Two night stay

We booked this to attend ‘retro festival’ in Newbury as it’s close but not as expensive as camping at the festival. I booked it without reading the previous reviews and if I had read them first we would have missed out. This site was perfect for what we needed. A peaceful,... Show more

- No - and certainly not for us either! -

At this time of the year, when the scenery is looking beautiful, green fields and wild flowers, looking forward to sitting outside the caravan to enjoy a view and perhaps the smell of freshly mown grass....... and then you arrive at 'Darling Buds of May'! A bit of a... Show more

Great weeks holiday April 2019 good rest and relaxing site.

We were met on arrival and directed to the CL site. 2 units on site, but there was plenty of room to site exactly wherever you desired. Waste disposal could do with some upgrading as rather basic but adequate. Gentle walks along the banks of the river also shopping was close by. All the... Show more

The site is local to Newbury and within easy reach of A 339 & M4. May not be to everybodys liking but is better than many others in the area. It has on site shower/wc, fishing & walking, however shopping and parking close to shops is limited and requires a... Show more

NOT FOR ME

Appears to be a strange set up. Garden Centre run down. Long grass. Appears to be quite a few long term residents in very old units who tend to walk their dogs all round the site at unusual hours. Very expensive for what you get!! ... Show more

Pleasant

We stayed here for 2 nights to attend the Newbury Motorhome Show which was 9 miles approx in distance. We had seen the reviews but still booked as it was easy access from show and provided shower /toilet facilities and electric. Our impression of the site is better than previous reviews.... Show more

Mixed

Stayed here to attend Battle proms at Highclere- 'Downton'. The access is poorly signed and overgrown so the gateposts and CL sign are almost invisible - and quite a tight turn if you have a long outfit. The whole area has an unkempt and uncared for feel. The field is... Show more
