Good and not so good.

We visited this site for a long weekend in May. We were warmly welcomed by the owner and given advice on pitching as there had been a lot of rain and the field was very muddy in places. The site is within walking distance of the Three Counties Showground.The Malvern Hills are only a short drive away. On the downside, it's a fairly large field but pitching options are limited as all the EHU's are along one side of the field, this means that unless you have an extra lead all units are pitched close to each other at one end of the field. The grass had been cut, but it hadn't been collected, so there was a lot of loose wet grass sticking to boots shoes etc. There were six units on site on our second day, one of them, a fairly large campervan, was pitched very close to our caravan and this restricted our view slightly. There is a lot of road noise from the nearby busy Gloucester Road so we wouldn't really describe the site as quiet and peaceful. All in all the site is ok, the owner is friendly, but due to the limited pitching options, lack of facilities, noise and the state of the field I don't think it's worth £14 per night. This is an increase of 40% on the (still) advertised price and something to consider when deciding to book.

Very Scenic

This is a great site and has fantastic views of The Malverns,it is very close to The Three Counties Showground. Unfortunatley when we arrived two caravan parties had pitched transversly across the ECUs in effect taking up most of the space,cars,washing line and barbecue abandon, this was a shame and spolit it for us. Other people coming onto the site complained but it didnt appear to resolve the issue. It is a nice site but a few enforced rules would make it more pleasurably for all who attend as opposed to those who get there first and think they own the place.

What a View !!!

We booked at Hillview Stables following the cancellation of our planned Steam Rally with Longbridge CCC at Much Marcle, but with the weather forecast to be warm and dry, we didn't want to miss out on our planned visit to the Westons Cider Factory, or to Hereford Cathedral. We chose Hillview Stables, as the location was absolutely ideal for the places that we wanted to visit. Only a few hundred yards away from the Three Counties Showground, this is the ideal location for anyone planning to tour around Worcester, Ledbury, Hereford, Malvern, Much Marcle and even Ross-on-Wye. We established that this is quite a new CL site, and there are already plans to develop a new shower and toilet block, with a small Social Room too. The site is alongside a superb all-weather floodlit Horse Jumping Show Ring, which is absolutely top notch, and it was lovely to watch the riders practising around the ring on the Saturday morning. There were so many beautiful horses to admire too. Sophie and her Mum, Mary, make you feel so welcome, and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent facilities and the 'views to die for' will ensure that we come back again.
