A lovely family run business with heart and passion. Beautiful site, spacious pitches, clean and superb showers/toilets.||This is a perfect stay if your looking a safe peaceful family get away, or you just need to switch off from busy day to day life. Could not have spent my days away more relaxed.||Great for spotting nature as I saw many new animals on my get away and also saw the glorious starry sky as clear as anything.

Liked: shower and toilet facilities are excellent and very clean, love that they have radio playing in there! The dog washroom was absolutely incredible! Really helpful as it was a very wet and muddy weekend when we stayed, so meant we could keep our little pooch clean and dry! Brilliant!

Disliked: Nothing we disliked! Was amazing!

Liked: The campsite was safe and welcoming. We were greeted and personally shown to our pitch. The pitch was ample for our needs. The facilities were close by and clean. The water was always hot for a shower and washing up. It was a really nice atmosphere on site with a mix of families with young babies and children, older children, adult groups of mixed ages and a lot of seasonal caravanners. The dogs on site were exceptionally well behaved and the majority of pitches were not woken by my silly dog that cried a lot on our first night! The children all played on the communal pitch happily until dusk and the adults then chatted happily into the night. The barn area was a welcome addition with Pool, table football and ping pong. It had a really nice community feel with the teens being really considerate of the younger children and vice versa. Adults and children alike all loved the daily tractor trailer ride and it was just another thing that gave the camp a strong sense of community. The small lakes were quietly busy with fishermen and with lots of bees, butterflies and moths throughout the day and evening. There was little light pollution so we could enjoy the stars whilst toasting marshmallows and warming our toes. The camp was quiet throughout the night and (excepting the first night with my dog) we all slept well and peacefully throughout our stay....a really happy camp that I'd recommend to anyone.

Disliked: I don't think I found anything that I didn't like.

We’ve had a seasonal pitch at this site for a couple of years this is our last year sadly as health has meant we are downsizing. We have loved our time on site it’s so peaceful the clue is in the name 😉 the facilities are excellent for the size of the site. The staff can’t do enough for you Sean has three hands I think and Ryan is so patient and polite. If we weren’t forced to give up our caravan we would be staying put as for us it’s been a perfect escape from the madness. We will miss our bolthole and wish you all continued success just don’t change anything 🙂

Liked: Facilities were clean and modern - showers, toilets, wash-up, washing machine.
Dog friendly with a dog cleaning area, which was handy when our dog jumped in a muddy puddle nearby.
Quiet and lots of space but pitches are open (no hedges).
Not far to Lyme Regis, Charmouth, Eype etc

Disliked: It is dark with no additional lighting which makes it great for star-gazing but you definitely need a good torch. But we knew this when booking so wasn't a problem

Liked: Rural Location, spacious plots, water and electric close to pitches.

We were in a campervan and put up an awning on a grass pitch.

It’s a quiet site with no light pollution. We saw a baby deer whilst have a morning cuppa run along the boundary hedge and rabbits. We was out touring during the day as it’s within 20 mins of Lyme Regis and within 45 mins of Beer (lovely coastal wall to Bramscombe) and Seaton to name a few.

Disliked: £37 per. Night was in our opinion too high for what the site has. The grass pitches aren’t marked out so little maintenance needed. Toilets and showers were clean but average

I just wanted to say what a delight this place is. We purchased a caravan on a seasonal pitch here a few months back.
The facilities are nothing short of fabulous. So clean! Getting ready stations in the seasonal blocks, with Hollywood mirrors and velvet chairs. It's certainly luxury!
A dedicated dog wash room, with state of the art bathing and drying facilities, together with supplied shampoo and conditioner.
Everything you need from kitchens to a private off lead, secure dog field.
Esther and Mike have thought of it all.
I've had dealings with Esther and she's lovely. Helpful, prompt in responding and she runs the Spa (which I haven't used but hears great things.)
My husband has dealt with Mike, Ryan and Sean and found them all great to deal with.
We even booked a Geo pod for my husbands elderly dad to stay in. Wow the glamping facilities are fabulous!
We've truly had a wonderful time here. Once we have either finished touring or got fed up with it, we certainly wouldn't rule out pitching up here again.
Thank you for everything.

We spent a short thankfully 3 night stay here to visit mt wife’s sister in Bridport.||It sounds ideal from the web site and all the initial contact booking and welcome email is great however from then on it’s simply down and down hill. The welcome email asks you to phone the day before to get the gate code so 3 phone calls the day before as requested none answered then on the day 3 more calls all unanswered eventually a returned call with the code to get in. ||Getting to the site is horrendous up miles of single track country lane if the is a preferred rout in why not include a map in the welcome email simple solution. First impressions on arrival no one to greet you, you have to phone and after a wait a lad arrives on a bicycle to take you to your pitch. It all looks run down un cut hedges etc, having come from a caravan and Motorhome site the day before the comparison is massive in a negative value. The toilet block was closed apart from the disabled loo apparently due to it being out of season during our 3 night stay it was not cleaned the same rubbish remained on the floor for the entire stay.||We will never go back or recommend this site it could be so good but it is simply amateurish and of a low standard.
