The Marlbank Inn

Liked The friendly staff, a natural site with trees. No restrictions on times coming and going.

Disliked No one overlooking campers, awful couple of families disrupting the whole campsite late at night and 4.30 Am . Breaking tress smashing planters, fences etc to burn .
Only 1 shower needs a shower curtain as clothes get wet. Limited food choice for non spicy eaters. Next to noisy road.

Liked Nothing

Disliked By a road - pitch was an extension to car park with road cones and a pile of garden waste one side. Access to the facilities was through the pub car park by the road and some of the facilities were not operating due t technical issues. Waited 10 mins and had to find someone at check in who turned out to be a young girl with feet up on a settee in the bar area. Electrics on site did not look like they were serviced either….

Liked The location and the proximity to the pub.

Disliked The absolutely filthy toilets that weren't cleaned at all during from Friday to Sunday, only two showers and one of those out of order.

Liked Small compact campsite, excellent showers

Liked The pub was excellent, it had no connection with the campsite.

Disliked It was an unkempt site, facilities poor, no staff to speak to. I booked a 5 night stay, 2 weeks before we were due to go attempted to cancel 2 nights s somthing cropped up,emailed x 2 no reply We were due to stay 3 nights only stayed one as site was so poor. I also emailed when we got back home still no reply.Very disappointing as we had not visited the area before and was looking forward to it.

Liked Friendly and chilled atmosphere, dogs allowed inside pub which is bonus , all the staff very welcoming. Basic facilities but adequate. Met some great people and would definitely stay here again

Liked Great location (can access the hills without driving).
Decent amount of space for tents.
Flexible to check in at any time the pub was open.
Easy access to the pub for drinks.
Good value.

Disliked The toilet facilities that were shared with the pub were not in great condition and some were out of order.
The ground was not well maintained, very lumpy and lots of mole hills. Hard to find a flat pitch.

Liked Food was beautiful
Reasonably priced
Peaceful pitch and 24 hrs toilet access to the pub

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.

Liked Lovely quiet campsite, functional with basic facilities but a repeat visit so clearly caters for us

Disliked Nothing to dislike but with only one shower working for the whole campsite, which admittedly isnt big, it was a small inconvenience when we wanted to get out early.
