a gem of a site
This really is a little gem of site. Why? Well, perhaps it’s the location, close to all sorts of things, including historic houses by the oodle and historic cities such as Worcester and Hereford. Perhaps it’s the convenience of local towns such as Malvern and Bromyard. Perhaps it’s the walking options which are plentiful, including the Malvern Hills and Bromyard Downs themselves. Perhaps it’s the fact that towing to the site is so simple, from main roads or from the M5 at Worcester. But perhaps it’s because when you turn in you find you’re entering a different world- an oasis of peace and calm. “Stop the world- I want to get off”!!! It really is a little gem of a site.
There’s no play area so it may not be so suitable for young children. There’s no toilet block either – but there is a herb garden you can use for fresh herbs, minutes from your pitch. At times there can be a little road noise but it quietens down at night and, to be honest, after a few minutes I soon tuned out the road sounds and focused instead on the plentiful supply of birdsong. The wardens, who are tremendously kind, knowledgeable and helpful, have planted and put out many pots of flowers and soon the site will be a riot of colour.
There are 2 pitching areas so each part has more the feel of a CL – no multiple rows of caravans- but the pitch size does tend to reflect what was the norm. 20 years ago- hardly a problem. If you just want a pleasant place to sit in a deckchair and relax then is also the site for you.
In short, if you want an “all singing/all dancing” site with toilet block, laundry facilities and piped music this isn’t the place for you. If you’re not bothered about all that malarkey (or if you actively DON’T want it) then this probably is just the place. It’s certainly a lovely site to stay on, with heaps going for it.
