Flowerdew Farm Reviews

Fantastic - nice place to stay and very friendly staff

Fantastic place to stay, very friendly staff and good spot to camp. Near a great beach called Hive Cove, if you get a chance to visit, I would highly recommend. Would definitely recommend the site and stay again.

Thank you, Seb. We really enjoyed hosting you and hope to see you again in the future, you were brilliant guests.

Perfect getaway

A peaceful, tranquil and beautiful campsite. Friendly and helpful. Clean facilities. Just the perfect weekend 🧡

Awesome

Really enjoyable stay at Flowerdew with Claire, the alpaca's and goats. The wellness sessions are a must!

A wholesome experience

This is a lovely spot with great facilities. Clair is most helpful. The shower works very well and is kept nice and clean. The animals add an extra dimension to the experience. Running a smallholding and tending land is not an easy task for one person, and it certainly gives something back to nature.

Aww thanks Rowan, you were wonderful guests and so glad you got to enjoy my fave shire walk, The Holloways. Hope to see you back at the farm in the future. x

Not yer average site, and all the better for it

We were just staying the one night and found this site online at an excellent price. I sensed it might be a little quirky. Small site, run by a charming woman who's clearly passionate about her site and all that comes with it. It's precisely the type of place we prefer; quiet, friendly, not commercialised in any any way. A bit of hippy chic and 80's traveller vibe, but clean! Plenty of communal space to share, lots of fairy lights around, plus the animals. If I was staying longer I'd have preferred to have been allowed to park my vehicle alongside the tent, as our cooking gear is built in and it would've been nice to use the awning. But as we only stayed the night, it wasn't an issue. We'll definitely use this place again, as it's more to our tastes than the more commercial offerings, even if they offer swimming pools and entertainment etc. Thanks for the stay.

We loved your awesome van! Love to have you back, wonderful guests and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. We absolutely promise to keep our eco more natural vibe going as giving back to nature is at the heart of what we do here at the farm. We can accommodate some cars onsite for special needs and disability, lets chat next time you want to come, to see what we can do. :0)

Such lovely guests, we hope you had a wonderful time and come again soon x

Beautiful campsite!

Loved this campsite - really small and intimate. Great for adults who want to camp as well as families. The facilities gave cute vibes. Shower was clean. Clare was really lovely! Bonus having the animals (llamas & goats) on site too, just makes it more special. Would 100% recommend - different experience from your typical campsite. Good location. Literally nothing to complain about had a lovely time here. Realised how much you don't need an electric camping pitch! They also have fire pits to hire for a small fee, which we did and was so lovely to have campfire.

Thank you for such a great review, it brings us so much joy to see our smallholding and animals and nature making everyone so happy. We cant wait for you to come and stay again x

Great eco-camping

My son and I spent two nights here and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Clare, the owner could not do enough for us, and my son loved the alpaca and goats experience. The site was clean and well ordered, and I really respected the real commitment to sustainable living, recycling, and low impact camping. Can't recommend this highly enough.

We loved having you visit and stay and hope to see you again at the farm.

Great weekend

Great weekend in rural surroundings just a few minutes drive from lovely beaches - and the Jurassic coast. We really liked being on this small campsite based on a low impact farm - eco values were a high prioity. Claire was a great host, gave us lots of local info and made us really welcome.

Site's response

Absolutely lovely guests and would very much love to host you again. Really enjoyed our beautiful Jurassic coast, and had the same ethos and appreciation for low-impact camping and sustainability and the need for more natural wild spots to camp and appreciate our nature and local wildlife and flora. Super clean and tidy and respectful to other campers, really hope to see you again in the future.

Great campsite!

We stayed here as a group of friends for a weekend and we had a great time! The host Claire is very accommodating and gave us plenty of recommendations on where to go/ eat. The campsite is located a short drive from the beach, which was great. The farm has the cutest goats and alpacas to look at. The facilities were simple but effective, they were clean and very eco-conscious which we appreciated. We rented a fire pit to have a barbecue which was great fun. Overall a very laid-back and relaxed trip and we would definitely stay again!
