Weekend Trip to Quaint Farm in a National Park

Thank you so much to Matt and his family for a wonderful stay. The cabin was clean and we loved the little touch of the welcome gifts. We were so pleasantly surprised by the space around the cabin and the privacy we had. It was such a great space for children to run around in. It is so special that there is only one cabin as so many farms have numerous, we loved the private feel. Our only comment is that as a group of 4 adults and 1 child, we felt it was about as packed as we would like it. The bunk beds are very small for adults but we made it work. Fabulous that there was an air fryer available. Could do with some more outdoor cooking equipment like tongs, grills and oven gloves. But we all had a great stay and would love to visit you again in the near future.

Weekend Trip to Quaint Farm in a National Park

Such a great place, Matt is really friendly too. Highly recommended

Weekend Trip to Quaint Farm in a National Park

My family stayed at Hazelbank farm for a weekend. My children loved walking around the farm and exploring the wooded areas. They loved feeding the sheep and playing in the tree house. It's a lovley location very quiet and peaceful. Matt helped show us how to light the fire we really enjoyed having the fire in the evening.

Weekend Trip to Buttles Farm Campsite

We had an idyllic midsummer stay. The owner, Carl, is an extremely nice man. The camping field is large and beautiful, and we had it to ourselves on the final night. The toilet/shower block is small but clean and perfectly serviceable. We'll definitely be back - possibly as soon as later this summer. Hugely recommended.

Weekend Trip to Freedom Farm Camping

Nice, quiet campsite. Easily accessible from east London/M11. We were greeted by Emma and David who were very friendly. We were given a private pitch in a small paddock beside the cattle instead of the main field. This was great for the kids to run around safely and play games. Lots of wildlife. We saw swifts, birds of prey and lots of butterflies, dragonflies, etc. No road noise or aeroplanes. Toilets were clean and close to us, but would have been a bit of a trek from the main field. We had a very nice time and would be happy to return.

Weekend Trip to Penn Meadow Farm

Had an absolutely lovely time! A lot of space to freely choose where you want to camp. Bathroom/showers were exceptionally clean and lovely to use. Very friendly site

Weekend Trip to Penn Meadow Farm

It’s very nice camping site with very good facilities. It was lovely to see farm animals and walk to the pub between them. Only negative thing was cars. There were many cars in the camp area. This made the beautiful view a bit less beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Penn Meadow Farm

Brilliant spot just outside of London. Nice and relaxed, pitch wherever you life, and great for kids with animals and woods to explore. The local pub is worth a visit.

Weekend Trip to Hollym Holiday Park

facilities are great and site staff are friendly. The shower is a good temperature and theres a fridge available in the pot washing room. There is a pub a short walk away that serves food and a little garden centre that also serves food.

1 night at Penn Meadow Farm

Great campsite, well managed, with friendly farm dogs, sheep and goats living on-site who will come to say hello! I had a lovely morning playing fetch with the dogs, Bob is especially friendly - there's spots to have campsite fires, and there's a kitchen with fridge, kettle and gas hob which you can use - shower was warm all night, toilets are porcelain flush toilets a rare treat on a campsite, could have all been a little cleaner but this is a campsite not the Garrick on Mayfair! The majority of the site is on a slope, so you'll need blocks to level your caravan and if you're camping in a tent you'll just need to be mindful which direction you pitch your tent - it's a short walk from the site (15 minutes, through lovely wooded trails) to supposedly the oldest public house in Britain 'The Royal Standard of England', I didn't eat there but the beer was excellent. Access to the site is via a steep gravel road and there isn't any trackway down so again be mindful driving onto site. I paid £25 for tent camping for 1 adult so on the expensive end of camping but I felt like I had my money's worth and would love to camp here again in future - well done Penn Meadow Farm Camping

Weekend Trip to Penn Meadow Farm

I had a lovely two day stay here. Was camping for some chill time and the countryside and views here are fabulous. There are two fields, one much bigger than the other. It was busy so I couldn’t find a space in the big field that was quiet and flat - a huge part of the field is on a slope and I don’t sleep well when rolling about! I went to the smaller field which was lovely and pitched up in the corner by the horses and with a view over the valley - lovely. One group of families who decided playing music at nightclub volume was a nice way to enjoy the beauty of the nature and peace here, but each to their own I guess. The noise was never loud late so well within the rules. The showers are lovely. Great to have a fire. I picked up an 8 mile Alltrails hiking trail from the campsite which was handy too. I would return. Lovely site which is managed with care.

Weekend Trip to Penn Meadow Farm

We had a great weekend on the campsite, beautiful setting, lots of space to pitch your tent and have a camp fire. Great pub just down the road, only negative was the toilet/ shower block was sometimes quite busy but other than that I’d highly recommend and will be returning again in a few weeks!

3 nights at Freedom Farm Camping

This is a lovely rural campsite. We stayed for three nights, visiting Cambridge during the days and enjoying the nature and quiet when we got back to the tent. Facilities are clean and well-designed. The owners are very friendly and were quick to help when when we couldn't find our firepit. A wonderful place to relax--recommended.

1 night at Freedom Farm Camping

really great campsite, feels like you're away from everything, no road noise at all. Beautiful farm and the sauna was such an added win. We'll defo be back

Weekend Trip to Penn Meadow Farm

I love that camping it was great the facilities were impressive and the view was amazing definitely I coming back

Weekend Trip to Penn Meadow Farm

The campsite was fab! We were greated by two of the farm dogs that came with a ball in their mouth and the kids (3, 8 and 11 year olds) loved playing with them. They loved exploring the surroundings, discovering the goats, sheep, pigs and alpacas, it was great to have the woods for a walk too! they also loved the pile of hay bales to climb on! The facilities were great, showers were good and had good pressure, although there will be a queue if you camp on a bank holiday! Toilets were good and clean too and the little kitchen was a bonus! We had our own kitchen but it was great to be able to boil some water to add to the dishes before washing up and if ours had failed like it did once in the past we would still had been able to cook. I liked that there was rubish and recycling disposal too. All in all we had a great time and will definitely consider going back and recommend it to friends and family (only reason I wouldn't is because I want to explore so many other places and I might not have time to go back! haha) Thank you x

Weekend Trip to Penn Meadow Farm

We loved the site, and my son adored playing with the resident sheep dogs (who were impeccably behaved) the showers were lovely although more sinks would be useful to prevent queues for the loos with showers and basins when the camp site is busy. Free tea and coffee was a great touch and plenty of space! My son was enthralled by the owners motorbikes and they very kindly let him sit on them. They made his weekend! The only down side was the free roaming dog of another camper who wasn't paying attention to where their dog was and he stole food from the kids and wasn't being cleaned up after. I realise this is not the site owners fault but did impact on our enjoyment as we couldn't work out who the dog's owner was to speak to them.

1 night at Buttles Farm Campsite

The campsite is lovely tidy. The views were spectacular. The toilets and showers were great. A must stay. Will stay again.

1 night at Buttles Farm Campsite
