Manor Farm Catthorpe Reviews

highly recommended

super clean, excellent site. I loved the tower Bell in the background. Will definitely come again. highly recommended

Lovely little site with friendly staff

The first thing that struck me was how friendly and helpful the staff were, it really showed through our stay. The site is clean and quiet, with a really nice view, that was perfect for relaxing. There is also a farm shop and cafe on site. Both of which I would recommend. They are full of locally sourced products. There is a pub 2 mins away which was also great for a pint and some food, great staff there too. I would recommend this site and will undoubtedly visit again.

Thank you Gavin! It was a pleasure to accomodate you and the boys, I hope they enjoyed themselves. Really pleased you enjoyed staying here and we'll see you again soon (please bring the sunshine with you again!)

Lovely little find in the country

Very friendly welcome. Lovely farm shop over the road and nice pub 2 minutes walk away. Big pitch, plenty of room and quiet at night. Only downside was the clock chiming through night but will bring ear plugs next time 😬 Nice and clean, perfect for a couple of nights and plus side of having a fire pit.

First camping trip

Lovely peaceful site with large pitches. Toilets and showers very clean. Dog friendly. Only negative was the chiming clock throughout the night every hour and half hour. Would have been fine if turned off from midnight to 8am.

Thanks for leaving a review Marie, we're so glad you like our site. Our clock tower doesn't have an off switch I'm afraid; it's an old, traditional chiming clock, it just keeps going! Hopefully the rest of the site and your stay was enjoyable enough to still return? Thanks.

Really lovely campsite, friendly staff, clean facilities, peaceful, good size pitches

Stated in title, friendly staff, peaceful, clean, easy to find

Wonderful, farm shop and tea room are lovely

Wonderful stay. Really helpful owners, nothing was too much trouble. The farm shop and tea room opposite the campsite do amazing homemade food and the staff in there are lovely. The farm shop sells all local produce and a great GF selection too. The pub is within walking distance, but only opens Friday and Saturdays generally. Farm shop hires fire pits etc. One toilet and one shower on the field, but we didn't use the facilities as we have our own. Beautiful village and ideal lanes for cycling as it's quiet. Due to the rain we had, the field was muddy but when a van got stuck, the farmer came with his tractor and towed out - again all part of the friendly service. We would def recommend and will go back.

Great site in a small village!

Great site in a small village! Just want you want if you want to get away from it all. There is a cafe/restaurant run by the site just across the road, had an amazing breakfast there. They also have a fabulous farm shop with everything you would need. The toilet and showers were super clean and very modern, even had a heater in there for those colder days. The village has a lovely pub just a couple of minutes walk from the site offering good food and drink, well worth a visit if staying on the site. We will be back for sure many times more. Highly recommended.

Lovely Site!

A lovely site with really kind, friendly and helpful staff. There are some nice walks around the village of Catthorpe, for example, walks to the remains of Motte & Bailey castle at Lilbourne and a second castle mound just outside Lilbourne. The site has a farm shop, café, etc and the Cherry Tree pub in the village is brilliant (good food, beer and atmosphere). We will return!

Thanks for this lovely review Peter. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us (even if it was wet!). We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Lovely place

The first trip in our new (to us) motorhome. Lovely welcome, all staff were friendly and helpful. The café just across the road was wonderful for breakfast and the farm shop was amazing. I came back with loads of goodies from there including freshly picked fruit and veg and lovely looking meat. There's a nice pub within walking distance in this quaint village and it's well located to several main roads. There are only two toilets/showers, but it's a small site and they were very clean and modern. A bit on the expensive side, but we loved it and will definitely be back.

What a lovely review Laura, thank you. We are so pleased you enjoyed your visit to us...see you again soon!

Perfect!

We only stayed one night on this campsite. We were made very welcome. Didn't use facilities as we are self-sufficient, but had a nosey and they were lovely and clean! Absolutely fab farm shop and adjoining cafe, which we will definitely use next time we stay!

Site's response

Thanks Carla- what a great review! We are looking forward to welcoming you again soon....and yes you really must try the food/cake in the Farmhouse Kitchen! Thank you

Excellent location and site

I would have liked to speak to someone out of hours, but it wasn't a problem. Lovely, clean location and space.

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Kate. We're so pleased you found our site to be clean and that you like the location. We are always available out of hours by phone if you need anything and can pop down to the site if needed. We hope to see you again soon.

Second visit in two weeks

Great site to visit, shop and kitchen were first class - a must. The sausages are first class, so much so, I bought two packs to take home with me. The staff are above and beyond amazing. The site itself is very clean and tidy, showers and toilets were spotless. There are two shops as you come out on the left and are well worth a visit. The two ladies in charge are very friendly and helpful. There's a pub a short walk from the site which looks really nice, but only opens Wednesday to Sunday. We'll be back again without a doubt.

Site's response

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, Derrick - we're glad you got to enjoy our farm shop and kitchen (especially the sausages!) this time! See you again soon, we hope!

Enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed our stay, staff very accommodating and friendly, would go again but would have to be Tuesday to Sunday as there was a shop which doesn't open on Monday which was a shame. I try to book places that has a shop and café so we can get something to eat and was looking forward to breakfast Monday morning, but we were told that the Cherry Tree Pub was not open on Mondays which was disappointing. Knowing this, we may have booked later in the week. We would have loved to visit the other shop on site, The Pink Peony, but this wasn't open on Monday and coming away on Tuesday, it didn't seem to be open either. We would have liked to have known more before we booked.

Site's response

Thanks for taking time to leave feedback Derrick. Our farm shop and the farmhouse kitchen are open 7 days a week, so not sure what happened when you visited? The pub in the village isn't open Mondays and Tuesdays you are right, but we do serve food including breakfasts 9-3 everyday! We do have 2 other shops onsite that don't open on Mondays either (florist/gift shop and interiors shop). With them being small family businesses, they don't open 7 days a week. I'm really pleased that you enjoyed your stay and found our staff to be friendly and accommodating though. We hope you will still visit us again!

Nice basic site

Lovely campsite

Lovely campsite with a great farm shop and restaurant next door. Very clean showers and toilets but could possibly do with a couple more toilets, especially during busy weekends. We will definitely be back again.

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Robert. We have taken note of your suggestion for more toilets and it is definitely something we are going to look into. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay - we hope to see you again soon!

Thank you for the great review Heather it means a lot to us. We hope to see you again soon!

Touring caravan

Absolutely loved this site, want to come back ASAP. Owner was so nice, we were accidently put on a bit of a hill with our caravan, but she offered to help if we got stuck. We didn't but was so nice to know they would help if we needed it. It did effect our gas a little as it was as level as we could get it on the slope, but we managed and next time I will simply ask for a pitch nearer the top. Loved it.

Site's response

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review - we're so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. Very happy to allocate you one of the pitches at the top/side of the site that are flatter for your next visit!

Manor Farm was excellent

Do I really need to say more?

Site's response

Amazing thank you so much Chris!

Nice place

Friendly staff, lovely shop, nice place for a view. Was our last stopover before giving the rented van back. Small friendly intimate campsite with lovely on site farm shop with brilliant views to look out onto. Peaceful at night.

Thank you Rachel - we're so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us before you had to return your campervan! We do love the view from the site - very relaxing isn't it!
