Sweet Hill Farm Reviews

Best weekend away for the whole family

Great location with mesmerising views.

Perfect

What a lovely place to stay. Super friendly staff. Loads of room to camp. Showers. Excellent. Had a massage on site from the lovely Michala. The best massage. Great value. Close to local pub 10min walk. Great sunsets and the rest your have to work out for yourself. I'm definitely coming back.

Little gem at the south of Weymouth

Stayed 4 nights at this lovely little campsite. Very clean, with staff who cannot do enough for you. Showers are chargeable, which for the price I paid (I have been at other campsites where hot showers are included) it's not the best, and they aren't that great when you use them so bare that in mind. If you have a horse mad little one then is is a brilliant place for you, waking up and seeing horses in the field next to you made my nieces dream come true! There aren't enough bins on the site (only one by the main entry) which can be quite full so not ideal. Not located by a beach! There is a coastal path but no access to the beach itself, even if it was, it's full of pebbles. We were camping next to the yurts which had children from a scout or school which is fine, not when it's 6.30 in the morning and they are shouting across the field, or stood by your tent in the afternoon and swearing, looking into your tent and invading the privacy. Mentioned to the staff with the children, but was completely ignored. However, apart from this, we had a very pleasant week. Would I return again? Probably not as I could get more facilities for the same price elsewhere but I don't regret staying. Oh, and if you have slight concerns about your tent in windy conditions, it won't stand here. We only had 40mph gusts but being right by the coast meant it hit the tent pretty hard, and at times, was doubtful it would stay up. All in all, a great little site. Well looked after and the staff were absolutely amazing and very friendly.

A little peace of heaven

What a beautiful, peaceful spot. easy going atmosphere, the most stunning views, a nice café (try the mushroom brew and the avo-go-go), basic but clean facilities (electric outlets that can be used for charging phones at the shower block and the café, cold showers, 3 minute hot showers with a 1 pound token). Shop and pub in the village at walking distance. Same for Porland Bill. As an extra bonus: you can get an on-site massage by Michala. Therapies in the sun, with a cooling breeze, from the golden hands of a warm-hearted lady, surrounded by vivid colours and nature sounds ... Highly recommend, both the campsite and the massage

The best location with stunning views!

Wish we could give 10 stars. Really well kept site, great staff and facilities. Will definitely be back!

Amazing views

Amazing views and great coffee at the cafe. No complaints, we loved our stay :)

Lovely location

Delightful setting and location with lots of space. Showers were fine (they sell you one token for 3 minutes of hot water so buy plenty). The only negatives for me were that there was not even one single tap for hot water for washing up on the entire site and even more notably, the loos are just portaloo cabins dotted around which were hideous and stinking. I'm talking day 3 of a festival type of thing. Truly appalling to the point you'd make yourself ill holding it in rather than use one even for a quick wee. I'm saying that as a veteran of festivals for decades. I'd really love to recommend the site but for families with young children or for those with a sensitive disposition, I'd advise against it.

Beautiful setting, terrible loos

Unfortunately, the toilets really let this lovely site down. Advertised as compost loos but they were portaloos which were not cleaned daily and absolutely stank. We were there 4 nights and they were only cleaned on our last morning. The liquid in the flush smelt really old, I have used portaloos many times over the years and they don't need to be disgusting. That would prevent me recommending or revisiting.

Site's response

Hi Rosemary, thank you for your review. We're really pleased you enjoyed the setting here at Sweet Hill Farm. We're sorry to hear you were disappointed with the toilet facilities. We have tried to explain to all guests checking in that, due to a breakdown with our tractor, we were unable to return the compost toilets to the field as we usually would. As a temporary measure, we've had to rely on portaloos instead. These are emptied twice a week and cleaned and checked regularly, so we're very sorry this wasn't your experience — and we'll be reviewing our cleaning schedule to ensure it doesn't happen again. We completely understand that facilities are important, and we're currently submitting a planning application for a purpose-built toilet block to accompany our lovely showers for next season. We're a small, family-run site and continually working to improve while staying as low-impact and wild as possible. Thank you again for your feedback, Charlotte - Sweet Hill Farm.

