Why stay here ...

John Torrid Farm is a small working farm situated in the Village of Shurlock Row. The farm is surrounded by ancient woodland which keeps it peaceful and pleasant.

The CL has been finished to very high standards with a hardstanding gravel driveway and pitches which also have the option of grass, each pitch has its own individual electricity and water supply making "hooking up" as easy as possible, the pitches are set in a 1.5 acre maintained paddock which is perfect for BBQ's and fun.

The location is one of the most attractive points as the neighbouring towns include Windsor, Maidenhead, Ascot, Reading, Bracknell, Twyford and Wokingham. Just short drives out and you could be enjoying sights such as Windsor Castle, Windsor Great Park, Legoland, Ascot Racecourse or maybe even some retail therapy at the Oracle Reading or the newly finished Lexicon in Bracknell. If sports are of interest the farm is within walking distance to as many as 4 fishing lakes and is also on a cycling route, if you're feeling a bit more energetic. The CL is also a good base if you don't mind hopping on the train, fast trains from Twyford, Bracknell or Reading direct into London in as little as half an hour and you could be enjoying what the capital has to offer from Buckingham Palace, The Royal Albert Hall, Hampton Court Palace, Wembley Stadium and much, much more. London is one of the greatest capitals in the world offering something for everyone and staying with us here at John Torrid Farm - it's all just minutes away.

If you're a bit of a foody then local restaurants including a handful of country style pubs including The Shurlock Inn, The Beehive, The Bell, The Belgian Arms and more. If you're looking for more chain style restaurants the Lexicon Bracknell and Oracle Reading offer lots of choice.

The Farm is family friendly and we don't mind dogs as long as they're kept on leads. If your feeling "hands on" help is always welcome from feeding our alpacas, walking our donkey, cuddling our pygmy goats or maybe even collecting a few eggs from our chickens. Advance booking is required. We hope you enjoy your stay and look forward to seeing you soon.

Please remember when staying with us that you are staying on a fully functional working farm, early deliveries can be common along with some animal noises, wild foxes, goats, chickens and dogs, that noted we do our utmost to keep the noise to a minimum.

Please note: All pitches are hard standing and awnings cannot be pinned down and must be weighted.

Lovely site

This is a well maintained site run by lovely people. The metered electric is brilliant as you only pay for what you use.

Not sure how this site gets these great reviews!

I hardly ever write reviews as I consider myself an easy-going camper but we booked this site based on the great reviews and were a little surprised by the reality for us. On the positive side, the camping area is very neat & clean. Security is very good. Location for sightseeing... Show more
