Reviewer: Freud 3 reviews from this member

 Arrived and welcomed on site by the owner and shown to our pitch which was pretty level Plenty of room and hook up available. Good hot showers but few of them. Site was busy but did not seem to be a problem as we never had to queue. Fabulous walk along the river into this lovely town. Great pubs and I would particularly recommend the smoking dog for a meal roughly a tenner per person.The site is a great base to tour Avebury stone circles and Laycock village.I would recommend it highly and will visit again

Reviewer: PinkLizzy73 4 reviews from this member

 We visited this site in July with friends, in fact 11 of us in total with 5 tents.

We was welcomed by a man & we took it he was the owner, he was very nice & friendly he showed us around the shower blocks ect.

The toilets were very clean & was like that for the whole weekend we was there.

But as I'm disabled I used the disabled toilet & shower, I felt a down side of things, was you wasn’t able to take the shower hose down off the wall to shower probably, which I'm sure other disabled users would agree with me isn’t very good?

Also one other down side of things, (but the owner did tell us about it) when many of people were showering at the same time the water pressure went very low & sometimes stopped.

Apart that everything was all good about the camp site.

 This was our first ever camping trip to a proper site. We found the owners both friendly, and very sympathetic to our novice skills (we took 3 1/2 hours to pack up, and were late leaving pitch). A tour of the impressive facilities, was very welcome.

Our pitch with EHU, was very flat and even and we thought costs were reasonable. The toilet block was spotless every time we used it. A quiet peaceful site, with a lovely 5-10 min river-side walk to Malmesbury.

We recommend the 'Smoking Dog' pub for a lovely meal and quiet drink. We felt very welcome, even with 2 dogs. Will definitely return after fantastic first trip.

Reviewer: Thunderboltflyer 3 reviews from this member

 The site is accessed by a short but narrow access road so if you are towing its better to get your partner to walk in first and check no traffic is leaving but this is the only very minor negative point.

The site is lovely and very quiet with only 30 pitches. Some tents without hook up can go in the top of the neighbouring field overlooking the river.The toilets are very clean and although only 3 toilets/2 showers per side there was never a queue. 3 washing up sinks were adequate and always had hot water. Very peaceful and quiet, lovely 10 minute walks into pretty town or by the river. Friendly and helpful owners. Definitely worth a visit if peace and quiet is your thing but not much for children to do unless they are happy to explore or can amuse themselves.

 We used this site as a base for visiting Longleat. It is a very small site and the owners do not make it child friendly. There were lists of rules everywhere and although we appreciate you couldn't play games with hard balls even using soft balls was banned. It felt the tent field had been left with very long grass so no one could play and this also affected the members of our party who had hayfever.

It was a very expensive site for the few facilities they had and be warned they charge extra for evrything!

The toilet and shower block were kept very clean and it was very quiet at night apart from the motorbikes roaring around on the nearby road. It is handy for exploring the area I just wouldn't recommend it for families.

Reviewer: Choccypud 1 review from this member

 We have just come back from a night on this campsite and were very happy with the facilities.

The facilities were better than any others we have come across in our limited camping lives - absolutely spotless and very well maintained. There was a good, modern and clean, large wetroom for family showering, as well as other showers in the single sex loos. Good washing up facilities and helpful owner.

We have never been on such a quiet site - no noise at all after 11pm, though it was quite empty as it was term time.

Lovely walk past good children's play area into Malmesbury.

The children were disappointed as there were not many children around, but I think that was a reflection of the time of year (mid Sept) rather than the campsite itself.

Reviewer: Pingram 2 reviews from this member

 Nice campsite, very well run and well kept. Nice facilities, clean toilets and they even have a mother and toddler shower room (but no baby changing table) which was handy.

Quite busy the weekend we were there, apparently if you book further ahead they can get you in the field to the side of the main one which has a pretty view over the river and Malmsbury, which is only a 10 minute walk away.

Reviewer: Mozza30 5 reviews from this member

 We recently stayed at this site for 3 nights to attend our friends wedding in the area. It was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. The site is very well maintained, quiet and well situated. As others have mentioned, it is a short pleasant walk away from the pretty town of Malmesbury where there are plenty of nice shops and watering holes. The owner of the site is very helpful and even lent us his personal iron to press our wedding clothes. The toilet & shower block is kept spotlessly clean and is adequate for a site of this size. It is not particularly a good site for kids but there is a little park for them to play on in a field just off the site. I would recommend this site to anyone for a short break.

Reviewer: Ldavis023 2 reviews from this member

 We visited the site from Sunday to Wednesday and were made to feel really welcome. Lovely quiet site with excellent facilities, very clean.

Great walks for the dogs and only a short walk into the town. Bit hilly though.

