Good weekend but poor toilets

Large Tent - Family Playground Field Non Electric Pitches (Field 4)Aug 2022

The facilities were great in that there were food services, bar services etc but the fast food (burger & chips stand) was ridiculously slow. She just could not cope with the amount of people and cooked on demand, which I felt didn't work. The pizza service was brilliant and very well organised. The toilet and shower facilities were a bit messy, and smelly. The toilets were blocked, ran out of toilet roll and hot water for showers and pit washing also ran out. Not enough showers to meet demand, with long queues and then no white water. My children had a lukewarm shower only once. This could do with improvement. The water pressure at the drinking water taps also dropped because of the demand. The toilets never smelled clean and of cleaning products, though staff were in there quite a bit. The bands and entertainment was excellent. The security could have done better at controlling the few people who forgot they were on a family camp site, not at Glastonbury at 2am. Apart from the toilets, showers, cleanliness and hot water issue everything else was great.

Great campsite!

We have stayed here many times and each year we are pleasantly pleased with the campsite! Clean, spacious, great location and amazing views from any area of the campsite. Very dog friendly which is a bonus, two pubs walking distance from the campsite and lovely walks all very close by. Staff are very helpful and friendly too! Would definitely recommend.

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesAug 2022

We've been going for many years and this year it was great to see that despite being the busiest ever, facilities were spotless, staff were friendly and helpful and the bands they put on for entertainment were great! It was good to do the Nine Ladies walk again and grab a few drinks in the Red Lion and Druid Inn.

It was our first visit to Barn Farm. Really enjoyed our stay this weekend. Great staff and always helpful.The only thing that I think should be improved is a bigger catering trailer as waiting for food took over half an hour, the food was good quality and friendly staff. I'm sure we will visit again next year.

Highly recommend

Great fun on bank holiday weekend. Our group loved the site! Loads to do with a pizza van, shop, park for the kids and own space for playing football/games and climbing in the trees. The boys loved the live music and the cocktails were very good. Would defo recommend. The only negative was the showers in one block were freezing then boiling. Also the toilet block smelt bad all weekend, probably just needed extra cleaning when busy. We'll be back next year

Fantastic stay again

After staying in 2021, when the site was quiet, we came bank holiday weekend and saw the site at a busy time. The staff were always on hand, friendly and helpful and the facilities were as clean as at quiet times. Have recommended to friends and family and will definitely be returning.

As someone who has never camped before, this park is incredible! You want for nothing, site is incredibly clean and the staff are brilliant. Pop up pizza cart and coffee shop are ace and the bank holiday weekend live music was an added bonus to what was a brilliant weekend. We are already looking for book back for next year!

Was a great weekend in a lovely location. My only complaint would be that I had a gentleman knocking on my shower door asking when I would be out. Wouldn't usually mind, but I'd only been in there 10 minutes.

Another amazing stay with friends

Absolutely fantastic campsite. The additional extras included as part of the bank holiday weekend were exceptional. From live bands to wood fired pizzas and the very lovely staff at the hot food van. This place goes from strength to strength each year we come.

Superb location and facilities

It's the third (and best) time we have stayed here in a group. The campsite is well organised and the facilities are clean and regularly maintained. The site is somewhat hilly so you have to be thoughtful when orienting your tent, but the views are amazing and the access to the moors for lovely walks and scenery is on your doorstep. Despite it being a BH weekend they don't overbook the fields, so there's plenty room. Perfect location.

Super stay

Great place. Customer service could be friendlier and more helpful, but otherwise it's a great location and a well run campsite.

Lovely pitches, very clean facilities and good park for children

A good set-up for children, not the most relaxing for adults

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches (Field 1)Aug 2022

We stayed in high summer and it was very popular with big family groups and young kids. It had a "festival" vibe and was pretty lively. They had visiting butty, coffee and pizza vans. The toilets were clean and the basic facilities were good. The shop was a bit disappointing as many campsite shops nowadays stock nice local produce, and this one doesn't. I thought the opening times were also erratic. The village itself is beautiful with walks starting directly from the campsite, and the food at the Red Lion was brilliant. It may be more peaceful at other times of the year but for those wanting a quiet countryside stay, this probably isn't it. Overall not for us, but great for many I'm sure.

Perfect Peak experience

We've been visiting Barn Farm for years. It's in an excellent location and has all the facilities you could wish for - whether you're an old hand or whether you're new to camping. We thought reception staff could be more welcoming, but the campsite as a whole is well looked after. We had a great time!

Very good experience

This is our first time camping and we have had a great experience. We found the facilities here are clean and the shower room is open 24 hours. Highly recommend, especially for the beginner.

Stayed for 5 nights with a 4 year old. Lovely site, plenty to do on site, games room, park outdoor games for children, shop, washing machine, fridge and freezers and even a sunbed to use. Lovely and clean toilets, showers and pot washing areas cleaned regularly. Plenty of local walks, 2 pubs within walking distance. Little one loved the peacocks and alpacas too.Will definitely be returning.

Excellent
