Date of Visit: June 2016 Unit:  Motorhome
Reviewer: R-j.smith 1 review from this member

 Nice pitches, clean toilet. Fab farm shop and restaurant. BUT, although welcoming dogs there is nowhere within reasonable walking distance to let dogs off lead and they won't allow them walked round the lake even on lead.

The 20 min walk to Bridport involves crossing at least 2 fields and one stile, although we still couldn't' find the footpath.

The free wifi is only available at the restaurant and only free if you are a BT customer.

 A little gem of a CL. Extremely friendly and helpful staff in shop upon arrival. Pitches well cared for and spacious with water to each pitch enabling us to hook up our mains adapter and not bother about refilling the aquaroll.

All pitches are hard standing with electric and there is an immaculately kept toilet next to a a covered chemical waste disposal point.

Lovely views down the valley and very pretty fishing lakes with reasonably priced coarse fishing at £5 pr day or £3 pr half day. The site is well-situated for many National Trust car parks and properties. We particularly recommend Barrington Court and Montecute House. We managed to visit both along with Tintinhull gardens all in one day as they were close together. Also well situated for many coastal path walks and we visited Lyme Regis, Abbotsbury and West Bay. If you go to Abbotsbury you must eat in the Abbotsbury Tea Rooms as it is gorgeous and the food is excellent. If visiting West Bay eat at the George Hotel - what a find. Awesome food and beautiful surroundings.

All in all we loved this site. Good access from road. Dogs are welcome and you can walk them right from the site as there is a footpath leading from your doorstep. Very handy having the farm shop right there too although it is pricey they stock everything you might need. We didn't try the cafe but other visitors assured us it was lovely and the breakfast they had was excellent.

 Nice site in a pleasant location as part of a working farm. Easy access to town. Has water to each pitch. The adjoining farm shop has a good range of fresh food and some frozen. The cafe food is good. Although adults only there were children on site in a huge RV. Not a problem as they were very well behaved and polite. It is a busy farm / shop / cafe but no excessive noise. A small clean toilet and chemical emptying block under cover. Overall I would say it is a good site although a bit expensive in respect of site fee, cafe food and shop.

Reviewer: GregnDee 1 review from this member

 This site is just about perfect. We arrived to a warm and friendly welcome, we picked our pitch and were delighted to find that each pitch had its own water and power. Pitches are hardstanding and with terrific views. Lovely people. The site is peaceful and very little road noise. The farm shop is 'to die for'. Very central for a great number of interesting places - depends what you are looking for but we checked out the Swannery, Hardy's Monument, and a nearby stone circle. We had a lovely morning in Bridport - would recommend the museum there - and spent the afternoon in Lyme Regis - even though it was cold the beach was full of families - children playing in the sand and even in the water!

Highly recommend!

 This is the second time we have visited this great CL site perched at the top of a south facing valley looking over Bridport towards the sea. We were a bit apprehensive taking the van out at this time of the year with snow and the coldest night of the year forecast. It did fall to -8c on the first night but it was sunny most days. It is a working farm with an excellent farmers shop. If you are foodies, you will love it. Each of the pitches has its own water supply and are spacious. There is a footpath down the valley into the town and you can visit The Good Fellows Arms, which is virtually a front room selling great beer!. It is only about 30 mins to walk into the centre of Bridport which has a good market. West Bay, and Seatown are only short drives away with access to the Coastal Path.

I am sure we will visit again for the good walks and peace and quiet in the area.

 We have just spent 4 nights at this superb CL. The pitches are well spaced with great views down the valley to Bridport. There is a toilet with a chemical emptying pit next door. The toilet is well lit and clean with everything provided, the only problem was a camper who insisted on smoking in the toilet despite clear signs not to!

The farmshop is an absolute joy, such fantastic choice and quality and the staff in both the shop and the cafe were really friendly and helpful. We had some lovely meals in our motorhome with all ingredients fresh and local. We also had a 'full english' one morning in the cafe which was a lovely treat.

The area has some lovely walks/beaches, our favourite was Lyme Regis which is a lovely old fashioned family seaside town, Cogden beach where dogs are allowed all year and West Bay for ice creams and fish and chips!

The site is run by a family who have lived there for generations and this is shown by the care given to the site and surrounding area.

We are really looking forward to returning very soon.

 We stayed here for a week in August. The pitches are large and the two nearest the security gate have views over Bridport.

The owner was very friendly and helpful, especially when our motor mover became stuck on the caravan wheel. He loaned us tools to release it.

The facilities were clean. There is a brilliant farm shop on site. The site is quiet except for the fridges from the farm shop which could be heard at the dead of night. However this should not deter you.

We would definitely stay there again.

Reviewer: Anglebox 66 7 reviews from this member

 Spent 4 days here in June. An adult only CL with just 5 pitches on well drained, part hard standing pitches, we had torrential rain for 24 hours but no problem with waterlogged pitches.

Overlooks Bridport with sea view beyond, lovely sunsets! Quiet with no road noise.

There is a brilliant farm shop there, we didn't go near a supermarket during our stay, the food was a little more expensive but the quality & choice was great.

There is also a super restaurant, we had friends visit us on two of our days there so we ate there, huge portions & a lovely atmosphere, everyone at Washingpool was friendly & helpful.

Just one gripe, although a clean toilet was provided there wasn't a shower, we have a small pop-top van so a shower would have been appreciated especially at £15. 35 a night

Reviewer: Vasco 12 reviews from this member

 My wife and I visited this site. One day of sun and the rest rain. The pitches look down a valley, overlooking Bridport with good views over the farm. There is a footpath into Bridport.

The staff were friendly and run a brilliant farm shop selling fresh produce and excellent home produced meat. The farm also produce their own ready meals.

They had a wine tasting while we were there. It is an ideal spot for touring the coast and also, because of the rain, we went to the Fleet Air Arm Museum which is a lovely drive across Dorset.

It is a quiet site which was just what we wanted. Each pitch has its own water and electricity.

There is a very clean WC and waste point. Lyme Regis is a short drive but very, very, crowded. A walk up to the top of Golden Cap gives fine views over Lyme Bay.

We will be going again
