 Stayed at this wonderful site on the 19th,20th and 21st June 2009 and we would definitely go back. We are a couple with two dogs and we were joined by a couple of friends.
This site is very friendly and the team couldn't do enough. The pitches are fantastic, we had a terraced pitch by the stream. Plenty of room to put two tents, picnic tables, chairs etc.
All the pitches looked as if they had ample space and very private as high grass or shrubs separate pitches.
The shower/ toilet block / washing up area was always clean and even though you pay 20p for a 5 minute shower, the time was ample.
The dog walking orchard was great for our two dogs and allowed them to be off lead. It wasn't really suitable as an exercise area ie throwing balls etc but as we had been out exploring all day it was perfect for early morning toilet trips and before bedtime. It was really clean and it appears that all owners clean up any mess as we didn't see any.
You can catch a Bus into Lyme Regis from down by the pub (only a five minute walk down hill from site)and dogs can go on the bus too, but the coastal walk into Lyme Regis is lovely. The camp shop had most things we needed but for any additional there is a local store a few minutes away (down hill near to the pub).
We had a wonderful weekend and we would definitely return. Slightly more expensive than other sites we researched but well worth it in our opinion.

Excellent site, once you've got up the narrow lane to enter. It isn't actually that bad!
Pitches are flatish and all at different levels, so makes the outlook better.
Very pleasant ablutions blocks and the 20p charge for the showere is fine, with plenty of time for a quick wash down.
We will be back.

Having just spent the weekend at Hook Farm I was extremely impressed. The staff were very polite and helpful, the facilities were very clean and there was never a queue. My only moan would be the ground is so hard you can put tent pegs in. Overall 10/10.

Thanks to the recommendations on this website we stayed at this site for the weekend and liked it very much. Very friendly welcome which seemed to permeate through to the campers making the whole site a smiley place. We had a good sized level pitch and when the sea-mist cleared there was a lovely view of Dorset farmland. The showers were well worth the 20p for 5 mins and always clean. Swallows were nesting in the roof so they approved too. Would definitely recommend this site for all, families, couples and singles.

This was our first camping holiday of the 2009 season, our fifth such adventure so we are still fairly new to camping. We booked in for 4 nights with EHU.
The site is in a beautiful, hilly part of Dorset, so all the pitches are terraced making it an attractive site with lovely views of the valley.
Our welcome was friendly and we were shown to our pitch by Adrian running ahead of us. They do this all the time and must be very fit running up and down the hill! We had to pitch in the pouring rain but the weather had cleared up by lunch time the next day and was glorious for the rest of our break.
We had a huge pitch which our son loved and he also enjoyed the play area which was small but the children seemed to enjoy it as far as we could tell - especially the boat.
The toilets & showers were clean the whole time we were there however when I used the shower it was cold.
There is a lovely walk down into Lyme Regis which our son managed quite happily and after clambering over rocks on the beach he walked all the way back with only one or two complaints of tired legs. However as soon as we were back at the site he was off into the play area!
Apart from the cold shower I can't find anything to criticise about this site - it was well managed and Adrian kept a watchful eye over the site whilst not being intrusive but happy to chat if there was time.
We will definitely be coming back here again.

We were pleased to get a spot when we arrived without booking on Saturday night and it was very spacious. We agree that restricted lighting and quiet time are a great asset to the site and well observed.
Would say that we did feel very overlooked and felt like we were intruding on others due to proximity and split levels of some of the pitches. Also we may have been unlucky but we only managed to knock in one or two pegs all the way as encountered a lot of rocks, wished we had brought the sturdier pegs luckily wasn't very windy.

We stayed her for only one night ,as I we urgently had the need to test out our new tent. It was a great site, lovely level pitches of a good size. The site is on a valley side,so the views were spectacular, even though we had to deal with the English rain.
The toilet and shower block was spotlessly clean,there was also a shop selling the basics. I will agree with the other reviews,the staff were very friendly and chatty. We also did the lovely walk into Lyme this took about 40mins,I highly recommend this.
On our return we stopped at the Talbot Arms for a much needed beer. The only thing which was a nuisance was the ground is very stony for standard tent pegs.Recommend a few rock pegs. We will definitely stay here again.

This was our 5th visit to this site and it gets better each time. Had a beautiful pitch in the top field which was quieter than the middle of the site. Showers were always clean and even though it was packed we never had to wait.
The walk down to Lyme is great and we love being able to leave the car behind. Site was quiet at 11pm which was great as we were usually shattered by that time. Staff as usual very friendly and the shop stocked 'nearly' everything we needed. Can recommend the local sausages and burgers sold there! Will return again.

