I will never forget walking down the dirt lane and rounding the corner to see a small sign on a small building (Ice Cream). I looked inside. No one was around, but through the door on the other side of the room I saw stables with straw. Inside the door to the right was a small Ice Cream freezer with a small selection of ice creams. I had hollered "Hello?". But there was no answer so I continued to look at the ice creams for a short time when a lady came through the stables. I don't remember the flavor, but it was Wonderful...Dreamy...Creamy and Wonderful. You won't get that from the factory Ice Cram manufacturers.
Troy Town ice cream is simply the best I’ve ever tasted. I’ve tried ice cream from San Francisco to Sidney. This is the best!!
Stunning location by the sea. Quiet, good value for money, clean, free charging facilities. Quite exposed to the elements. Pub only does food from 12.30-2pm and 6-8pm- but it is nice. Post office very expensive and coastguards cafe expensive too.
I turned up and just got left to it. Was not sure what to do? Didn't find people that friendly or helpful. Very confusing trying to sort out boat trips to other islands as you were supposed to look the times up on social media- but most of the time at the campsite there was no Internet connection. Other islands have boards with times on.
Came away feeling disappointed, frustrated however if there was more information available this would have been avoided.
For one amazing week, we lived in a tent on an Ice Cream farm, overlooking the most amazing sunsets, lovely beaches. I loved every minute. Snorkeling, rock scrambling, and exploring rock pools. The views all around in the area are unspoilt and spectacular. You can do a short walk or a long trek twisting around the island... And while the island is small, it is big on features and it is so easy to just find your own private space and relax.
Everyone at Troytown was incredibly nice, and they handled the logistics of getting our camping gear to and from the campsite to make our arrival and departure a breeze.
Love this ice cream. It's the best I've ever tasted and I've tasted a few. The white chocolate was amazing as was the peanut butter and vanilla. So pleased you can buy it in a few places on the islands.
Our first visit to Troytown Farm Campsite and we weren't disappointed. From the moment we arrived off the ferry we were greeted by Sam who took out kit leaving us to make our way to camp. We stayed in a bell tent which was very well equipped. We came with our 8 month old son, a travel cot was kindly provided which saved extra luggage to travel with. The facilities were clean. The ice cream, steak, yoghurt, butter and bacon were all delicious. We waited 2 years in the end for this holiday and it was well worth the wait. We will be back. Staff were friendly and nothing was too much to ask. Thank you 😊
Ideal scenic camping location! The inquisitive seals came quite close to the our camp site for a little nosy to the delight of the kids!
I recommend the ice-cream on this farm. It is the BEST Ice-cream, I have ever had!
Also, the staff were very friendly. 5 🌟
Exceptional ice cream. Possibly the best in England.
Such a beautiful place, both the people that run it and the location. I can’t fault anything from the stunning views, clean facilities and helpful manner for a novice camper. I was there at a quiet time and had the most relaxing time where I fully reset. And a special mention to the island post office/ store for having such a great range of ingredients in a small place.
Not having camped for years it was pure joy to be in such a fabulous location, such helpful and friendly hosts and even be able to sample the clotted cream and ice cream made on site. For anyone who wants ‘real’ camping in what must be the best location anywhere with the most stunning sunsets over the ocean, this is it! There’s even the opportunity to jump in a kayak and paddle over to see the puffins!
Able to walk through working farm, great ice cream. Views good of course, wished I'd packed my trunks, paddle boards avaliable in cove.
Beautiful! Probably the best ice cream I've ever tasted! And what amazing views......glorious!
