Briarfields Touring Park

Positiv Not a lot .. sorry!!

Negativ Pitches very tight.. we are new to touring this year .. this is the 8th site we’ve used and it the smallest pitch we’ve been on .. only one chemical disposal site.. for all the caravans and motor home .. I had to queue.. ( never done this before! ) .. toilet shower block closed a 11:00 to 1:00.. for cleaning.. I forgot and walked over the threshold and was shouted at by a lady.. not polite at all .. to use the disabled one .. ok but there was a chair holding the door of this open .. so it wasn’t very clear.. Ony 2 of the shower had a bench and partition.. these were in use .. so used the other ones .. just a flimsy shower curtain which was far from water resistant.. the water came underneath it .. making the whole area wet .. and a stool .. which was soaked by the previous person.. .. .. we booked 2 nights left after 1 .. not done this before..

Vom Platzbetreiber: Dear Caroline,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that your stay with us didn’t meet your expectations, and it’s disappointing to learn that you chose to leave early.

We always do our very best to ensure guests have a positive experience and are here at reception should any concerns arise during a stay so it’s a real shame we didn’t have the opportunity to speak with you in person and try to resolve things at the time.

All guests are provided with a park plan upon arrival, where all amenities and facilities including our two fully equipped service areas are clearly marked. We're sorry if this wasn’t as clear to you at the time, as we always aim to help guests feel informed and settled from the start.

With regard to the washroom cleaning schedule. I understand that you entered the building during the cleaning period, past the clearly displayed closed signs, and encountered one of our team members mid-clean. That team member was Joy, who many of our guests know and frequently praise for her warmth, helpfulness, and genuinely friendly nature. I can say with absolute confidence that Joy would never intentionally raise her voice or speak to a guest in a rude manner - it’s simply not in her character. She will be very upset to read your comments, as she takes great pride in making everyone feel welcome and cared for during their stay.

Our team consistently receives praise for their friendliness and approachability, and I know they’ll be very upset to read your comments, as they work incredibly hard to make every guest feel welcome and looked after.

We wish you all the best on your future touring adventures.

Warm Regards,
Jo and The Briarfields Team

Positiv Staff were lovely and friendly. Site was well kept. Facilities were fab, clean and modern. Pitch was level and electric hook up was easy to access. Site was in a great location to explore the surrounding area.

Negativ Road noise but once you zoned it out it wasn’t a bother.

Positiv Really enjoyed our stay in the glamping pod. It had everything we needed such as plates, cutlery, a fridge, plug sockets, a bed and a little table. Simple but had all the essentials.

The site was quiet and well-kept, and the toilets were honestly much cleaner than I expected. Everything felt tidy and looked after.

Great little break overall. Would definitely come back.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're absolutely thrilled to hear you both enjoyed your stay in the glamping pod and that it had everything you needed for a comfortable break.

It's great to know you appreciated the peaceful setting and clean facilities, we really do try to keep everything well looked after, so it’s lovely to hear that came across.

We’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime for another relaxing getaway.

Thanks again for choosing to stay with us!

Positiv Excellent. The staff were very welcoming. Great showers, plenty of hot water. The toilet/shower block was kept very clean and tidy. J liked the music playing in the shower block. Easy access to Gloucester and Cheltenham. The pitches were level and a good size with beech hedging in between. Excellent wi-fi. Excellent information before arrival and on the day. Probably one of the best run sites we have been to. I only scored it 9 because the A40 was adjacent to the site, which made it very easy to access but noisy at night. This was helped by wearing ear-plugs at night. ASDA and a pub within walking distance (10 minutes away)

Positiv Great access to road network, Michael was fantastic on reception and allowed us access early which helped no end 😃. The Buttercup pod we stayed in was compact very clean and bed very comfortable. Using shared washing facilities is always a small concern BUT the facilities at Briarfield were fantastic and a pleasure to use. There was also an added bonus for the dogs and that was Dorothy’s field which was a totally enclosed field for walking the dogs. We look forward to seeing you next year and hopefully I can meet Dorothy & Simon on our return.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay in the Buttercup and found it clean, comfortable, and well located. Michael will be absolutely delighted to hear your kind words.

It’s great to know the shared facilities exceeded your expectations and that Dorothy’s Field was a hit with the dogs it’s always lovely when our four-legged guests enjoy their stay too!

We’re really looking forward to welcoming you all back next year, and we very much hope you’ll get to meet Dorothy and Billy on your return.

Positiv First time staying at this site and it was easy access from the M5, which was perfect for us.
Easy check in and was allocated our pitch and was pitched on a service pitch near to the toilet blocks.
The site is very well kept, the signage around the site was good, and even the map given to us had all the information we needed and was very useful.
ASDA was a 15 minute walk away, which we did use as having a motorhome its not as easy jumping in a car.
Only stayed for two nights, so can't comment on the bus services etc but we would use if we had more time.
People mentioned about road noise, but to us it didn't bother us, but you do get the planes flying over as you are near the airfield, again not a problem for us.
Overall the site is perfect, clean and tidy and well managed, and we will be using this site again as its in a top 5 of the best ones we have stayed at.

Positiv Efficient and welcoming reception from the team on site. Loads of info for visitors.

The system for our entry and exit was also very efficient (inc ANPR)

Well kept grounds. Nice sized pitches with services. The shower button needs frequent pressing, but there's plenty of warm water from these clean effective showers, in ample sized 'cubicles'.

In fact, everything about the site was clean and tidy.

Dog friendly, the site has a dedicated dog walking area (perfect spot to watch the sun set).

WiFi speed was better than at home.

Accessible: frequent bus service(s) right outside the campsite.

Whilst we didn’t take bikes, the area has a very good cycling network.

Negativ I don't like shower curtains. But they, too, were clean.

The site is off a busy road. (Can't be helped, and means buses are frequent/easily accessible. But worth noting)

Vom Platzbetreiber: Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review!

We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and appreciated the warm welcome from our team, the clean and well-kept facilities, and the convenient location. It's great to know the ANPR entry system and on-site information were helpful, and that the WiFi even outpaced your home connection, always a bonus!

We’re especially pleased that our dog walking area was a hit (it’s one of our favourite sunset spots too), and that you found the site accessible with good public transport links.

We appreciate your feedback about the showers and the curtains and we’ll certainly take that on board as we continue to improve the guest experience.

We hope to welcome you back again soon!
