The heart of the country

Fantastic experience from start to finish- thought I would stay at Magnolia Pitches based on all the fabulous reviews - and they weren’t wrong!! Becky was a brilliant communicator from the first email- rapid replies, a phone call the week before to answer any questions and recommend routes/things to do/places to eat. She was there to greet me- such a lovely warm greeting, Becky and her husband Paul couldn’t have been more helpful, found things I had left behind to make my stay more comfortable. The pitches are beautifully maintained and flat!! Lots of wild birds ( no pesky ones!) Masses of walks to be done and views to be seen! I just wish I could have stayed longer but fully intend on returning ! Thanks to my lovely hosts -I could not have asked for more!

Excellent site.

We can only reiterate the previous reviews as to the excellence of Magnolia Pitches. We wouldn’t hesitate to book another stay if we find ourselves in the area again and recommend Paul & Becky as super hosts. Thank you.

An excellent find. Return stay for 2025 already booked!

We’ve just returned from our fortnight stay at Magnolia Pitches CL, Staunton, Gloucestershire. We booked last year after seeing the site recommended , and reading the excellent reviews. The owners Becky and Paul are excellent hosts and they are very hands on and welcoming. £18 per night with electricity on top that is charged at cost. Currently the unit rate of electricity is 23.838p /kWh. Once booked, if there is a change to the price per unit, Becky the owner will email you with an update. There are no shower or toilet facilities. The pitches are reinforced grass and have EHU, water taps and free WiFi. The CL is on a large, well tended and regularly cut grass paddock. There’s plenty of room to exercise your dogs, but they must be on a lead. You can pitch in any direction that suits you. We booked pitch number 3 and it was great for catching some rays. The weather was much better than expected too. There are recycling and waste bins along with the standard black and grey waste disposal points. Becky does have two hard standing pitches as alternatives if you prefer that to grass. They are next to the CL grass paddock. Only five pitches are occupied at one time out of the seven and while we were there, there was availability. It’s important to follow the travel directions and approach the CL from the right way. No issues with turning in to the CL, but if you make the wrong turning in to the lane, you have a greater distance to travel down a single width vehicle lane, than if you turn in to the lane from the other end. There is a fob activated gate at the entrance to the property. There is a local shop and a village hub that used to be a pub, but is now ran by volunteers. They aren’t open all the time, so you will need to check the opening times. They have a bistro ‘van’ on a Friday evening. While we were there we sampled the gourmet burgers. They were excellent. We sat in The Swan’s conservatory to eat along with a couple of beers. The hub is within a slow ten minute walk. There’s parking for those who may have walking difficulties. Staunton is a great place to use as a base to visit local attractions and to pop across the border in to Wales. We are members of EH, NT and HH and can always find something to do. EH members get free access to CADW sites. Castles, Tintern Abby and Chepstow were ticked off our list. Gloucester is a nice place to walk around and the Cathedral is worth a visit. Some Harry Potter and Sherlock scenes were filmed there. We were fortunate enough to get a private tour, quite by accident at Blackfriars Priory in Gloucester. It’s an EH property but is rented out to an events company and is only open on a Sunday if they have the staff. . We had a trip on the Dean Forest heritage railway too. We liked the CL site and area that much, we have booked to go back next year for another fortnight. Scroll down the site webpage for useful links, including an availability diary. https://magnolia-pitches.co.uk/

Great CL site

Magnolia Pitches is an excellent CL with fully serviced pitches. Field is flat so easy to set up, and many small touches to enhance the ease of use. Becky and Paul are very good hosts. A recommended site to visit.

Very Welcoming

Rebecca met us on arrival and we have never had such a warm welcome. She was profusely apologetic that there was no Wi-Fi due to recent work by BT who were denying it was their fault.. The Wi-Fi was back online at the end of our stay, BT had found a loose wire. This was a quiet peaceful site, perfectly placed to visit Tewkesbury, Upton on Severn and Ledbury all very interesting places to visit. Rebecca thank you for being such a wonderful host.

Return Visit

Have just returned from another wonderful stay at Magnolia Pitches. Whist we were there we had a problem which Paul and Becky went above and beyond with their help to sort it. Since we were last here a well stocked village shop has now opened and it is within easy walking distance of the site. We so enjoy our time here that we have already booked another visit for later in the summer.

Outstanding sight

We have been members of the caravan club since 1982 and have visited many cl sites but we have never experienced a site so well maintained and so welcomed by owners Becky and Paul. Becky made sure all facilities were exceptionally clean ie own water supply and rubbish bins.we were on site when the weather was very hot so Becky kindly provided some ice cubes for us which we really appreciated,for a site of this standard the site fee + electric was a bargain,needless to say we have rebooked.

What a Gem

We totally agree with all previous reviews but would like to add a little extra. We have used C Ls for over 40 years have met some lovely C L owners but Becky and Paul are truly outstanding.. We were fortunate to have a week of very hot sunny weather with Becky bringing us a daily delivery of ice cubes.All pitches are sanitised before new arrivals. Grass kept short and collected recycling bins cleaned every day.On leaving the site Becky and Paul came to say goodbye it felt like we were saying goodbye to friends.we are pleased to say we have rebooked for next year and really looking forward going. thetys (Shropshire)

Pleasently surprised

I will only say what all the members who have stayed on this cl that it has the most pleasant owners I have ever met in my 40 years of caravaning, as for the site it has large pitches all fully serviced, if you like wild life an abundance of is here. We spent six nights on site paul and Becky could not do enough for us. We had a problem with our caravan paul came and sorted it for us. We will definitely be back. Iris and Brian Ps bins for recycling were spotless

Exceptional CL

Just enjoyed an 8 night stay with Paul and Becky and struggling to add anything new to what has been said many times before. This is an exceptional site operated by caring and helful owners and anyone considering staying for the first time will not be disappointed. The site details and the other member reviews are ALL factual and can be trusted. My wife and I would not hestiate in booking again when next in the area. Whilst our stay was impacted by the very wet July weather, I can confirm that the site and pitches are very free draining and, with the grass cut to short lawn standard, no problems were encountered. My only word of warning is that it is essential to follow Becky's instructions as how to access the site especially it approaching from the M50 (Hereford) direction. Electic costs for our 8 days came to £12 - bargain!
