Reviewer: Geoff66 8 reviews from this member

 Lovely welcome upon arrival from the wardens

Well stocked information cabin plenty of leaflets of where to go and what to see

Also cabin with freezers stocked with all your barbeque meats eggs etc, tried sausages must say were outstanding and you just paid into an honesty box.

Pitches were a very generous size but we did have problems getting standard pegs into ground on self draining pitch

Facilities were spotless, only stayed 2 nights but if diddnt have to get back for work would have stayed longer so would definitely return.

Bourton on water nearest town is a beautiful pituresque place lots to see and do will have to return 2 nights not enough never slept so well

A real gem of a site

 A lovely well kept site in walking distance to Bourton on the Water. The wardens were very friendly and helpful. Very peaceful with excellent facilities.

We enjoyed watching the birds and the stoat playing in the long grass.

The pitches are large and on grass but we had no problems with the ground after the recent wet weather.

 One of the best campsites that we have visited over the years. Really quiet with your own semi private area.

There's plenty of water taps on site. The electric hook up could have been closer but there was ample extensions in the shop to borrow(FOC).

The steaks, sausage & Beefburgers are to die for. This is an ideal location for touring/visiting the quaint towns & villages of the Cotswolds.

The shower block was kept really clean & tidy. Really close to Bourton on the Water as you could walk there in about 25 minutes, though there is a small hill to climb on the way back.

Great to see that you are not being ripped off by them as Wifi is FREE.

 This site is a great find with beautiful sun sets to boot!

Thank you to Bleddyn and Chris and Colin the cat for the friendliest of welcomes! From booking the pitches and ensuring that two parties were adjacent to each other, making booking an additional person seamless through to advice and information given during the stay, this team were great.

The site is very well laid out to provide privacy yet spacious pitches. (I'm sure more income could have been generated by removing the butterfly attracting foliage. Thank goodness this isn't the primary objective. ) EHU and water is never very far away. If an extension lead is required, this is provided with a deposit.

The facilities are spotless. 3 showers, 3 toilets and 2 sinks (women's) was never an issue however there was an issue with pressure when the 'kitchen' sinks are in use. I believe this is something that is in hand for a It was great to have the use of refrigeration. A microwave was also supplied and clothes washing and drying is available for a small fee. The information hut is a nice touch as is the shop with soft drinks, meats and eggs, however we felt that this was very pricey.

Location was fantastic. 20 mins or so down to Bourton on the Water and slightly longer back again due to a steep hill which isn't suitable for everyone.

As we were staying for the bank holiday weekend, leaving Monday evening, it was also much appreciated that, after packing up, we could leave two fully-laden cars on site until we were ready to return.

This site has been saved as a favourite and we hope to return!

Reviewer: Balddove 1 review from this member

 Terrible access road patched repaired very poor. Wardens absolutely fantastic. Really helpful and friendly service. Very large pitches. All grass but drained well. Electric points are not enough. Owner should perhaps consider electric and water on caravan pitches.

Toilet and shower block kept spotlessly clean but dated. Very much into recycling. Nowhere for rubbish that could not be recycled. Items for sale eggs etc. But expensive. Generally site quiet but road noise from A road a couple of fields away droned through the night. My general feeling site needs to move with the times.

For £28 per night more is expected. Access road for one. Surprised that site was only about 1/3 full in mid summer. I would not return unless road and facilities are updated.

Choose this site because it was August and wanted adult only. Sorry but I could only rate average.

 What a lovely site each pitch is secluded not overlooked by other campers. Just a short distance from Bourton on the Water.

The toilets and showers are spotless, there is somewhere to wash your dishes, available for a small price there is a washing machine and dryer and also a microwave.

There is also a fridge freezer and another small fridge. You can also buy fresh eggs, homemade burgers, sausages and steak.

The wardens are very helpful and live on site. We will definitely be back

Reviewer: DougieA 13 reviews from this member

 This site could be heaven for certain people who 'vont to be alone' with no young ones allowed and the dark sky at night, but there are some drawbacks in my opinion.

Access is up a gravel road which, apparently, has been recently improved but is still a bit of a boneshaker.

