A really lovely site
Horseshoe Farm
Decided to stay here for a family gathering locally. The owner was delightful and suggested it must be important to still come to the site. Pouring with rain and water flowing across the grass at the end of the wettest March for 40 years. Suggested we site the caravan at slightly higher ground, which was fine. Didn't really use the facilities but all fine.
It really is a delightful country site with lovely far reaching views and plenty of local wildlife to observe.
Lovely relaxing break and exactly what a good CL should be. Thank you.

Perfect
Horseshoe Farm
Idyllic, very peaceful and relaxing. Very close to the Cotswold Way, which is why we chose it. Plenty of space to sit outside. Be careful with the directions as some of the lanes are extremely narrow. Others have added directions. Needed ramps as site is uneven. Will certainly be back.
It's all been said, except easier directions
Horseshoe Farm
Great CL. Cvan friendly access via A432 few miles upto R/abt-last exit St Johns Way-follow 0.5m to 'Old Sodbury/Horton Sign on right which shows as Portway but immediately over grid and its Horton Road, follow across lovely common and over grid and follow road until junction, the CL is immediately opposite.
