Old Bidlake Farm Reviews
Kate, Bournemouth Dorset
"We had a wonderful half term break at this beautiful campsite, amazing owners who went out of their way to make our experience perfect. All the extra touches make this campsite a hidden gem, would definitely recommend and we will be returning soon”
Rob Evenage, Hertfordshire
“A lovely campsite in a beautiful location. The amenities at the site are second to none. Kitchen facilities are very welcome. They had a hot plate, kettle, and indoor and outdoor eating spaces. Which proved invaluable with our young children. Kids loved it also. I also had a superb massage which was most welcome after running around after the kids”
Fluer H Somerton, Somerset
“We had a lovely time staying at Old Bidlake Farm over the bank holiday with our 2 children, 5 and 7. Simon and Emily were ever so welcoming and friendly. The spot was beautiful and tranquil and reminded us how special our countryside is. The facilities were great and although we didn’t need it, their outside undercover dining table and snug full of books and boardgames looked super for rainy days! We look forward to coming again!”