The site is a rectangular field surrounded by hedging, trees and farming land. Pitches are very large and screened but some are not very level. There is only 1 toilet block and if you are told to pitch at the opposite corner (as we were) ( Pitch 18), it's a fair run in the morning (!) and a long haul with grey waste, toilet cassette and rubbish.

There is also no rubbish as such as everything has to be separated near the toilet block for recycling. The town Bourton (with shops, pubs, restaurants and buses etc ) is about 1 1/2 miles away by road or path but be warned that it is very steep on the way back and would not be suitable for a lot of people.

We are walkers but it was not a welcome stroll after a meal and a few pints, more like head down and go for it ! A major draw back is the toilet block which is kept very clean ( just like the whole site really) but only has 2 gents wc and 3 wc in the Ladies.

It's just not enough at peak times and the site was not full while we were there. Bourton is very nice but extremely popular and was full of tourists of many Nations at the weekend, so it can be a struggle to get a seat in the Beer Gardens in the sunshine.

There are decent walks around the town to other quieter, rural Cotswold villages.

Reviewer: Teadrinker82 1 review from this member

 We would thoroughly recommend this site. We did an overnight weekend stay in a T5 with awning.

The pitches are very private, they have electric if you need it, clean toilet/shower block with hot water, good recycling facilities.

Very friendly and accommodating hosts who gave us a good run down of everything when we got there and let us check in early [by pre-arrangement], which really helped us to maximise our short break.

Perfectly situated to explore the area too - only a short walk down into Bourton-on-the-water which occupied the afternoon. Longer walks are easily accessible - which we'd look at doing when we come back [for a longer stay!].

Personally - we loved the over 30's thing as well as it was inevitably very quiet. Far too many parents abandon their kids on campsites - letting them get up to allsorts - so its not often we get a trip quite as relaxing as this one.

Being in the middle of nowhere, its a bit dark at night-time is all I'd say - they could do with a few solar lights scattered over the site to assist the 'midnight-wee'ers.

9/10. 


Date of Visit: May 2017 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Novicecampers 2 reviews from this member

 Overall we enjoyed staying on this site, it was well laid out with plenty of privacy between the pitches provided by the copious vegetation. It was also quiet but easily accessible with a touring van and we loved the walk into Bourton (about an hour if you're taking it at a comfortable pace)

It would be nice if there was a map to show the local walks however.

On the down side, we felt the families weren't adequate - it was bank holiday so fairly busy, but only two toilet cubicles for the men and three for the women weren't enough and a couple of times we had to queue. Also, no means of drying your hands was rather irritating and unnecessary.

A couple of reviewers have commented on the value for money - well we paid £30 per night which I thought was plenty. I really object to having to pay £2 per night for a dog which after all we accommodated ourselves and didn't need to be cleaned up after. I also thought that £4 per day for electricity was too much - most campsites include it in the tariff and being charged another tenner if you want to leave a couple of hours late was also irksome. I know this is a business but it really felt they were on to every technique for screwing a bit more money out of us.

 Just back after an Easter break - loved it.

If you want 'peaceful' this is for you, love our grandchildren but this such a quiet adult only site.

The wardens were cheerful and helpful. Free wifi from the information hut - good 4G throughout the rest of the site. Toilet block clean and tidy and loads of hot water and a nice little laundry/dish wash area. The site has its own dog walk, though you are surrounded by public right of ways.

The owners have listened to feedback and repaired the approach track recently.

20-30 mins walk away is the VERY picturesque village of Bourton on the water with lots of gift shops and places to eat.

Will DEFINITELY be back :)

Reviewer: Garandjaninvan 1 review from this member

 This was our second visit (we stayed not long after it first opened). Nice big pitches and mostly quiet and peaceful - but why are some dog owners so inconsiderate by allowing their pets to bark, yap and whine all the time?

Toilet block was clean, but a bit basic. Our one main gripe is the access to the site from the road - it is in a very bad state, with huge bumps and potholes.

We never saw the warden/owners - no-one in reception when we got there at 2. 30pm, only a sheet pinned on a board telling us which pitch we were on. Didn't meet Colin the cat either!

We would use site again when visiting the Cotswolds as it is I a good location and at £17 per night it is good value.

