What customers say
Small, tidy site near a popular pub. Level pitches with EHU, great value food & friendly staff. Dog-friendly with nearby walks. Expect road/rail noise and basic, dated loos. Good for self-sufficient travellers or quick stopovers.

Liked 1st outing in a Motorhome, so nothing to compare it to, but what’s not to like about this site! Good pub, good walking & good facilities! Right next to the Swindon to Glos railway - so tops if you like trains!
Disliked Bit close to the A433 but you know that before booking!
No grey water waste point.

Powered gravel caravan site (small)
Liked Lovely clean, spacious well laid out little site behind a great pub.
Check in was easy and shown to pitch by friendly staff.
Pub had good choice of drinks, we didn’t eat, however the food looked very good.
No bus into Cirencester, on request of taxi details the landlady kindly offered to take us in as she was heading that way.
Disliked Only one shower for the 11 pitches, and no wash up facilities.
Train line near and trains run late and early if your a lite sleeper.

Would definitely return
Powered gravel caravan site (large)
Liked As a small site, it had all of the essential requirements for campers or caravaners. A lovely site with ample size pitches within the grounds of a fantastic Cotswolds pub.
Disliked Not that we used facilities, but the shower and toilet were in the same room. I guess for those that did not have these within their units. It could cause some anxiety during busy times.

Local to Cirencester and top notch food

Liked The food in the pub was fantastic
Disliked Noise from trains 🚂 planes ✈️ and automobiles 🚗 a bit accessive. Only one shower 🚿 and toilet 🚽 combined so can come a bit of a wait when you need to go 😳
