Date of Visit: September 2008 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Lornamd 15 reviews from this member

 You need to keep an eye out for the sign off the road, but it's worth it!

The site is really well laid out, with generous pitches and lots of maturing greenery to create some privacy. There is a slight slope to some of the pitches and some stones close to the ground surface mean you need to be a bit careful when pitching the tent, but it's not too bad.

The shower, loo and kitchen block are all clean and tidy, and the water got hot!

It's a long miles' walk into Bourton-on-the-water, all downhill there but that does also mean it's all uphill (and quite steep in places) on the way back.

We visited three local National Trust places during our visit and took some lovely walks in the Cotswold country-side.

Our dog was welcome, and there were plenty off 'doggie-bins' around the site.

It is an adult only site (one of the main attractions for us) and there is nothing on the site in terms of evening entertainment, so you do need to travel if you can't entertain yourself, but again, that worked for us!

We had a lovely stay and will be back.

 This is a fantastic campsite!

Even though it is a new site the owners have thought of everything.

We arrived early on the Friday of our weekend and the owners were on site and they pointed us in the direction of our pitch (normally it is on a board by the entrance to the site.)

Lovely clean toilets and showers, free hot water. Meat and eggs to buy from the local farm. Clean wash up area. Well sized pitches.

Only down side was that there was not much of a view from the site and some of the pitches had a slope but hay if that's all!

We will be returning to this site as soon as possible!

Reviewer: The Sunflower 40 reviews from this member

 Visited this site during the Bank Holiday & it wasn't overly busy which was good as it was a generally peaceful site.

There was a slight mix up with our tent pitches as we had two booked but only had one however this was big enough to accommodate our tent & our friends. The site owners were friendly and even gave us a discount on the pitch as we had to share one. It had two washing up sinks inside with freezer and washing facilities which was useful. I highly recommend that people try the local produce, (i.E Hereford Beef Steaks and Beefburgers as well as the absolutely adoring Ice Cream) provided by the site owners & the money is left in an honesty box which is refreshing to see that everybody appeared to participate in with. This site is about a mile and a half away from the picturesque Bourton On the Water which is well worth a visit.

Now the only downside & it's not many is that the showers didn't drain very well so after you'd dried yourself, you were still standing in your own water, there was only two washing sinks in the gents and two toilets which I feel wasn't enough and I did have to wait the one morning! The site could benefit with maybe a couple of low level lights as you couldn't see a thing at night.

Overall, would I go again, I don't know, I'd like to see if any improvements had been made. If they had I think I would be tempted.

 A peaceful site set in lovely countryside. Huge pitches which is a good job as they made a mistake with our booking and only gave up 1 pitch for us and our friends but we still fitted 2 tents and a outwell sliding canopy and 2 cars on it with safety in mind. Steaks, beefburgers and ice cream must not be missed. The owners are lovely though they are not on site all time which didn't matter as there was no problems with anyone on site. They have a great deal of trust for their customers as everything is on honesty systems and you often came across their blackberry sitting in the information shed and this was respected.

Only 2 gripes;the rubbish issue,they have great recycling facilities but nowhere for general rubbish, the stuff you can't recycle and as a result people were just leaving their black sacks by the recycling.Very neatly. No one wants to or will take a rubbish bag home unless in the middle of nowhere so I think Martin and Henrietta should give in and supply a bin Other gripe was the showers in the ladies don't drain and they just flood the whole place out. It's not nice standing in cold standing water. But I would recommend this site just be prepared for the wind as it can blow but it really is a peaceful and quiet piece of countryside close to some beautiful sights.

 The site was excellent. When we arrived owners came to see us. Martin and Henrrieta are very friendly and helpful. Very clean and well maintained modern toilet block and washing up area. Large pitches. As this site does not allow children it is very quiet, peaceful and very relaxing. Its not to far to the village Brouton on the Water, which has plenty to offer Well worth a visit.

Reviewer: Twixthecat 41 reviews from this member

 What a fantastic site! Set in beautiful, quiet, undulating countryside of the Cotswolds. The site is just 1 1/2 miles to the attractive village of Boughton on the Water.

