Everybody has different views of sites and what bothers one doesn't bother another but I was disappointed with this smallish site, it is really split into two parts with one being the hard standings for visiting tourers and the other being 7 old permanent caravans and awnings most with that lovely green mold colour so the first impression is 'run down'. Here are a list of likes and dislikes
Liked-Pub on site & No extra for EHU usage
Disliked-No site sign, coming from Ross on A49 you turn right at the Peterstow signs and left at the yew tree mobile home site going through a gap in the hedge-no gates/security
Most of the long term caravans are showing their age, a lot seem empty
Its a adults only site but that doesn't apply to visitors
Nuisance dog barking from the corner caravan, up to 1. 22am one night
No drinking water tap labels and rubbish bins not signposted(wheelie bins behind fence by pub)
No wardens or interaction with owners-all done online
Old sign on noticeboard saying £20 a night but its £25
Sloping site but no bricks or blocks available
No wifi except in pub but reasonable 4g signal on vodafone
Hard standings quite narrow so you walk on wet grass to access caravan
Some road noise from the A49
The toilets/showers are unisex in a hut but nice enough
Stayed here for 4 nights over Ross Cider Festival as I prefer to have better facilities.
As I have had mentioned in my past reviews, this site is great for a pub site with very good facilities. Very clean and tidy, and the staff at the pub were very friendly and helpful as always.
The pub serves great ciders and perries that are made by Ross-on-Wye Cider and Perry Company, plus a good range of beers and spirites etc.
Their partner Firebird Kitchen serves great pizzas etc. On certain days.
There is a well-stocked Londis just up the road from the pub and campsite which is also a Post Office.
I did not venture out much as walking up and down to Broome Farm where the Cider Festival took place was enough for me!
Although this site is Adult-only, it is right next door to the pub's beer garden, and the pub is family friendly! Therefore, be prepared for some noise especially when the weather is nice and/or when the pub has an event.
All in all, another very nice stay, and I am going back there for their Ross-tober-fest (German-themed beer festival) in October and also the New Year weekend in 2024.
Where to begin. Arrived in good time to learn that the pitch allocated was taken up by " somebody who is here all the time"? Ok no probs went on next empty pitch only to find that the electric point allocated to that pitch had been taken by a tent as " their lead was clearly too short so they used your allocation". Really so now I have to find a 30 metre hook up lead and therefore I am disadvantaged? So settle into the pitch quite disgruntled to find that the individuals from the pitch we should have had "regulars"! had allowed their dogs to use our pitch as a toilet facility without the required clean up!
First impressions are important and it would appear " if your not from around here, aka Royston Vasey! Then you are insignificant!
The saving grace was the individual who tried to help and served a great pint in the pub! via mobile
Decided to end the camping year by staying at Yew Tree Inn and it was great as the pub had events planned for 30th (monthly cider club, 10 GBP per person) and 31st (free cider tasting, cider flight and cheese pairing, plus free buffet and pear cocktail to welcome the New Year), highly recommended.
The site only has 8 pitches and it was fully booked; however, due to last minute cancellation, a couple of pitches were unoccupied.
The facilities were well-maintained as per usual.
Already booked for their cider festival in August and Rosstoberfest (their Octoberfest) in October 2024, waiting for booking to open for the New Year weekend as I am definitely going back!
With easy access to the Wye Valley, or the Malverns, this is a fantastic spot for a back-to-nature camping escape, with all electricity generated on site. Non-electric grass pitches with fire pits for your tent or campervan, or enjoy the home comforts of various quirky wooden cabins and thoughtfully renovated shepherd's huts. Despite its offgrid feel, guests can access brand-new toilets and hot showers.
With thoughtful touches around the camping field, including planting, beautiful wild grasses, and flourishing vegetable beds, the site sits between Ledbury, Ross-on-Wye and Newent, providing a pick of independent shops and amenities. Pubs and cider makers are located a stroll away, and dogs are welcome. Look forward to a warm welcome from hosts Ruth, James, and their cheery canines Chaucer and Luther! Find out more here
Just returned from another lovely trip at this pub camp site which is adult-only.
