Absolute Gem
First time we have stayed at a CL site, we have always tended to book the larger sites. The two sites are either side of the beautiful house, one being a grass field next to the very quiet road. The other predominantly hard standing set slightly further back. Both back onto fields of sheep. We found the site extremely easy to find, the sat nav was spot on for a change. Peter, the host, came to meet us within 15 mins of our arrival, and was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. There is an information hut with maps, leaflets, suggested walks etc which was helpful. Bibury itself is a 20 mins walk into the village(personally I wouldn’t drive down during the day as it gets very busy and the parking is a bit of a free for all. I feel for the residents as it must drive them mad). We walked along the river to the lovely village of Coln St Aldwyns(around a 6 mile round trip) where there is a lovely local store and tea room. There is a bus stop at the end of the lane, a five minute walk away. The buses are infrequent but we caught the 10.37 into Cirencester which arrived on time, the return journey was spot on too. You can go all the way up to Bourton on the water I believe. The wi-fi is free and extremely good, we managed to watch VIrgin go with no buffering at all so didn’t need to fiddle with the Tv aerial. Each pitch has its own hook up and water and the chemical waste is a very short walk away, although there are no showers or toilets. We couldn’t find any negatives at all with the site, if you want peace and quiet in a lovely surrounding then it’s perfect.
