I've visited Watertop each year only as a day visit never camped here and I'll keep coming back. Brought different friends each time and they'll all enjoyed the farm. You really need to go on a nice day, thankfully the weather has always been good to us as all activities outdoors. Lovely area to bring a picnic or you can... More

I have camped many times at Watertop for nearly twenty years and have always had a relaxed enjoyable time. It is a great place for some peace and quiet and I am glad there is an 11 o'clock noise rule, this is standard practice in most European sites. Watertop is a welcome break from the alcohol fuelled all night noise... More

We visited the farm last week for the 3rd time this year, so I felt I should do it justice in my review. We took my sister's children age 5, 7,8 and would go back every week if we could! the weather wasn't great but that never seems to bother the kids! Cannot understand the negative reviews, there are plenty... More

We looked forward to taking our grandchildren to the farm on Sunday, but we were very disappointed. There are very little animals, 2 sheep, a couple of pigs, baby chicks under a light and a couple of pups. There is a walk around the farm about a mile, the surrounding countryside is lovely but you have to be very careful... More

Oh dear you really had a bad day at watertop. I can only apologise for the things you have mentioned that you found lacking. We do have a few more animals than those you mentioned however Watertop is not like many of the other Farms which accept visitors. We concentrate on activities rather than animals. We are not that comfortable... More

Just spent a great day out with our grandchildren last sunday at Watertop Farm. It was our first ever visit there and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We are always looking for new places to visit on a day out and this certainly did not disappoint. With some outings we are always looking for ways to fill the time... More

I don't like giving anyone bad reviews so bear with Me. I chose Watertop as other farms near to where we were staying had received terrible reviews and this one had good reviews. We visited on Monday 13th August, now to be fair the weather in the Morning was horrendous. Unfortunately there were very little animals to see, maybe we... More

I am sorry you were disappointed with your visit to Watertop. Unfortunately the rain is not something we have any control over! I am a little surprised by your comments about the lack of animals. I wonder did you actually get to the small animal house where we do indeed have piglets, lambs, rabbits, chicks and pups. In the main... More

Myself and my family have stayed at this site at least 4 or 5 times every summer over the list 5 yes. The reason being is that the kids love it and they have a lot of freedom to play out all day and into the evenings.

I must apologise for the washing machine problems. It has since been replaced with a new one so hopefully no more problems there. I am sorry the showers were not as you would wish. They are cleaned everyday and we do replace the curtains regularily but obviously not often enough. There is no doubt that when we are busy the... More
