We had our first camping experience here and absolutely loved it! 3 large fields to choose from. 1 field has views of Corfe Castles and is close to all amenities (also a bit noisier as close to the main road). 2 other fields have both sloping and flat areas - slightly further away from the main road but no views of the Castle. We stayed in the field attached to the nearby farm so we had horses and donkeys around us which was great! We had bins and drinking water facilities near us. Toilets and showers clean with hot running water. This was definitely a big plus for us! They can be a bit of a walk away depending in which field you pitch in, but there are porta loos in the fields which was handy (especially at night!). Other amenities included a changing area and washing up facilities. You can hire wood logs and fire pits and on Saturdays a pizza truck stops by if you dont fancy cooking that night. Bins around too - waste & recycling. The people who run the site are really casual making it a very relaxed stay. Short walk from Corfe Castle town with some lovely walking routes all around. Keep an eye out for the steam train too! Reasonably priced. Looking forward to our next stay!

The location was excellent with beautiful views, close to Swanage, romantic castles and steam trains. The facilities were well kept, clean. A wonderful place to be. I felt I got a very good deal for the money I paid.

Amazing place, just a shame about the music complaint when other campers also had their music on quite loud. Everything else was perfect. Great facilities, awesome setting and views, nicely spread out from other campers.

We had a great stay the owners are lovely and very helpful. We had a pitch in the far field as it was a bit windy and we're not professional campers. Great location nice 20 minute walk through the fields to the village to avoid the main road. Toilets, Showers, Wash Basins all set up well. Would recommend

Accommodation is great. Warm, cosy and clean with private kitchen and bathroom. Also has free WiFi. The host Linda is very sweet and helpful. Unfortunately we went in the winter where the data were short and weather typical English- cold and gloomy. Had we come in the summer, the surroundings works have been just perfect! Many fields surrounding the area, dotted with sheep and livestock. Extremely peaceful. Close to Corfe Castle.

We stayed in one of the self-catering rooms in the farmhouse. The room is very spacious, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen area is adequate to prepare simple meals and is well stocked with utensils, pans, crockery, cutlery etc. It has an electric hob, microwave, and toaster. The bathroom is fine - clean, good shower, plenty of hot water. The views from our room - on the first floor - were lovely. The house is perfectly located for visits to Wareham, Swanage, Studland, and across the ferry to Poole. It is close to the RSPB site at Arne.

Amazing 6 nights here at this little farm. Linda was the perfect host, friendly, kind and made us an amazing breakfast every morning. Very knowledgable about the local area. Cannot say enough about the place. Our room was very quaint and had beautiful views outside the window. And even made friends with the local dogs on the farm
