One of our favourite sites in the Midlands. Lovely clean showers open all the time day or night and very friendly staff available to help at all times. With a pub five minutes walk away and another 1 mile down the main road you will never be short of a lovely meal and on a Friday night a local fish and chip van visits, just listen out for the bell. There is also a rally field which we like to use but the main site is serviced hard standing and not at an unaffordable price. An enclosed dog area is on site so you can let them off the lead for a good run around and a play area for the kids to keep them entertained. Can't wait till May when we return for another relaxing time.
Lovely site, very welcoming helpful owner. Gave information on local services as had puncture and told us where to go for a good deal. Very clean showers, toilets and laundry room. Very well priced for electric hook up pitch. Dog walking area was very handy as we had our dog with us. Close to pretty village with good local pub which welcomed us and our dog. Had a lovely stay. Would visit again when in the area.
Just spent four nights on this lovely little site. It was our first trip with our Caravan so not far from home, a chance for us to get used to the technical things.
There is one facilities block housing toilets (3 or 4 ladies and 2 mens + urinals) and 2 shared showers (fine but no curtain so care needed with keeping towel and clothes dry!) This building also houses 3 washing up sinks and a laundry room (50p's needed)Outside this building is located the waste water disposal, fresh water tap (think there were others around the site too)and bins.
The children's play area was quite dated and in places broken so we took a lovely stroll most days through the village of Great Bourton and tucked away on the left almost opposite the turning for Little Bourton is a fab park where our 6 and 9 yr olds spent ages playing.
We also walked to Cropredy (handy path along the side of the road) and wandered along the canal, there are 2 pubs here and a shop by the canal bridge. We didn't sample food at either of the pubs or the ones in Great or Little Bourton but they all served it I believe.
The site and owners were quite relaxed, we paid on day 3 (very reasonably priced too, cheapest I've seen) There appeared to be a lot of caravans sited here permanently and some were residential, this caused us no problems although you could hear vehicles leaving fairly early in the morning. There was also distant noise from the main road which runs along the end of the site, couldn't really hear it in the caravan though.
The main site didn't have much open space (there is a rally field too which was quite jammed with a rally when we got there) the pitches are fine and mostly hardstanding but it generally feels a little cramped.
We ventured to Banbury for swimming, shopping and bowling, there is also a big Tesco and retail park as you enter Banbury.
All in all a lovely site which we will probably return to for quick weekends away as it's so close to home.
Just come back from a 3-night bank holiday break and what can I say. You will be hard pushed to find a better site at £12 per night.
The site itself is a little cramped, but for little money you do get a nice warm friendly welcome, level hard standing pitches, spotlessly clean toilets, shower and washroom.
The site has a dog walking area and a child’s play area but as I did not need to use these I cannot say what they were like.
The site itself is located just 3 miles from the centre of Banbury and a 15-minute walk to the pretty little village of Cropredy where there are two pubs and a shop. The Bell Inn is located a few hundred yards down the road from the site, which is a nice little English style country pub with great food.
Overall, a lovely site in a great area, very reasonable fees and I am already looking forward to my next visit.
Love this site. We have been using this site for the last three years. The price never seems to change and is exceptionally reasonable. The dog walk is brilliant, it is fenced off so your dog can run free off it's lead.
The toilets and showers are always spotlessly clean. The only extra that would be nice is a shower curtain in the unisex showers. Although there is enough room to move it's almost impossible to keep your clothes far enough away from the spray of the shower to stop them getting wet.
The Bell Public House across the road is very good and provides excellent food. The only drawback though is that you cannot eat in the bar only the restaurant. Dogs are not allowed in the restaurant only the bar. This makes eating and taking the dog with you at the same time impossible.
The Brasenose Arms in Cropredy is dog friendly even when serving food. There is now a footpath all the way from Great Bourton to Cropredy.
If you don't mind walking it is a lovely walk along the canal (about three miles) into Banbury. It's a good day out in nice weather.
Great site, great facilities, ideal area for walking and the nearby pubs aren't bad either.
A serene oasis nestled in the beautiful countryside at the base of the Chiltern Hills, just a stone`s throw from the charming Henley-on-Thames. Modern facility blocks, on-site cafe, Wi-Fi, laundry, dishwashing, and children`s play areas. Fully serviced pitches for tents, caravans, or motorhomes. Motorhome service point, chemical toilet emptying machine and dog wash! Enhance your stay with a refreshing dip in the outdoor pool or while away your days at the superbly stocked Fishing Lake.

Reception: Very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Newspapers are not available, nearest shop is 1 mile away in Cropredy.
Pitch: £12. 00 per night for medium sized hard-standing pitch with TV hook up and water. Site felt a little cramped. There was a rally on in the front field.
Facilities: Only 3 showers, no curtains or anywhere to put your soap. Only two toilets for the men and I think two for the ladies. Showers are very clean, but basic compared to Caravan Club facilities. There was little road noise, but I think those in the rally who were nearer to the main road may have suffered.
