Came back yesterday from a great weekend at Barn Farm.  The staff were great and really helpful.  There was an extremely laid back atmosphere throughout the site. 

 After looking at so many websites, it was lovely to find somewhere that had a relaxed attitude, even though there were still rules about noise etc, which were adhered to.   This made for a pleasant nights sleep!!

 The showers were spotless, proving that having a lot of through traffic doesn't mean you have to have floors caked in mud, and toilets swimming in fluids! 

 

Maybe an on site small shop would be an idea - for papers, fags etc?  The local store was ok but 45p for an onion was a bit steep. It was our first visit and we will most certainly be going again

 

We were in the top field and Saturday night was VERY WINDY!!!!  Very entertaining watching new arrivals pitch tents in a force 10 - just like us the night before. Must be absolutely gorgeous on warm. CALM days!

Just wanted to say how brilliant your campsite is - location, scenery, facilities - all just perfect.  We all had a wonderful weekend (excluding the weather which was freezing!) and will definitely be back again soon for another visit.  Just superb.  Thank you - it was everything we expected and more.  The scenery is stunning and a really well kept campsite.

As caravan virgins we spent the Bank Holiday weekend at Barn Farm. What a fantastic site & stunning location! All the facilities one would need are there & everything was spotless. We will be returning & recommending this site to all our friends. Thank you to all.

Hence, could I book a pitch ( Near the Mill Stone if poss) with an electric hook up for the weekend of 29th May 2010 for 4 adults one child & a dog, staying two nights. Our caravan is a two berth with an awning & there will be two vehicles. Thank you. Regards Christine.

Nice to see that Barn Farm is still going strong..! I drove past at the weekend with my family and explained to them how i used to camp here with my parents over 30+ years ago. We used to have such fun and relaxing times staying here. The site was only on the one field that i remember and was mainly just tents at the time. (Looks very busy now..!) You could not miss our tent, as it was over 27 foot long, due to my mother extending the middle section of what was already a very big tent at the time. I remember in particular fetching fresh milk every morning in these plastic bags and also feeding the animals on the farm and helping out with some of the farm tasks from time to time. There used to be a little pond at the top of the field with lots of tadpoles in it, which looks like it has since gone...what a shame..! The walks around this area are nothing short of spectacular and the beauty is second to none..! I hope to bring my family to this site in the near future, having been converted to caravans by my wife and spending many holidays on caravan club sites. Just not the same as the good old fashioned tent approach. Thanks again Barn Farm for all of those many happy holidays that my sister and i sepnt at your site with our parents. Cheers Martin

Decided to visit after reading the entry in Cool Camping Kids. We were trying our new tent out for the first time with our 5 year old and 18 month old. The site is located in the most beautiful spot and we were very impressed with the ability to pitch where you choose (when it's quiet). The facilities were excellent including electric shower rooms large enough for the family to shower at the same time. The people were very friendly and with a small toddler the access to the games room TV early in the morning would have been a God send if we had needed it (we did need it in France earlier in the summer but there were no such facilities). My daughter loved the peacocks and the other animals around in the adjacent fields and my son found lots of places to explore on his own so he felt he had some independence. There is a quarry nearby and it does operate 24 hours which from the field we were in was a little noisy at night but this was by no means enough to spoil our visit (the kids slept through it completely). We intend to visit again at the next opportunity in the spring for longer this time. Thanks for a great few days. 10/10

JUST SPENT FRI/SAT NIGHT AT BARN FARM. I HAVE ALREADY SUGGESTED THIS SITE TO 3 PEOPLE SINCE WE GOT BACK. REALLY GOOD SITE, BEAUTIFUL LOCATION, VERY SAFE ATMOSPHERE (2 TODDLERS IN TOW!) TOILETS WERE KEPT SPOTLESS BUT ALTHOUGH SHOWERS WERE GOOD THE FLOORS COULD HAVE BEEN CLEANED A BIT MORE....MY THOUGHTS WERE KEEP A BUCKET AND MOP IN EACH CUBICLE FOR THE LAST USER TO GIVE FLOOR A ONCE OVER??? I KNOW I WOULD RATHER DO THAT THAN HAVE TO STAND IN THE WET DIRTY FLOOR! A SHELF OR SOMEWHERE TO PUT YOUR STUFF WOULD HELP TOO IN EACH CUBICLE AND THEY ARE BIG ENOUGH FOR BABY CHANGE UNITS (WHICH WOULD HELP TO PUT YOUR CHILD SOMEWHERE OTHER THAN WET DIRTY FLOOR WHILE YOUR TRYING TO GET THEM DRY!)OTHER THAN THAT THOUGH IT WAS FAB AND WOULD DEFINATELY RETURN IF WE ARE IN THAT AREA AGAIN. 8/10
