What customers say
This is a compact, friendly campsite praised for its excellent Indian food at the on-site pub. Pitches are generally well-sized and the location is ideal for walking the Malvern Hills. Facilities are basic but functional, with 24-hour access to toilets and showers, though some guests noted a need for updating and better maintenance. Staff are consistently described as welcoming and helpful. The site is noted for being quiet and good value for short stays, though some found it expensive for longer visits.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Would recommend if you want a quiet simple site in a great location.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We stayed Sunday to Tuesday and had the whole site to ourselves. Dinner at the Marlbank pub on Sunday evening was great and Monday we cooked for ourselves. No one around so no queue for shower and a peaceful night's sleep.
We were able to leave our car next to our tent and no one came round to check that we left by 11am, which is all in the rules, but perhaps more chilled when the site is busy.
We were within walking distance of the Malvern Hills, the perfect location for a couple of relaxing days.
WiFi is available at the pub and on the seats just outside but doesn't stretch into the campsite.
Disliked We weren't told much when we arrived, like where the washing area was, and for a brief moment I thought something had gone wrong with the booking as the person checking us in didn't seem to be expecting us.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Nothing at all we wouldn’t return to this site
Disliked Grounds unkept had to ask for sweeping brush to get rid of all the debris off the hard standing pitch building materials all up one corner looks like hadn’t been there ages
No one came round to welcome you
Facilities were filthy one of the worse places we have stayed thick of hair and grime all round the edge in toilets and shower
Only one toilet in the lady’s other one out of use they never Meade any attempt to clean the area all the time we was there to be honest looks like hadn’t been cleaned for months
On the Saturday night we eat at the pub on site the food made me bad the fish wasn’t cooked enough we left most of the food

Liked The food in the restaurant was amazing
Disliked The trees were over hanging very low, including on the lane in, they urgently needed cutting back. The gardeners were there, and I asked them, but they did not have the tools to trim that day. My partner pulled the bigger ones back while I drove through.

Quiet location…

Liked Quiet location
Disliked Faulty electric hook up so couldn't charge up before we went to off grid show.
We didn't see the owner or manager and was told by fellow campers just to pick a pitch.
Grounds were unkempt.

Liked Nothing
Disliked Well what can I say about The Marlbank campsite - nothing good I’m afraid. Grass needed cutting, overhanging bushes over roadway prevented access to 5 hard standing pitches, our EHU was not working fortunately we had long lead with us so we were able to use a pitch that wasn’t affected by bushes and branches , only one shower working, lack of cleaning in shower, wash-up area & toilets, which was also used by pub/restaurant customers. EHU connections on the ground on some pitches . Didn’t see anyone to book in with as pub was closed. No email received day before giving us pitch number, directions, info etc as stated on the pitch up confirmation and didn’t see anyone from management for the 2 days we were there. I also emailed them twice which never got a reply & no answer to the phones . The whole site was shabby, unkept & expensive certainly wouldn’t recommend and we would not return .

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Pub food was really good and staff were very friendly.
Disliked The actual camp site doesn’t seem to be looked after, only one toilet working out of two, and only hot water in sinks as the cold wasn’t working, also only one shower so have to time it right to use it.
