Pear Tree Farm Reviews

Great place

Needing a stopover on a long journey, was impressed with Pear Tree Farm. All the necessary facilities - water, electricity and a place to empty the 'Honey Pot,;' no children running about screaming at daft o'clock until pumpkin time. Dog friendly. Stay again? You bet! Thanks, Garry and Sara.

Lovely time in Dorset

We had this site to ourselves for 8 days. It is quite remote but the views are spectacular with associated exposure to wind! We were glad of our big Volvo to tow the caravan up the slope onto the site. We were glad of the secure entry. Garry was both welcoming and fair re the charge for electric. The ground is uneven but as long as you take care, it's fine. Being able to 'plumb in' was a real bonus. Bearminster is a gorgeous little town with delightful shops and pubs, as well as more expensive restaurants. We went out every day to somewhere new, travelling up to 90 mins and as little as 20 to more local attractions. We'd definitely visit again.

Great dog walks from the gate and fabulous views

Gary, the proprietor was a star. Nothing was too much trouble and he even leant a hand with bits for a temporary fix to our tow car exhaust. There were some great dog walks from the gate and fabulous views. I would definitely revisit, when I go back that way.

Peaceful retreat

Lovely level well thought out small site. With even more planned improvements, we will definitely revisit. The metered electricity was a huge bonus and the water points on every pitch make things very easy. Dog friendly with great walks on the doorstep.

Rural quiet stay with awesome views

If you want a quiet campsite with limited facilities, then this is perfect.

Beautiful peaceful site

We loved Pear Tree Farm. Great location for walking. Garry was very friendly and happy for us to depart later in the day. So peaceful, and a beautiful location. We will return!

Tranquil, scenic, gem of a site

Pear Tree Farm offers exactly what it says on the tin and much more. We found basic but working and well-planned out facilities, a level gravel-based pitch and a super friendly host who came to check we were settled in and had all we needed. We found complete quiet (except for birds and sheep bleating) and dark skies (except for an epic sunset). Plus there was the security and peace of mind of leaving our van to walk the countryside and at night, when the wind howled and the rain hammered down. The site has lovely views and is surrounded by fields with animals grazing. Just over the horizon, there are even more great views of the Dorset 'playmat' of fields and villages rolling down to the sea. If you like walking, this is a fabulous site. There are so many paths to explore and several pubs within walking distance. We went to Wyndham's Gap, which we cannot recommend enough for the beautiful walk there, the amazing food and little village of Chedington, the donkey sanctuary and the River Axe. The site owner is extending the site to offer the same number of pitches but to allow campers more opportunities to choose where they set up. We would love to return again. Thanks to Gary for a great stay!

Really enjoyed our stay here

Highly recommended, we would definitely stay again. Owner very friendly. Beautiful surroundings, very peaceful. Very safe and comfortable stay, kids thoroughly enjoyed it.

Beautiful peaceful spot

Had a lovely couple of nights here. So peaceful and away from it all. Will definitely come back as it was exactly what we wanted! There are no toilets or showers but that wasn't an issue for us. EHU and fresh water were available and the site had key code entry making it feel very secure. Lovely small site with room for 5/6 campers.

Perfectly described, nice and peaceful excellent views

Exactly as described. Only for people who are self contained, very well kept, lots of water points and lovely views, steep entrance but pitches only slightly sloped, needed chocks but ok.

Lovely and quiet

A small, quiet site with nice countryside views. Simple and secure, no showers or toilets but adequate electric hook up, fresh water and waste disposal available. Dog friendly but sheep next door so obviously need to keep them close. Remember to check you have a text message from the owner before arrival as you need the code to get in, however this makes it feel nice and secure. I would use this site again as it has everything I need and close to the beautiful town of Beaminster.

Lovely spot

Lovely spot, nice and quiet as we wanted, with lovely views and sunsets. Think we might need a new clutch on the car though, that steep entrance track is not for the faint hearted. We'll be back, but maybe not until we get a bigger engine car!

Very quiet and private.

Very quiet, perfect for me. I was the only one on the site. Electric gate with easy access, very private and secluded, great view of the countryside. No toilets or showers is the only downfall. Apart from that, it was great!

Peaceful relaxing stay.

My daughter and I stayed two nights at Pear Tree Farm. Had a lovely relaxing time. The site is sloped but the pitches are pretty level. We had no need for ramps. The view was lovely. Water taps and electric hook-ups easily accessible. It was a very hot weekend but the pitch was shaded by trees, so van stayed cool but still managed a sunbathe in the open area. As two women, we felt very secure in the gated site. The friendly site owner, Gary, came to check all was ok and he was easy to contact, though we didn't need to. Will definitely go again!

Our stay

Great farm site, out of the way and in perfect peace. Only 5 pitches, but great gated site and great to get way from the noise and just take in the countryside. You do need your own facilities. We're definitely visiting again. The farmer is a very nice bloke.

Our stay

Lovely views and generally very quiet. You will need toilet and shower facilities of your own. The entrance is quite steep, so a good 4x4 is recommended.

Our stay

Stayed here over the Easter weekend, very peaceful, clean, and tidy and really lovely views over the countryside. Would stay here again.

A great find

We really enjoyed our stay at this site. It was so peaceful and we really felt like we were away from it all, in the heart of the countryside, with just sheep for company. The electric security gate was a bonus too. It’s only a small site but we prefer that and as we had our own facilities in the motorhome we didn’t mind that there wasn’t a shower block or toilet. A great find for a night or two. The communication from Garry was immediate and welcoming.

Beautiful sunset views

The gentleman messaged before we arrived welcoming us and giving us advice on how to get to the farm. The view across the fields when you camp up is lovely. There weren't any facilities, however this is stated before booking.

Great host

This site is very clean with running water and electricity. It is basic which was what we expected for the price. Garry was a great host. He couldn't have been more helpful and friendly, even came to fetch us when we got lost! He was worth the price alone. Thanks

Site's response

A great value site for people with fully equipped vehicles. Good views. Thoroughly nice owner and interesting to chat to. Well thought out development by a motorhomer!
