Date of Visit: May 2014 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: MrsCamper 6 reviews from this member

 An excellent welcome awaits at this site. The site is level, we didn't need chocks. When we stayed it was very quiet which meant no queues for showers or toilets however there are only five toilets and four showers in total for what is a large site. For this reason my family wouldn't return if we thought it was going to be busy. The bathrooms were very clean but the showers spray out horizontally and are the push button type which can be annoying - word of advice - leave nothing on the floor when showering. There are only two sinks in the ladies and no hooks or shelves which makes it awkward.

This sounds like a negative review but it is a well kept, well located site, the cafe on site is good if you fancy a fry up!

The advertised free Wi-Fi doesn't work in the caravan or tent field, only in reception or cafe, so be aware of that!

For all the reasons above I think it's slightly overpriced.

 This our second stay at this campsite the last time about four years ago, not a lot has changed apart from three wooden sheds have been erected in the EH area, but the tenting field has been changed the most, the pond/lake has been filled in and levelled, the field has been grassed, a bank has been built on one side. It makes a lovely large flat area. A big improvement.

The toilet/shower block is the same and still very clean with free showers. Overall a nice site, if your tenting and need a nice breakfast a cafe is on site, we never used this though.

We thought the campsite fees were expensive for the low season.

The site has two busy roads nearby and at times can be a little noisy, but didn't bother us to much.

New Romney is a small town but has all the shops we needed a large Spar and Sainsburys, we had some lovely fish and chips from the chippy in the high street also the best Chinese take away we have tasted for a long time, the prices are reasonable too.

Hastings, Rye, Hythe, Folkstone and Ashford are not that far away if you need a larger shopping area.

Don't forget to have a ride on the R H & D R steam railway. GREAT even for us older kids!

Yes we would stay here again, lets hope its not another four years.

Reviewer: Gozman76 1 review from this member

 Our first family camping experience and we were very pleased with our choice of campsite.

Friendly staff, large pitches, very clean, hot showers, clean toilets, washing up facilities.

The site is very flat (it can be windy, but that's new romney for you. Although the site is tree lined to help provide some shelter).

The pitches are laid out around the edges of two large fields, (20 electric hookup/50 non) giving large areas free for playing in the middle (as other posts have mentioned. Bring bat and ball, kite, rounders bats, etc).

Logs and BBQ coals available from reception (£5). As are ice creams. And firepits are allowed which added to the whole experience.

Also provided is a small hut containing fridge, freezer (for ice packs), electric points and a microwave (cheating I know, but good as a back up).

Ideally situated for Cinque Ports, local beaches (camber / greatstone) and other small attractions (RSPB, miniature trains, lighthouse, golf, walks, pubs, etc).

Reviewer: Faulkner11 1 review from this member

 Lovely site! Very friendly owners. The shower block was spotless! The ground was even and our pitch with electric hookup was huge! Would recommend this site to anyone! Lots of room for children to play, but you need to bring toys and sports equipment with you as there is no play equipment there! This didn't seem to bother our girls aged 6 and 8. Lydd town is a couple of minutes drive away, a few shops there and a fantastic butchers. Very reasonable prices for our BBQ food!

If the weather isn't great there is lots to do, Mini train from New Romney, Dymchurch amusement park, Rare Breed Animal Farm, Ashford Designer Crentre. Had a great few days!

A quick note, it can get very windy on the site and the ground was very hard. So if you are in a tent, some invest in some good rock pegs!

 We spent 2 nights at Romney Farm recently and couldn't have wished for a better site to stay at. Pitches were a good size, washing facilities were clean and there was plenty of space. The staff were really helpful and friendly. It was great having use of fridges/freezers, and also BBQ's, if needed. The fry-up in the cafe on-site was fantastic.

We had great weather and enjoyed exploring the area- Greatstone Beach was lovely and had an enjoyable afternoon at the Cinqe Ports pub in town.

Would highly recommend this site and plan to visit again.

Reviewer: MadMum1972 11 reviews from this member

 Well, it seems this site turned out to be a success with my two children, despite my daughter informing me on arrival that it is the worse campsite I have ever taken her to because it didn't have a play area!

What there is though is a feeling of immense space. The pitches are laid out fantastically, there is a lot of room for the children to play ball, Frisbee, obstacle courses and chasing games.

We had a beautiful weekend with the weather. We went with our friends who only ever bring the sunshine camping.

Access roads were easy, infact the B2070 is a lovely road to tow down. The site was well sign posted and the entrance/exit was easy to use with good visibility.

The toilets and showers were clean, the staff extremely helpful and friendly.

A great weekend had by all. Thank you Romney Farm!

Reviewer: Lexiec 13 reviews from this member

 We chose Romney Farm because of the positive reviews - we wanted a campsite close to the Channel Tunnel having spent a weekend elsewhere. We weren't disappointed.

We only spent one night here so can't comment on the local facilities, but the showers, toilets and washing up facilities were spotless.

The pitch was spacious and completely flat. The children loved biking around the two fields and farmyard.

We didn't need to use the camping hut with fridge and microwave, but great idea to have it there.

Reviewer: Moomimmel 1 review from this member

 I love camping but as this trip was organised for September and after a pretty wet summer, we decided to go for one of the cabins on site just in case of rain. As it turned out we had a blazing hot weekend, but it was nice that after a rush hour dash we didn't then have to faff with the tent and were able to unpack and settle in to the cabin in less than 30 mins.

The cabin was a good sized space with a small fridge and extra plug point, plus a mirror and coat pegs. The cabin was lovely and clean and the same can be said for the shower/toilet block, although the showers could do with a slightly longer run time per press, but given they didn't require extra money to use them I think I can live with that.

