Very impressed
This was our first visit to Broadway, and we would be very happy to return. It’s an easy site to find and access. It sits on two levels, with flat pitches, regularly separated by hedges for extra privacy. We would have preferred the upper level for a view of the steam railway, but of course there were none available at this busy time of year. The advantage of the bottom level is that you do not have a steep flight of stairs to negotiate to reach the shower block. Although, it didn’t apply to our pitch some are parallel to the main road into Broadway, so there is a fair bit of road noise during the day. The site is surrounded by mature trees, giving it a secluded feel. Facilities were the usual standard of cleanliness, and the site is very well maintained. Food vans attended on many evenings, and we would recommend Pizza Alfresco.
The location is excellent. Broadway village is a twenty minute walk, from which you have access to the Cotswold Way and other paths for walking, which is our main activity. The Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Steam Railway runs right past the site, for a bit of nostalgic train spotting. The original goods shed is on the site, and the station is just across from the site entrance. The journey down to Cheltenham is picturesque. The site also gives easy access to other Cotswold villages. There is also a bus service from the site entrance to places like Evesham.
In short, we really enjoyed our stay, and would wish to return. The only reason for the four star rating for peace and quiet is the same as it is for most sites these days- there seem to be a lot more dogs now, and their barking does become tiresome.
