Bit of a mixed bag
We've just had two nights here having decided to risk it despite the previous review. We like peace and quiet and don't mind a bit of quirkiness, ramshackleness and would prefer that to something too neat and orderly. The site is a little bit run down and some of the hard standings were full of weeds, nettles around the outside of the site etc, but there is electric hook up, water, waste water facility, chemical disposal etc, all in good working order. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. There is a hut on site with in formation leaflets - it would have been even better if they could have put a toilet in there. The thing to be aware of is that it is a working farm (or estate) so there are comings and goings of tractors etc. You have to be ready for the unexpected - we had a lorry load of concrete slabs being unloaded literally feet away from our van at 8.15am, but apart from this the site was lovely and peaceful. We had a great cycle ride to Sutton Poyntz, lots of hills on reasonably quiet roads and a lovely pub when you get there. On the site there were 3 other units in total and 2 of them had been before and returned happily, so that tells you something about the beautiful location and ease of access to Weymouth or Dorchester. We probably won't return but only because we're unlikely to be in the area again.
