After reading the previous reviews we decided it's was mainly due to busy periods, hence some poor reviews however.
As these reviews are about the sites not the location etc I will keep the two sides apart.
When you arrive there are signs everywhere yet none telling you where to check in, total farce.
The toilets were gross, the toilet brushes were black, the gents hadn't seen paint for eons and dirty bits on the floor were still there 4 days later.
The Ladies, on the second day my Wife noticed some coloured Mouth wash on the sink from the previous day, again 4 days later it was still there.
My wife telephoned to say the Toilets needed cleaning and toilet roll was needed, she was assured cleaners came twice weekly, no apology was made but toilet rolls and bleached toilets appeared shortly. Next day though all the dirty stuff was still there.
The site was a building site which we weren't warned about when enquiring with the owner who was on holiday, new shower blocks I think plus new pitches are in hand ( very narrow ones ).
Animal wise we didn't see any Pigs or Chickens just Sheep, Llamas and people's Horses.
The footpath to the cove is a public walkway and a Dog motorway as all the locality use it so the narrow path gets very busy with people and Dogs passing each other, it's very busy.
Walks to Weymouth are good and the Bus is only £6 return from a stop about 1/4 mile away near the pub, the pub mentioned in reviews which was just a miserable high street type nothing very nice.
In summary Weymouth was superb, the site location ok but a little seedy but the site is best avoided sadly.
The location of the site is stunning, overlooking Chesil Beach and the Fleet with animals in the surrounding fields. Unfortunately there were not enough facilities for the number of people at the site given that it was August, 3 women's and 3 men's showers, with 3 women's and 2 men's toilets (cubicles only). This made for quite painful queuing in the morning and the men's showers lacked locks!
The site and visitors were child friendly although there were no play facilities for children. The local pub is very welcoming and the food is delicious and worth a visit!
We arrived on site to what felt like a force 10 gale and rain and attempted to put up our awning. We were very fortunate that 2 other campers spotted us and took pity and assisted us - thank you! The wind coming in from the sea was an ongoing issue with the site, however, this was the only issue - not one the owners could do a great deal about and one to be put up with for the stunning sea view we had.
The toilets are probably the cleanest I have seen on a site and we have been to a fair few and the owners were super helpful and welcoming. On the 2nd day of our stay our children were invited into the gardens of the guest house to see the farm animals which was lovely and a nice touch.
A lovely campsite with fab views - would recommend!
This site really is a tale of two halves. They are fortunate enough to be based in a lovely location(once you get through the housing estate)overlooking the sea, so as you would expect the views on some of the pitches are stunning, in addition they have a field of grazing Alpaca's which adds to the views and are nice to see.
However, sadly the site itself is not so good. On arrival we were surprised by the general standard of the yard, it was run down and looked very uncared for and to be honest was not at all welcoming, we love natural farm sites and stay at them regularly so no issue there, but this just felt a bit grotty, in addition the lack of clear signage made it difficult to find where you had to book in which was frustrating.
Sadly there was also a problem with lack of communication between owners/staff. We were told they did not want a deposit (though we did offer to pay one) but on arrival it became clear our booking which had been specifically requested and okayed on the phone may not be honoured, and we were told they were 'not sure about that, have to see what we can do' which was not a great welcome. Then a day or so later having paid on arrival another gentleman came around and said 'had we paid' as the man who booked us in and took our money had not given us a tag to display it looked like we hadn't paid when we had, and l was told 'everyone who pays gets a tag', which made me feel very uncomfortable.
In addition the facilities were barely adequate in the ladies and not especially clean, but worse still my Husband really struggled to get a shower as there were so few and so many people, he gave up after going backwards and forwards 3 times one morning and used the washroom in the caravan.
The site got busy while we were there and they actually started putting units all over the place including in animal fields and on the dressage yard, also they started using splitters as there was not enough hook up points so there was wires trailing across fields etc.
It's a shame because in the right hands with a good re-organise and tidy up this could be a nice little site, but there are so many other better well run sites to stay in at Weymouth we won't be back.
Ispent 3 days here in early June and was very impressed. The view overlooking the coast is beautiful, and thankfully it was quiet at the time. The facilities tollets showers washing up area are fine and very clean. AsI was their for the Folk Festival weekend all the supplies anyone would need are available nearby. Their are sheep nearby, and Alpacas who were about to be sheered as I arrived!. I think the working farm aspect of the site benefits the visitors. I shall Return!
