Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: We had a wonderful return trip to Edwards Farm. Small back to basics site with lovely views and good sized pitches. Facilities are great with toilets, outdoor showers, a washing up area and a small field shelter which are always clean and tidy. Only a short walk up the hill to Shaftesbury and lots of good local walks from the campsite or within a short drive. Alex is a great host and communication was excellent, we were warned the field was rather wet and that there was a temporary issue with the hot water the day after we booked. This wasn't an issue for us but it was nice to know beforehand as other's may have let you get there first. This was our second trip here and we will definitely be back again!

Bell tent (wood-burning stove)
Liked: We stayed for 3 nights in the 6 man Bell tent with a wood burner. It was great not having to worry about pitching and striking a tent. Lovely site, tucked away in a corner of Dorset with amazing views across the countryside. Facilities are basic but kept clean and tidy. Alex is a great host providing extra information before we areived to help us find the site and popping over during out stay to make sure everything was OK. We'd planned to use the site as a base to do other things, but ended up changing plans so we could spend more time there to enjoy the views and some stargazing. Lots to do in the surrounding area, spent an afternoon in Shaftesbury visiting the Abbey and Gold Hill, its a steep hill to get there but not very far and plenty of pubs and cafes to reward yourself when you get there. We didn't have children with us so havent provided a rating and there is no WiFi, but data signal was fine when I needed it.

From the manager: Thanks for the lovely review and for being so speedy with it! Very much appreciated. You managed to pick the weather perfectly, arrived just after a storm and left before one. I could do with you booking every week, as a guarantee for others. Hopefully see you again. Best Alex

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: I loved the location and the layout of the camp. I absolutely loved the outdoor showers, I had 3 showers during our 2 night stay!! So perfect. The washing up area was nice and clean and I loved all the little touches, like the welcome leaflet, the firepit wall, the jars and tealights. The communication with Alex prior to arrival was amazing & so, so helpful. Thank you! Also the town if Shaftesbury is a 20 min walk and such a gorgeous town. Can't wait to stay again!
Disliked: Nothing

From the manager: Thanks so much for the review, and great artwork! I am getting a good collection from the season, as someone who can't even draw a stickman properly, I am always amazed at drawing and painting. Really glad you had a good time. Best Alex

From the manager: Thank you for the review. It was great to meet you both, and your lovely dogs. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip to the UK. Obviously Dorset is the best County, but I might be biased! Best Alex

Thank you

From the manager: It is a bit of a nook in the countryside, I like that. Thanks for pointing out that there is 4G around but that sometimes you need to find it. Some people love being off grid, others can not live with out it. But having choice is great. Thanks so much for the positive comments and great review. Best Alex