Beautiful surroundings and the pub just down road towards M4 (Radnor Arms) did great sunday lunch, all fresh vegetables!

Definitely worth another visit without the kids, they found it a bit boring but ok if you've got things to amuse them.

Thanks for a nice stay!

Reviewer: Katy Bee 2 reviews from this member

 A pleasant site with lovely views, beautifully kept with a clean loo block. The push-in taps on the showers are not ideal, and the water could have been hotter. The owner was helpful and showed us round, giving details of local attractions.

The pricing structure is very confusing. There are extra charges for all sorts of things - dogs, visitors, pup tents, gazebos - and I would prefer to be given a standard charge for a pitch, with any reasonable extras (dog) explained up front. I never got a receipt so was not clear what I had paid for!

There is a fridge available for campers use, for a small donation to charity, which we found useful.

The easy walk into the pretty town of Malmesbury makes the location of this site excellent. I would go again.

Date of Visit: July 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Fafred 1 review from this member

 Well we have just got back from a wet couple of days.

First time for 12 years in a tent (a new tent I hasten to add, the moths had got to the old one!) and it rained and rained.

Malmesbury itself was lovely, the site well kept, lawns were immaculate, toilets clean. The movement sensor controlled lights in the Gents needed to have the time increased although looking at the insulation tape wrapped around it a new unit might be more appropriate (I am an electrical engineer so perhaps that's a little picky).

When we first looked around the site, we were looking for somewhere local to try the tent and possibly store our caravan, we booked the stay and were told we would have the nice little corner pitch in the main field but this wasn't so. We ended up in what felt like an overflow field, still well manicured but quite open to the elements as we found out.

In general, I wouldn't say it was a particularly friendly welcome and I don't think we will be rushing back to this site (Malmesbury and the Smoking Dog quite possibly).

Reviewer: Yvonnefield 7 reviews from this member

 Lovely site. As mentioned before only 2 showers but I never had to queue, neither did my daughter. I would say that the shower / toilet block was heated, but not quite sufficient for my grandson (2 years) who's teeth chattered whilst having a strip wash in the sink.
We would recommend this site to anyone, and would return. Our tent is 7.2 x 2.4m so we had to pay a penalty for this, it worked out at £17.50 per night for us 2 and the tent, then we had to pay a further £1 for my daughter's car and £3 per night for her when she turned up. Grandson went free.
We visited Abbey House Gardens in Malmesbury, the naked gardeners! Absolutely fabulous, would recommend to any keen gardeners. Malmesbury Town is beautiful as is the walk across the field to get to it.

Reviewer: Qsbuilder 21 reviews from this member

 This site consists of a medium sized field, right on the edge of a delightful Cotswold town. There are no roadways through the field, so in wet weather 2-wheel drive vehicles may struggle, although I'm sure the owner would assist with his X3 rather than have his grass torn up and rutted. Yes, there are just two showers for each sex, but overall the facilities are very good.
Everything is kept immaculately clean and spotless. The chemical waste point isn't ideal as you have to balance your cassette on the raised concrete surround to wash it out, and the drinking water point has a short length of non-food grade hose which tends to split at the union with the tap and spray you with water. But these are only minor criticisms.

Malmesbury town centre with its Cotswold stone buildings is just 10 minutes walk away, and can be accessed by a footpath across a field by the River Avon. In town, don't miss the Summer Cafe which serves excellent coffee and good snacks like paninis and quiche salads. The Wild Food shop sells a huge variety of organic produce if you like cooking while on holiday. Otherwise the local pubs offer good meals.

This site is very well located and has pleasant owners, is peaceful and quiet, maintained well, and I can highly recommend it.

Reviewer: Beeton 27 reviews from this member

 Really great site.

Very good location for any West Yorkshire to Dorset drivers who need to stopover.

Good size site, easy to find, and friendly welcome for me and my border collie. Very reasonable too at £10.50 for a night with a hook up.

Dog walk adjacent to site is really great - by the river with dog swimming opportunities.

Toilet and shower block really clean and free hot water.

Generally nicely maintained and laid out.

Definitely recommend to others and will return in future

Reviewer: Danandjack 4 reviews from this member

 We stayed or 4 nights in this campsite. The campsite I very small and quiet, pitches level. The showers were spacious with a separate area for clothes and dressing. A short walk into small town which had everything. There was no dryer in the laundry area which was a major down side as the weather was bad and we were away from home for 2 weeks.

The only real down side was the dogs. I am not a dog lover but don't mind them if they are on the lead. However, a number of units had dogs that were off the lead.

The owners were lovely and met you with a guided tour and tips on different attractions in the area. The Swindon outlet Centre is a must for the bargain hunters.

Would return but would be more vocal about the dogs. I'm sure they were all gorgeous but only to their owners
