From the manager: Good morning. Thank you for taking the time to review your stay here. We enjoyed having such a lovely crowd in for the spring bank holiday, I do wish you could have told us at the time that the water had stopped on the chemical disposal area as the tap and flush should have been working at all times. We had it all emptied and serviced just prior to the weekend but things can break down at times, so apologies for this. It was a lovely busy weekend and whilst the toilets and showers were cleaned a twice daily that area of the site did not get as much attention. We look forward to seeing you back again one day. Boveys Down Farm.

From the manager: We do have a very well organised cleaning rota to ensure the 8 toilets .basins .floors and bleached at least twice daily,this also applies to the showers. I personally do the 6am shifts & 10 am shifts over weekends and daily in school holidays. Sadly we didn't see a lot of you but would have enjoyed getting to know you down here on the farm.

Liked: The view was amazing! The location was perfect for us to get about, we visited Sidmouth and Lyme Regis and both were an easy drive away. The owners were amazing and so helpful, we managed to forget our tent pegs and they supplied us with some! So generous and lovely! There was a bar, so we were able to enjoy drinks in the sun, as well as the choice of food. The toilet block was in really good condition and clean! The sound of animals in the morning was just perfect - plus the cat on site was so adorable! Overall we loved our time there and will hopefully be back soon!

Liked: Wonderful campsite with the perfect amenities and more including fridge, freezer, microwave and washing machine! The hosts were fantastic, so friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely lovely people. Before our stay they were in contact with us regarding the weather and the site conditions, advising us to bring wellies which were a needed due to the British weather! We had a cracking stay in all of England’s wind and rainy glory! They did awesome cooked breakfast, served local cider and ales and have a fab area. You can pay on arrival to hire a fire pit and they provide a bin of dried fire wood on a trolley to transport. Everything was so good! Would definitely return.
