Tenthuisje met warme privédouche in de tent - 6 persoon

Despite torrid weather, we (3 adults, 4 kids) had an amazing time at East Shilvinghampton. The tent was large, pretty well appointed, and cosy even in driving rain and high winds. The beds were comfy, and the kids absolutely loved the cupboard bed! The bathroom was clean, and the hot shower in the tent was amazing. In terms of cooking, the BBQ was great, but much else I'd recommend taking gas burners (you can borrow one from the shop free though, sans gas) as the wood stove takes a good couple of hours to boil a large kettle; a free crate of wood a day was plenty, and very welcome given the £5 each many places charge! The coolbox worked pretty well with the provided ice blocks, and each tent was allocated a shelf in the fridges in the shop. The shop itself had a good range of staples, including fresh milk and eggs, pasta etc., and a good amount of ice cream and frozen meat products; bacon, burgers, venison sausages etc. which, whilst not cheap, certainly weren't a rip-off and tasted fantastic. You can also charge phones etc. there for free, but there are limited plug sockets. Supermarkets are only 15 mins away in Weymouth, as are plenty of eateries and takeaways if you don't fancy cooking, and the weekly pizza oven night is always an option (although you may be waiting a while to get cooking depending on how many others are doing the same). What really made the trip though was the kids from all the tents playing in the field and having fun. They were never bored, whether playing football, or petting the goats, and this made the whole holiday so much better. There was no enforced socialising for the adults, but once someone lights the campfire of an evening, a few families would always be found sitting around it toasting marshmallows and drinking a beer. Overall we had an amazing time, the kids were sobbing as we left having to leave their new friends, my wife and I miss the beautiful views from the porch, and we are already talking about going back!

What a great experience. Fantastic setting, tents are excellent and the general atmosphere is super relaxing.

Lovely long weekend at East Shilvinghampton Farm. Right from the outset Martin made us feel so welcome. The location and facilities are outstanding, and the pizza night is a fab idea. The honesty shop is stocked with a variety of essentials and treats which are all reasonable sourced. My only complaint is that we didn't book longer! I will definitely be going back

Good location. Cute shacks. Shop could improve

Best easy break with kids. Safe place with children running around freely, barefeet until dusk. The place was spotless, good showers per family and honesty shop. The whole set up is family orientated where children and adults can mingle. Very accommodating host who talked to each guest personally. Kids loved it. 🎉🎉🌻🌻 Only down side if you're a city person, loud dawn chorus!!! 🤷 Birds for you!! Lots to explore in area and monkey world definitely worth a visit. Will go there again.

A little piece of heaven on earth. A stunning setting with excellent facilities in the tents. No electricity… perfect for getting the kids off screens. They made friends on the site and had such freedom. ||The tents are really well appointed and spotlessly clean. Beds are very comfortable. Amenities are excellently organised. Views are stunning! ||Loads to do in the area if you wish… but it was also lovely to relax in the field, watching the kids play or sitting by the communal camp fire at night. ||The farmer and his wife are lovely people. So welcoming and helpful. They really make the place. ||Wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend to others.