Set in 15 acres of breathtaking countryside,right next door to the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, this site offers stunning views of the Chesil Bank, Fleet Lagoon, and Lyme Bay. Welcoming tents, motorhomes and caravans, this family friendly site offers spacious grass pitches with or without electric. For kids there's an outdoor heated swimming pool, 3 acre playing area including slides, swings and more.
Facilities include toilets, showers, washing up, launderette, and WifI. There is an onsite shop and off-licence. The Bar in the Barn at the site serves a delicious food and offers a variety of entertainment, including live music. As well as the attractions of Weymouth's beach and harbour, this is a great base to explore family attractions throughout South and West Dorset. Find out more here
A lovely little site right next to Chesil Beach and the Fleet. It has everything you could possibly need and is only a stones throw from the village centre with shops, pub etc. The bus service into Weymouth is frequent so there are plenty of options even on a rainy day.
The ladies shower units were really nice and modern. I did, however, have to take a very cold shower as they seemed to have run out of hot water. The site was only half full so if they run out of hot water that quickly, I can see a potential problem in peak season. It may be that this was a one-off, but it certainly didn't make for a nice experience on a cold May morning!
Other than that I can only say good things about it and the cold shower won't stop us from visiting again. If they can sort out that bit, I'd give it 10 out of 10!
Stayed with 2 grand daughters for 8 days on a hard standing serviced pitch.
The pluses for the site are the great views, the animal farm for the children, the location close to the main Weymouth bus route and shops at Wyke and the great attitude of the owners.
The laundry is very good. There were no problems filling aquarolls or disposal of waste water.
On the negative side access is not easy with a caravan, especially when the site is busy. Also on the final weekend the place was full, the toilet and showers were not sufficient for the numbers. Under these conditions it is difficult for the facilities to be kept clean. Unfortunately some holiday makers leave things in a deplorable state after use.
I would recommend this site, however beware of the popular weekends.
I think this is sadly a site we will not be returning to. There were only 3 showers in the ladies, which were not kept very clean. I would prefer not to shower with the previous users body hair stuck to the floor of the shower! The site felt generally neglected, I thought the B & B was of more priority to the owners. The location is very good, with good sea views and good walks in area. No shop. Unhygeinic hand towels in gents toilet, with use of cotton towels, which were grubby. Gents toilets sounded like they need some upgrading! Very long walk (very rough ground) to showers and toilets. One tap in the distance to cover site. Would not recommend. Strangely, no receipt for the deposit - all other sites have always emailed or posted this.
Management response: Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review and we're really pleased you enjoyed our location here on the spectacular Jurassic Coastline.
We're a small site and are constantly upgrading it. This year we've added hard standing pitches and a covered area for washing up so our campers don't get wet. Last year we built a beautiful new ladies' shower block which has been very well received. As you can see from other reviews cleanliness is extremely important to us and it has been noted that our showers are cleaned and replenished with towels, toilet rolls and soap twice daily. Of course it's impossible to clean every shower each time they are used! Gent's toilets are now stocked with paper towels. Our site is on clay so we've added gravel to the pathways to avoid mud and puddles.
The water tap is at the entrance to the field and our small farm shop is in the farmhouse porch. We sell homemade jams and marmalade, our own free range bantam, chicken, duck and goose eggs, our Martleaves reared lamb sausages and produce from the garden when available.
Receipts are always available on request.
Additional staff would be required to e mail and post receipts which would then mean an increase in site charges I'm afraid.
We hope you find somewhere more to your liking in the future.
We stayed at Swallow's Rest in June 2015 in a motorhome on one of the new hardstanding pitches. The site was lovely, tidy and quiet with beautiful views. The children really loved watching the lambs from the window and playing with the pigs in the garden! The site is near to shops and bus stops and we used the bus to get to the town and beach. Site facilities were lovely and clean and even though there are only three showers in the ladies block, we never had to wait for them to be available.
This is a lovely campsite that we will return to if we are ever in the area again.
Dont be put off by the drive to this site, once you are on the field its location location. It has stunning views across the fleet, chesil beach and the sea beyond. There is a short walk down to the feet and footpaths can be followed. Its also possible to swim in the fleet. We found Weymouth to be very cycling friendly. A short 5 minute ride down to the Ferrybridge and routes picked up from there. The facilities were fine and kept clean. The warden was very helpful and friendly. Its a 5 minute walk to shops and bus stops. Its definitely a site to return to.
