Liked: The simplicity of this campsite. One big field for camping, but with everything you need to make camping life easier.
Clean toilets and showers, communal washing up area. Plenty of fridge/freezer space.
The views are amazing, and if the weather was better I can imagine the sunset views are beautiful. Perfect for stargazing!
I loved how much space there was. Loads of room for the kids to run around, play cricket etc without bothering people.
Even on the August bank holiday weekend, the place wasn't over flowing. There's space to be able to keep yourself private if you wish, but also room to pitch up in groups.
Louise, the owner, is so helpful, friendly and approachable.
The kids can feed some of the animals on the farm at certain times, and they have a little pop up shop in the morning where you can buy essentials. We will definitely be back
Disliked: Nothing.
If I could change one thing though, to make my stay that little bit better, it would be the shower heads and a little more space in the cubicals. That is being really picky though, I really had to think hard about anything I would change.

Liked: The site was simple but a perfect base if you were visiting places in the area! There was enough space in the field so you didn’t feel you were camping on top of others and the facilities were clean and well maintained! Being on a farm, we were surrounded by animals which my 6 year old nephew loved! The option of feeding the chickens and lambs in the morning was an added bonus!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked: This campsite was absolutely lovely. It is a big field with plenty of room to spread out and a play area situated in the middle so you can keep an eye on the kids without worrying.
The toilet blocks are superb, hot showers with proper cubicles, several toilets and they always seemed lovely and clean (no dodgy smells!). The washing up facilities are plentiful and inside the shower block so you don’t get wet when it’s raining. Two large fridges and freezers if like us, you are on a non electric set up, these were invaluable. There are also phone charging facilities in little lockers.
We hired a fire pit for £5 per night and bought a bag of wood for £4 both pretty reasonable.
In the morning we went and fed the lambs and the chickens which my son thought was super and the young girls that took us round were lovely and very professional.
I cannot fault this campsite and for the money especially it was exceptional value.

Liked: Absolutely fantastic campsite. The owners were so lovely and so easy to talk to. We went on a fantastic farm walk with Graham, and Louise was always on hand to help. The facilities are spotless, as is the site. The area is very well kept and there is a lovely little play area for children. I can’t recommend Holsome enough! We will definitely be returning. Thank you!

From the manager: Hi,
Apologies, but i don not offer Wifi at our site as we are on the end of a telephone exchange with a copper wiring hence our broadband speeds are reminiscent of dial up internet connections ..... if i offered that then i would deserve a minus score....
The photos of our site show that we are a family campsite that offers swings and a slide with a big open field for children to play in. There is also the opportunity to feed the lambs and chickens, if children and or adults wish to take part.
I apologise if you did not like my approach of greeting you at check in and then leaving you to it, unless you let me know that you have a problem.
I disagree with your comments on cleanliness, as you can see from the other reviews i have high standards, so i am tempted to think that you have me mixed up with another campsite.
