Weekend Trip to Walnut Farm Glamping

Walnut farm is a very special place. We had the best time staying in Russet yurt - it is extremely comfortable, spacious, private, luxurious, and perfectly kitted out. We couldn’t have asked for more. We loved it all and hope to be back again one day.

3 nights at Southover Woods and Camping

An absolutely magical campsite. Staying here felt like a true escape from the world, the pitches are so well spread out that it feels like you have the whole place to yourself. With no cars the kids were able to be wild and free, they loved playing on the big swing exploring the woods. The compost loo and bucket shower are positioned on the pitch so that they felt really secluded, which was great, as before arriving I was a little worried that there was a risk that other campers would be able to see us, but that wasn't the case at all. This felt as close to nature as can be, but with just enough of the comforts to make it easy! I would thoroughly recommend a stay here.

3 nights at Walnut Farm Glamping

We stayed in Pippin with our 10 year old child. Gorgeous location, with a small number of units making for a very peaceful site. We spent most of our stay heading out to visit family but wish we had been able to spend more time on the site as it is really stunning. Hosts were very welcoming. This would be a lovely place to hire out with a group as you could book the whole site…one day, hopefully!

Weekend Trip to Andrea's Farm Breaks Keepers Hut

I had a really lovely stay at the hut. Beautifully located in the peaceful countryside overlooking Corfe castle, this lovely place was the perfect get away for a sunny weekend. The hut itself was well appointed and very comfortable. I would certainly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Caalm Camp

Amazing site and amazing host. Very generous on firewood.

2 nights at Southover Woods and Camping

I enjoyed the views and quiet area. Chloe The host was lovely and super accommodating. Chloe was really kind, even took time out to find us when we got lost trying to find the way. Our daughter was able to run around enjoying the surroundings, exploring and playing freely. Our dogs were able to bark and be free.

Weekend Trip to Caalm Camp

Loved it, this was my third time but with the kids it was first time and they don’t wanted to return from the place. Will visit soon:

Weekend Trip to Hardyes Countryside Camping

Brilliant, quiet campsite. Excellent for dogs. Very clean showers/toilets etc. Very welcoming host. Excellent walking from the campsite and lots of walking opportunities within a 5/10 minute drive. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Southover Woods and Camping

Beautiful location! Would highly recommend! We were a little bit confused on how to get to the site, Chloe was brilliant and sent us through some directions and we found it easily from them. Nice private camping areas with their own firepit and composting toilet. Great for couples or groups of people as there are lots of different pitches offering different unique locations and views. Looking up and seeing the stars above a fire pit, priceless!

Weekend Trip to Hobby Farm

Had a beautiful stay. The hut was clean and well equipped. The shower was a bit lacking but better than nowt. I particularly loved that the hut was enclosed in its own paddock so my dog was contained and I could relax. The bed was comfortable and I slept like a log. Had a visit from a peacock as the sun went down each evening, how cool!
