From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, Sarah.

We're pleased to hear you appreciated our location and the excellent bus service to both Cheltenham and Gloucester, although we're sorry that you found the background noise particularly noticeable during your one-night stay.

We do feel it's important to clarify for anyone considering a stay with us that we're very open about our location. Briarfields is situated between Cheltenham and Gloucester, close to the main road network and Gloucestershire Airport, and this is clearly described throughout our park information and booking descriptions. We also specifically advise guests that some traffic and light aircraft noise can be heard at times.

We provide this information before booking precisely because we want prospective guests to understand our setting and decide whether it's right for them. We're not a remote rural campsite; one of Briarfields' biggest advantages is its incredibly convenient location, with Cheltenham, Gloucester, the Cotswolds, the M5, cycle routes and regular public transport all exceptionally easy to access.

We completely appreciate that sensitivity to background noise varies enormously. Many of our guests tell us they barely notice it, while others are naturally more sensitive to it, and we fully respect that.

We wish you well in your future travels.

Best Wishes,
Jo and the Briarfields Team

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review, Charlotte.

We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and found our team friendly, polite and helpful. It's also lovely to know you appreciated the size and privacy of the pitches, our clean facilities and lovely hot showers.

We're especially pleased you made good use of the regular bus service just outside the park. Our convenient location makes exploring Cheltenham and Gloucester incredibly easy without needing to drive.

Thank you also for your fair comments regarding the road noise. Being so conveniently located between Cheltenham and Gloucester, close to the M5 and major transport links, does inevitably mean some background traffic can be heard, and we appreciate that everyone has a different sensitivity to noise.

Thank you for your balanced feedback, Charlotte. We look forward to welcoming you back!

Liked Brilliant facilities for what we wanted….an overnight stay… elec, water, free WiFi, water waste all by caravan. 5 mins from M5. Spotlessly clean. Def return. We are caravan newbies - very very helpful.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your fantastic review, Karen.

We're delighted to hear Briarfields had everything you needed for your overnight stay and that you found your fully serviced pitch so convenient, with electric, water and waste all close at hand.

It's also wonderful to hear you found everything spotlessly clean, but we're especially pleased that our team could help you as caravan newbies! We all remember there can be quite a lot to get your head around when you first start caravanning, so we're always more than happy to lend a hand, answer questions or help with those little things that suddenly don't quite go to plan.

Being just a few minutes from the M5 makes us ideal for an overnight stop, although hopefully we'll tempt you to stay a little longer one day and explore Cheltenham, Gloucester and the Cotswolds too!

We look forward to welcoming you back to Briarfields and wish you lots of happy adventures with your caravan!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your fantastic review.

We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and found Briarfields so clean, tidy and easy to find. Being just a few minutes from the M5 certainly makes us a convenient stopover, as well as a great base for staying a little longer and exploring Cheltenham, Gloucester and the Cotswolds.

We're especially pleased there was nothing at all to dislike and, best of all, that you'll definitely use the site again that's the biggest compliment we could ask for.

Liked Pitches nicely spaced. Facilities lovely and clean and in excellent order. Friendly greeting on arrival, friendly staff throughout our stay. It's also in a great location, with easy access to both Cheltenham and Gloucester. Shops and eateries also close by, what more could you want?

Disliked A pet hate of mine is push button showers, they are so annoying, I can never understand why they exist. I also find them difficult to operate.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely and thoughtful review, Tim.

We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay on The Beeches and appreciated the spacious pitches, our clean and well-maintained facilities and, most importantly, the friendly welcome and service from our team throughout your stay.

It's also great to know our location worked so well for you, with Cheltenham and Gloucester both within easy reach and plenty of shops and places to eat nearby.

We completely appreciate your comments about the push-button showers, we know they're one of those things people tend to either not mind at all or have firmly on their list of pet hates! We're sorry you found them particularly difficult to operate, and we'll certainly keep your feedback in mind as we continue to upgrade and improve our facilities.

Your private comments genuinely meant a great deal to us. We put an enormous amount of care into Briarfields, so it's wonderful when a guest notices that and takes the time to say so.

Thank you again for your recommendation and for choosing to stay with us. We're delighted you had such a lovely visit and hope to welcome you back to Briarfields again in the future.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review.

We're delighted to hear you had a pleasant stay with us, enjoyed our clean facilities and, most importantly, would choose to stay at Briarfields again.

We're sorry you had difficulty getting completely level on pitch 11, even with your levelling blocks. Thank you for mentioning the specific pitch number, that's really helpful, and we'll take a look at it as part of our ongoing pitch maintenance.

If you visit us again, please do let us know your preference for a particularly level pitch when booking and, subject to availability, we'll always do our best to accommodate you.

Thank you again for your recommendation. We hope your next visit might be for a little longer than one night, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Briarfields.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review, Rose.

We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and particularly appreciated our shower facilities, fully serviced pitch and the privacy provided by the hedges.

It's also wonderful to know our location worked well for you and that you found the team friendly and welcoming. We really appreciate your fair comment regarding the nearby roundabout too, our location gives guests fantastic access to Cheltenham, Gloucester, the M5 and local public transport, although inevitably that convenience can mean the surrounding roads are busy at certain times of day.

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and look forward to welcoming you back to Briarfields in the future.

Liked Ideally situated clean and tidy site close to both Cheltenham and Gloucester. Supermarket and shops within 10 min walk . Bus stop opposite. Information provided on location and local area must do,s .

Disliked Pitch had quite a slope difficult to get caravan level which also made the steps difficult to get level and safe.

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review, Paul.

We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and found Briarfields clean, tidy and so conveniently located for exploring both Cheltenham and Gloucester. It's also great to know you found the local information we provide useful, we put a lot of thought into helping guests make the most of their time in the area.

We're sorry, however, that you found your particular pitch difficult to level on. Although the majority of our pitches are relatively level, there are a few where levelling blocks may be needed depending on the length and setup of the unit. We completely appreciate your point regarding the caravan steps too, as being able to position these safely is important.

If you're ever having difficulty getting comfortably level, please do come and have a chat with us at reception. Where availability allows, we'll always do our best to help or look at alternative options.

We're really pleased that despite this you would recommend Briarfields and visit us again. Thank you for your helpful feedback, Paul, and we hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future.
