This site is really handily placed for access from and to the M5 motorway, northbound or southbound. We know people who use the storage facility because it is so handy. Having said that, it is not in proximity to the motorway but a handy 20 minutes way so there is no noise or other impact. The Malvern Hills are nearby with possibilities for walking, theatre going and visiting this beautiful area. We love visiting Worcester with its very fine cathedral and old world influenced shopping centre (a bit like York for those familiar with that place). We are National Trust members and visited Hanbury Hall and Gardens with our daughter and 10-year old grandson. As well as the beautiful gardens and house we all enjoyed a family game of croquet and bowling which was a first for some of the family. Our grandson's favourite was the pond dipping, finding some of the creatures which lived in the pond near the house. The campsite, as with all Caravan Club sites was beautifully maintained in excellent order.
Because this is not a seaside holiday destination I had no trouble booking a 6 night stay. The welcome on arrival was great, the site has changed little in probably 9 or 10 years since I last visited. The toilets were spotless all day, and I was most impressed to see the cleaning was done in the afternoon when most people are off site, not in the morning when the late risers can't get a shower! Well done Malvern Hills. Silence reigned from around 9pm to 7 or 8am so this was indeed a good place to relax. There is a decent play park for the children and plenty of things to do in the area for adults and children alike. We visited Tewkesbury Abbey for the first time, and also renewed aquaintance with the Railways at Toddington and Kidderminster and a beautiful craft centre, Jinny Ring near Hanbury. The on-site information centre is well stocked and provided information for most of our outings. Thanks Warden Team.
What a gorgeous site! The view of the Hills was lovely to wake up to. We stay here for the night on the way back from Cornwall but realised we would love to come back and stay longer. The site is quiet and has some lovely pitches. All facilities are clean and well kept. The Pub in the village The Swan was lovely and well worth a visit, it is walking distance as well. A few lovely Morgans passed us whilst we drank in the garden. The site is lovely and we will return for longer to explore the area more.
Just returned from a 15 night stay, 2 adults, 2 children (7 and 2) and dog! What a superb holiday! This site is easily reached from the M5, but in a lovely rural village. Smallish Co-op and big Waitrose within 10 mins drive in Malvern, plus a choice of takeaways. Loads to see and do, we didn't travel more than 40 mins from the site for any days out. National Trust members have plenty of choice of places to visit - Brockhampton has to be the most picturesque NT property I have visited to date. Avoncroft museum is a worthwhile visit esp for the children, and is dog friendly. Eastnor Castle even allows dogs into the castle! ...a first for us. The Jinny Ring craft centre is a lovely setting and you can watch craftsmen (and women!) at work, and has a large duck pond and walks from the site. Upton on Severn is very pretty with it's black and white timber framed buildings. Clives fruit farm, pick your own is 10 mins away, you can feed the pigs, chickens, ducks, and there is a play area, cafe and farm shop. I could go on.....!
Caravan site has a children's play area which our two loved to frequent! Toilet block was spotless, and parent and baby room was great for bathing our 2 year old. Recycling and rubbish bins in large receptacles at the toilet block. We opted for grass pitch, and ended up with a massive expanse of grass for the children to play on as most seemed to go onto the hardstanding pitches. All quiet at night, allowing the owls to be heard, buzzards were spotted through the day. Even had a squirrel raiding out rubbish bag in the awning at 7 o'clock one morning! Dog walk is fully enclosed within a wooded area, with bark paths.
Being 10 mins drive from 3 counties show ground, we saw gun dogs on site the first weekend, and some massive trailer/caravans the second weekend, due to a country and western convention! There were a lot of people staying for only a few nights, but this site really is worth staying far longer. We will definitely be back. It gets a massive thumbs up from us!
Our 1st Club visit & we used the site as a 1 night stop over on our way to & from Devon in July - only wish we could have stayed longer. It is a lovely site with well spread out pitches in a lovely location, and the wardens were very friendly. Facilities are immaculately kept & the play park kept our son entertained - as did the tourer explorer treasure hunt. We would definitely re-visit
We stayed at Malvern Hills at the beginning of July and the weather was glorious. The site was excellent with first class facilities, well laid out and friendly helpful wardens. Worcester, Tewkesbury and the Cotsworlds all within easy reach. We weren't here long enough to enjoy everything this lovely area has to offer. Well worth a visit!
This was the first site we have visited since becoming members of the Caravan Club. We found everything to be as described. The reception was very helpful. We have a RV so didn't venture anywhere apart from the village nearby. It was fine for a long weekend but there isn't really anything within walking distance - fine for us but maybe families would have struggled. There is a pub and a small shop. We have a satellite system and were able to pick up everything fine. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would visit again - cant say anything better than that!
We chose this site as we had stayed here three years ago when we first bought our caravan. We still have the same caravan (two berth pop up). This site was very quiet though there is a secure area for children to play. The shower blocks were clean and tidy. This is a great place to stay to visit the Malverns.
Large open site. Can't find anything to complain about and appears fine for kids. Facilities were the usual high standard but I was very surprised that the two nearest Service Points (didn't look at any others) did not have the usual waste bins although there was places for them. The staff were very fine but I thought impersonal, It's a large site and I'm sure they have plenty to do but when I asked about local walks on the Malverns were shown some leaflets (one, a single fairly large sheet with map was I think £6.95) yet in the information hut there were a number of walks in laminated folders with I believe a notice suggesting you go to the local Tourist Information. Other sites we've visited usually have a few walks and only charge a small fee or ask for a donation to a charity. Over all I cannot fault the site or wardens but feel it was not quite up to the very high standards of other Caravan Sites.
by far the biggest site i have been on we stopped on peg 150 and it was the furthest away from the entrance. Thought the site is so big it has a small feel as the site is broken into areas. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and kept the site and facilities in tip top condition. The Malverns and surronding areas are simply stunning and great cycling and fell running terrain. A must for anyone with families as loads of families on site and a good if standard fit play area.