The pitches are big (the pitch next to is fitted in three tents and a gazebo!), flat, well drained, clearly marked out and numbered. There is a water point between each pitch meaning not too far to carry the water!
The site facilities are spotlessly clean. The ladies had three loos, one sink cubicle and another 'open' sink (with soap), hand-drier (though loud enough to be heard from the pitches closest to the loo block), three free push button showers and free hairdryer. The showers are very clean, powerful and hot (give it a moment for water to heat up).
However, probably my only (very small!) gripe about the whole site are that the shower cubicles are 'wet rooms' - there's no dry area once in the cubicle. There are plenty of hooks and a small (ankle high) plastic stool in the cubical but the water didn't drain from the floor leaving a big puddle to get changed in. It probably didn't help though that while trying to juggle towel and putting on jeans without getting them soaked I managed to drop my t-shirt on the floor so it got dripping wet. To have a curtain or some of screen to have a 'dry' area, and the floor to be a bit better draining would make all the difference.

Also in the block is the washing up room with two sinks with hot water, a washing machine, free to use fridge and freezer. A lovely touch is that they also offer meat, fresh free range eggs and local ice cream for sale on an honesty box system. I tried the ice cream and it was delicious! The people next to us had ordered some burgers and also gave a good report. I also like the way that recycling is compulsory on site. There are bins for food, BBQs, tin and plastic - no big smelly 'general' rubbish bins. It would have helped if we'd known from when we arrived on site rather than have to sort it out after. Also instructions on what to do with no-recyclable waste (i.E. Take it home?!) as a couple of groups had just left sacks next to the recycling boxes.

Other that there's just the information shed - a reasonable selection of local leaflets. The owners aren't based on site but seem to visit often and are very friendly, walking round talking to campers, collecting fees etc.

To make the most of walking and cycling in the immediate area I would strongly recommend getting an OS map as the Boughton on the Water visitor centre offered few thorough local guides - but that could be due to visiting in high season they were out of stock. During our stay we cycled to Northleach - a lovely (if hilly!) approx 6 mile ride each way. We had a drink in the pretty gardens of the Wheatsheaf Inn. Then in the evening walked into Boughton on the water for dinner by the river watching the duck races - The Old Manse I think it was called, lovely food but mediocre service. Another restaurant (the Rose?) a couple of doors down looked better but unfortunately was fully booked. Followed by a drink at the Duke of Wellington - out of the way of the main tourist traffic but still right in the town centre with garden seats next to the water round the back. Although not far the walk back is up hill all the way! Then the next day on the way home we stumbled across the lovely Fox Inn at Little Barrington advertising food all day. Here again with a lovely water side garden and brilliant roast Sunday dinner with a home cooked feel to it with a fruity local ale.

Overall a great site, definitely recommended for grown ups wanting a relaxing break. Offers peace and quiet with spotless facilities and ideally located for reaching local attractions without any traffic noise.

Reviewer: Petunia 1 review from this member

 This is an excellent campsite. The pitches are generous, the facilities clean and the owners exceptionally helpful. The location of the site is ideal and, for us, the lack of mature trees made it possible to enjoy the sunshine we were fortunate enough to have for the duration of our stay. I would thoroughly recommend it.

Reviewer: Loopyjay 3 reviews from this member

 This campsite has so many good points it's difficult to know where to begin!

My partner and I wanted a relaxing break and this is exactly what we got. The owners were away so Rose was in charge and she was lovely! She was helpful, friendly and a joy to talk to.

When we arrived it was incredibly windy and we had great difficulty putting the tent up! However with the help of two fellow campers we managed in the end. So thank you to them! Another thank you goes out to our neighbours who saved the tent from blowing away the following day!

The whole site is quiet with spectacular views. The pitches are huge and the toilets were very clean.

There are icecream, eggs and steaks on sale using an honesty box for payment. Anyone who comes here has GOT to try the steaks! They were out of this world, the best we've ever tasted.

Not only are we coming back for the piece and quiet, the wonderful surrounding areas and the friendliness but we'll also come back for those fantastic steaks!

Thank you all at Field Barn Park!

Reviewer: Jul207 4 reviews from this member

 The site is in the early stages of development. Will be interesting to visit the site once the planting has taken a hold.

Nice spacious pitches, with hook up and water taps close by. Look out for your name and pitch number on the list pinned to post on the way in.

Washing facilities are kept nice and clean. There is a washing machine, fridge & freezer, with 2 sinks for the washing up. Everythng is to hand for a nice relaxing break.

The adults only is a very good idea, but is was a shame that the group of 'adults' pitched behind us was acting like 12 year olds, being very loud and very drunk until 3am.

Saying that, it will not stop us going again and look forward to getting some more Cotswold air very soon.

