Country View Camping

We had a fantastic stay at Country View Camping this weekend. Patrick was an excellent host from start to finish, friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help. The facilities were superb, spotlessly clean, well maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views were absolutely stunning and really made the whole experience special. The campsite offers incredible value for money and is worth every penny. We enjoyed it so much that we’ve already booked to come back again. We couldn’t recommend Country View Camping highly enough and are already looking forward to our next visit. Thanks again, Patrick!

Nothing

Great hosts!! All the staff was brilliant, super friendly and like one big family, made us feel very welcomed! There's a little family-friendly bar/restaurant on site serving some food which is very convenient, and also had darts, pool table and karaoke, which definitely made our evenings! Outside also has a nice little playground area for the kids, they absolutely loved it. The beds in the tents were comfortable. Location was excellent - near Longleat safari part and Stonehenge.

The tents were smaller than what the pictures would suggest, though still ok for 2 adults and two young kids. The showers/toilets area is quite cold as it's open to the elements, but we kind of expected that from a camping site. Some things could have been a little bit cleaner (like the cutlery), and we felt like overall it was a bit on the expensive side for what it was. Breakfast was also not quite up to scratch and a bit overpriced (although we massively appreciated the effort of serving us early in the morning!!!). A little investment on a proper coffee machine wouldn't be wasted! ;)

The weather was very chilly at night (2 or 3degrees C). Patrick very kindly offered to moved 3 of the 4 of our family groups, to cabins rather than yurts booked. We would have really been frozen in yurts. One of our family groups , very used to camping in all weathers, were in a yurt as only 3 cabins vacant; they were fine in there (they'd brought extra blankets, super warm sleeping bags). We were very grateful for Patrick's thoughtfulness in upgrading our accommodation! The 'cabins' are almost finished, in that a toilet is planned to be added which would be great. The beds were extremely comfortable. We used the woodburner in the cabins.. Patrick was super friendly and helpful. The cafe/bar area was great. The atmosphere was warm, cosy and friendly. It was brilliant that there's a pool table plus darts. Lots of tables, chairs and a comfy sofa in cafe area. Lovely views and peaceful location, yet only 25mins from Frome, Somerset, which we visited. Nice covered area next to cafe to sit and have a drink, relax. The attractive fairy lights strung along paths at night gave a great atmosphere. Lovely small play area for young kids. A good location generally. To use the wood burner in the 'cabins'. you buy a bag of wood for £25. We were there from Friday night till Sunday morning. We were there to celebrate, belatedly my February birthday so were looking for a place that fitted well for our group's needs. Age range from 5 months to 75 years! This place did enable us to all get together and have a fun, brilliant time. Overall we had a great weekend there. It was excellent for young children and families like us. Our family comprised 13 people, 6 kids, including a baby of 5 months. Parking great. Overall we had a great weekend there. It was excellent for young children and families like us.

Unheated shower block - cold weather last weekend - shower/toilets area exposed to the elements; so very cold in there. The shower I first tried was only giving out cold water. This got sorted as energy problems the day before. Patrick was very apologetic and was always super helpful and friendly - a great host. Loo rolls in toilets almost ran out. We had brought our own after reading reviews here. BTW there was a small charge for my well behaved dog of £10 per night. I brought his food, bowls, poo bags - and bed - so no extra work for them. On the Sunday our family wanted to have a cooked breakfast there but when we left at 11.00ish, the cafe/restaurant remained closed (we were not aware of this). So we all left, in search of breakfast and hot drinks. (Luckily I had brought my own breakfast). No internet available. Although woodturner in cabin, we didn't want it to burn all night - our gave out some smoke. I was extremely cold at nighttime. The duvet was a thin summer one. I had to wear, pjs, dressing gown, thermal layer to keep warm enough to sleep. I'd advise taking extra blankets and even your own duvet if cold weather likely!

Great place to stay. Fantastic location.

Could have been cleaner in the shower section.
