Everything you want in one place; a well kept clean and tidy site with the village so close at hand. We are regular visitors here and will continue to be such; the staff work hard to keep the site in tip top condition; well done to them. Moreton-in-Marsh has everything you need with a main line train station to Paddington and other destinations such as Oxford and Worcester. A short walk away is the Wellington Museum for those with an interest in RAF memorabilia; what a fantastic place to spend a few hours. My only criticism is the dog walking area where some dog owners do not clear up after their dogs have messed; this is unfortunately a great problem with many sites these days. As a dog owner myself it takes seconds to clear up so please do too. However, other than that moan I would certainly recommend the site so once again well done to the hard working wardens.
Moreton in March
Great site. Nice welcome from wardens. Site very busy over the weekend but when we arrived plenty of choice for pitching. Previous pitch occupants had tripped the electrics and not told the warden, so he had to come out and re connect the bollard for us. Of interest our " neighbours" had taken our nominated slot on the bollard as it was theirs that did not work. So Ace owner, Freelander driver, next time go and speak to the warden if there is a problem with the bollard.The side of the site near the road can be a little noisy so if you want peace and quiet make sure you give that side a miss. Recommend Gloucester Old Spot sausages from the butcher in Stow in the Wold- delicious. Its a long time since we have been to this site. We will return.
Small Pitches but great location
We spent 3 nights at the site, it rained constantly on the journey to the site but luckily the rain stopped as we arrived. The pitches are quite small just wide enough for our Van and small awning with the car parked in front, the small awning extended right out to the grass so by the time we had pitched and pegged out the awning we were very muddy with all access to the awning across muddy grass. The Dog walking area is spacious but muddy at the gate. Moreton-in-marsh is a lovely place just a short walk away and Stow on the wold is a short car ride away and a lovely place to visit.
Our week break away in February 2015
It is our second stay on this site since the new shower block was built. The first time we stayed at the site we were really pleased with the shower block but now there is mould growing in the grouting and also you cannot clean out the cubicles with the stupid tool supplied. The site is great for waking into Morton on the Marsh and for visiting Stratford upon Avon. Fish and chips very expensive £14 for two fish and a portion of chips, especially when you can walk into Morton on the Marsh for fish and chips. Pitches a bit small if you have caravan, awning and car.
Good short break
Just spent 3 nights here in the first short trip of the year to clear the cobwebs out of the motorhome. We arrived around 7pm Thursday evening and the office was shut. A ring of the bell brought forth a warden very quickly, who just took my card and said pitch where you like and come and see us in the morning. It was dark and raining and with no site map, it was not easy finding our way around or locating an empty pitch, it was pretty full. But we eventually found one and parked up. We had no TV signal at all but there are aerial feeds on all the hookup points, so no problem there so long as you have a coax cable. Many reviews mention the road noise but even though we were fairly near the road, it didn't bother us, we could barely hear it. It wasn't that busy either. Facilities were clean and plentiful and WARM, no fanatical permanent opening of all windows in all weathers like you get at many sites. The dog walk field is large and mown short, but it tapers off to a narrow end where the entrance is, concentrating all the foot traffic in a narrow area, and due to being very wet this was a complete muddy bog. Not much that can be done about it, but having to clean the dog up after every 5 minute pee-break was a bit of a nuisance. But overall, very nice site, very convenient for the village which is only 5 minutes walk away. We will definitely use again for short breaks near to home in the future.
NEC stopover Feb 15
We stayed on this site after visiting the Caravan & Camping Show on the 20 Feb 15. We arrived late afternoon with friends in another camper van and were able to have pitches next to each other (13&14) which are just past the entrance. The site was quite full busy but the washrooms were spotless as was the rest of the site. We walker into Moreton In Marsh in the evening to get food (torch advisable). On Saturday morning we went back into the village and had a look around the shops and cafés. It's defiantly a place we will revisit.
Pitch sizes & access
Site visited in February 2015 for three nights.
This is an excellent site for families and older adults, visiting the cotswolds area. Moreton in Marsh has good shops, a choice places to eat and is an interesting place to visit.
The wardens are excellent and keep the toilet blocks and other facilities clean and very usable.
My only grumble (50+ grumpy old male adult) is the very limited size of most of the hard standing pitches, which are not large enough for a car, caravan and awning, all at the same time. This leaves most people parking where they can, making the already rather narrow roadways quite difficult to drive along solo, let alone while towing, without venturing onto the grass. This may be OK in the summer months, but in wet weather, the grass very quickly becomes chewed up, with mud, grass etc. spread back onto the roads.
Please Caravan Club, make the hard standing pitches large enough to accommodate at least a reasonable size car, caravan and awning combination.
This must be one of your most popular sites, and it is open all year round, so every member would benefit.
February visit 2015
We stayed for 5 nights at this great site, the facilities are very good, the wardens very friendly and helpful.
The location is great with the village a short stroll away which has plenty of good places to eat and enjoy a drink by a log fire, brilliant cheese shop plus other nice individual shops. It's also a good location to visit anywhere in the Cotswolds with ease.
We shall return.
Ideal for visiting the Cotswolds
We had a 4 night stay here last week. The only nice day we had was when we went to the caravan show at the NEC. The site is ideal for visiting the Cotswolds. There's a lot of National Trust houses near by and the small towns in the area are well worth a visit. Although the weather was poor we still found plenty to do. Moreton in Marsh is a short walk from the site with lot's of pubs & eating places. We spent a morning wandering around the antiques shops. Well worth a winter visit.
February 2015 winter break
Pleasant welcome from the wardens. Good site thoughtfully laid out so it doesn't feel hemmed in. Some pitches are narrow. This makes it difficult to avoid damaging grass with car tyres and feet especially after frost has melted and the ground is very soft. I am being very picky because we receive such a generally high standard from "the club" and wardens. Moreton in Marsh is a lovely town within an easy walk. Lots of eating places and a Tuesday market, the Batsford arboretum is just up the road, within walking distance for some people, although quite a busy road so not a country lane walk. The Cotswolds are always a delight and we'll be back as soon as possible.
