Date of Visit: August 2013 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: 543chris 1 review from this member

 This was probably one of the best campsites we have ever been on and we have been camping regularly for the last 10 years! We were greeted by friendly staff and made to feel very welcome. They gave us a really useful information sheet which not only told us about the campsite, but also about the local amenities and, in particular, good places to eat nearby. We had some lovely meals in the pubs that were recommended - places that would perhaps never have found without the info sheet. The toilet blocks were spotlessly clean with free showers that had ample hot water supplies. The Cafe on site was lovely. They baked on the premises and we often brought their freshly baked bread for either breakfast or for our picnics. The location was brilliant. We spent many a day at Symonds Yat, which was about a 15 minute drive away. All in all, a perfect place to camp to be able to enjoy the hidden gem that is The Wye Valley.

Reviewer: Guineawigs 1 review from this member

 This is a really great site ideal for exploring the Forest Of Dean, river Wye and surrounding villages & attractions.

Campsite very well organised and wardens very friendly & helpful. Showers really, really good even by most hotel standards. Hot, spacious, clean & each cubicle has a wire shelf for shampoo etc. Could not be faulted.

Freshly baked bread & pastries from the cafe (pre order by 8pm to be ready from 9am in the morning) a real treat. Pain au chocolate our particular favourite. A campsite that offer real cappuccinos! We were impressed.

My only complaint was that the 2 small freezers provided for freezer blocks were less than effective. Even after leaving the blocks in either one of the freezers all day they were still not frozen! This did make keeping food chilled an issue for us.

Other than that highly recommended, and thank you to everyone at Greenway Farm for an excellent long weekend away. 


Date of Visit: June 2013 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: OldMooz 1 review from this member

 This was our second visit at Greenway Farm.

The welcome was as expected, very friendly and professional and we were given our choice of a pitch sheltered from the somewhat inconvenient southwesterly gales!

Our trailer tent is a Conway Classic Trio with full-on four metre awnings, so the sheltered aspect was very much appreciated. The 10m x 10m pitch size is more than adequate and with electric hook-up all the creature comforts are available.

Since our last visit in 2010 there have been alterations and improvements to the toilets and shower blocks and washing-up facilities, which make everything that much easier to access and use. No excuses now for any lack of cleanliness, personal or otherwise!

During our stay we visited local towns, fished for a day on Steam Mills lake and visited two heritage railways, the Dean Forest and the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire, so we were very well occupied.

The local Co-Op in Drybrook had all that we needed to sustain us and we had Friday night fish and chips in the Greenway Café, which was lovely.

This site gives us everything that we require for a relaxed and peaceful time away from home.

With their professional, courteous and friendly service all the people running Greenway Farm make it a very welcoming place indeed.

All in all this is a site with our full recommendation.

 My wife and I have just spent 5 nights here and what a fantastic site.

Booking. Really friendly on phone and took advantage of five night starting Sunday offer. Great value

Pitches. 10 metre square pitch. No worrying about unit site.

Camp. Mainly level pitch close to petting animals though main field does slope.

Staff. All were friendly and approachable. Great with local advise.

Facilities. 6 sink washing up room, Laundry room (quite cheap to use), Multiple wash basins, toilets and showers. All facilities kept spotless.

Cafe and shop. We did not use the cafe ourselves but other campers were very complimentary. Shop has basic items but a decent range.

Quiet little village close by with a few shops which we did not need to use. Very close to walks within the Forest Of Dean. Short drive to Monmoth and Ross On Wye and easy access to Brecon Beacons. The site is clean and well maintained. Grass mown well and lots of flowers around in beds, new hanging baskets and boxes. Thanks to the owners and all their staff. We will be returning.

Reviewer: Tricia 1008 1 review from this member

 Booked this site as a last minute weekend away - what a find.

Site is spotless and beautifully kept, well maintained spacious pitches and you get such a lovely warm welcome on arrival.

The toilet and shower block is top class, spotless and the showers are great.

The surroundings are very pretty with lots of different walks for all types of age and ability.

There is an on site café which sells various food, drink and snacks. On Friday nights its fresh fish and chips - highly recommended. The home made cake is delicious - what better than home made coffee cake, although my husband would say the Victoria sponge !

This is a first class site and we will be regular visitors from now on - highly recommended

Date of Visit: May 2013 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Kirstee 1 review from this member

 We have just got back from a lovely bank holiday weekend at Greenway Farm. We booked at last minute as the husband decided he wanted to go to the Forest of Dean to do some downhill mountain biking. I'd say we had a VERY lucky find!