Overall a friendly site in a nice location and one I would definitely consider returning to.

Reviewer: Tentfortwoplease 1 review from this member

 We went here due to the good reviews.

Pros

Friendly staff
Well kept grounds and grass pitches
Little benches for each pitch on lower field (great for breakfast)
Quiet and tranquil
Owners don't over crowed and there is plenty of
Space with spacious pitches
Fridges and freezers on site with plenty of space
BBQ graveyard, an assortment of old bbqs and
Bricks for floor standing bbqs in case you forgot yours
Close to beaches by car
Close to shops and supermarket

Cons

Showers (everything about them), sprays a fine mist and turns off every 4 seconds, frustrating. Although pros, well kept and clean toilet facilities
Airport that wakes up at night (not too bad, but you do wonder who is landing. A plane at 3am when it's pitch black)

The cons aren't that bad and we could not have been happier with our stay.

Reviewer: Woodlands12 1 review from this member

 What an amazing find, what lovely people. A very good value and clean site with all you could wish for including a microwave!

The Swifts who run the site are are very approachable, very friendly and professional.

Local village is very handy and has all the extra amenities you could wish for if desperate and there are some beautiful areas to visit in the local area, although Dungeness was extremely windy and bleak!

Thankyou both for such a wonderful stay, I'd definitely come back and recommend your site to friends.

Reviewer: Seree 2 reviews from this member

 A really lovely welcome from the owners. Shown to our pitch and shown where everything was.

Very friendly staff, very clean site, showers were a bit hard to use as water direction not great but they were very warm.

The toilets and showers were hotel standard clean and the hut with the fridge, freezers and microwave was a brilliant touch. Loads of space between tents and the ground is completely flat.

Was given a sheltered spot due to forecast of winds and it was just that. High banks all round site makes you feel safe and secluded and aid as wind breaks.

Could benefit from set of swings/slide or sand pit for the kids as plenty room but not a biggie

Only negative for us was the road which can be heard all night and is busy with fast 60mph traffic, mainly loud bikes.

Reviewer: Family Te Riele 1 review from this member

 Stayed here in July during a very, very, very, extremely wet period, which as a result created a private pool in front of our tent (15x5m). Immediately after the rain stopped, the warden came out with a pump and hoses to quickly recover the field.

The 'pool' was gone in a minute. This was the end of all the fun for the kids, but at least allowed me to enter my tent via the front door.

Thumbs up for the camp site personnel.

The other day my tent got hit by a stone coming off the mower. Off course shit happens sometimes, but the owner was kind enough to admit this and compensated me for the damage caused (ripped both the inner as well as the outer tent).

Once again: highly appreciated.

All in all: the campsite is great. Especially the tent field provides enough space for kids to play and run (even I could play with my golf clubs as well).

Depending on the wind, you might hear the traffic from the nearest road and find that a little annoying. But most of the time it didn't bother me.

Toilet block is rather small but is kept clean very well. The shower heads do spread the water quite wide, which makes it a challenge washing your hair. The push buttons in the shower could leave the water running slightly longer, but at least the water is warm (even close to hot).

The Rare Breeds Center in Woodchurch is great for kids up to 10 years. The Romney Railway is great for everybody. The nature reserve around Dungeness light house is a must. It provide a great scene for photographing. You should definitely have dinner at the Romney Spice restaurant in New Romney if you like Indian food.

 Spent 2 nights at the site and were really pleased with our choice.

Pro's

-Friendly reception

-Lots of space for children to run around in

-Toilets and showers very clean and sufficient

number

Con's

- none

We didn't get to any of the local pubs, but there is a good Sainsburys in New Romney. We all enjoyed Dungeness and travelling on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway.

A small, simple site that was very relaxing despite the British weather 


Date of Visit: June 2012 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: 66beanie1 4 reviews from this member

 This was our 3rd visit. We live only 20 miles away and have enjoyed good weekend camping. This year we stayed over the Easter weekend and the weather was awful.

The surrounding trees had been pollarded which meant little protection for the tent. In June they had begun to grow, but as this site can be a very windy one it doesn't provide much shelter at the moment.

Although our tent did withstand winds of up to 40 mph! (The 2nd field is surrounded by a large grass bank which helps protect the tents). The wardens/owners were very helpful to those campers having difficulties and even handed out extra blankets to shivering campers, whilst putting some families in their new 'Glamping Huts'.

The toilet/shower block is always clean although if someone is washing up the shower can run cold during peak times!The water pressure is poor and could do with better shower heads.

There is an extra toilet and shower in the barn and this is much better. The pitches are large and well spaced out around the perimeter, with the 1st field being EHU.

A dog walk surrounds the outside of the campsite with access from the 2nd field. Ball games and such can be played in the centre of the two very large fields though some kind of children's playground would be an advantage.

We plan another visit shortly as its convenient but enjoyable. Shops are situated about a 5min drive but there is a cafe on site which is open daily.

Reviewer: Frankies69 5 reviews from this member

 Once again an amazing stay at this site. First time with electric hook up.

Praise has to be given to everyone who works on and runs this site, the toilets and showers are always immaculate! Also the facilities where washing up is done is kept clean. The lady doing the cleaning was in and out all day long!

Everyone on the site is very friendly. We have two children one age 11 and one 3, the site has a quiet time from 11pm and is just perfect!

We have already booked to go back in July, can't wait!

It is perfect for walkers, bike riders or car drivers. Very close to Dimchurch railway, a short car drive. Close to Ashford for anything needed.

Only problem this time is we didn't have the weather but that not Romney Farms fault. Many thanks again to you all.

Look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.
