Hobby Farm Reviews

Excellent

It was a very peaceful campsite. With clean toilets and showers, a lovely place. Wish we'd known there was a fridge/freezer to use! We only discovered it on the last day!

Rural, rustic & relaxing

Very happy with our choice of campsite, we had a fairly private spot, the views were amazing and was impressed a huge fridge freezer was provided to keep everything cold. It was rustic but new and clean and I would not hesitate to recommend this adult only site. It was right up our street. So peaceful on an evening and a fire pit was provided for each pitch with wood to buy if needed. Perfect. Thank you for a fab stay, will be back.

Stunning and quiet location

Beautiful location, so peaceful and quiet. It's so rare to get a campsite without traffic noise. All we could hear was birdsong and the buzz of bumblebees. Good washing up facilities and 2 clean toilet cubicles with wash basins. 2 showers separate.1 bathroom with shower and toilet combined. Small site so no queuing for the loos. Only one downside was that not all the showers had hot water consistently. I ended up with a cold shower on morning one. However, the first shower in the row, after the wash up station worked with warm water every time I used it. I recommend changing in your tent/camper as the 2 shower rooms in the main block are on the small side. I'll bring a bathrobe next time! A really lovely stay.

Quiet and pretty location

Overall, the stay was really lovely. Very easy to drive up and pick any spot to camp up. Small but secluded location and facilities were good. I would just say that a big seller for us was the inclusion of fire pits. When we arrived, it was actually first come, first serve and we didn't have one. Luckily, someone didn't need theirs and so we didn't miss out but would have been really disappointed if we had. I would make that clearer and also that it's cash only if needing to buy extra wood at the site. The campsite is close to Bridport and shops though if needing supplies.

Lovely, peaceful campsite

Our second time staying here and even better than the first! Such a tranquil location - the only noises are the wildlife and sometimes the church bells from the nearby village. Great amenities and all our neighbours were quiet - people who come here seem to like the same things. Pitches are a good size - our awing fitted with ease. Firepits were available. The shower block was always clean. An easy walk into the village with the pub (yet to visit). An easy drive to Lyme Regis and Seatown (The Anchor - highly recommended). We can't wait to come again.

Excellent site

Great facilities in an excellent location. A great site at a competitive price, would recommend.

Badgers Retreat

Lovely place to escape to. Idyllic scenery and an abundance of nature and wildlife. A very relaxing break. The shepherds hut had everything we needed.

First time camping

Had a great first time camping. Lovely clean facilities and quiet campsite. People were friendly and would definitely come back again.

Beautiful view

The access to the field is a bit tight and some back and forth with other vehicles, so just take your time. Having said that, the remote location delivers a great view. Three showers, one of which was in pieces so a cold shower for hubby from that cubicle, but I used a different one and it was lovely and hot.

Overnight stay

Very simple to book, great value in a lovely location, love being able to pick our pitch on arrival. Only 14 pitches, which makes the site very peaceful. The facilities are very simple but ideal, I would suggest a mop being available in the combination shower facility as I felt guilty leaving the floor dirty after showering. Excellent pub just 7 minutes walking, lovely staff, friendly locals with good food and drinks options. We will be back.

Late May stay

The site was quiet and peaceful in a beautiful setting with the pond and trees. Facilities were kept clean and other campers were respectful.

Lovely Shepherds Hut in a very quiet setting

Lovely cozy little Shepherds Hut in a very quiet setting overlooking a lovely pond Really nice 2 night stay in the Badgers Shepherds Hut. Quiet, tranquil and comfortable. I wasn't sure how to connect to the Wi-Fi and a few more hooks and shelf space for coats, food and toiletries would have been great. But, overall such a nice, relaxing time and a lovely space.

Fantastic place

Amazing little campsite. Good facilities. Wonderful location. Lots of wildlife. The owners are very nice and friendly.

Amazing will be back!

Absolutely excellent - easy to locate, quiet and clean! Will be back :) Thank you!

Beautiful shepherds hut and surrounds

Beautiful shepherds hut with a private toilet and shower in lovely grounds. We had a lovely and relaxing 2 nights, thank you :-)

Idyllic and peaceful site

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay here. It was so quiet and relaxing. The facilities are clean and very nice. The showers were great, and there is a fridge freezer too. There are wonderful views and the village nearby is beautiful. It's just 5 mins walk. Lyme Regis is an easy drive away. We will be back !

Lovely little site

Quiet and intimate with a beautiful view over the countryside. Nice showers and little washing up area. Pub nearby, which was ok but nothing to write home about. Logs and burner box provided for £5, which was a nice touch.

Very quiet

Very quiet and clean. Loved it.

Chillax for adults only

Needed a place to chillax away from kids, I do love kids too though! Hot showers, toilets, flat pitches, even fridge/freezer. This is all I need to set my tent and chill. Lyme Regis / Bridport is about 15 to 20 mins drive. Bought some seafood from the local fishmongers and did a BBQ - perfect!

Our first time in a campervan

Would be nice to have a hook to hang your towel in the toilets - otherwise, perfect for what we wanted.

Simply wonderful

This site is probably not for everyone, but I have given it 5* throughout because for those it does suit, it is magical. A small site down a very narrow road, into a large grassy field surrounded by breathtaking scenery. There are three showers and toilets in a small purpose built block which are immaculate, wash up facilities and waste disposal (but no play park for children.) The village is just a ten minute walk away, no shops, but a super pub. For the first five minutes I wasn't sure and then I melted into it and was really sorry to have to leave. Will definitely return.

A lovely site but a few things need attention

A lovely location but there are a few things requiring attention in the shepherd's hut. A dinner plate was chipped, resulting in a cut finger whilst washing it up (see picture below). There was only 1 chair on the decking, and this had a broken/missing slat, and the smoke detector had been removed. In addition, being on the short side, it would be really helpful to have a small step to aid getting in and out of the raised bed.

Site's response

We are really sorry that you experienced these things (especially the cut finger) but now that we are aware of the broken chair and chipped plate, we have ordered a new table set and plates which will arrive later today. Thank you for pointing these things out to us.

Disappointing

Very few flat areas to park, it seemed to be a free for all. Shower started hot then went cold. Disappointed and won't be returning.

Site's response

We're sorry you didn't enjoy your stay and do indicate that the camping field is not a bowling green. We are a rural site of just 14 pitches in 3 acres and very surprised you couldn't find suitable place to pitch and we have 4 showers to choose from..

Just wonderful

Site was quiet and very peaceful despite there being several other campers. The vista was lovely and we enjoyed sunshine and birdsong throughout our stay. Showers were free, clean and warm. Toilets clean too. Exactly what we wanted, would happily recommend.

Peaceful and relaxing

Lovely stay!! Great location close to beaches and countryside walks. Campsite has separate pitches, bathrooms with hot showers, kitchens with sinks and hot taps and communal fridges. Easy to find and choice of spot on arrival. Will visit again 😊
