love this site

odensne of our favourite sites.war one of our favourite sites. The wardens are friendly and do a n excellent job of looking after the site. one problem seems to be the size of the pitches,they are not big enough for some of the car/caravan/awnings that are using them.Good to have one toilet block closed for cleaning in the afternoon. all in all great site and great location. we will be back again.

Great location within easy walking distance to the village of Moreton also a good base to explore Bourton and Stow On The Wold. Typical standard of cleanliness with a caravan club site "spotless". Wardens very friendly and helpful.

Great Location, Busy Site and Friendly Helpful Wardens

It's the first time we have ever been to this site and it won't be the last. Thoroughly enjoyable stay, We enjoyed a lazy day in the village on the Tuesday (Market Day). We noticed how dog friendly most of the eateries are, during our stay We went into the Waffle shop, Tillys Tearoom and the Swan Pub and all were dog friendly. This site is also close to Stow and Bourton on the water and Lower and Upper Slaughter All beautiful old villages, lovely for a wander around. As everyone has said the pitches on the site are on the small side and due to the very wet weather this year is beginning to look a scruffy and muddy around the edges of the pitches. The toilet blocks were spotless. We will definitely be back to the site, we loved the location a real bonus having a site so near a village you could walk to it and leave the car behind

We'll be back!

This lovely site is within easy walking distance of the town of Moreton-in-Marsh. (Plus there is a bus stop just outside the entrance). It always appears to be well-populated, and with good reason. There's plenty of walking, including a 1.5 mile stroll along the Monarch's Way to Batsford Aboretum, and the neighbouring falconry centre. There are plenty of eateries in Moreton and a thriving market on a Tuesday. We stayed 4 days and will be back for longer soon.

Morton-in-Marsh

Morton-in-Marsh is a nice site tucked away in the Cotswold's and we found the position just right for a short walk to the town. The site wardens were very friendly and helpful the site was very clean, tidy and well laid out. We have been to this site before and last time it was close to Xmas and all the main street lights were switched on, it looked like Santa's grotto. We will be back

Enjoyable

I too was at the site 'with' snoopyloopy & Pmd1 both of whom have left reviews, and for the most part I agree with what they write. I would just add a couple of things, 1000h is really rather early to close the amenities -(I find closing them at all to be a serious irritant. In Europe they are open while being cleaned which happens more that once per day.) -and for two hours!? The water could also do with being a few degrees hotter. While the pitches are a little mean as Pmd1 mentions, driving off at departure need not be a difficulty, both myself and my friend were able to do so without causing damage to grass verges. It's merely a matter of using driving skills. We will be returning to the site again but never so early in the year.????

A means to an end

We stayed at this site for several nights from the 15th April. The site was rather water logged in places, as is our back garden, due in some measure to it being on flat level ground at the bottom of a hill. This said, the site is always well maintained and a credit to the team of wardens. It is an easy walk into the village even for the less athletic like myself, but of course this means it is adjacent to the road, and therefore, at various times there is a fair amount of background noise from the traffic, but you can't have one thing without the other. Some pitches are a little mean, and of course the suitability depends to some degree on the size of the outfit/vehicle. We love coming here and will hopefully continue to do so, as the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, and because of it's proximity to the main roads, it is an ideal site for a touring base.

Disappointing

We stayed at Moreton in the Marsh between 15th to 19th April. The first thing to say is that I have every sympathy with the site wardens in trying to keep the site looking presentable in the wet weather we experienced during our stay, including overnight snow. Having said that, the pitches are looking quite tired and in need of refurbishing with a fresh layer of shingle. Because the pitches are so small, if you have an awning erected, your car has to be parked in front of the caravan . This makes the general appearance of the site very cluttered and scruffy. If I wanted to sit looking at my car, I might as well park up in my garage. We didn't have an awning on this occasion, but because the pitches are so small, when my car was parked alongside the caravan, ie where the awning would be, I couldn't help but park partly on the very wet grass surrounding the hard standing pitch, resulting in further damage to the grass. A further problem as a result of the narrow pitches, was that when people parked in front of their vans, by necessity, unless they had vehicles that could go sideways, they couldn't fail but to run over the corners of the grass areas surrounding the hard standing area. As previously said, this generally made areas of the site into a scruffy quagmire, when if the pitches were of sufficient width the grass areas could be totally avoided. I cannot understand why the club make hard standing pitches so narrow, unless it is to maximise revenue by squashing the vans in. I know there are fire regulations to insure a certain spacing between vans, but why make this a minimum spacing. Let's spread out a bit, save the grass areas and generally make life on site a more pleasant experience for all rather than turning the roads into a car park. As I said at the start, my comments are in no way a criticism of the site team. I think their job is made unnecessarily difficult due to the site layout, in particular the narrow pitches. I would love to hear from the club as to why we are all so squashed in!!!

Wet

The weather was poor and the site became flooded in places, and because the pitches are small, vehicles had to cut corners thereby turning the grassed areas into a bog, we were pitched up near the noisey road due to the site being full when we arrived. The site is within a pleasant stroll into the village where there are lots of good eating places for day and evenings , overall a good stay and will return but in the dryer months.Still miffed about paying for WiFi
