Rouselands Farm Camping

Positiv Lovely big area to set up in on a quiet country road. Very handy little shower/kitchenette block with two toilets, two showers, two fridges, a freezer, sink, microwave, and a washing machine. Used the spare plug sockets in there to charge phones. Love that they had recycling bins for all sorts of waste. Friend tried out the showers and said it was good. Great place to set up camp, handy distance from Cotswold's water park and Swindon.
Didn't get to see the hosts, communicated by text for check-in and check-out, but seemed friendly and helpful over messages.
The sky at night was gorgeous, you can see all the stars.
There is no wifi but our phones had a very surprising but welcome full 4G signal so not really needed.

Positiv Erm, views were nice.

Negativ Exceptionally rustic facilities. Shower door was a chipboard sheet with hinges. No staff contact. Just an open field and help yourself.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Many thanks for your review after your stay.
We are sorry not to see you as we try and have contact with every visitor to thank you for staying and supporting our farm, each booking is very much appreciated.
You are correct, we do not have set pitches as the camping field is large and we like people to pick where suits them. That said we are always happy to discuss and make a suggestion if asked.
I was in the house/reception all day on your arrival day but you did not come to the house or contact me to check in. I also went to the campsite also to see whether you had arrived but did not see you then either, I am sorry to have missed you.
The shower door is indeed part particle board and is visible in the listing photographs, the shower behind is warm and powerful and liked by many. I rather like the design, but I appreciate that tastes vary.
We hope that you enjoyed your stay in Wiltshire.
Best Wishes, Rouselands Farm

Positiv Nice and quiet. Clean facilities

Positiv Friendly hosts and the accommodation was clean. The site was peaceful and quiet. Nice views across farmland.

Negativ The general grounds were very run down. I understand it’s a working farm but there was junk everywhere and everything was over grown and generally tatty. Facilities were both male and female so no real privacy and the showers were a bit grotty.

Positiv We loved our stay at Rouselands Farm! The field was beautiful, great view of the sunset and sunrise. Plenty of room so even being the summer holidays there was still loads of space away from each other. Easy to check in. Toilets and showers perfectly adequate, I imagine could possibly do with some extras if it was very busy but was not a problem for us. Unfortunately due to the weather and government announcement regarding fires we couldn't use a fire pit but that's completely understandable and no fault of anyone! We will definitely be back.

Positiv Lovely hosts and farm owners who shown us how to feed the calves and told us a lot about cows and farming. Extraordinary sunsets, very spacious field for only 10 pitches so plenty of space for the campers. Very peaceful and quiet. Nice clean toilets and lovely hot showers, with fridge and kitchen area. The cows and sheeps are so adorable, great experience for kids. Exceptional value for money. Will definitely be back again very soon.

Negativ Nothing

Positiv The field is open and quiet, can choose to pitch where you would like to be (not fixed pitch). The farm is fun to wander around, and there is toilet, shower and kitchen facilities to use. Had a relaxing couple of nights here, would stay again.

Negativ No fire but thats on the government warning text not on rouse. There are fire pits to hire with logs, and also meats to buy from the farm, hoping next time the earth won't be so scorched.

Positiv We loved the space at this site, and the limited number of people at any one time. Coming back from a day out knowing we weren't going to be crowded out made for a relaxing holiday. The site was peaceful, no road noise and the cows in the field next door were pretty quiet, only occasionally mooing in daylight hours. We also liked having access to a fridge and freezer. The kitchen also had a kettle and microwave available for use if required. There were two showers and toilets but due to low occupancy limit we didn't encounter a queue. There was plenty of hot water too.
The location of this site is brilliant, we were able to get to all local attractions in around 15-30 minutes and there is a lot to see and do in the area. We'll definitely come back and do not hesitate to recommend Rouselands Farm. Communication was good and Ali was friendly and welcoming upon our arrival.

Negativ A small detail, just a personal annoyance really, the location of the drain for the shower meant the water runs across the whole shower room floor so there is nowhere dry to stand when getting dressed. If this bothers you, consider taking a small raised platform (decking square for example) to use. The facility block is quite a walk from the camping field so we took our own camping toilet. It would be good if there was somewhere to empty this easily, or a sign to confirm if it is ok to empty into the toilet.
