Bell tent
Liked: We stayed in the bell tent over the Easter weekend. The tent was massive and came with a good sized bath towel and hair towel each, crockery and cutlery, tea and coffee supplies, comfy chair/loungers, a fire pit and wood as well as a lighter. There is also a covered camp kitchen with sink and stove. The views were beautiful and the campsite was super quiet. We hadn’t decided what to do that weekend other than get outside, and it’s well placed for getting down to the coast or other inland attractions. It’s also a ten minute walk to the local pub (The Charlton Inn) which had a great menu (and fab allergen understanding).
The customer service was also great - I had only booked two nights and been so poorly with a cold and morning sickness the week before that I messaged to cancel the first night and Emma kindly offered to shift our booking a night later. She also reminded us to bring wellies when it was expected the forecast would be bad and put out an extra blanket when it was due to be chilly.
Disliked: As an FYI only - the Charlton Inn doesn’t do food on Sunday evenings so it’s a very short trip into Blandford for another pub or other meal on a Sunday night!

Liked: My second stay at the site - very peaceful. I had the place to myself as during the Christmas holidays. Hosts happy to let me crack on. Facilities basic but just what I needed. Found the local pub this time - the Charlton Inn, which seemed lovely.

Liked: The site was very peaceful with lovely views over nearby farmland. The owners were friendly and relaxed. The outside washing up / kitchen area was useful, and the composting toilet and hot shower were perfect for what I needed. I’ll be back :)

Liked: Wow a lovely little gem of a site,
Basic camping at its best, amazing views of fields and country side. Really friendly host, welcomed with a warm smile and advised on location of where to collect wood and offered use of their climbing wall as well.
The outside kitchen was a great touch, keeping the wine cold in the fridge and milk fresh. We had tale end of a storm so being able to cook under cover was brilliant.
The compost toilet was clean and shower was an experience.
Disliked: The road in was a little steep, had been warned about this but worth the climb to the top.
