I am loath to be negative for the sake of it, so hopefully my comments will be received as constructive, and improvements made.  It is unfortunate that on arrival, after initially travelling down a very pleasant farm drive with paddocks either side,you are then routed directly through the centre of what is an untidy mixture of sheds and barns complete with assorted clutter scattered all around. Whilst this is not that unusual on some farm CL's, they usually lead to better things. At the time of our visit the grassed area didn't seem to have been cut regularly, the surrounding margins again needed trimming and tidying.The adjacent very useful hard standing concrete area is shared with a redundant silage clamp, now being used to store what looked like treated imported manure, for spreading on to the fields post harvest (Trust me I know, I used to farm!) complete with unacceptable effluent seepage. Surely this should be stored elsewhere? The site toilet was clean and well presented with informative notices on display inside,but again the surrounding refuse and recycling facilities were untidy. Simple robust fencing is all that is needed. Poor forward planning means that an opportunity to integrate foul waste water disposal close by to the toilet block seems to have been missed, instead you are forced to walk to another corner of the yard and lift an inspection cover.    This could and should be so much better. Standish Court Farm is located in fairly tranquil countryside, handily placed for either overnight stops from the M5 or extended days walking the nearby Cotswold Way. It desperately needs a more thoughtful and committed approach from the hosts. Modest investment in a number of one off improvements would release the potential to profit. 

Reply from the CL owner:

Thank you very much for your constructive comments. We are glad that you found the site toilet clean and well-presented and the information board and leaflets helpful. We have tidied up the re-cycling facilities and relocated the storage of chicken litter away from the site. We wish you had mentioned your concerns to us at the time and we would have done our best to address them as we are always welcome to suggestions. The site is now clear, tidy and mown for the 2017 season.
