Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton has become a tourist hotspot in recent years after Jeremy Clarkson took over running the business.
He documents his day-to-day adventures - and mishaps - on the farm in Clarkson's Farm and opened his own farm shop at the location back in 2020.
The popularity of the farm's shop often leads to hundreds of fans flocking to the small Oxfordshire location in one go.
This has led to disputes between Clarkson and the local council as well as neighbouring villagers in Chadlington due to congestion and other issues.
However, one fan had another complaint up their sleeve when Clarkson shared a peek at his latest family getaway.
Clarkson had taken to Instagram earlier this week to share a snap of a nearby harbour with four yachts floating in the water.

PASpotting the chance to take a pop at Clarkson and his farm shop's prices, one follower replied: "Are all 4 yours @jeremyclarkson1?
"I’ve seen the prices for chilli chutney in the farm shop," followed by laughing emojis.
Clarkson hit back at the fan's complaint about the farm shop's prices as he replied: "That’s what it costs to make it.
"If you want to ruin farmers, buy it for less in the supermarket."
A number of fans applauded Clarkson for his brutal response, with one fan replying: "Doing more for British farming than Countryfile have done in decades!"
While a second echoed: "Don't like the price don’t buy it, it’s that simple, I’m sure you will find something in Lidl nice a cheap."
And a third hit out: "If you don't want to pay the price off chill chutney then don't buy it I don't Clarkson gives a f*** if you didn't go and buy it from the supermarket."
However, the initial commenter did return to the replies to point out that their remark was made in jest.

Clarkson failed to respond to the user for a second time as his followers continued to show their support.
Throughout the week, Clarkson has shared several snaps from his French getaway, including snaps with his daughter and the picturesque blue skies he's seeing.
He and the rest of the Clarkson's Farm team will return to screens in season three once filming has wrapped in October.
