  • Dog-friendly Wiltshire retreat on a smallholding just off the A350
  • A 15-minute drive to the Kennet and Avon Canal; 35 minutes to Bath
  • A five-minute drive from pubs and takeaways; walking trails nearby
Towpath adventures, country walks, Roman baths and laidback pub crawls? If you’re liking the sound of all of the above, Littleton Retreat has the recipe. Located on a smallholding just off the A350 in Littleton, Semington, your Wiltshire wanderlust will be well treated here. Make your way to the Kennet and Avon Canal, 15 minutes’ drive away, for peaceful towpath bike rides and days of boating, or take yourself off-piste onto various local walks. Melksham, the local town, is 45 minutes’ walk from the site if you fancy a takeaway. Or perhaps you might want to plot out your own route for a relaxed, daytime pub crawl (the first pub is a short drive or cycle away) in and around Melksham. Littleton Retreat is a well-maintained site with mainly level grassy pitches. It’s a simple sort of getaway – the type where guests can fully unwind without too many distractions (unless you count the towpath adventures and Bath’s many Roman sites and cobbled streets, 35 minutes’ drive away, that is). The facilities consist of toilets, showers, a washing-up area, several drinking water points, a grey waste point, an Elsan point and a recycling waste point.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked On arrival, our first impression of Littleton Retreat was that it’s a small site, but pleasant – the pitches were surprisingly spacious, allowing plenty of room to set up without feeling cramped ( Large Tent/Gazebo/Large Car).

Unfortunately, that’s about as far as our experience went. While pitching the tent, we were informed that there was a problem with the boiler, meaning the site currently had no hot water. This was a significant issue for us, and had we known in advance, we wouldn’t have booked or would have cancelled prior to arrival.

To be fair, after a conversation the site owner was understanding and did offer a full refund without hesitation, which we appreciated. However, it would have made a big difference to have been notified of the situation ahead of time – a simple message or email would have saved us the time, effort, and inconvenience of setting up only to pack up again.

Overall, the site itself showed promise, but the lack of communication about such an important amenity really let the experience down

From the manager: Hi thanks for your review, sorry you didn’t stay with us and have a good experience, we did inform you about the shower as soon as we could, unfortunately the situation of the boiler breaking down was out of our control, also we gave you a full refund due to this situation as you said you couldn’t stay without showers, which is understandable, sometimes things are out of our control but get rectified as soon as possible, thanks ady.

Take away the showers and wasps this is a great little site.

Liked A beautiful site, sensibly structured, generously sized pitches.

Disliked The noise from the roads is unbearable during the day, but it dies down a little at night.
Unfortunately, at the weekends, as on many campsites in the UK, you meet people who only come to party and make a lot of Noise.

From the manager: Thanks for your review, sorry you experienced some noise from fellow campers, instances like this should be reported to myself as this is not tolerated.
Thanks ady.

Liked Littleton Retreat has the amenities you require and is set in a quiet feild surrounded by farm land. Lovely and quiet and what is needed when you want a relaxing break away.

Disliked The disused track near to the site as fly tipping has happened in the past and it requires a good clean.

From the manager: Thanks for your lovely review, glad you enjoyed your break, as for the fly tipping I have notified the council and waiting for them to respond many thanks ady.

Local attractions

What will Wiltshire serve you up? There’s medieval architecture, a brewery and a working set of Shire horses in Devizes (15 minutes’ drive) – that might make you feel like you’re back in the olden’ days. The same goes for Trowbridge (10 minutes), which is one of 23 Magna Carta towns (very important places 800 years back in time). Nowadays, it has a splendid weekly market and great shopping streets. Tick off a bucket list item while you’re making your way around, as the stone circle of Stonehenge (half an hour) isn’t too far away either. Avebury (half an hour) has another ancient stone circle, which is part of the Avebury World Heritage Site. If you’re not quite done with the historical itinerary, Bradford-on-Avon (15 minutes) on the river Avon has an ancient bridge, 19th-century cloth mills and old weavers’ cottages. There’s an Elizabethan manor house in Longleat (half an hour) too, but another big attraction there is the drive-in safari park where monkeys can clamber over your car and lions can stride past your vehicle.
