Really nice unit, cosy, but with all mod cons for a couple of nights.
Get the hot tub option, you will regret it otherwise!

We had a really lovely stay in the Bustard Hut. It was peaceful, quaint, and beautifully designed. The interior was unique and thoughtfully put together, and the hut had great facilities considering its limited kitchen space.
The little touches like the marshmallows, bread, and condiments were very much appreciated.
The only downsides were that the hut wasn’t quite as private as it appeared in the pictures, as we could see and be seen by the neighbouring hut from the hot tub, which wasn’t quite what we imagined. Also, there weren’t any trolleys available on arrival, so there was a lot of back and forth with bags since you can’t park next to the hut.
A few things that would be useful to have are some barbecue tools and maybe a fire mitt, as we had to use kitchen utensils to manage the fire. Overall, we had a lovely stay and really enjoyed the thoughtful touches throughout.

Fantastic views over the valley. Clean toilet and showers. It was lovely and quiet and we could fully relax and unwind. A short walk into Shaftesbury where there are plenty of pubs and places to eat. We had a great time and will be back.

Both me and my son absolutely loved our mini getaway, the campsite is such a hidden gem. You can travel by foot in the nearby area if you follow the public footpath as you leave the campsite, plenty of cafes, pubs and shops which is great!
Also fire pits and wood available which is always a bonus, highly recommend this campsite to everyone and will be returning 😊
Jason was super helpful upon arrival too. Thanks for having us!

1 night at Stowford Manor Farm Campsite
This is a lovely place to stay. The railway carriage was very comfortable and very well laid out, packing a lot of functionality into a cozy space. The grounds are beautiful and quiet. It’s just a short drive to several must see places like Bath and Avebury henge.

This place is so peaceful and relaxing. The views as mentioned are tremendous as it is on an elevated position. However, there are plenty of flat places to camp. The meadow grass is mowed and is springy and lovely to camp on and extremely easy to hammer in tent pegs. Pitches are not cramped .Excellent showers and the toilets are kept in a pristine condition. Great dog walks from the site and an easy stroll into Shaftesbury which is very dog friendly. I won’t forget the distant hills of the Blackmore Vale and the sound of church bells. Wonderful. Very tranquil.

Camp site was super easy to find and only a short drive away from a cute little town with shops, bakeries and lots of antique shops which were all lovely to walk around. The site was dog friendly and had no set pitches or pitch size so ideal for larger tents/vans and groups. Toilets and showers were close by and always stocked up on hand soap, toilet roll and paper towels. Overall a lovely site with views out to fields and the surrounding farm land, you can also spot the museum that we took a walk to which was interesting. Our little group consisted of 3 girls in our mid twenties and we felt super secure and comfortable staying here for a weekend. During our stay there were families, couples, friends and a couple of larger groups camping at the same time but other than a few laughs and the smell of good food, you’re not disturbed by each other.

I don’t think the location can be beaten. The meadow is extremely well maintained and mowed so it’s soft and springy. Fab showers and spotless loos. However, it’s the view that does it. From wherever you are pitched there are views of churches, old stone buildings and the beautiful Blackmore Vale … peace and tranquility. Oh and Jason hires out fire pits. I have to mention that it’s also great for dogs with lots of good walking around and it’s a short jaunt to Shaftesbury which is very dog friendly. Eve Dog and I had a fantastic time. Wonderful.

Beautiful location. An absolute sun trap! We visited during the recent heatwave and regretted not taking our gazebo. Highly recommend taking one if you need respite from the sun. Showers are also delightful and spacious. There is a noisy peacock somewhere in the area, a bit disruptive when trying to sleep, but not hugely.

Absolutely stunning views!! Favourite campsite we’ve been to so far, the site itself is very well maintained and plenty of space for privacy. Couldn’t get over the view the whole time we were there, if you’re lucky like us and get a clear sky you’ll see the sunset! Flushing toilet facilities were super clean and clearly regularly maintained, was always soap and loo roll on hand. Shaftesbury village was a short 10 minute walk through a country lane and takes you right to the bottom of Gold Hill. Definitely worth a visit!

We came for a family birthday getaway at the end of Feb. The hut is private but there is a two person hut reasonably nearby. The Shephards hut has everything you need outside and in, regardless of weather. We had moments eating out in the sun, then a brief hail shower and rainbow in the hot tub. One night was so clear we spent the evening star gazing from the hot tub. There is a farm and wild bird sanctuary nearby so an abundance of wild life throughout the day. Kites, peacocks, buzzards, peasants, deer etc. We did several local walks but the best for the kids was the farm > wood walk, which had a hidden wood swing too. The hosts were quick to help when we needed it and the location was very picturesque. It was a perfect birthday escape. We'd love to come back and see it in the summer!

We had a lovely stay on Susannah's land, a relaxing city break, we saw muntjac deer, birds of prey, wild rabbits! We loved bubbling away in the hot tub overlooking wintery scenes.
