 We have just returned from a three day stay at this camp site. The owner was incredibly helpful prior to our stay as were the staff during our stay. The site is small enough to be quiet but not so small so as to lose any facilities as it had two good shower blocks, hook up, washing area (clothes and crockery, private pitches and a small shop. There were even freezers which you could put your ice blocks in free of charge!
As the approach is quite narrow and up a steep hill it caters for campers and small camper vans only. While we were there, there were five other VW Campers staying too. Our pitch had a hardstanding and a grass area surrounding it which made it quite private. The site is terraced which means everyone gets a lovely view of the Lym Valley.
The nearby pub seemed popular at weekends but we didn't get a chance to try the food. The walk to Lyme Regis follows an easy route by the river and took us about 35 minutes brisk walk. Once there you can find plenty of places to eat. There was a good shop on the front for camping supplies with reasonable prices.
We absolutely loved it and hope to go back soon. I can recommend it to other Vee Dubbers to use without a doubt. I think the only improvement would be the facility to pay by card, but that is all!

Stayed here on the August bank holiday weekend and what a pleasant site it is too. Owners are very helpful and despite terrible rain in the days before our arrival the ground was well drained and relatively dry. This site is perfectly placed for Lyme Regis and surrounding areas. Excellent showers, clean and very hot water. The shop is stocked with all the things you might need like milk, papers and fresh bread. As the site is tiered, it enables excellent views over the valley. The site is thoroughly recommended and we will return in the future!

From the moment we arrived the owners/staff went out of the way to ensure we had a lovely time, they were really helpful and friendly.
The site is lovely with a great view of the Devon country side.
Showers were 20p for 4 and a half mins which was plenty, and if not you can just pop another 20p in!
Washing up sinks were clean and tidy, water was always hot while we were there (and it was fairly busy)
Only fault was that the hand dryer needs replacing in the ladies as it was pretty useless!
The shop was well stocked and had leaflets on places to go, bus timetables, taxi numbers etc.
We would recommend the riverside walk into Lyme, lovely walk, takes around 45mins, just ask in the shop and they will point you in the right direction.
If you like beautiful country side and 'postcard' seaside towns Lyme Regis is the place to go! The town called Beer is especially nice.
Overall a great place and a lovely site!

Just returned from a fantastic 3 night stay at this site. The views are just spectacular and it is nice to stay in a peaceful site instead of the ones where people can make as much noise as they like. We were not read any rules and everyone seemed very chilled out. The owners are very friendly.
The facilities are good but the shower floors were a bit grubby at times.
Nearby Lyme Regis is ok but very busy and touristy. The nearby beach at Seatown is lovely and there is also a pub there. Beer is also a nice village close by with good but steep walks.
Overall this is one of the best sites we have been to. You can hear sheep bleating during the day and owls hooting at night.

We were looking for somewhere for the August BH weekend in Dorset, we had left it late and booked this site at the last minute. We were so glad that we did it is one of my favourite sites and we would definitely return. Other reviewers have commented on the rules which were read to us (I thought for a moment I might have to sign them) but they were sensible ones and the owners ensured they were observed.
The site is on terraces and therefore there was a sense of not being overlooked. Facilities were very good and 20p gave me ample time for a shower which was always hot.
We had a problem with the EHU which the owner promptly fixed. Other campers were friendly.
After recovering from the fact we were in Devon! we enjoyed the beautiful countryside and the wonderful weather. The walk into Lyme Regis along the river is lovely as is the town. I would recommend a pint of the local Cobb bitter. Large Supermarket in Axminster (4 miles away).
A truly lovely site we will definitely go back

This is a beautiful site on a hill with views of the valley, the pitches are all flat as they've been terraced out, but ours was so ridiculously stony we could hardly pitch at all with regular pegs. V pegs went in better but we bought the industrial ones and swapped them over when the gale was due! HOWEVER the very friendly and helpful staff told us that they have de-stoned the bottom areas and are working up to do the middle area this year so shouldn't be a problem for long.
The top toilets area is a big space with around 10 toilets and 3 showers and quite old fashioned. These ones were always clean and the floor dry. The bottom toilets were the sort with the old pine seats that never seem clean, and the floor down there was shiny tiles that were always wet and very very slippery. We didn't use these ones much even though they were nearer to us.
The shop was great, Uplyme stores even better. It hardly stopped raining the whole time we were there and there wasn't any problem with muddy pitches that we saw-the staff were trying to channel run off down the paths away from the pitches.
The play area is tiny, but seemed to keep my 3 and the others amused-however there isn't any scope for them to play off around the site really aside from the actual prescribed area. No open space/woods etc.
Lyme Regis is great,overall we loved Hook Farm and we aim to return to experience better weather, and do the walk from the site into town.

