Andrea's Farm Breaks is Keepers Hut glamping accommodation run alongside a working farm campsite in the heart of Purbeck. Andrea is pleased to offer a little luxury for those who want to camp at Downshay Farm in a comfortable bed. Farm is a working farm in the heart of the Isle of Purbeck, ideally located for exploring the stunning World Heritage Site coastline. The Pike family has farmed here since 1956. The farmhouse is largely Victorian although parts of the house and some farm buildings are much older. The accommodation looks out over the lovely views of Corfe Castle and the Purbeck Hills. The seaside town of Swanage is just over 4 miles away as are the sandy beaches of Studland Bay. Local footpaths and Swanage Steam Railway also make exploring Purbeck easy, and we are a few minutes’ walk from Harmans Cross Station. Enjoy the sandy beaches of Shell Bay, Studland and Swanage or go rock pooling or fossil hunting at Kimmeridge Bay. The Coastal Path will take you along the coast to Durlston Country Park, Dancing Ledge and Winspit. The deserted village of Tyneham and its own bay is a short drive away, then follow the scenic road over the Ranges to Lulworth and Durdle Door. Local attractions include Monkey World and Bovington Tank Museum, and a walk through the RSPB bird sanctuary at Arne to Poole Harbour is recommended.

A decent striped back camp field. On the doorstep of Holt Heath which made dog walking a breeze.
Visited out of season so I was the only tent camper for the weekend although there seem to be some residents on site.
Did get awoken when one resident came returned to the site at midnight and talking quite loud there on.
But otherwise a nice overnight.

Loved the area, nice secluded spot and was not disturbed at any point, the rangers were lovely and offered an extra bag of wood for us on our second night.

We absolutely loved our stay at Villager at Southover Woods. It really felt like we were completely off-grid and tucked away in our own little part of the woods.
We were lucky enough to have an incredibly peaceful stay and didn't see another soul the entire time we were there. It may feel a little different when the other pitches are occupied, but for us it felt wonderfully secluded and private.
The wildlife was one of the highlights. We saw an owl and could hear the owls calling through the woods at night, as well as seeing bats, a fox and plenty of squirrels. Sitting surrounded by the trees and listening to the sounds of the woods was such a lovely experience.
If you're looking to switch off, get back to nature and experience proper woodland camping, this place is a little hidden gem. We came away feeling completely relaxed and would definitely return. 🌲🦉🍄✨️

A really well kept and thoughtfully set up campsite. Excellent compost loos, lovely ladies managing the site.We stayed in Oak Tree Field. It's a huge space with no nooks and crannies for camping in so doesn't feel very initimate. Everyone staying on the site was super friendly which isn't always the case...it draws a good type of camper who really looks after stuff. The washing up area was always left spotless. Not always hot water in showers as some solar though the electric ones were nice and again very clean. Only negatives were it's location in an emergency.. we had to call the RAC while there and it was really hard to get the location info to them! Also phone signal on EE is non existent...vodafone seesm better. Just for those of you not lucky enough to be able to not answer work/elderly parents calls. Would definitely return!

Being Bank Holiday it was very busy but enjoyed my stay. Its a good location, 15min walk down to Stockbridge, yes its by an A road but it wasn't noisy and I was parked close to the gate. Facilities were amazing and clean and loved the little shed to do your washing up in. Bonus for me was the dog wash at the top of the field - my dog decided this weekend was the first time she wanted to roll in cow poo!!! Super simple campsite with all you need for a carefree stay. Will be back :)

We had a lovely few days camping at Primrose Fields Campsite. The field was large and quiet - plenty of space - pretty woods nearby with nice woodland trails - great location near Wareham in Dorset (Lulworth Cove, Corfe Castle and the Isle of Purbeck all within easy reach) and a friendly team running the campsite - the showers, loos and wash areas were kept very clean!

The site was amazing. Facilities were lovely and clean, I loved how the sinks were old bathroom sinks, the showers were in their own little areas, the ability to choose your own area, the direct access on to miles of woodland walks… couldn’t fault it, just a shame the weather wasn’t a bit nicer!!

So much space!! Toilets and showers so clean, shower was always hot and loved the feeling of showering outside (privately)! 😂
Lots of children so my lot were entertained all week. Took a day trip to durdle door / Lulworth cove, well worth it.
Walk to the ford and then onto the walled garden and cafe filled a day.
Little shop for milk and ice cream is a nice touch. Can also freeze your ice blocks
Would highly recommend :-)

I absolutely loved being on Christina’s beautiful Field at Primrose Fields - such a warm and friendly welcome and Christina’s warmth and kindness radiates through the whole campsite and adds such positive energy to the experience- the adjacent wood is a wonderful place to explore and walk and spot the Sika deer- close by is a bus stop which services swanage, corfe, Durdle Door, Lulworth, the Blue Pool, Wareham - all the beautiful places nearby - I will definitely be returning- a truly lovely clean, tidy, peaceful campsite with a wonderful hostess
