Od správce: Thank you so much for your review. Look forward to meeting you if, or hopefully when, you come again. I hope you get clear skies! Best Alex

Líbí se: 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!

Od správce: Thanks Matt, much appreciated review, thank goodness there was a welcome break in the weather at least for a short time. Look forward to your return. Best Alex PS Sorry about the rugby!

Líbí se: 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.

Od správce: 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

Líbí se: 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!

Od správce: 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

Líbí se: We had a wonderfull stay at Edwards Farm! It is small with beautifull view and you find there everything you need, simple and clean.

Alex is a wonderfull host, very helpfull, friendly, fulltime of story's and a perfect guide to help you find the most beautiful sides and pubs and restaurants.

Nelíbí se: Cannot think of anything...

Od správce: 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

Líbí se: Beautiful, peaceful setting with lots of space. Everything well thought-through, from location and spacing of pitches to the showers and other facilities. We had a lovely couple of days here.

Od správce: 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

Líbí se: Beautiful rural campsite with amenities needed, plenty of space for the children to run and play securely. We stayed in Bell tent no.7 and loved the tent decking and log fire

Nelíbí se: None

Od správce: Thanks for the review, much appreciated. Apologies I only caught up with you on the last day, but I am so glad you had a good time. Best Alex

Líbí se: Great location, site really well looked after and great comms from the owner. Quiet place, with lovely views and a nice walk to Shaftesbury for shops, cafes etc. (though uphill on the way there!). Bell tent was lovely, spacious and clean and tidy. At the entrance to the site there are 2 sinks, one for washing up etc. in the small wooden building and 3 clean and stocked portaloos nearby. The solar showers are a nice touch too. There aren’t any houses etc. close to the field, so it’s quiet (and dark!) at night and you might see some bats. I took my 2 boys (7 & 10) while the site was quiet, we walked to town one day, up to the bench in the adjacent field for the view and bought logs and cooked burgers on the fire pit. Not sure there was much else we could do there, plenty of room for frisbee and a football but good as a base for local and other attractions and we spent a day at the beach (Sandbanks) which was about 50 minutes away. All in all a really nice site (our thanks to Alex) and we’ll be back!

Od správce: Thanks, this is a great review and will help others. We aim for a quiet campsite but this year has seen far fewer visitors than the last two. Probably down to the weather, and economics. Shame there were not more children on site that weekend. I am looking forward to seeing a few more campers in the next few weeks, which always gives a bit more atmosphere. Interesting you mention the dark - I only just found out that the Cranborne Chase (just up the road) is renowned for its dark skies and Stargazing. People come from miles to watch the constellations and meteor showers. Long may we avoid light pollution! Best Alex
