Our pitch was lovely with a great view. The shower and loo were clean and worked fine. The one reason why we would think twice before returning is the distance from car park, washing up area and store to our pitch. If we'd realised it was a long bumpy and exhausting trek with heavy stuff in a wheel barrow or cart, we would have picked a different pitch. All in all, we enjoyed our stay.
Site's response
Hi Nikki, many thanks for your review. We do pride ourselves in offering guests lots of space, unfortunately this does mean that some of the pitches are further from the facilities than others - Sunflower being one of the furthest ones away. We will try to make this clearer on the description. Despite this, we do hope that you enjoyed the stay and perhaps come again to one of the closer pitches, such as Blackcap or Bullfinch.

Things to do on site and in the Bridport area
During the busy summer months, the site run moth clubs for the guests on site. This has been a huge attraction, and one year they were able to identify over 200 different types of moth. There are also three pairs of barn owls on the farm and guests can be taken on guided 'owl prowls' where you might be lucky enough to see one.
Over four miles of walks are signposted on the farm as well as several walks to local pubs and a good three mile hike to the sea. If you however fancied driving instead, it is 15 minutes to both Seatown and Charmouth beaches, great for a day on the sand.
Other local attractions:
- National Trust Golden Cap (10 minutes)
- Tunnel Tree Tops Charmouth (15 minutes)
- Donkey Walking Adventures (20 minutes)
- Dinosaurland Fossil Museum (20 minutes)
- Forde Abbey House and Gardens (25 minutes)
