Just back from another lovely short stay at one of our favourite sites. Not too busy midweek so plenty of space on the grass pitches. Everything that can be said about the site has already been said. Will certainly be bacK later in the year.
Return after 6yrs
This was a return stay after a 6yr gap, lovely site in a beautiful area & within walking distance to Cirencester town.
The only downside to this site was the continued speeding from quite a few members who should know better & also the amount of vehicles who didn't seem to know how to follow the one way system.
This is something that the wardens would find hard to police because they can't see everything that goes on. On arrive the wardens explain everything, so why can't members obey the rules.
I would like to thank the head warden for his help when we had a problem with our car and also lending the recovery service the electric cable extension so we could get home. Just a note for the head warden, the Land Rover has had a complete health check & the car needed an updated auto transmission software which unknown to us was a recall on the 2013 model.
Thanks again & we will return.
Good location dog friendly town
Nice welcome great location standard caravan club facilities.
Very narrow access road and can get busy with cars and pedestrian care needed.
I really like site but what I didn't like was people cutting through your pitch walking around your caravan, also people cutting through the hedges.
Very dog friendly town didn't have problems eating drinking out.
Lots of shops and a nice park in centre.

Fantastic site, pity about the road leading into site, one of the worst, very rough full of pot holes.
But once you have negotiated the rally course, this fantastic site awaits you.
Brilliant hard working staff, toilet block always clean and fresh, and the grounds clean and well maintained.
Same old problem with kids racing around on bikes, and people with 3 -5 dogs per pitch..
but don't let this put you off, FANTASTIC site, Great location, lots to do and see on the doorstep.
And a short walk into the Lovely town of Cirencester..
Cirencester
A site that has it all. Good Wardens,facilities, clean toilet block, well maintained and location. Like the service pitches and will be back
Lovely site but not able to specifically book hardstanding pitch
We arrived at this site on the Sunday of a bank holiday so we were expecting it to be busy and we were told there were only 2 pitches to choose from. That in itself is not a problem but they were both grass. Luckily it had been dry so we were able to park our motorhome on the one we chose with no issues. However I booked a standard pitch and expected it to be hardstanding like most club sites. If it had been wet we could have struggled.
However we would visit the site again as it was very pleasant and peaceful even when full. There is a lovely walk through the Park into Cirencester which is a pretty town. We were very pleased to be told we could stay till 4pm on the Bank Holiday Monday, particularly as the weather was so beautiful.

Great location - easy walk to Cirecester town
Stayed for 3 nights last week and after a friendly and helpful welcome, very impressed with both the location and facilities (pity about the weather though!). Easy 15-20 min walk into Cirencester and handily located for Tetbury, Bibury, Malmesbury etc - all within 20 min drive. New full service pitches are huge - van + car +awning side by side on hardstanding. Will visit again.
Lack of choice of pitches on arrival
We have recently returned from the Cirencester site after a very wet start to the season. We note with dismay that sixteen of the prime sites have been turned in to fully serviced pitches. Not with-standing that they are already near service points and toilet blocks. The money could have been well spent on improving other pitches which badly needed attention and widening the roads to accommodate the ever increasing size of vehicles. Plus put in some paths to make it easier to walk to the toilet blocks especially when it is so wet. Why wasn’t the money spent towards negotiating with Cirencester College to improve the approach road on to the site which is appalling.
It seems the sites are becoming elitist if you are prepared to pay. If the only pitch left is a red peg, one is being forced to pay an extra £3.90 a night. Not on. Quote-‘ WE don’t reserve pitches first come first served.’ Is it our club?
We have spoken to three site wardens who say the subject is always bought up at managers meetings regards the unfair situation. We note that Cadeside will be having 14 new pitches next year, two of those will be Red pegs. It begs the question ‘why’? It is a transit small site. As I have mentioned earlier what choice do people have if it is the only pitch left? Does the Caravan Club realise in a few years’ time, a generation will not be able to pay the site fees!
Cirencester revisited!
Not quite a second home, but a site we visit regularly at least twice a year being only 40 minutes or so from home. And it never fails to please! A lovely site with pitches set amongst the trees though with plenty of space and open areas for soaking up the sun (which was particularly important this last weekend!) As has been said several times before care is needed on the final approach lane which is badly potholed along the sides but take it slowly and there are no problems. For families there'should an enclosed play area and a huge playing field and for dog owners there is what must be one of the best dog exercise areas on any club site. The toilet/shower block (only 1 open at the moment) is modern, warm and kept spotlessly clean. The site was full this weekend but there was never a queue for the showers. Turn left immediately outside the site and there's a very pleasant walk through to Cirencester Park, then you can turn right to explore the town with all its shops and eateries or left to walk up the main avenue and further, up past the polo field (although dogs aren't allowed beyond the end of the main drive.) There are many Cotswold walks and villages within a short drive of the site - Bibury is particularly attractive - and many really good pubs The Bell at Sapperton and The Inn at Barnsley are two of our favourites. As expected, a fabulous short stay and we'll certainly be returning.