Perfect stay

The campsite is almost wild camping so if you are expecting luxury toilets then don't come here. Porta loos, showers and water are provided on site as well as electric hook up which was the icing on the cake. A big area to pitch our tent and can park next to it. There is a cafe, but we only used it for some drinks. Saturday night was a bonus as live bands were playing and the atmosphere was great. We made some new friends. The staff are really helpful, the area so lovely and a great base to explore the rest of the Jurassic Coast. We had a great stay and would definitely stay again. Thank you, Alina & Steve

Great campsite

Great place with stunning views and close enough to shops/pubs/restaurant that it’s within a 10-15min walk. Entertainment on Saturday night was a nice touch. We also tried the spa facilities which Dan runs and he was very tentative.

I’d come back

Lovely views and great facilities. The staff were incredibly friendly.

Beautiful place to stay

Had such a lovely time staying here. Facilities were brilliant, very peaceful and gorgeous scenery. 100% recommend and 100% will be staying again.

Excellent

This is a nearly wild site and is just that. Fresh drinking water and hot showers are the only main amenities. (As advertised). Showers were lovely and hot, and clean! It's in a stunning location, sea views all around. Pitches were great, plenty of room. Fire pits very reasonable to hire, with wood etc available. Direct access to stunning coastal walks, lighthouse, horse riding. We had a fab stay.

Great stay

This is a lovely campsite. Clean, quiet and great location. Will definitely recommend and will come again.

A great campsite that makes you feel out in nature!

I would recommend this campsite to anyone that doesn't mind being out in nature with minimal facilities. The showers are great and warm, and at £1 for a few minutes, they are seem good value. The toilets were a down side, with 1 compost toilet that was fine, and portaloos that in our case were not clean. However, we were told that they were thinking of putting toilets in the field, this would be a great idea. The location is amazing, great views and walks nearby and a short walk to the pubs. The cafe is a nice touch and all the staff we talked to were very friendly. It was also lovely seeing all the farm animals. If we are down in the Weymouth area again, we will be back!

Lovely staff, views & animals

This is a rural site with pigs, goats & horses. It is peaceful. Bring wellies if it's wet, as it can muddy. Lovely helpful staff. You can purchase tea, coffee & cake. Good, hot showers paid for with tokens.

Beautiful location

Really lovely location, beautiful walks and views. Says they don't allow big same sex groups, however we were kept awake most of the night by a big group who were drinking and being very loud. We don't have a problem usually but we booked this because we thought it would be quieter.

Great location

A great spot overlooking the Portland Bill lighthouse. It is a working farm, with lots of animals to look at and peaceful, with a festival/wild camping vibe. Such a lovely place.

Almost wild

Awesome showers. Great views across Portland.

Tranquil and Friendly campsite

We stayed here for 3 nights at the end of August, it was quiet, and the view of the sea was great. It was lovely fresh air, the local bus was 5 minutes down the road and run every 15 minutes into Weymouth, which is very handy. The site had coin-operated hot showers and plenty of toilets, and it had a kiosk where you could buy hot or cold filled rolls and hot or cold drinks. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and we will definitely return to this site in the future.

A fantastic place to stay

What an absolutely wonderful place to stay. It was a pleasure to meet the family running the site. They have created a truly special place. Loved the live music over the bank holiday weekend. Cannot wait to come back 🙌🏻☺️🫶🏻

Windy but great

It's a very nice campsite. Very friendly, views are great. A bus 10 minutes away to Weymouth. Last bus back 11.35pm. 15 minutes walk to Portland Bill Lighthouse. I'd recommend this site. 👌 Plus, use the showers at non-peak times. It's solar power, so when lots use the showers are hit or miss. But luxury when not busy.

Just perfect

My daughter and I spent a glorious 3 night pitched in Mollie's Meadow with a campervan called Poppy! From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and at ease. The café staff were so friendly and kind, especially when our gas ran out and the hook-up for our van failed (our fault not theirs!). The views from the site are mind-blowingly beautiful and the sunrise/sunsets were just stunning. We walked along the South West Coast path from the site down to Portland Bill and along to Church Ope Cove - a gorgeous secluded cove. The facilities are really good onsite, especially the showers and we found the compost toilets very unsmelly and in fact, really clean. We loved the café with its selection of hot and cold drinks and the barbecue on Saturday evening was proper tasty and a lot of fun. One of the best features of the site was the animals. The free roam sheep and the gorgeous pigs were our favourites.

Relaxed calm

This is a basic site for those of us who love simplicity. The toilets are long drop dunnies, but they are fine. This is just a beautiful place to be peaceful.