We stayed for the bank holiday weekend at the end of May, when the site was pretty much full, but didn't feel overcrowded. The helpful site staff show you to your marked pitch, which is a decent size, level (as it is terraced into the hillside), but the ground is very stony, so be prepared to bend quite a few tent pegs! The toilet blocks are modern and clean; the 20p showers last long enough, but the solar powered hot water appears to get colder later in the day. The site is family-friendly, with a small play area, no excessive noise, a shop and a generally pleasant atmosphere.
We walked down the valley into Lyme Regis - it's a country stroll of just over a mile and the site give you written directions. The return journey isn't that bad - our 6 year old walked it easily - the only steep uphill bit is the last 100 yards up the lane to the campsite.
The positive reviews for the site are well-deserved. It is not cheap and nasty: investing in your facilities and caring for your site pay dividends. We are coming back.

Oh a campers paradise. Always busy just stayed for a week and as one unit left another was there 2 hours later and considering the price I was surprised. The hill up to the site is steep and no way could I have managed.
Never had to queue for a shower and they kept them clean which is no easy task when site is full. Anyway it's a nice site but too expensive

Just returned from a weekend at this lovely campsite. The terraced layout gives an uncrowded feel to the place. Although the weekend we went (29-31 May) was probably the best weekend of the year yet and also the end of half-term week it did not feel overcrowded.
The showers were hot and clean and priced at 20p for 4.5 minutes. It's amazing how quickly you can get the job done when you are clock-watching. The on site shop was well stocked and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
The site has an absolute quiet after 11 pm rule, so is not for dedicated partiers. It is also situated in a 'dark valley' and has minimal night time lighting. Much the better for both these rules in my opinion.
Lyme Regis is walkable and there is a pub at the foot of the lane. You need to obtain a key for the chemical toilet disposal point (£5.00 deposit). We only found this out on the day of departure but, in fairness, we were checked in by a (very nice) new chap and he may have omitted this fact in his check in spiel?
A word of warning to Touring caravans - it is quite a challenging approach to the site, up a very narrow and quite steep lane. This is just something to be aware of and you should not let this put you off a visit to this beautifully located and very pleasant site. It is do-able. I think we will be back!

The perfect campsite ? Just spent 3 nights here and can only say we will definitely be back. Very warm welcome, the staff introduce themselves by their first names and remembered our names too - I've never experienced that before ! Terry and Adrian, and the other staff, went out of their way to be helpful even though they were v busy (it was end of May holiday).
The site itself is on a valley side but almost all of the pitches were level due to terracing. I also liked the fact that there were trees and hedges all over the site which means that you cant really see more than a dozen or so tents wherever you pitch. Toilets and showers etc were spotless and you have to pay 20p for five minutes hot water.
Views from the upper pitches are glorious - right across the valley and facing west for the loveliest of sunsets. Very quiet site - no loud music is allowed after 11. Is a pub (Talbot Arms) at the bottom of the hill which is very handy for an evening pint and Lyme is a nice 30 minutes or so walk down the riverside path. Hook Farm have definitely raised the bar in terms of campsite quality and standards.

We went for a long weekend and birthday celebration (40. Oh joy!).
The shop and toilets were spotless over the whole weekend and no problems with hot water. The shop bread and sausages were lovely too, although Charley just wanted the cheap dinosaurs. Everything in the shop was reasonably priced for a small village.
Not high season but all the kids were asleep by 9 and us adults just enjoyed the peace and quiet watching the stars. Beautiful views in the day.
Plenty of space on each pitch and no chance of encroaching onto your neighbours. Terraced for each spot.
The pub did good food but a little pricey (Lyme isn't a cheap area) and the beer was good.
Walk into Lyme is very pretty and an easy 30-40 minute walk; even with a 4 year old. Very pretty old water mill halfway along. The journey back is definitely best done on the bus.
Don't bother with the dinosaur museum in Lyme. Very old fashioned and 'traditional' type written info and papier mache dinosaurs. Too expensive for what it is.

Stayed here for 1 night as our first attempt at caravanning! Welcomed by Terry who was lovely. Fantastic peaceful site, nice and close to Lyme Regis.
Extremely clean toilet and shower facilities with lovely hot showers. Kids loved the simple play area. We could not ask for more and can't wait to return!

Great site. Very clean & tidy, lovely friendly welcome when we got there. Small shop selling the basics and a bit more. The children were very impressed it sold sweets for as little as 5p!
Facilities are in two blocks, one at the top, and one at the bottom of the camping field. Cleaned regularly, and one is always open if the other shut for cleaning. Camping field is on a hill, but pitches are level.
Small playground which the children loved, just a small boat, climbing frame, and everyone's favourite-the swing tyre! But had trouble getting the children off it!
Lovely riverside walk into Lyme Regis, and downhill all the way there! Seriously, the walk is mainly level, there is just one big hill, and that is the one back up the road the campsite is on.
There is an hourly bus service (2 hourly on Sundays) but this goes from (and back to, of course)the bottom of the hill. Not worth trying to take the car into Lyme Regis as nowhere to park it.
Would recommend the site, my only, personal, complaint is that it would be better closer to the beach, but clearly there is nothing the site can do about that!Lovely quiet site.
