  • Traditional working farm with cider production and microbrewery
  • Friendly, relaxed atmosphere and views of the Jurassic Coast
  • Italian restaurant; tickets are extra for summer events and festivals
Fancy the sound of a Dorset farm with its own cider production and cosy restaurant – plus summer events (which you need to buy separate tickets for)? With views of the fably viewsome Jurassic Coast and Bride Valley, adults-only Bredy Farm is also close to beaches, the South West Coast Path, Bridport and Dorchester. You might fancy a pint or two of that, cheers. All these happenings are on a relaxed and friendly working farm with its own microbrewery and cider shed open to the public. It's set up for simple camping, for excellent cider and for parties, at its occasional weekend-long music events (extra charge). Guests pitch up in The Orchard or The Mead on either side of the river Bride. Facilities include running water, a basic cold-water area to wash pots and pans, three portable toilets, four composting toilets, three rustic shower units on The Mead (free to use) as well as two flushing toilets and two modern, high-quality coin-operated showers (located on the main farm). Certainly not basic are the offerings at the farm's Italian restaurant/café, which serves up plates of tasty homemade food, including proper Neapolitan-style pizzas (it's rightly popular so it's best to book ahead, especially if you're travelling in a group). From May to August, Bredy Farm is buzzing with energy. Every Friday and Saturday night, expect live music, DJs and a lively bar open until 2am. If you're after a quiet, peaceful country break, then you might want to visit in the midweek or out of the season – even then, Friday and Saturday still bring a party.

What customers say

Bredy Farm, an adult-only site, gets rave reviews for its gorgeous rural setting, welcoming vibe, and great restaurant/bar. Guests love the spacious spots & fire pits. While usually tidy with good facilities like compost toilets and showers, some note weekend noise from events, and the portable toilets can sometimes be problematic. Expect a lively, "festival feel" on weekends, and a quieter time midweek.

Mead primitive grass campsite (adults only)

Liked Toilets and showers were fine. The restaurant was excellent with great service.

Disliked We camped here a couple of years ago and loved the rustic low key level party vibe. However; it felt like an 18 to 30 holiday destination this weekend. Unfortunately we won’t return.

Andrew L.

Orchard primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite (adults only)

Liked Situated in a gorgeous position, surrounded by countryside, the sound of the stream and grazing cattle.

Disliked Service in the restaurant was a little lacklustre, very slow to be served and had to wait over an hour for a take away pizza and see others served before us who arrived after, think our order was lost.

I would only go back if I really wanted to party myself...

Iulia K.

Orchard primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite (adults only)

Liked Flat terrain, lots of trees and I felt we had our own intimacy. Close to the beach and had a nice bar which wasn't that close to the campung area.

Disliked Dirty toilets and very noisy. People were drinking and played music during the night, speaking out loud and sometimes screaming.

Orchard primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite (adults only)

Liked The partial isolation and location. A decent walk and you end up at Hive Beach where you can walk the coastal path to West Bay.

It was a bit of a ‘free for all’ trying to get a decent pitch for the van. A lot of uneven surfaces.

Entertainment was DJ Fri and Sat, The Rattle Shed was a converted barn with a bar. Decent selection of drinks, including IPA and on site cider.

The Parlour restaurant serves good pizza, just seemed limited on meat options.

18+ campsite.

Friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Disliked The Saturday night saw the owner have his birthday. Free BBQ and champagne flowing. Only downside, it went on ALL night - rubbish nights sleep. Music was loud from the barn.

The portaloos were disgusting. There was one W/c on the whole site that wasn’t in a plastic box. If you were downwind of them on your pitch…

Of course, I had to park near the weed smoking. There was a lot of it. Each to their own, but not for breakfast thanks.

I stuck to the IPA which, when going through my bank account, varied in price. £6.00 then £6.10…

I get it’s trying to have a ‘festival feel’, wasn’t expecting it that weekend!

Overall a good almost back to nature stay. Fun for party people.

Joanne R.

Mead primitive grass campsite (adults only)

Liked Nice level ground. Clean and tidy surroundings
Choice of pitches in Orchard or in mead . We stayed riverside, very pleasant spot.
Bar was nice and restaurant looked good, although we didn't eat there.
Enjoyed people watching.
Beware the cider.....it creeps up on you.
Good to be able to have firepit.
Good rubbish facilities.
Good idea and use of the communal areas...bar etc.

Disliked It was made clear on website that there was a party vibe especially at weekends.
We didn't actually hear the music from the Rattleshack., but a group of younger folk who pulled an allnighter, and could be heard laughing and chatting until 5am. Plus campers retuning to pitches at 2.30 in the morning cidered up!

Orchard primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite (adults only)

Liked Brady Farm is a wonderful place. It is popular with all age groups. On weekends there is a DJ at the barn. The party goes on until the early hours. People at the campsite are well behaved and polite. There's a lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend for a weekend of fun and relaxation

Local attractions

If you're here for an events weekend, stick around for a bit afterwards to investigate the area: take it as read that your boss will applaud your initiative. Start off by going seawards: the nearest beach and the local stretch of Jurassic Coast are about a mile away in front of Bredy Farm's local village of Burton Bradstock, leading to the famed Chesil Beach. (The award-winning Hive café dishes up seafood in Burton Bradstock too.) If it's Jurassic Coast fossils you're after, the nearby Dinosaurland Fossil Museum in Lyme Regis has piles of specimens in its collection of local Jurassic marine fossils, so meander along here to see what you can sea. More fossily remains are in the Jurassic Coast gallery at nearby Bridport Museum. Piles of other things are around Bredy Farm to see and do, such as the village of Abbotsbury and its swannery, full-size construction machinery driving at Diggerland Devon, seaside towns like Charmouth and Weymouth, and exploring old buildings like Hardy's Cottage. If you're around to shop, local town Bridport has a vintage market on the last Sunday of every month. You might also like to try more of the fizzy stuff if you're around Bredy Farm for a cider weekend, so totter off to a couple of the boozy attractions in the area, such as the tastings and tours of Bridport's Palmer Brewery, founded in 1794, and sampling the sparkling and still wines of Furleigh Estate Wines, producing Dorset wine from its base at Salway Ash.
