To noisy & busy for us

Cirencester Club site sits on the southern edge of the Cotswolds so be prepared for a 30 - 45 min drive to the pretty Cotswold villages of Broadway, Bourton on the Water, Moreton on Marsh & Stow on the Wold, but Broadway Tower is well worth the visit for the stunning views over the Cotswolds. The facilities were modern & clean, with plenty of hot showers, free flowing not the push button type. There are 2 washing machines & 2 dryers in the laundry room but no ironing facility. The dog walk is a large field mowed regularly but the main attraction for dog owners is the beautiful Bathurst Estate which is accessible directly from the site & a doggie paradise. Most visitors have dogs, usually 2 or 3 per unit but there doesn’t appear to be any restrictions on breed or numbers. This is a very busy site with lots of arrivals & departures everyday. Being new to the C&MC we were unaware there is no pitch allocation so it is first come first serve, so I would advise arriving as soon after 12 noon as possible to get a good pitch, we arrived late on a Monday afternoon & had very little choice of pitches & ended up on a small pitch under a tree quite a distance from the toilet block. Most of the hardstandings need recovering with gravel as it is very sparse. There are not many water/waste points around the site so another consideration to look at when choosing your pitch. We used the ariel point on the bollard close to our pitch but like other reviewers would suggest you take a long cable as you may not be fortunate enough to be close to a bollard. I paid for Wi-fi & found it to be excellent for emails, checking the weather forecast & accessing social media. If you are of working age like us, & looking for a relaxing break with the opportunity for a lie in, don’t visit here. I am amazed at the noise some people make when packing up at the crack of dawn, slamming car doors, dragging water barrels along the road to empty & letting dogs bark. Then there is the site tractor & trailer that comes out at 9am everyday including SUNDAY & the warden has to wear ear defenders so that’s how loud it is. Sarah one of the assistant warden’s was particularly helpful & friendly but the warden was very uncooperative & appeared to make up rules that suited her, not just my opinion but that of another visitor we spoke to who had the same issue as us. There are obviously ‘regulars’ who visit the site frequently so are allowed the privilege of bending the rules. We didn’t try the fish & chip van that visits the site on a Friday after being told the fish is frozen but followed the advice of a previous reviewer & bought from The Friar Tuck in Cirencester & these were excellent & very reasonably priced. Overall I would say if you have a dog/s & are looking for a short break then this site would suit you, but if you want to explore the Cotswolds I would recommend you try the club site at Broadway. We won’t be returning as the site was to big & ‘more of a transit site’,
