Lovely location

Just arrived home after a lovely week at this site run Tewksbury. Prior to travelling I actually phoned up the site as after reading the reviews I was getting quite worried. In view of some of these previous reviews I will try and give a balanced view. The new club signage is not brill but they have put a border around it now to make it easier to notice. The entrance and arrivals area is spot on, in fact there are 3 lanes for arrivals. Admittedly one lane takes you in front of a gate but that is to get outfits clear of the car park entrance just outside the site entrance. I enjoyed listening to the cricket matches over the fence, its quintessentially English and I never heard any noise from the Rugby. The site can look quite chaotic when it is full but there is plenty of room and some of the pitches have a lovely view of the Abbey. Ok the toilet blocks need updating but the reviews tell you this so it is not going to be a surprise and they are kept very clean and tidy as usual. This is a great location and just a short walk in to Tewksbury centre. There are some nice pubs and restaurants and plenty of coffee shops too. I can recommend Coffee 1 and Cafe Au Chocolat to get you started. The market on Saturday and Wednesday although small has a very good fruit and veg stall and I can recommend the local plums and sweetcorn. 5 minutes walk and you are at the Abbey which is a very impressive building. While we were visiting they were conducting tower tours all week. If you are feeling fit and energetic give it a go as the views from the top are marvellous. Walk out of the site across the playing field, out of the gate the opposite side, turn left 200 mts and you are at Aldi for all your shopping (there is a Leisure Centre next door too). Again across the playing field but this time walk down the lane opposite and this brings you down to the River Severn. Sometimes in summer there is a little ferry running to take you across to the pub on the opposite side. There are plenty of other walks along the River Severn and Avon too. There is a nice short walk around the Ham to the Weir on the Severn which will only take an hour or so. Every Tuesday evening there is a guided walk around the lanes and alleys of Tewksbury which was really interesting, details are in the Tourist Information which you will pass when walking in to the centre. We visited several NT properties during our week and there are lots to choose from in this area. All in all I don't think you will be disappointed if you come to stay at Tewksbury. Hope this helps, take care, Richtoy & Sally.