Reviewer: Kavs 9 reviews from this member

 Very open site without much character at the moment but once the recently planted trees and grasses take off it will greatly improve. Most pitches slope but chocks are provided for those who need them. Water tap at the end of every other pitch. Also plenty of fire extinguishers dotted around the site. Good dog walking facilities with waste bins provided. Recycling on site for plastic, glass and tin.

Shower block in one corner of the site but heated and very clean. Plenty of hooks in each shower and water pressure excellent, so good in fact that you must remember to cover any clothes you have hung on the back of the door or they will be splashed. Freezer stocked with locally made 'real' ice-cream (chocolate is to die for) honesty box for payment. You can also order beef steaks from the farm which will be left in the fridge for your collection (highly recommended).

The location is superb for touring beautiful Cotswold villages. Very nice small shops in Stow and Cirencester, street market on a Tuesday in Moreton-in-Marsh. Bourton-on-the-Water is minutes away from the site by car and a nice walk down the hill for the fit (it's up hill all the way back). Motor museum, Bird World and lots more to offer. Lots of pretty pubs and a Co-op and Summerfield Supermarket for essentials.

Reviewer: Harebell 4 reviews from this member

 We were attracted to this site by the very positive reviews and we have to say we were not disappointed. The owners, Martin and Henrietta, gave us a very warm welcome.

The site was quiet and the pitches were very generous, with a water tap between each pitch. We found the toilets/showers to be spotless as was the kitchen area, which is all new and felt homely.

We look forward to our next stay at this site as there is so much to explore in the area.

Reviewer: Dinky129 4 reviews from this member

 I thought this site was fabulous, it was beautifully positioned by Bourton on the Water, being just far enough out to be peaceful whilst still being close enough to walk to. The prices are reasonable and the showers are lovely and clean and free! Like many people have said, this will be nice when all of the shrubbery have grown and the pitches are nicely screened off from one another. We will definitely be returning for a weekend break!

Reviewer: Madcatwoman 3 reviews from this member

 This is a very new site and some of the facilities were still being finished off when we arrived. When the hundreds of trees and shrubs which have been newly planted have matured, this site will be gorgeous. Considering how close it is to Bourton, it is lovely, peaceful and quiet - especially as it's adults only, so no screaming kids at 8 in the morning!.

The loo block was immaculate and although we are self contained and didn't use the showers, they looked clean and well maintained.

The weather was dire most of the time we were on the site, but the site was fairly well drained, and anyone who got stuck was helped by the very friendly owners.

We thought the site was excellent, and although fairly quiet as it's still new, it will no doubt get busier as more people 'discover' it.

Reviewer: Grinshady 3 reviews from this member

 Adults Only site so it is very peaceful. The site is a large field with pitches around the edge and 4 sections in the middle. The site had not been open long when we went and things had not grown much but it will be very nice for 2009. The shower and toilet block were all new and heated (very nice). The owner came around every day and was very nice and helpful. Bouton on the water is about 1.5 miles down the lane but its a long walk back (all uphill), I will be going back

Reviewer: Tigang 13 reviews from this member

 What a wonderful site! We decided to give it a go, even though it was fairly new and the most up-to-date review at the time mentioned that the toilet / shower block wasn't completely finished. Having been reassured by the owner that it was, we booked.

As a previous reviewer mentioned, your pitch number is indicated on a sign as you drive in; the owners appear at regular intervals to collect monies, check / clean facilities and ensure everyone is happy.

The location and size of the site is perfect and with such large pitches even the huge American Winnebago on the pitch next to ours looked quite comfortable. As another reviewer mentioned, it's early days for the newly planted green stuff and, yes, you can see from one end of the site to the other. However, it still feels welcoming and 'cozy' as it is, so things can only get better!

The facilities were immaculate and the toilet/shower block itself has been restored from an old building to maintain that rural feel. The washing-up room at the side has washing machines (pay per use) and a fridge/freezer (free to use the latter it appears). Fresh eggs are available to purchase on an 'honesty pot' basis as are meat and burgers (stored in the fridge)fresh from the farm that the site sits in; the names of the chickens who laid the eggs are recorded, but not the names of the animals who donated the meat ;-)

No children allowed but there were quite a few well-behaved dogs, some with their own tents (the owners do not levy a surcharge for gazebos etc). If you do bring a dog, there is an invitation to use the adjoining field for 'walkies'.

This is the perfect spot for exploring the local towns/villages. For those wanting to find it using the postcode in their SatNav, you'll end up at the farm entrance. Don't go in there. Passing the farm entrance on your right, the site entrance is about a hundred yards further along on the right.

Great site, very friendly owners. We'll be back!
