle, etc and this was a nice touch. The bins were close by and big. The staff were friendly too.

Disliked When arriving at night, there are no visible instructions on how the site works, how to check-in or anything really. I circled the site 3 times looking for some type of instruction/confirmation. Eventually a member of staff saw me.

It would be better of they used clear, white unmistakable signs on the site, maybe with fluorescent tape around them or something.

I'd personally write something like;

"You have arrived at Penn Meadow! The site has a circular road system. Please drive through the gate and turn right.

If you have arrived after 10pm, please feel free to pitch up, but leave 5m space around you. We will see you in the morning.

The showers are at the top of the hill. Please feel free to use the kettle and facilities in the middle of the site.

Enjoy your stay."

Anyway, in the morning, it all became clearer. There's a wooden structure to the right of the gate that says "check-in here".

From the manager: HI Anthony,

Im so sorry you did not receive instructions for arrival, these should have been sent to you automatically via Hipcamp. I will contact them to see what has happened as this is a third party booking system.

Typically we do not have arrival after 9pm due to having a volume down from 10pm.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the facilities on site. The entire team really love what they do and we are grateful that this came across on your stay.

Liked Everything.
We had the most wonderful time in this beautiful setting.
The facilities such as the camp kitchen and toilets/ showers made our stay all the more comfortable.
The animals on the farm were wonderful. Our children particularly loved the goats and our little boy (who is usually nervous around dogs) fell in love with the fantastic working dogs on site.
It was chilled and our whole family felt a sense of total freedom during our stay.
Every member of staff were most kind and helpful.
A big thank you from us all.

Disliked Nothing at all

From the manager: HI Kimberley!
Thank you so much for taking time to leave such lovely feedback and brilliant photos!! I think the goat in the photo is Author, the two pigs are Dolly and Dotty and the baby alpaca is Marshmallow, the others do not currently have names.
The dogs are so used to children on site and have magic powers I'm sure, I hope your son can feel a little more confident around dogs now.
We hope to welcome you back very soon!
