A great place to stay, views, etc. There was no welcome and we never saw anyone during our 2 day stay. A dog barked in the house as we approached. A notice on the door asks you to put fee in honesty box. The septic tank was a hole with a tin sheet cover and no tap/hose to rinse. We had to scout around for a bin; no recycling. Fee increase of 20% from website. All felt a bit weird.

Response from the CL Owner:

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your recent stay at the site. Hawthorn Farm is first and foremost a working farm with a basic site available for caravans to pitch. It’s a simple site for those who just want a peaceful location with a great view. We leave guests to enjoy their break without interruption. There is a tap available at the septic tank, it may have been that you approached the wrong section of the tank. Thank you for asking about the possibility of recycling, unfortunately at this time we are unable to accept recycling beyond that of the farm house itself. We are hoping to provide at information sheet for those staying at the farm in the future as the owner is often out working on the farm.