I booked months in advance without knowing my stay would coincide with their Oktoberfest weekend, and it was lovely, with lots of guest beers as well as ciders and perries from Ross-on-Wye Cider and Perry Company. They also had pizzas from Firebird Oven which had 4 pizzas especially for the festival. There were music too and it was all very jolly and fun, and everyone was in good spirit and many in costumes.
The pitch I chose, being Pitch 4 was slightly slanted and I needed to use my chocks on one side.
The facilities were great for a pub campsite, very clean and tidy. Two separate toilets were unisex, and there was only one sink outside. There were two separate showers, one with a toilet and sink and was accessible by wheelchair users.
There is no motorhome service point, however, there was a chemical disposal point, a grey water waste drain and 2 washing up sinks with very hot water!
All communal areas and facilities were well kept.
Apart from the pub's Oktoberfest, they also hosted a cider blending workshop as part of the Hereford AppleFest during my stay. It was very informative and enjoyable.
The site was only a short walk away from Broom Farm where one could find the orchards for cider apples and pears for perry; as well as the more rustic Orchard Camping which is family friendly without EHU.
The owners of the Broom Farm and Ross Cider and Perry Company were very friendly and helpful to visitors. Likewise for those who were behind the bar at Yew Tree Inn who also looked after the cider shop with lots of their own products to choose from.
Yew Tree Inn is a must for cider and perry lovers without a doubt, and I have booked to stay over the New Year weekend in 2023/4 and also for their annual cider festival in late August/early September 2024. Can't wait!
I stayed 12 nights at Yew Tree inn, the site is an adults only site and a bit more compact, which I found quite pleasing. The check in to the site is contactless, you just drive in and pitch up, I extended my stay to over the BH, I just booked again via the website.
The plots have EHU and a mix between hardstanding and grass.
There is a pub on site, which serves good beer / cider and food (no food Sunday or Monday’s), it’s either pizza or a burgers. I tried the pizza and it was really good, I also tried the ciders, though just beware they can be of a stronger alcohol content!
The facilities are satisfactory, there is chemical toilet / grey water disposal and drinking water tap. There are 3 washing up basins, 2 inside the hut and one outside, the 2 inside are much larger, in fact you probably could wash clothes in there as well.
The toilets are unisex 1 disabled with shower and 2 others toilets with 1 solo walking in shower. The hot water is nuclear hot, if you wash your hands, within 10 seconds it’s so hot, so have to add cold.
Phone and TV signals were good, you can see the transmitter, in the distance to the NW.
The bus stop is directly outside the campsite entrance the Northbound one to Hereford has a sign and the one to Gloucester (via Ross on Wye), is the entrance to the site, (no post sign), if you using either make sure you hail the bus with a clear arm signal. The 33 is great value, it’s hourly, I got to Gloucester for £4 return, same with Hereford. I downloaded the Stagecoach app and it’s good on live times. I visited Pluzzlewood, Symonds Yat rock and river walk, Goodrich castle, on my bike.
I was on the pitches, which backed on to the pub garden, I had no issues apart from on Saturdays the gardener will start up the sit on mower at 7. 45am! The garden I feel, could get busy in the summer, so if you want a more quieter pitch, go for the ones on the opposite side (pitches 5-8).
My only gripes were the toilet paper in the blocks kept running out and sometimes, in the end I just took my own and 1 night had a motorhome on the next pitch arrive at 9. 35pm and they were making noise banging away setting up until at least 10. 45pm.
Also, on site in the first week a lot of noisy yapping dogs, behind the site there is a mobile home park and they too have dogs and sometimes the site ones barking set off them and it sounded a bit like cruffs.
All in all I enjoyed my stay.
