Spacious and well situated
“Old School” CL site. Tap, EHUs, chemical disposal. Large flattish slightly sloping site with long grass that, as in the review from six years ago, had just been cut and left so clippings were a constant feature in the van. Beautifully located for extensive views around but not entirely peaceful.... Show more

Perfect for exploring
Lovely CL set in beautiful scenery with easy access to the stunning Cleeve Hill with great walking routes. Easy access to cycle in the lanes too. Prestbury village is less than 2km with a Sainsbury’s under 3km.

The site address is shown as Southam Road, along which we travelled in both directions, as were were unable at first to locate the site. It would be better if the address was shown as "Gravel Pit Lane" which is printed in the Sites Directory, and which was recognised... Show more

Brilliant for visiting Cheltenham and walkers
We stayed here on our way home from Cornwall and it's a great location, just over 2 miles into the town, close to the racecourse and right behind Cleeve Hill with the most amazing views and footpaths for miles. Site itself is clean, scenic and easy to access. Huge field... Show more

Longmeade Farm
This was our second visit to this site, which we use to break up journeys to Wales. The site is handily situated for exploring the Cotswolds, and there is some excellent walking in the hills around Cheltenham. We did notice some noise from the site next door, but to be... Show more

Relaxed CL
A great relaxing site. Bev the owner always makes you feel welcome. Great location just outside Cheltenham with plenty of local walking. Also good for eating out with lots of pubs within a couple of miles.

Not too impressed
We have stayed at this CL but were not too impressed for several reasons. There is a big contractor's yard just through the hedge which in the daytime was very noisy, also traffic noise was quite prominent from the nearby main road. £12 per night is too much to pay... Show more

Great site!
What a great well planned site, the electric hook ups are down the centre of the field so if like us you don't want to be sited in a regimental row, your able to get well away from other vans. Lovely views and a good base for exploring surrounding areas, ie:... Show more
