Liked I have been coming to this campsite since the first year when it opened. It is always a pleasure to come back to it.
I like all the new things that are being introduced to the campsite but please still maintain the feeling of as close to wild camping as possible.
Having showers on site is a nice touch.
The massage with Mikaela is great. Porta loos are a great addition.
Water taps in each filed are great.
Love the location and the views. Close to shops ,pubs and public footpaths to go exploring the peninsula.
I liked seeing all the animals on the farm.
Teddy is the bestest good boy. I will miss him until next time. He's such a good dog.

From the manager: Hi Caron,
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear that you appreciated our peaceful atmosphere, scenic walks, and friendly staff. It's wonderful to know that you found the site not too busy, allowing for a relaxing experience.
We understand your concerns regarding the toilet facilities. Currently, our compost toilets are out of service due to a broken tractor, and we've provided temporary portaloos in the meantime. We are committed to enhancing our amenities and plan to install a matching toilet block that will complement our shower facilities, ensuring a more comfortable experience for our guests.
We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back in the future with improved facilities.
Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts.
The team at Sweet Hill Farm.

Liked The campsite was lovely with great facilities. Me and my gf stayed there for 2 nights and we enjoyed every moment throughly. The price per night is very reasonable and check in process is very easy also. Nice and peaceful location perfect for couples and families. Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend staying here when visiting the isle of Portland. Very close to the sea side and accompanied by beautiful views. Easily accessible walking paths all around.
Disliked Too hard to think of anything.