Reviewer: Waggyfromderby 39 reviews from this member

 Fantastic site, fantastic people, nowt to complain about. They sell bbq food on site, steaks, burgers etc.

However I can complain about Bourton on the Water. I hate it. NO Butchers, No veg shop. IN the town there is a shop (Londis I think), but poor, expensive selection of meat and veg. The Coop is a bit better, but not much and is a bit out of town if like me you are on shank's pony. ( ie walking). Not a dog friendly town or even area. Thankfully we had carried our own lunch and bough a take away coffee. We had walked 6 miles to get to Bourton (thankftully only 1 and a bit to get back), and literally it was standing room only on the town. Never again in high season. Quieter on our veneing vist (needed a pint or two). Nearly 8 quid for two pints, expensive pub food, not value for money.

Reviewer: Gandg 9 reviews from this member

 Good site. We were camping toward the top of the site and when we were there it was very windy. I would recommend the lower numbered pitches, with hedge sheltering and near loos.

Colin the cat who is in charge is very friendly. The wardens are too!

Although only 3 showers and 2 loos in ladies and gents, had no problem and they were kept clean.

Good landscaping with amazing elephant grass.

Incredible stargazing because no ambient light at all, take torches!

Yes the EHU can be quite far but the wardens will supply extension leads so no problem. (£10 returnable deposit).

It is walkable to Bourton, either by a quiet lane or footpath. Steep coming back though and need a torch at night! Takes about 25 mins there, 30 back!

Bourton must be on the Japanese tourist route, 100s of them snapping everything, but go 10 feet off the main drag and it's quiet. Loads to see in Bourton and easy signposted walks to the Slaughters.

Easy access by car to surrounding towns and villages.

Effectively adult only, nice and peaceful.

Take plenty of tent pegs, it is very stoney under topsoil.

Reviewer: Cczmark 5 reviews from this member

 Nicely laid out site with large separated pitches. Big downer for us was road noise from nearby A road - possibly better if you are on a pitch lower down the site with hedges. Dated facilities.

Expensive for what you get. Potholed gravel access road, apparently improved since our visit. A bit far to walk to Bourton. No staff on site this being their last week open of the season.

Stayed 1 night having prepaid for 2, would not go back.

Reviewer: DottieClare 4 reviews from this member

 Just back from a fab week at Field Barn. All pitches are large, on some you may need an extra electric lead as some are quite a distance from the power supply. We were on a bit of a slope and needed levelling blocks. Pitches are separated by grasses and shrubs which is really nice. Facilities were fine, recycling is easy enough with clear signs of what goes in what container. Plenty of dog bins around the site too. Wardens friendly and helpful.

Easy half hour walk into Bourton on Water - beautiful village, lots of families sitting having picnics on the grass next to the river. There was even a duck race on the river which was doing a roaring trade for charity.

Ok so now for the Dog Friendly bit:

The Kingsbridge, The Old Manse & The Duke of Wellington are all dog friendly. The first two it would be far too easy to sit and people watch all day with a glass of wine or two. There is also pub called the Mousetrap which we sat outside but never asked if you could take dogs in. Have you noticed a pattern yet :)

There are quite a few cafes and teashops that are dog friendly too but I cant remember there names.

The Motor Museum is also dog friendly and is a must. Not just cars in there but bikes, caravans, old signs, toys and clothing from the era of the vehicles on show too. It's fab. Birdland just on the outskirts of the village is also worth a look and once again dog friendly.

We wanted to go around the Model Village but this wasn't dog friendly - boo! Don't know why as it was outdoors.

We went on the Steam Train at Cheltenham to Toddington - lovely journey and dog friendly.

There are lots of lovely villages in the area which we wandered round. We went to Upper Slaughter (definitely worth a look) but beware if you are looking for somewhere to eat - the only pub, all be it dog friendly, was expensive £15. 50 for fish, chips and mushy peas!

One night as we took the dog out for her bedtime wee wee we noticed the sky had cleared so we sat out and within minutes we had seen 3 shooting stars and a satellite - as you aren't near any street light the sky was amazing - hubby wished he had brought his binoculars.

We would definitely go back to this site
