Reviews of Home Farm Camping & Caravan Park

Management response:
The fence to divide the second field in half is literally falling apart with
a massive section missing and when one of my children lent against it, it nearly
fell over. This fence was damaged a few weeks before, due to recent storms we
did have to wait just a couple of weeks for supplies but it has now all been
fully replaced.

The outside wash up area is probably the worst I have seen. We have added
a picture so as people can make up their own minds on this one!

The showers are probably the worst I have come across, Again we have added
a picture so people can judge for themselves.

There are no female sanitation bins, We've been here 7 years and all that
time there has been one in each shower room and one in the ladies loo too. They
were present during your stay!

One shower cubicle didn't have a mirror, You are quite right, sadly it got
broken by a very recent visitor by accident, it to has now been replaced, sorry
it took 2 weeks, we assumed five others available may have been OK.

The flow of water is so slow it takes forever to wash and the water
fluctuates from freezing cold to boiling hot - unsuitable for children. It was
found that the valve was only just open. Sad you did not tell us. Our text
number is outside the showers! We do also suffer from low water pressure at some
points and new main in the road has been quoted for and is awaiting
installation.

Apparently there is under floor heating - I cant say I noticed this the floor
was usually wet and freezing cold. After inspection we noticed that one of
the shower rooms was not working, now fixed, the others however were all fully
operational.

The chemical waste is an outside toilet right next door to the ladies green
tin shed - not very pleasant or private, You are the first to object to this,
OZ Clark, Paul Daniels, and Hugh Denis did not complain.

We still haven't found the waste water disposable point, I would say I'll
tell you next time where it is but maybe not!!!

There is no play equipment for children i. E climbing frame / goal posts - so
kids were quite bored and had to improvise and use our chairs. There are
playing fields a few mins walk up the road, these have football, rugby,
basketball pitches and swings, climbing frame, and slide, they are listed on our
web site and we would have told you had you asked. Also we have a massive meadow
where most children have hours of fun playing and improvising, Sorry but neither
we nor the local planners would wish to spoil our beautiful countryside with
Goals, perhaps Butlins may have proved more your thing.

One family staying with a dog decided not to clean up after it so the mess
was left on the floor (this isn't the sites fault), but still thought I should
mention it especially when children are running around playing. It would have
been good if you had informed us, we would have cleared it up immediately. You
did not advise us at all, but thought you should mention on here!

After receiving our text with instructions we presumed at some point we might
see the owners. This never happened for the 4 days we were there the only people
we saw were other guests and someone in one of the outbuildings working with
lawnmowers, I find that quite often it's the staff / owners who make you feel
welcome and relaxed. I have never been to site and never seen them. Very
strange. The site office is open every day, there is a sign as you enter
saying please report to reception, you choose to not come and see us, sorry we
don't go knocking on peoples doors as that's not what everyone wants. It is a
small family run, non commercial farm site, fabulous views, clean facilities
(see pics) and a Pub next door.

Sorry you had a bad time, but please don't come back expecting Butlins! as
that's not what the vast majority of our visitors want!

Best Regards, Andy
