Excellent

First visit after refurbishment and the improvements were excellent. We had booked a standard pitch with awning. We saw the blocked paved multi-surface pitches had two different coloured marker posts one for awnings and one without. It would help if these are bookable on the booking form otherwise you could book one wanting to put an awning up but there would not be one available. Wardens were very friendly and helpful. New toilet block superb.

Narrow pitches

A friendly and helpful arrival, a very good location and nice new facilities - a site I will return to. But I thought that the Blue and Green H/S pitches are marked out wrong causing very narrow pitches. Just move all the markers 6"/12" to the left!

A great 3 day visit

Arrived on a lovely cold, dry day...... finding the site, with ease. Shown a choice of multi surface pitches. These were block paving and very nice indeed! An awning would have been difficult to erect but for our motorhome, perfect. A view of The Abbey and a well newly planted site with superb facilities....... spotless and warm! 100 yards from the Abbey and main streets of Tewkesbury, offering endless interesting buildings, alleyways and river walks. Plus walks over the ‘battlefields’ with Aldi’s through the cemetery! The Bell, nearby offered great food at reasonable prices and, of course, The Abbey is a must! A thoroughly enjoyable three days. Well done The Wardens! Excellent Thank you 😊 We shall be back!

nice stopover

our second visit to site, this is our first visit since revamp. Stopped on way to and from Devon, great place for a stop over. Got a very warm welcome ,like the new block paving pitches. very busy sites many like us using it as stop over. Thought £30.90 a night was pricey but a lot of other sites don't allow 1 night stopovers so cant complain. The town is very dog friendly and had a meal in the Bell. Nice walk along river and lots of shops as well. Site next to school so don't know what access will be like if arriving when kids are finishing school. No dog walk but next door to big field. Would stop again for stopover or weekend away.

Brilliant

We came here before the upgrade and read reviews and were so worried BUT it is excellent yes there are lots of pitches but spacing is excellent. The facilities are plentiful and clean being a club site it is pricey but you get what you pay for.

Could be better

Warm greeting by the excellent wardens always a good start. On a positive note the new facilties were first class.always clean and no queues. We were on a serviced pitch which was excellent apart from the fact it was on the short side and you were face to face with the units opposite. Also because of their location and the lack of screening until the new shrubs mature, meant that all we could see was other units from all angles. It gave the impression of squeezing in as many units as possible for maximum return. Wifi and TV both superb. Nice short walk into town with plenty of shops,theatre and boat trips. The Abbey is breathtaking in its beauty and history. Also good access to the Black Mountains in Wales and the site at Pandy is within easy reach if you fancy a peaceful change.

Pleasantly surprised

Having read some of the reviews of this site we approached our 3 night stay with some trepidation. We booked a serviced pitch to ensure we got a hard standing and bearing in mind the weather forecast it was a good job that we did. We received a very warm welcome from the lady warden and selected a very good sized pitch with a view towards the Abbey. Before we even entered the reception we noticed a board asking members not to walk across the new plantings or other members’ pitches. Bearing in mind the facility block is at the centre of the site walking across pitches must have been very common (one of my pet hates) but the new planting should be commended which should prevent this rude behaviour. The facilities have recently been refurbished and were spotless and spacious. We had several nice walks from the site to the town and along the river. Although overlooked by several flats the site was surprisingly quiet and our nights were not disturbed at all - not even by the Abbey chimes! All things considered we had a very enjoyable few days apart from packing up in the rain! The only negative thing I could say is that the chemical disposal points were both quite a way from our pitch but otherwise we were glad we chose to stay at Tewkesbury Abbey and will undoubtedly stay again when we travel to the West Country.

Will return as more to see

Our 1st visit here for a couple of nights which we enjoyed. Had a non-awning pitch on brick paving so not getting stuck and not needing to clean inside when leaving was good. Had an enjoyable walk south on riverside footpath. Wardens friendly. Facilities kept clean. Easy short stroll into town. We saw a medieval festival advertised for some time in summer. We will definitely return as there is more to explore in the area. No dogs or children with us so can't really judge suitability.

We'll be back!

A very convenient to get to site, with lots of amenities and places to visit close by. The pitches are spacious firm and pretty level. The staff are very friendly and could not be more helpful. A bit of constructive criticism...... Firstly, the handles on the toilet block doors are round and stiff, and not easy to use for older, arthritic hands, especially one handed. I had to put my towel and toiletries down and use two hands. They should be LEVER handles. This should be easily fixable, and worth doing especially because the site staff told me that I was not the first to find them difficult to use. Secondly, the roadways are a bit narrow and some corners rather tight, as a result of which vehicles have recurrently run up over the grass edges turning them to mud, which is at least, unsightly. One patch has been repaired with Cotswold stone pebbles; rather than the going to the trouble and expense of tarmacking these worn areas, I suggest that the are ALL repaired with the same stone pebbles.
