Convenient for M5

We only stayed one night on our way to Cornwall. Only a few minutes off the M5 and very easy to access. We were directed to the Field View site but had booked the Wood View site which has a better outlook. The mistake was soon put right though and we got settled in, There is a very nice dog walk through the wood next to the site which we did. If we were coming to stay in this area we would certainly consider having a few days on this site

Good CL, but we did not choose the ideal week!

We only had a few days' notice that this CL was having electrical work done during our stay and we decided to shorten our visit, rather than move to the adjacent CL partway through. Even so, we did have a digger working very close to our pitch part of the time, so it wasn't as peaceful as usual (we've been here before). We did not see the owners at all but arrival information was comprehensive and this CL is well run, clean and secure with a code entry gate at night. I feel it is worth making readers away that it does take a good 30 minutes to get to the centre of Bristol from the CL, which is worth bearing in mind if you plan to go in and out several times. The electrical work was to convert the hook-up bollards to a coin-operated, pay-as-you-go system for electricity on the pitch. Personally, this would only appeal to us if the pitch price was significantly reduced to reflect that the rate was no longer all-inclusive, but it may not be an issue for anyone else.

Convenient access to motorways and easy access for larger outfits.

Not much I can add to previous reviews except be sure to take that first left in Hortham Lane. It is a turn even though the road name stays the same. The straight-on option is marked as a dead-end. You will be allocated to one of the two sites on arrival. There is water close to each pitch but we were asked not to make a direct connection as they have had issues with leaks in the past. Drainage is to a hedgerow. The CDP is fitted with a fine filter which will not allow poo to go through - look for the hanging metal hook which you can use to remove the filter.

Good Ste for Access to Bristol and Motorways

We received good communication from Annalise on what to do on arrival, directions we're excellent too, access to the site was easy but we wish we'd known we could just pitch on any that were vacant as this was not clear, in the end that's what we did and there was no problem. Although there was a water tap on our pitch, this was shared with the next one along, that was fine as it meant it was easy to fill out barrel. Waste was emptied into the hedge. Although the pitch was hard standing, we were able to put the awning on grass which is so much easier. We felt very private as we were surrounded by a hedge. Field View is very nice, with views looking across to grass and trees, it was hard to believe we were close to a city. The motorways were close and you can just about hear the traffic, we didn't mind as it certainly didn't keep us awake. Annalise did visit and gave us great information on buses and places to visit, the bus stop into Bristol is a short walk away and they are very frequent. We visited Westonbirt which was a short drive away and well worth going, also Bristol Aeronautical museum which is amazing, we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was incredibly hot when we were there and our trip into Bristol was not a success, the bus was not air conditioned, took an hour as it goes through lots of districts and, as it was Saturday, the city was very busy. We're not city people so it was our fault and the heat was too much. Hortham Farm is used as an overnight stop for those heading North or South but is worth a longer stay in our opinion.

Very friendly and convenient location

Very happy with this CL. Very friendly hosts and the hardstanding pitches are spacious with water standpipes and electricity hook ups for each of the pitches. Excellent location close to M4/ M5 junction.

Read ALL the instructions!

We followed the directions and arrived at the site easily. Unfortunately we stopped reading the instructions then so had to find someone who made me feel quite stupid as I didn't know where to go. There are 2 CLsites called Wood View and Field View, caravan workshops and other small businesses on the premises Was directed, quite rudely to where our pitch was. Wood View was beautiful, clean and spacious. The site was very quiet although we could hear the M5 but it wasn't intrusive. 2 pitches shared a water tap. Each had electric. Bins and elsan point nearby. Stayed for 4 days. Didn't see the owners at all (which was a shame). Was a good stop off point on our travels to the South West. Would stay again.

Great site and lovely owners

Great site for visiting Bristol and South Gloucestershire, the owners are really nice and friendly and helped me out of a difficult situation following a personal accident, the site is not that noisy despite being near the M5, semi private hedged pitches and a water point on pitch, it would make a very useful stop over point as close to M5/M4 junction.

So glad to be back at Hortham Farm

We've just returned from a lovely couple of stopover nights at Hortham Farm. A long time since we've been here of course, but it's as easy and private as usual. Better in fact, as the driveways and hardstandings have been improved. Great for dog - walking, and perfect for us as a half-way stop between Truro and the rest of the country! Plus it's ideal for a quick dash to Cribbs Causeway or IKEA. We've been lucky enough to book another 2 mini breaks there this year. Easy to book by email, and we've always had a prompt reply.

Excellent Site

We chose this site to break up the journey from Lincolnshire to Exeter to visit our son. I wish we had sites like this nearer to home. Access is great, pitches very large and private, we loved it. We had our 2 dogs with us and had a lovely walk in the woods next to the site. The weather was absolutely appalling, gale force winds and torrential rain but we really enjoyed our overnight stay here, would highly recommend it.

Overnight stay

Booked for one night to stop off on the way south easy access from the M5 .It is situated close to the M5 and you obviously get some road noise but that wasn’t a problem didn’t keep us a wake or that loud you could hear it over the tv . We would use this CL again no problem
