Dummer Down Farm

Liked This is a nice simple quiet site with plenty of space for camping. We had no issues finding it and getting set up. Communication was great and we were given a map with the site and facilities details. We tried out the honest cafe for breakfast and it was amazing! The bathroom and sink facilities were clean although the sink in one toilet was cracked and could do with replacing and they don’t have any shower facilities. Had these been available we could stay for more than a couple of nights another time. My kids enjoyed watching the cricket shop and factory staff making cricket bats and we did buy some for the boys as they have shown and interest in learning to play in the past. That was quite the hidden gem. I think it would be nice to visit on a weekend when the brewery is open but I suspect it might be a little more rowdy then. Instead we had a few chats with the locals and a few cyclists and enjoyed our stay despite the typical English weather.

Disliked I think the sink in one of the toilets needs sorting as kids could hurt themselves if they aren’t sensible. But I’m sure it will be sorted fairly quickly as everything else was clean and well maintained if they can fix the weather for next time that would be great too!

Liked Location easy to find off M3
Great cafe
Peaceful lication
Hot water to use in toilets and a kettle, mirror too. All a bonus when camping.

Disliked Arrived after 4 know one to see about the stay. That's was ok but would have been nice just to know a few things about site.
Toilet facilities were adequate.
Sink leak in mens and lacked cleaning.

From the manager: Thank you for your review.

We send our Pitchup guests details of our seasonal (May to August) pop up site in advance along with maps and location of loos etc, unless it's a last minute booking and we missed your booking before you arrived. Guests don't need to check in as we are aware of bookings and add to the calendar.

What might work is for us to add some PitchUp guest details in the loos and at the field notice board that may help for arrivals. Thank you for the feedback.

Bar and food cart area in the evening

Liked a lady returned my call within the hour when I needed to confirm if I was at the right place and whether I needed to ‘check in’
It was quiet at night

Disliked There was one toilet with no handwashing facility. The toilet block as acknowledged by lady from the farm who called - was in need of refurbishment.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to review our site.

Sadly, the door to our scruffy paint splashed loo, which is used for the farm workers, had come off recently. As it's next to our two farm loos it looked like it was part of the available toilets when busy. We are sorry it did not have hand washing facilities inside and we check why there was no soap in the sink outside the loo.

As mentioned the toilet block is due an overhaul in the winter so will be wonderful next year so hopefully we will see you again.

Liked Really nice pitch with a wonderful Café

From the manager: Thank you for your review and glad you enjoyed your stay.

Our toilet facilities are soon to be upgraded with potential for a shower. We are a pop up camp site for summer period only but as we've gained popularity we realise some work is needed and have plans to address this.

Liked Lots of space, convenience of shop and take away vans on the weekend. Lovely little cafe and delicious cider from the brewery. Overall loved the whole weekend. Convenient for a short couple days away