Dog walk: We walked the dog on the path through the village of Great Bourton which is quite picturesque. Lovely old church and houses.
Pubs: Nearest pub is The Bell, 5 minutes walk. Old style pub with a warm welcome, 3 real ales, all Hook Norton. Staff are very friendly, food is available. Only opens 12. 00 – 3. 00 & 6. 00pm onwards.
Local Transport: There is a bus stop outside and opposite the pub, but this service may stop running at the end of November 2011, one to watch out for. Cannot understand why, we caught the bus into Banbury and it was full. Banbury now has a new shopping centre, it will take you a day to go round it and the old town. It has changed a lot since we last went, and for the better.
Play Area: There is no play area.
All in all a nice site, open all year. Personally I would prefer more showers and some with curtains but and we have been spoilt by The Caravan Club so may be a little biased. This is a very popular site and it is clear to see why, everyone we spoke to had visited more than once and kept returning.
I love this site. It is a little small on pitch sizes some are even fully serviced pitches but it's a beautiful area. Site warden lovely. Site owner very friendly.
The showers and toilets are always spotless there's 3 maybe 4 unisex showers, 3 ladies toilets one having its own basin. Even when there's a rally on which is most weekends there is never a queue for the showers and I've been to this site quiet a few times now. There's a bucket and mop you have to mop out after your shower like the cc sites I like this. Pump hand soap nice touch in toilets.
Laundry area and washing up area. Toilet emptying point ok. Don't let the rally's put you off because there no problem. Tescos 2 miles away, morrisons about 3 miles away. If you turn left out of site, left at top onto main road keep going to the first island you come to turn right own there's Chinese, chip shop, newsagents, subway?, indian?.
As for the play area there is one it's hidden away with huge bushes and trees around it. There's a gap in the trees where you go in and out. So I suppose it could have easily Have not been seen unless its gone.
There's a climbing frame, swings slides and a big sand pit and other stuff. There's also 2 picnic benches for parents to supervise there children. The dog walk is small but it's enclosed so good for taking a ball. I like this site and area I always go back. It's not the same as cc standards but it's not far behind and it's a lot cheaper than cc sites.
It's £12 standard pitch inc elec and 2 adults per night, £14 fully serviced pitch inc 2 adults and elec, £1. 00 porch awning per night, £1. 50 full awning per night, £1. 00 kids 5-11 per night, £1. 50 for 12 and over inc adults per night. These prices have stayed the same for the last 3 years. Happy caravanning.
Just returned from four day bank holiday break at this site. We thought it was brilliant. The owner of the site greeted us with a cheery smile and guided us to our pitch. The facilities and the site were in pristine condition and spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water at all times. There was also dishwashing and laundry facilities and a well stocked information area. Our two year old really enjoyed the well kept play area.
There is a pub just down the road and also a couple in cropredy 2 miles away which were all good and also the local shop.
All in all, a wonderful site in a great setting and very reasonable prices considering it was bank holiday.
Just returned from a long weekend at Barnstones. The site is lovely, with a very welcoming atmosphere. Everywhere is spotlessly clean and well-maintained. The shower/toilet blocks are great with plenty of hot water. There is also a laundry room and washing up facilities. Our 6 year old loved the park area and field and spent many hours with new found friends. There is a little bit of traffic noise as it is next to a busy main road and the M40 is a mile or so down the road, but we soon got used to it and hardly noticed it - it certainly didn't keep us awake at night.
The village of Great Bourton and the next village of Croperdy are beautiful and well worth a look around. It is a nice 15 min walk to Croperdy where the nearest shop is situated. We had a lovely meal and a warm welcome at The Bell in Gt. Bourton. We caught the bus from Gt Bourton into Banbury which is about a 10 minute journey away. We thought Banbury was a great town, with plenty of old historical buildings, the canalside where you can see barges navigate the locks and lovely shopping! There is also a leisure centre and 10 pin bowling.
All in all we felt the site and the surrounding area made a perfect break. We will certainly return again soon.
What a fantastic little site. We choose this site as it was near to home and we wanted to try out our new caravan. The toilet and shower blocks looked new (3 unisex, fully enclosed showers, 4 ladies toilets and 4 sinks, 2 gents toilets and 2 urinals and 4 sinks) and were immaculately clean all the time. Again a very clean fully enclosed dish washing area and laundry room.
The owner was so helpful, even offering to help us site our new caravan (was the first time we had used it having previously been tenters), in the pouring rain. He frequently walked the site checking everyone was ok, but wasn't intrusive.
There is a small fully enclosed dog exercise area.
The children's play area was well kept and thoroughly enjoyed by our eight year old. Not much there for older children through.
It's a short walk to the nearest pub. Be warned though there is not much of a path and cars do seem to go very fast down the lane! Make sure you take a torch at night.
The only downside is the road noise that did keep me awake the first night but I am a very light sleeper, certainly my daughter and husband weren't particularly bothered by it.
Would I visit again - definitely. Would I recommend it to others - absolutely.
