We had booked a long time ago, planning to visit Stratford Christmas Market. Having seen the mixed reviews we were a little apprehensive. However, it was all brilliant, so need to worry! The couple that manage it were very welcoming and friendly on our arrival. There were even lovely home made cakes for sale at reception, which were delicious. The site is literally smack bang in the middle of the racecourse, so quite a special and scenic spot. It is literally a stones throw walk into Warwick though, across the race course and up the road. Warwick is lovely, with some fine choices of pubs and dining. We had one of the gravel pitches. Some reviewers had moaned about the amount of gravel, but it was no issue for us at all. The toilet and shower block was immaculate and cleaned to perfection every day. The people managing this site are lovely and I made sure to say a big "thank you" for all their hard work and letting us have a later check out, which enabled us to do a lovely snowy walk with the dog, then have brunch before leaving. We did the Park Run on Saturday morning too, which starts about 100 metres from the site. That is a great event too, if you fancy a nice sociable, fast 5 km run on Saturday morning! The only slight downside of our whole stay was the time it took to get the bus in to Stratford. The bus stop is just up the road, but the bus was very late and the road into Stratford was chaos, so it took over an hour! Been quicker walking... Highly recommend a visit to the Warwick Racecourse site. Lovely location, close to the pretty town and lots of lovely walks on the doorstep. Thanks. Neil, Susie, Rosie, Isabel and Bobby the dog (plus our friends in their 4 outfits as well).
