 Clean and tidy. Shower blocks clean toilets clean. Everything was explained on arrival. It is what it is a camp site.
Would I go back yes.
A little heads up mind when I rung through person on the other end was a bit abrupt

Stayed here after a terrible experience at another site. Site and staff very accommodating and helpful,
Nice quiet site with fab views across sea and very convenient to coastal path,
Large open fields and hardstanding pitches,
Good clean and well presented facilities and good all round value,
Short walk into town for pubs and shops and a short hop to Weymouth
I would stay here again

The best part of this site was the incredible views of the lagoon and sea. Jayne was very accommodating in rearranging our dates for staying owing to bad weather conditions.
Facilities very clean and lovely warm showers.
The only downside was some dogs from other campers were left to roam free and one defecated outside our tent. I reported this to the management who said they would investigate.
On returning from our day out it was to find the mess not cleaned up. We therefore had to clean it up as our children played in the field along with other children.

This was the third stop on a two week break we had in our campervan.
We stayed at Marleaves Farm for three nights over a weekend and if I was being completely honest we only booked it as it was the only site available in the area as the weather had improved dramatically and most places were full.
I’m torn about how to review this site. It really did serve a purpose for us and had everything we needed. The toilets and showers were plentiful – the showers themselves really great as they were individual wet rooms.
There is a lovely dog walk down to a beach in the lagoon. As you walk down towards the lagoon you can turn left or right and walk along the coast path. If you turn left you walk down to the start of the bridge across to Portland where you can join the cycle path to Weymouth or walk across to Portland.
The walk in to Weymouth took about an hour (which included a quick pitstop at a café at Sandsfoot Gardens as it was really hot that day and ourselves and the dog needed a bit of refreshment !). The walk is along a disused railway and is completely traffic free apart from some mad cyclists !
Once in to Weymouth the old port area is lovely and the beach itself is huge and has a dog friendly area at either end.
On another day we walked to Portland. The walk was nice (walk on the opposite side to Chisel Beach as there is a path alongside the water. There is a café on either side of the road if you wanted to have a stop. The marina area in Portland is lovely and from there you can get the boat over to Weymouth.
The bus service is also exceptional with buses starting very early and running very late so if you didn’t want to walk or drive in to Portland to Weymouth then the bus is really easy to use.
Like I said I’m slightly torn on this site as it did the job but it wasn’t quite somewhere I’d like to spend a huge amount of time and in all fairness I think it’s more geared to weekend travelers. The site entrance through a housing estate and in to the working farm area doesn’t really sell it and you would need to me mindful of the pitch you choose as some are much better than others. It is also very exposed so if you are in a tent make sure it’s pegged down well ! On the days we were there it wasn’t very windy in Weymouth itself but back up at the site it was blowing a gale so that’s something to bear in mind.
All-in-all the site worked well for us, the facilities were very clean and we had a good pitch so it really did serve a purpose.

On locating the site it its only a 4 minute walk to the main road, this is very convenient for the local shops and the local buses to get into Weymouth, especially as they run quite late in the evening, no taxi fares if you fancy a drink! Although not far to walk, it seems like you are miles away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
On arriving at the site, I approached the farmhouse and was warmly welcomed. I paid my fee and had a large area in which to pitch my tent. Wow what a view! A large field high on the cliff gives stunning views out to sea, along Chesil beach and across the Isle of Purbeck. I chose to pitch by the fence next to the inquisitive, friendly Alpaca's.
The shower block was spotless and looked as if it had recently been refurbed. Large tiled shower cubicles with good pressure and hot water. There was even a large wet room to use.
There is a path which leads down to the South Coast path and further down to the sea.
Ideally situated for walking and connections to Weymouth, (Radipole lake RSPB reserve, is a gem) with great facilities and stunning views, I highly recommend this site

