Pricey but nice

Stayed here for 3 nights at the end of August.  Really easy to find and we didn't find any difficulties in accessing the gateway, just a little nerve-wracking down a single track road.  The grass was a little bit too long but the owners were extremely friendly and the village very pretty.  Walked down to Slimbridge Wetlands Trust which took about 1/2 hr.  A bit pricey for what you get but a nice little site for a stopover as it's not too far from the M5.

Lovely site with one drawback

The plus points: level, well-spaced pitches with individual water taps, ( two grass, three hard standing which are usually reserved for motor homes). The pitches are perhaps a little on the short side. The site was extremely peaceful, truly rural and sheltered with no traffic noise. There were hourly trains to Gloucester, Bath and Bristol at Cam and Dursley Station just ten minutes drive away. Slimbridge Reserve is just over a mile away. The site is on a national cycle trail, and there's the opportunity close at hand for some good walks. However, what was in all other respects a good holiday was blighted by the damage I did to the rear end of the van. Yes, the gate is comfortably wide, but entry necessitates a very tight turn from a very narrow lane, bounded on the offside by a high brick wall, and through the gate is bounded by hedges at right angles on both sides. I clipped the back end going in and had an inch to spare coming out. So, if your van is 7.18 metres as mine is and you're towing it with a long estate car, you'll be hard pushed to avoid damage.

Comment from The Club:

Many thanks for leaving a review and we are pleased that you enjoyed the Site. We are sorry to read you damaged your outfit and had difficulty with the entrance. The CL Owner has contacted us as he wants to let people know if they have any concerns about the entrance regarding their outfit size to please look at picture 7 which shows the space available to access the site. He also wants to assure people that they have had twin axles accessing the site with no difficulties. He is very sorry that you had damage to your ‘van and hopes this does not put you off from visiting again in the future.

Perfection

A wonderful CL offering so much both near and far! The beautiful county of Gloucestershire is all around, the Wildfowl Trust a short distance away, so well worth a visit! Gloucester, Cheltenham and Cirencester are only a short drive away as pass through great countryside. The most important factor is the CL and its facilities set as it is on a working farm, each pitch has its own water connection and electricity point making life very easy - and you cant beat the welcome or the price!

Nice easy site

We found the site easily. No traumatic country lanes to negotiate, for a change. It is just a field but suited us. It was a bit noisy but the place is a working farm so it didn't bother us and is to be expected in August. The wetland centre is just up the road and we enjoyed our visit. On the plus side it was nice to have a shop just 3 miles away - it's usually quite a trip from some sites to get a paper. We were a bit disappointed that there wasn't much to see in that area. We did go to Lacock Abbey - lovely place - and we also 'did' the other side of the estuary which is the side we would stay on next time.

Peaceful CL

If we lived closer we would stay regularly for the peace and quiet, lovely countryside, closeness to the canal for cycling and definitely visiting The Wildfowl & Wetland Trust, if you've not been allow plenty of time, it's bigger than we expected! We arrived at the site to find our name and pitch number on a blackboard at the entrance, we didn't actually see the owner until Sunday morning as we were leaving which was not a problem as everything we needed was to hand and fully understand working farms take priority. The site leaflet is great and would recommend other CL's providing similar info, perhaps the owner could create a small waterproof box with a supply at the entrance for the guests they don't see on arrival.

Excellent in every way

What a superb site. Beautiful surroundings, quiet, well laid out and close to Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust. The owner is friendly, welcoming and provides a useful guide to the site and the surrounding area. The site is very well laid out with level pitches, some of which are hard standing, with on-pitch hook-up and water also easy grey water disposal. Great cycling and walks on the doorstep. Thoroughly recommended.

well worth visiting

Peaceful site with large pitches. Great being able to hook up to the tap and grey waste going into the hedge row. Good for dog walking, excellent location for the wetlands centre. Very good information leaflet given on arrival.would definitely visit again.

So glad we found this little gem

This was our 1st visit to this area and we are so glad we found this wonderful CL. Our hosts were very welcoming giving us a comprehensive information sheet about the area/local amenities which they produced themselves as well as telling us lots of extra bits and bobs that were really useful. You can walk to Slimbridge Wetlands Centre in about 20 minutes down a quiet lane and across 2 fields direct from the site. There are also numerous public footpaths within minutes of this CL and a real bonus is the Gloucester and Sharpness canal (which you cross to get to the Wetland Centre) which you can walk or cycle in either direction. We had a lovely meal at the Tudor Arms and they have a great selection of food and local ales all very reasonably priced and very tasty (those we tried) Each pitch has an individual electric and water point and there are also 3 hard-standings. Plenty of room between pitches and there is a really good waste emptying area including umpteen recycling bins for everything nicely screened. All in all at £12.00 per night and it being adults only and their free range eggs being delicious we cannot wait to return.

Perfect Pitch

We stayed here during the Easter break and will definitely come back again. We found the CL with ease following the directions given. We were warmly welcomed and given an information leaflet which was very useful. As well as the shops listed in it there are now no shortage of Tesco, Sainsbury , Lydl and other supermarkets all within a very short drive, so plenty of choice when stocking up. The Moorend farm eggs that can be purchased were very nice indeed and we took some home with us. The site is close to the M5 and it can be heard in the distance, but this did not affect us at all. The site is very well kept and the bins were changed daily. We even returned after a day out to find that another hard standing had been installed (now making it 3) and everything was neat and tidy as though it had been there all along. Lots to see and do from this location depending how far you want to travel or in fact how little, you are spoilt for choice. Lots of little towns and villages with nice independent shops and pubs and all that we visited were very dog friendly.

Peaceful site

We stayed here in March of this year (before the recent snow) with the sole purpose of going to the Wetland Centre. This only about a 25 min walk along the lanes and over the fields. Worth a visit. The village of Frampton on Severn is worth a visit. Some lovely buildings. We had lunch in the 3 Horse shoes. Try their Shu pies - three fillings in one pie, cooked while you wait. A warm welcome, ideal if you have dogs. Also found a spot along the river near to Gloucester to watch the Severn Bore. It was rated a 3, so check internet for times. Our hardstanding pitch had its own tap. There are full recycling facilities. Definately recommend and will be going back.
