Lonely Farm

Gostou: Location, adults only, peaceful site. Plenty of wildlife, great bird spotting. We were camping and had the whole camping field to ourselves

Não gostou: Facilities appalling. Shower room cubicles, washing facilities all need a major upgrade or re-build. No recycling bins available, three/four huge overflowing waste bins some with bedding/duvets were present throughout our stay (mon-fri) . The weekly sheet to welcome arrivals hadn't been updated since 4th May. Spoke to someone who confirmed our booking but had impression it wasn't really his job to help. From then, we were on our own, we did see two staff gardening but they didn't make eye contact or acknowledge us

Gostou: The site location was perfect for visiting the surrounding area. The area was very peaceful, we were a bit concerned about the possibility of noise from the caravan park but this didn't occur, maybe because it is early in the season. The use of a microwave and toaster was a nice touch, especially as we were in a tent with limited cooking facilities. Re the previous reviews, the boiler had now been fixed and the potholes in the drive filled! The Poacher's Pocket nearby serves amazing food and definitely worth a visit.

Não gostou: The toilets and washrooms could have been cleaner. The soap dispenser in both the gents and ladies loo was empty for the week and there were no hand towels for much of the time. Whilst a mop was provided to clean the shower cubicles after use, it was dry with no water/cleaner in the mop bucket so you were basically wiping the floor with dirt from the previous use. There was leaking pipe work in the washrooms and laundry room. The outside bins by the washroom area were overflowing (with rubbish from the caravan site?) and it was disappointing that there was no facility to separate rubbish for recycling. We stayed for a week and during that time didn't see any staff for the campsite, either checking guests were okay or that all was well on site. I appreciate that during low season the facilities may not need to be cleaned daily but during the week we were staying we didn't see any staff checking the washrooms etc and if they did they failed to notice the empty soap dispensers! We dont mind a basic site, we have stayed at quite a few, but they have all been clean and hygenic. We are regular campers and used to being self sufficient. If this was our first experience of camping we would have been very disappointed. If the site is to continue as a camping/touring site it needs some tlc.

Gostou: Nothing

Não gostou: Our pitch was flooded and so we had to go to a hard standing by the bins, which was used as a laundry depot for the main site. All the other pitches were also very boggy. No hand soap or paper towels in ladies or hairdryer point. All in very poor condition overall

Não gostou: I’m sad to say that Lonely Farm has significantly deteriorated. We have been visiting for ten plus years. We stayed 5th April 2024 there were no staff to help with pitch allocation, there was no updated pitch allocation printout. The outbuildings appear to be used to store dirty laundry from Carlton Meres which is left out in view in basket trolleys not a pleasant sight. The large commercial bins are overflowing. There was no hot water as the boiler had broken down The wash rooms are grubby, the floors had not been cleaned. The toilets were the same. The entrance driveway is covered in deep potholes. It’s really sad to see what was a lovely friendly place to visit has been effectively abandoned. We booked two nights but stayed one.
