Well Kept Tranquil Site

Stayed here on the way to, and back from Wales. The site is very well tended and is in a lovely setting with good views. Nearby Marlborough is a pleasant market town, and Averbury is well worth a visit. There is a large woodland area nearby for walking. We only saw the owner once when she came to cut the grass, but she seemed very friendly. Good value for £12.

disappointed

we rang the day before to enquire if one of the hard standings was available for an overnight stop, was informed yes so we made the booking. On arrival, we found both hardstandings occupied, the owner of the motorhome on the one came over to ask if we had specified a h/s which we confirmed. He said as they were new to motorhoming they assumed that when they made the booking and said it was a motorhome that was enough to ensure a hardstanding but he had spoken to the other occupant of the hardstanding who told him he hadnt specified hardstanding but parked his caravan on it anyway. We were concerned as it was at the time of the storms and was worried about getting out the next day. I phoned the contact number and told the lady about the issue, her answer was 'as you are only booked for a night could you make do with grass as the caravanner had booked for a week? if not, she would come over and ask one of them to move' I felt I was put in the position of the 'bad guy' if she did that, even though it was not our fault - it clearly states on their welcome board that hardstandings must be prebooked - apparently if we got stuck they would tow us out - this was our first experience of a CL, and it will make me wary about using them in future. The owner made no attempt to come over to apologise about the booking mix up, we just left our money in the honesty box the following morning

Overnight stay

Only stayed for 1 night (en route elsewhere) so can't comment on local places. Site is level with 2 hardstanding pitches. Grass neatly mown. Site has nice open feel, plenty of space between outfits. Only a few hundred yards off main road but very quiet and peaceful. Would happily stay again.

Peaceful retreat

We visited for 2 nights and found the site to be very peaceful, apart from a cuckoo who did insist on prolonged outbursts of cooing at 4.30 in the morning. We had a grass pitch and could choose to site ourselves anywhere in the field. There are electric hook ups and water available, at £7.00 a night with no electricity or £12 a night with hook up we thought it was great value. The farm dogs were friendly and our little dog had a great time exploring all the new smells, including the chickens which wander freely around the farmyard. A short walk down the drive and across the main road takes you into Savernake Forest with miles of pathways to discover, we enjoyed the birdsong as we wandered along. We also enjoyed watching a group of red kites soaring above the site and the microlights flying into Clench Common. A very relaxing weekend and well recommended site.

Perfect for a chilled out weekend.

We stayed here for 2 nights. It's so peaceful and quiet. There's two hardstandings and a large grass area. There are waste bins for your rubbish, EHU and waste water facilities. We loved all the wildlife we saw here, rabbits, pheasants, kites, squirrels, along with the farm ducks and chickens. There's two farm dogs who meander around and are friendly. The older dog is a bit of a woofer,(doing his job!) but a good scratch in the head from my husband, was very welcomed by him. We didn't see the owners, but you can leave your payment in an envelope and pop it into the post box on the noticeboard. (bring your own envelope!) We nipped into Marlborough for a wander around had a coffee and a beautiful homemade florentine biscuit in The Food Gallery. If you fancy something savoury, we can recommend dropping into Padfields Porkies, pork baps and a cuppa - really good. We had planned to go for a walk in the Savernake forest which isn't far from the site, but due to us having a complete,well needed chill out, we ran out of time! We will return here, as it's not far from where we live and it is definitely on our list for a another stay.

What a gem!

A lovely CL with everything you could want for a peaceful & relaxing break. The field is flat with short grass. Plenty of space & fab views. We took our dog for some lovely walks across the farm land. We will definitely be back.

What more could you want

We have just spent 4 nights at Kingstones farm . It was a very pleasent stay we had a friendly welcome and could park up where we wished. We have a dog and could wander around farm land no problem. I would recommend visiting this site if you like peace and quiet. We will return.

nothings changed - not even the price

I had to stay here again this year (august 2014). At £30/week or £5 a night its hard to imagine better value. The lack of facilities makes it quiet, but that suits me. Great dog walks and very good vehicler access. Cant wait to go back. Grass kept short and no silly rules that some sites appear to dream up. Great weather helped, but I would enjoy it here in the rain!

Great for avebury (a free local stonehenge)

What a great CL, plenty of space, quiet and very family friendly, very oriented to REAL camping as no EHU, and only £5 per night. Easy access for my RV and towcar. We have two older children and a dog who are always made welcome and love the animals and great scenery as we drive through the farmyard. plenty of dog walks, but need to be on a lead. The owners are also very nice. From M4 head past Marlborough and turn right a few hunderud yards after red phone box. on small lane, bear left at the fork, then follow the caravan club signs. Plenty of villages, stone circles and country house all easily accessible. Only £30 per week! Great.