We enjoyed our stay at Hook Farm campsite. The owners make a big effort to make the best of your holiday, they are very helpful and pro-active.
The view over the valley is wonderful from some pitches. We made the walk to Lime Regis with our 2 small kids and that worked out fine. But also by car Lime Regis is a short drive. The village is a pleasant stay.
There's a small playground for kids (with a boat on the ground: explain that one to a 4 year old!). Facilities are spacious and clean.
We preferred the pitches on the lower field because they are more spacious.
Fresh bread from 8.00 am.
Thanks again for a great visit to your campsite

Visited site for 6 nights in the peak of August. Toilets & Showers were always clean & tidy, however the 4.5 minute showers meant you had to work hard at finishing before the water stopped. The washing up facilities were OK but in busy times water was only warm & not hot! The site was a very peaceful & not much space for our 3 kids to play in. When we checked in the Rules were read out in detail ( Felt that we were in school again! However the advantage to the long list of rules is a quiet, peaceful site with no yobs or dogs. Would we visit again yes but only as a stop off on route.

Have just returned from a lovely stay at this site. We did book it some time ago and were really pleased with our pitch which was quiet and tucked out of the way. The site was very busy when we were there and we were grateful that we were not amongst the main body of the campsite.
The facilities I found to be very clean and usually there was plenty of hot water when I wanted to take a shower (20P for about 4.5 mins). The only problem I found was that the water pressure on the showers was a bit rubbish if the other showers were in use so you ended up with a really thick dribble of water instead of a proper shower! Yes, there were rather a lot of rules, however, to be honest I didn't have a problem with it, the kids were turfed off the play area at 8pm which seems quite fair enough considering there were lots of tents near to it without kids who probably welcomed the quiet!
Lyme Regis is lovely. Get there early for parking near the cobb and if you are going to do a lot of beach stuff there, invest in an extended parking ticket. Take a trip to Beer for rock pooling. Beautiful bay and relatively unspoilt. Talbot Arms is good for the standard pub grub, if you want something really special (you will pay for it though!), take a trip out to the wheelwright on the way out to Seaton. You will never taste fish and chips like it! service was wonderful and we know that they will take well behaved dogs in the bar too.
Overall a lovely site in beautiful area. Have booked again for next year so we can continue our adventures!

Stayed at Hook Farm for the Easter break. There had been a lot of rain so I rang beforehand to ask about the quality of the ground to be informed it was 'drying out nicely' and would be ok. Regrettably the site was a mudbath and I got stuck several times having to be towed out and sited by the owner Adrian. Yes it was kind to tow me out but really more of the site's pitches should have been closed as the grass/mud was in a terrible state.
We squelched our way through the weekend, and enjoyed it very much, but this was more to do with the beauty of Dorset than the site.
The facilities were clean and functional, very industrial in design, but plenty of toilets and powerful showers (20p for approx 10 mins)
They have a well stocked shop and friendly welcome. The site is located 5 mins from the main road where there is a pub (good pint of Aspalls) which had strange opening hours for food - for example no food on Bnk Hol Monday
The bus stops are at the main road and buses are once per hour & on time we used them as the campervan was stuck in the mud. There is a lovely riverside walk into Lyme Regis which is lovely with lots of birdlife. Lyme Regis is fabulous with plenty to see and good restaurants and shops.
Would we go back yes in better weather it is quiet and nestles in a valley, it's proper camping nothing fancy, but could do with more hard standing pitches.

