It does say on the info form that some of the plug in tv sockets don't boost,but not which ones,you only find out when you've pitched up,too late then! phone signal is very poor too,maybe let us know in advance which power poles work,not important for everyone I know,but it is for some,and could do with some more water taps,other than these gripes,a nice relaxing site
Though we had a relaxing weekend at Burford club site ..
A bit disappointed.. The site is more suited for caravaners or just a MH night stay over. Burford itself is 2 miles away .. so over an hr walk .. So you really need a car or bikes .. Shilton village is a 25 minute walk away down a country lane .. lovely Pub there .. Rose and Crown … beautiful little pub with lovely though pricey food. Wildlife park opposite which seeing the queues of cars/people gave it a miss… we have 2 dogs .. on-site dog walks very small though I went across the main road and found a couple of fields to walk them in … showed block ok… bit dirty and very hit and miss … had 1 reasonable shower following day there was no pressure and it was just a dribble … site managers were friendly and reception have a small selection of basic goods …
Visited in June for a week.Good points. Great location for wildlife park and visiting the area by car.
Bad points. toilet block looking very tired but that does not excuse the condition of it directly after it had been cleaned.Whilst the toilets and sinks were clean the shower floor was disgusting.According to my wife hair was left in the female showers in the floor grill. In the gents where you step down into the shower there was a build up of dirt in the corner which could be moved with your feet. I checked the other showers which were the same.They really need a deep clean once a week. The grass is unkept.
In contrast we moved from there to Swiss Farm at Henley on Thames for 8 days where the facililities are first class, Pub on site, swimming pool and fishing.Easy walk into Henley and it was £35 cheaper. I am seriously thing of leaving the Caravan Club.
We stayed here in June 2024 over a weekend.
It’s a great site, located directly next door to the magical Cotswold Wildlife Park, easily accessed on foot from the site.
The historic town of Burford is less that 2 miles away, vehicle access required really due to busy road between the two.
The town is lovely offering plenty of eateries and refreshment opportunities as well as that wonderful Cotswold experience with many wonderful independent shops to explore.
On site, the facilities are lovely, clean and warm and the friendly helpful wardens maintain that standard every day. It’s a site we’ve been to many times before and I’m sure we will return to in the future.
On this trip, we had booked a meal for the Friday evening at the Spice Lounge in Burford, which is an amazing Indian restaurant. We had intended to use a taxi to and from, however we discovered that as the taxis are not based locally, it would have cost approximately £30..each way.. for the 2 mile journey.
With no delivery option on offer, we cancelled the meal.
So it’s a great site with lots to offer, but if you want to use a taxi to access the town, currently costs are a bit prohibitive..
We sent 3 nights here last weekend and enjoyed the site. A very helpful and friendly welcome on arrival (4pm). We were left free to choose our pitch although most were taken by the time we arrived. Good security, excellent cleanliness and helpful wardens. Very happy to return in the future.
Stayed here for the second week of May and fell lucky with some great weather, which always makes a break better. Arrived the day after the Bank Holiday rush and it was sparsely populated which made for a welcome relax for us. Filled up again for the weekenders making the most of the sun. Great welcome from the wardens and friendly through the time we were there on the couple of times we interacted with them, had problem with EHU as newbies I had never used the older type that needs a turn to engage, quickly nipped around to help us out with some friendly banter to ease the embarrassment (most welcome as we have that type of a sense of humour). Place clean as usual up to the club sites standards, one point worth a comment is the shower block cleaned in the afternoon (2pm), which makes life easier for anyone leaving in the morning or going out for the day, why not the case on all sites? Did hear a bit of a moan about the length of some grass, but my opinion is agreement for the wildlife and the separating area between pitches was mown while we were there, nice to see some wild flowers around in there too.
Nicely placed for visiting the Cotswolds and Oxford with a short walk to the wildlife park silly to miss as it's across the road. Another day out we enjoyed, 6 miles away that was a pleasure to visit is Kelmscott Manor. Not the biggest place, but interesting and better than their website would suggest, but good reviews on Trip Advisor.
Fish and chips on Friday from a visiting converted horse box is a first, but sensible portion size and yummy.
This is a nice site but it is a fair distance from anything apart from the wildlife park. We have two dogs who need walking and there is absolutely nowhere to go unless you have transport. This is very unusual not only for the Cotswolds but for a club site.
The facilities were clean although the grass around the site hadn’t been cut for sometime. I’m all for areas left for wildlife but between pitches and surrounding areas need cutting as it looks untidy.
It was certainly peaceful (apart from numerous military aircraft to and from Brize Norton). By around 2100 most vans were in darkness - maybe it’s that time of year and the demographic of visitors.
Nice site if you shave transport and want a tranquil few days but in my opinion not one for anybody active.
We stayed at Burford for a short break of 3 nights. All helped along by the very friendly and extremely helpful assistant wardens Lisa and Chris. Chris in particular was great in that he helped us out with a technical matter. The classic motor hub at Bibury was an absolute pleasure to see and well worth a visit..
Overall, a nice stay on this serviced pitch.
Stayed for the weekend with our 4 year old and his friend. Was pleasantly surprised with the size of the onsite park which was great fun for the children. Being opposite the Wildlife park it made it so easy to be able to gain access. Its worth noting that reduced tickets are available from the wardens hut on the day of the visit. Get your ticket stamped and you can leave the wildlife park and get back in.
Pitches and facilities all good with no complaints, signal for the phone networks can be a little hit and miss. Food vans on the Friday (Chip van) and Saturday (Pizza) were great. Good quality food and reasonably priced.
For another day out the Cotswold Motor museum is 20mins up the road and is a gem in Broughton on the Water. Kids loved seeing Brum.
Another lovely visit to this gem of a site. New wardens this time Lisa and Chris who have continued the high standards set by the previous wardens. We were on the fully serviced pitches and close to the facilities block which were excellent. Good TV signal although my only experience of the Free club Wi-Fi was poor so we used our hot spot on the phone rather than pay for the Premium Wi-Fi. Took advantage of the club discount to visit the Cotswold Wildlife park. Excellent fish and chips on the Friday night from the visiting van, they also have various vendors on other nights .Good play area for children and a dog walk. Some slight noise from low flying aircraft from Brize Norton.
