THE HISTORY OF SWISS FARM

Swiss Farm was taken over by the Borlase family in 1946. In those days most of the land was used for dairy cattle and a few chickens. Customers would stay on the farm in bell tents, often visiting from London and storing their belongings in the farm buildings.

In 1968, Harold William Borlase handed the business to his son Stephen who set about building up a poultry business on the farm with 25,000 chickens and bringing in pedigree beef cattle. As farming became less and less profitable, Stephen turned his attention towards tourism and put together an ambitious schedule of building work and landscaping.

Nearly 30 years later, in 1997, the business was taken over by his son Joseph who has continued to improve the park and introducing new goals to ensure Swiss Farm provides the very best camping experience.