After reading the previous reviews we decided it's was mainly due to busy periods, hence some poor reviews however.
As these reviews are about the sites not the location etc I will keep the two sides apart.
When you arrive there are signs everywhere yet none telling you where to check in, total farce.
The toilets were gross, the toilet brushes were black, the gents hadn't seen paint for eons and dirty bits on the floor were still there 4 days later.
The Ladies, on the second day my Wife noticed some coloured Mouth wash on the sink from the previous day, again 4 days later it was still there.
My wife telephoned to say the Toilets needed cleaning and toilet roll was needed, she was assured cleaners came twice weekly, no apology was made but toilet rolls and bleached toilets appeared shortly. Next day though all the dirty stuff was still there.
The site was a building site which we weren't warned about when enquiring with the owner who was on holiday, new shower blocks I think plus new pitches are in hand ( very narrow ones ).
Animal wise we didn't see any Pigs or Chickens just Sheep, Llamas and people's Horses.
The footpath to the cove is a public walkway and a Dog motorway as all the locality use it so the narrow path gets very busy with people and Dogs passing each other, it's very busy.
Walks to Weymouth are good and the Bus is only £6 return from a stop about 1/4 mile away near the pub, the pub mentioned in reviews which was just a miserable high street type nothing very nice.
In summary Weymouth was superb, the site location ok but a little seedy but the site is best avoided sadly.

The location of the site is stunning, overlooking Chesil Beach and the Fleet with animals in the surrounding fields. Unfortunately there were not enough facilities for the number of people at the site given that it was August, 3 women's and 3 men's showers, with 3 women's and 2 men's toilets (cubicles only). This made for quite painful queuing in the morning and the men's showers lacked locks!
The site and visitors were child friendly although there were no play facilities for children. The local pub is very welcoming and the food is delicious and worth a visit!

We arrived on site to what felt like a force 10 gale and rain and attempted to put up our awning. We were very fortunate that 2 other campers spotted us and took pity and assisted us - thank you! The wind coming in from the sea was an ongoing issue with the site, however, this was the only issue - not one the owners could do a great deal about and one to be put up with for the stunning sea view we had.
The toilets are probably the cleanest I have seen on a site and we have been to a fair few and the owners were super helpful and welcoming. On the 2nd day of our stay our children were invited into the gardens of the guest house to see the farm animals which was lovely and a nice touch.
A lovely campsite with fab views - would recommend!

This site really is a tale of two halves. They are fortunate enough to be based in a lovely location(once you get through the housing estate)overlooking the sea, so as you would expect the views on some of the pitches are stunning, in addition they have a field of grazing Alpaca's which adds to the views and are nice to see.
However, sadly the site itself is not so good. On arrival we were surprised by the general standard of the yard, it was run down and looked very uncared for and to be honest was not at all welcoming, we love natural farm sites and stay at them regularly so no issue there, but this just felt a bit grotty, in addition the lack of clear signage made it difficult to find where you had to book in which was frustrating.
Sadly there was also a problem with lack of communication between owners/staff. We were told they did not want a deposit (though we did offer to pay one) but on arrival it became clear our booking which had been specifically requested and okayed on the phone may not be honoured, and we were told they were 'not sure about that, have to see what we can do' which was not a great welcome. Then a day or so later having paid on arrival another gentleman came around and said 'had we paid' as the man who booked us in and took our money had not given us a tag to display it looked like we hadn't paid when we had, and l was told 'everyone who pays gets a tag', which made me feel very uncomfortable.
In addition the facilities were barely adequate in the ladies and not especially clean, but worse still my Husband really struggled to get a shower as there were so few and so many people, he gave up after going backwards and forwards 3 times one morning and used the washroom in the caravan.
The site got busy while we were there and they actually started putting units all over the place including in animal fields and on the dressage yard, also they started using splitters as there was not enough hook up points so there was wires trailing across fields etc.
It's a shame because in the right hands with a good re-organise and tidy up this could be a nice little site, but there are so many other better well run sites to stay in at Weymouth we won't be back.

Ispent 3 days here in early June and was very impressed. The view overlooking the coast is beautiful, and thankfully it was quiet at the time. The facilities tollets showers washing up area are fine and very clean. AsI was their for the Folk Festival weekend all the supplies anyone would need are available nearby. Their are sheep nearby, and Alpacas who were about to be sheered as I arrived!. I think the working farm aspect of the site benefits the visitors. I shall Return!
