My wife and I stayed here in the summer with another couple in their motorhome. The site is nice and varied and well kept. One thing both myself and my friend didn't like, was the pitches were way too shallow. This meant that your car was parked in such a way that it was way too close to the site road for comfort. Both myself any my friend are overprotective admittedly of our vehicles, but it made us cringe every time a new person arrived towing a caravan and it skimmed the cars! The reason for the 3 ticks on the 'Peace & Quiet' is simply because we were pitched against the main road at first and as it's a long straight, the cars and motorbikes seemed to gun it along there which became a little annoying, even for a petrolhead like me... Thankfully we were able to move after a couple of days and the new pitches were much quieter. The wardens I dealt with couldn't be anymore helpful, if not a little overzelous with the club rules (pacing out peoples setups was funny to start off, but soon became irritating) Saying that, it was busy there and it is a Caravan Club site where the rules are enforced with some enthusiasm, but as most club members know, there you do get those members of staff that enjoy that part of their job. Overall a great location and a perfectly exceptable site to stay. Some really nice restaurants and places to visit, but use TripAdvisor for this. Would we stay again? Yes.
It's been nearly six years since we last stayed at this club site and to be honest, despite it having been closed for refurbishment, not much seemed to have changed. There is no doubting that it is in an excellent location for touring the Cotswolds. There is the added bonus of being able to walk into Moreton, especially on market day (Tuesday). There is also plenty of walking from the site which means that the car can be abandoned for a few days. A great dog walk but very muddy - be prepared to use wellies if it's a facility you require. Why mixed feelings? Well the size of the pitches are my main grumble. Being long and narrow, it means that if you want to put up an awning, you have no choice but to park your car at right angles across the front of the caravan. If you have a long outfit/twin axle, many of the pitches are just not deep enough and we ended up partially on the grass in order for our car not be jutting out into the service road. The weather was pretty grim during our stay and like the previous reviewer, the aqua rolls were on the grass which was extremely muddy. I would imagine that when the site is full, pitching could be quite interesting if you don't have a motor mover! Additionally, the west toilet block was closed (which I understand to a degree) so if you wanted to use the showers etc., you either had to pitch near the other toilet block (which was quite busy) or face a long cold walk! All in all, if we come back this way again, I think we will go to Broadway (if only for the pitch size). Sorry.