Arrived home yesterday from a two week stay at this park. We arranged to arrive early and were able to leave our unit on site whilst we went into Lyme for breakfast and wander round. Went back to the site around 1 and were shown to our pitch with a warm welcome. The site is terraced up a hill with one or two ramps onto some pitches.
The facilities were all fine, although with having a pitch near the play area both facility blocks were up hill either there or back! The showers are 20p for 4.5 minutes which isn't a problem for us. There are also freezers available for those using freezer blocks. Shop was fine but fairly limited stock compared to some camp shops we've seen - provides all the basics though (bread, milk, bacon etc). Washing machine was £2.50 & tumble dryer £1.50.
The playground is small but seemed to please most of the children using it - our 2 are both 7 and made plenty of friends. Our only issue with the site was that we were next to the play area and people used our pitch as an entry/exit point to the play area. The site manager was made aware of this and said they have plans to try & limit this in future. Play area was closed around 8.00pm. Nice walks possible direct from the campsite too.
If visiting Lyme then use the car park at the top of the hill leading to the Cobb - £1 to park all day. The car park near The Cobb is more convenient but costs around £1/hour.
Lymes Fish Bar seemed the best for Fish & Chips - they have a hut by the main sandy beach and a shop near Town Mill. The Cobb Fish Bar at the bottom of the main street wasn't as good and seemed expensive for what we had.
Town Mill Bakery is good for a different sort of breakfast and Herbies (again by the main beach) do the usual burger & chips but also serve fish from the local fishmonger round the corner (I had whitebait one day which was lovely).
Mackerel fishing from the Cobb is good - around £8 for adults and £6 for children. Lifeboat week was interesting for the children, with the carnival running 2 weeks after (w/c 7th August in 2010)
Beer & Pecorama are worth a visit, as are Sidmouth and Abbotsbury. The passport for the attractions in Abbotsbury is good value if visiting more than one of the attractions, with our favourite being the tropical gardens.
A good, clean, well run campsite in a great location - we'll be going back one day!

On arrival we found it very regimental and were given a printed list of do's and don't's. In particular no noise after 11pm - this did not concern us as we had 3 children under 8, however to our surprise we were asked to keep the noise down whilst taking in our own tent at 11.05 - we had only just got our children off to sleep.
If you will be asleep by 11 then you would love this site because it really is no noise after 11.
Lovely walk into Lyme Regis but not suited to prams. Local pub served great food unfortunately our experience found hair (possibly from pubs dog) in 3 of 10 meals.
Campsite very crowded and felt overlooked, ground very stony. Will not return

I have just returned from a lovely week at Hook Farm. We stayed in a static van while my inlaws had a pitch for their caravan.
The site is on a steep hill with narrow roads and no pavements.
The static was great. It was clean and had fantastic views from the balcony. The electric was metered and we put £2.00 in for the week.
The pitch my inlaws had was of good size as were most the pitches we saw.
The shower block needs updating and it is very annoying when you go to wash the pots and there is no hot water.
There are rather a lot of rules and yes you will be told if you are caught breaking any.
The shop has the basics and is open all day.
The staff are friendly and helpful.
The walk to Lyme Regis is lovely and well worth doing as you can catch the bus back up the hill. (£1.20pp and runs hourly)
All in all I would recommend this site. It is clean and is in a good location.

The setting for this site is beautiful and well laid out, but as others have said, at busy times it does feel a bit crammed in. The biggest problem with Hook Farm is the facilities. There are only 5 showers - two of which we were told to 'use early as the hot water runs out quickly'! Not really acceptable considering this is not a cheap site to stay on. The owners really need to spend more on the showers - having to queue for 20 minutes in the morning for a cold shower spoils things somewhat.
The childs play area is one boat and two tyre swings and not suitable for those little ones.
Another little gripe is the list of rules. They are long and break them at your peril. You will get a 'quiet word' from the owners who will give advice on how to drive, park, keep the grass nice, etc etc. However, the advantage to the long list of rules is a quiet, peaceful site with no yobs or vicious dogs.
The shop is very basic, but does provide all the basics (and some bizarre tinned foods).
The local pub has excellent, good value food and is easy to walk to. Lyme Regis is a good, fairly easy 30 minute walk.
The campsite itself is very dog friendly, as is the whole area, which makes a lovely change for us dog lovers.
Overall, the site is good, but is in need of updating - definitely more showers and hot water please!

This is an excellent site - we had a good pitch & views. Friendly & helpful staff. Possibly the best toilet block I have been to- very clean & spacious. Village pub was friendly with several real ales & the Post Office has a good selection of food. There is a regular (hourly ) bus service to & from Lyme though the last bus back is 9.30. It's also a nice walk along the river to Lyme & easy to find the route. Definitely recommend.