The site is beautiful in the rolling countryside, with views of luscious green fields, some with horses grazing in. Which was perfect for me!

The site is all laid to grass (although I did see someone mention there's one hard standing) and is slightly undulating, but we didn't find this a problem with our 7. 54 meter caravan and porch awning, as the wardens were happy for you to pitch pretty much however was easiest for you as long as you were in-between your pitch markers on the fence. Something we found very refreshing.

Also refreshing was the owners not having the need to 'overfill' the site with pitches which gave you a real sense of space. Lovely. The wash blocks seemed to be very new with the ladies having 6 toilets and 6 showers (all kept very clean on a fully booked weekend), I did not have to wait once all weekend. My husband stated there was ample toilets/showers in the mens too.

The Cafe was cute, with a basic but nice and not overpriced menu, we enjoyed our meal there. It also has a takeaway menu (the breakfast baps were lovely the day we didn't have time to cook). It also has a nice wash up area and I believe a laudry room, although I didn't use the latter. There's an information centre by the office, which also sell fresh hen or duck eggs.

The village is a short walk, with a co-operative mini market, postoffice, a fish and chip shop and a dog friendly pub. We only had time to use the mini market on our visit.

The Forest of Dean is close by, which is well worth a visit, whether you're into mountain biking or not (Pedalabikeaway is fab for all sorts of bike hire. There's also a payable uplift service called Flyup Downhill), it has all sorts of bike trails which have all been made up by volunteers for free use, whether you fancy a nice family trail or a mad downhill nutters trail (which the husband did!) or anything inbetween. Or if you just want to walk it's beautiful. If you park at Pedalabikeaway just make sure you pay and display, £3. 50 per day (Summer months) and I think it was £3. 00 per day in winter months. I didn't think this was much when you think the money is pumped back into such a lovely area. We did see cars/vans with parking tickets so don't risk it! If you don't wish to pay, there are other car parking sites around the forest.

Now back to Greenway Farm and the site Wardens (I think they were called Graham and Carol), these guys were absolutely lovely! Nothing was too much trouble and they were always smiling. Which made a very happy and relax weekend! Thank you guys :)

Myself, Hubby, 13 year old and 11 year old WILL DEFINITELY be going back to Greenway Farm. Hopefully VERY soon!

Reviewer: Mags01 4 reviews from this member

 We spent two nights here and really enjoyed it. The wardens are really friendly and helpful. Great place for a base to see the sights, Only a few of us on site so was really peaceful.

The motorhome waste drain could probably do with being in the middle as was a little difficult near the trees to drain off into it.

Site is well kept and the cleanliness of the showers are fantastic.

There is a lovely Cafe on site, which we never got chance to use but the menu looks lovely, Sunday lunch too!.

The short walk into the village is only a short walk away, not all via a footpath though, take care with small children.

If you want a site full of entertainment and on site facilities this is not for you, if you want peace and quiet, self sufficient this is amazing.

We would really recommend this site and will be visiting again soon

Reviewer: MKCK 1 review from this member

 Stayed mid Easter week. Welcomed by the owner - very friendly. They booked us in (very friendly and helpful). Site quiet, very tidy and toilet block excellent, very well kept, modern, heated and lovely hot showers! Very welcome on bitterly cold windy days! Would like to recommend that the women's showers have more hooks behind the partition please.

Electric hook-ups and one pitch hard standing. Didn't investigate any play facilities for children, as we hadn't got any with us.

Forest of Dean and beyond easily accessible. Good local walks. Didn't use Cafe though it looked very nice. Highly recommend this site.

Reviewer: Welshgenius 1 review from this member

 Stayed at this site for the weekend whilst visiting the Forest of Dean, very warm welcome upon arrival lots of helpful information given about the site and local amenities.

Tent pitch itself was in a good location on a slight incline.

Facilities available were fantastic with hot showers available throughout the day and the toilet and changing facilities kept very neat and tidy. Also the fantastic luxury of on site free hair dryers which was a life saver in the freezing cold conditions the British weather threw at us.

On site cafe serves great food at a reasonable price with the ease of not having to walk very far in order to have a good meal. All in all a fantastic site run by lovely people in a fabulous location 10/10 will definitely be returning if in the area again.

Reviewer: Traceytw 1 review from this member

 This was my first experience of camping with a friend. Loved it here so much we have bought a folding camper and coming back for this week end.

