Absolutely beautiful place to stay. Incredible views and just a short walk to Blue Anchor Bay, where you can catch a steam train to other destinations. 100% recommend staying here. We cannot wait to come back! Thank you!

Thank you for writing such a lovely review, Steffany. Blue Anchor is a lovely little gem of a place, far from the crowds. The views, the beach and the railway make it a unique and wonderful environment and we are glad you loved it as much as we do :) We hope you come back again for another visit soon. Lisa.

It's quite hard to put into words how much we truly enjoyed our stay. Everything was so lovely from start to finish. On arrival we were greeted by Lisa who showed us around and settled us in to our beautiful bell tent, which was fenced off to other campers in their own tents located in a field opposite. The area was shared with two other bell tents and had a shared fire pit overlooking a small fresh water stream and open field. In the distance, you can see the steam trains passing by and on a clear day, you can also see the sea. It's worth waking up early in the morning and opening the tent doors where you can see the beautiful sunrise right from your cosy double bed. The bell tents also have a wood burner stove, which helps keep you warm overnight. It also allows you to make a cup of tea or hot chocolate, which was kindly supplied in a welcome package along with milk and some tasty home made short bread biscuits. Everything about this trip felt so perfect and the hosts did their best to accommodate for our every need.

Absolutely beautiful campsite, very welcoming and a short walk to the beach which was just lovely, and you can jump on the steam train to different destinations. The views were just stunning and it's so peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back! Thank you!

Lovely, quiet site. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. The Compost toilet was surprisingly easy to use, comfortable and clean. They have a new stand pipe for water which isn't drinking water yet. However, it was explained from the start and they gave us a five litre bottle of branded spring water, which was plenty for the two nights we stayed. Lovely location and it was nice to watch the steam trains go past. We stayed at the top of the field and enjoyed the sea view too! We'll definitely return.

Lovely quiet camping field with plenty of space. Compost loo was in good working condition & very clean. It's simple with no showers, but that's what we expected - it was perfect for a quiet couple of nights camping in our bell tent, dog-friendly too :). Thank you Marshwood Copse, we hope to return next year.

Lisa was very welcoming, Marshwood Copse was a perfect location and beautifully set up! The copse was very peaceful, we heard barn owls at night and woke to the wonderful sound of birdsong in the morning. Highly recommend for a relaxing break!

Thank you for taking the time to give us such a lovely review. We have more owls than ever this year, I think they are coming to check out what's happening in the copse and who the new occupants are :) I am really happy you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again. All the best. Lisa

Amazing, the weather wasn't great, but Lisa went out of her way to add extra touches to make our stay so good. The bell tents are stunning, cosy and the beds so comfy. The location was exactly what we wanted and I really can't say enough about how lovely our stay was. Will definitely be rebooking 😊

Fantastic site, bell tents were in a really lovely wooded area. They were really spacious and the bed was so comfy! The fire was a great touch and the kids had a great time playing in the secluded wood. Location is fantastic - 10 minute walk from the beach. Would definitely stay again.
