Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We live local and wanted somewhere close to home, large enough to accommodate three generations and 2 dogs, somewhere "special" to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. OMG! what a wonderful weekend we had. We were very warmly welcomed and shown around the facilities. The whole farmhouse was toasty warm, clean and just gorgeous; all our needs were catered for: from a trolly to carry our bags, a fully functioning home with very comfy beds to tea and cake on arrival. The swimming pool was clean, warm, and just a wonderful place to swim, relax and spend a delightful afternoon. Everyone enjoyed the games room, which had a multitude of activities for all age groups to enjoy and the animals were a delight.

Perfect from start to finish. From a very warm and friendly welcome to the quality of the accommodation we could not have asked for better. We swam in the pool twice a day which was warm and spotless, the changing facilities were fabulous. We took our dog who was so well catered for. Top tip … read the info Debbie sends prior to your visit if you’re taking a dog as they provide everything. I didn’t read it and took his bed, blankets, mud daddy, toys etc and there was no need as everything was provided. Two great off lead areas. Torr cottage was positioned perfectly so we could see the children playing at all times. This was our first time visiting Compton Pool Farm but for sure it won’t be our last. Fabulous half term break, thank you.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect half term week - thank you Debbie and Paul! It’s our third time back and we look forward to our next trip. It really does have everything for families - the kids loved the car free area to run around, play on all of the play equipment, feed the animals, play tennis and of course go swimming! The games room also regularly frequented and well equipped for all ages!

My family and I have recently enjoyed a long week end at Compton Pool Farm. Our two young sons had the time of their lives, and made huge improvements in their swimming, thanks to the lovely heated pool situated just behind the cottage we stayed in. We enjoyed everything about Compton Pool Farm, and look forward to visiting again. The hosts, Debbie & Paul were attentive and caring. There is an abundance of wildlife around the pools, which was lovely to observe.

Our second visit to Compton Pool and it is still as good as ever. Spotlessly clean accommodation that is cosy and comfortable. Animals to feed and watch and a warm, clean swimming pool and play barn for kids to hang out in. Delicious home made cake on arrival too! Would thoroughly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay at The Farmhouse at Compton Pool Farm for my mum's 70th birthday. The Farmhouse was festively decorated and looked beautiful. Every little detail is thought of by the owners of Compton Pool who even left a box of essentials for our dog Alan including his own toy. The grounds of Compton Pool are impeccable and we made good use of the gym, pool and petting farm. It was a fantastic weekend and we will definitely return to Compton Pool soon. Thank you for making it sure a memorable stay.

All I can say is WOW. We booked the Farmhouse for a weekend 40th birthday family celebration and were absolutely delighted by the quality and attention to detail of the whole resort. The Christmas decorations were amazing and gave it such a lovely atmosphere. Much to our 2 year old granddaughters delight there was even complimentary food for the animals. As we had a mix of age groups the Games room and Swimming pool were perfect.

We've been here seven times now, most recently just a family holiday. Previously, we've had large family gatherings here, renting the main farmhouse and several other cottages. Debbie and her team have always been really helpful. The cottages are lovely, warm and well-equipped. The well-equipped games room and warm indoor heated swimming pool are real hits with all the children, grown-up and small alike. Allowing dogs is a real boon for us as they're part of our family; the dog packs Debbie provides are really well thought out. We love this place!