Great snack in the cafe of tea and toast. Clean and warm facilities. Showers were warm and three were plenty of them. Good facilities for washing up too. A well cared for site. I would recommend to my friends and family.

Kids enjoyed the area, great for walks.

Reviewer: Bexieboo 1 review from this member

 We camped here for 2 nights, last week, mid week. Everything was perfect. Toilet block, pitch condition and size, staff welcome, value for money, all excellent. Short drive to forest of Dean. Cant comment on the local pub as we didn't visit. Nearby walks through the forest a big plus for us dog owners! Freezer for refreezing blocks another plus point!

The site of the field we were in is on a gentle slope so inevitably some pitches had a gentle gradient. You just pitch your tent on your plot, to suit you best. Had a lovely stay!

Reviewer: Wheelton Wanderer 4 reviews from this member

 Lovely site. Staff are very friendly & helpful, pitches are well kept, shower/toilet block is nice & clean with plenty of room in the showers to change, get dried and hang clothes and towels, etc.

Cafe on site is lovely. Cake!

Lots of room for the kids to play.

Forest is just a stone's throw away and great for walking and mountain bikes. Local village is a fairly short walk away with the usual basic amenities (not sure about the kebab shop next to the funeral directors but go to the rugby club for a cheap pint ;).

Very enjoyable and would definitely stay again.

Reviewer: Telldell 7 reviews from this member

 Fantastic site. Just returned from a 3 night stay - 18 of us staying in 5 tents. The staff are all very friendly and helpful and the facilities are spotlessly clean with ample hot water. The site is well laid out with plenty of room to pitch even the biggest modern tents. Great idea to pitch around each of the fields to give children plenty of room to run around. 10. 30pm quiet time is also welcome after a busy day of canoeing or caving! Only slight criticism would be the lack of hedging between tents which are pitched back to back - can be noisy if there's a 'snorer' or a baby in the tent behind. The on site cafe is good and the meals were fine - would recommend the Gloucester Old Spot sausages which can be bought there. Local facilities are in easy reach as is the fantastic countryside particularly around the River Wye and Symonds Yat. None of us would hesitate in going back to this site.

Reviewer: Ruttlecamp 2 reviews from this member

 We booked the site on the basis that there was easy access to The Forest of Dean, it would have internet access (needed for business purposes) and it would be quiet. I am sorry to say we were disappointed on all counts.

The main part of the forest is not an easy walk nor a pleasant cycle ride away. Very narrow and busy roads have to be negotiated to get there.

The internet access is weak at best and in our part of the field did not work at all.

The last and worst aspect was the noise from a combination of dogs, screaming children and giggling teenagers. The latter took place up to the curfew of 10. 30, which according to the parent was their 'right' to do so.

The other disruptive factor was the slope of the field which made getting a good night's sleep very difficult.

On a positive note, the owners and staff were very pleasant and the facilities clean and modern.

My recommendations would be:

Bring the 'reasonable noise' curfew back to 9pm, so that people like us with small children could get them to sleep.

Evict the owners of noisy dogs

Ensure that on taking bookings, the footprint of the tent is taken account of.

Advise that the sites are on a slope.

Reviewer: Annabrown 1 review from this member

 Great site! We chose this site because of its proximity to Bristol for a 2 night get-away. Ladies WCs and showers are really well laid out and spotlessly clean. Free showers, hairdryers, plenty of space and a separate baby-changing area were really welcome. Would be 10/10 if they could squeeze in a little baby bath too!

Friendly, helpful staff and the bonus of a few goats on site to keep our toddler amused.

Lovely safe site with plenty of space for children to ride bikes and play.

Only complaint would be the size of the pitches - we have a fairly large family tent and it was difficult to fit the tent + car within the boundaries of the pitch, it didn't leave much room to sit outside, BBQ etc and our 'neighbours' felt very close which was a little stressful since we have a toddler + baby!

All in all a great little site with loads to do in the local area - we would definitely return if some larger pitches were available. 
Management response: The baby changing room will be converted to a family bathroom with additional baby changing room over the winter. After opening a new ladies utility block this summer we ran out of time (and money) I’m afraid. However, I have just ordered a baby bath and stand to help things along for the remainder of this year’s season.

We have previously received praise regarding our pitch sizes but, over the last 2 years, we have noticed that some tents are growing very large. If we have prior warning that a customer has a particularly large tent, we have several pitches that can accommodate these comfortably.
