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 your lovely and balanced review, Colin.

We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and found Briarfields clean, tidy and well laid out. It's also wonderful to know you were impressed with our washroom facilities and that the Wi-Fi worked so well for you.

We're pleased you appreciated how easy the park is to reach too. Our convenient location between Cheltenham and Gloucester, close to the main road network and Gloucestershire Airport, is one of the reasons many guests choose us, although as you rightly mention, it does mean some traffic and light aircraft noise can be heard at times.

We're always very open about this in our park descriptions so guests know what to expect before booking, and we're grateful for your balanced comments. For many guests, the excellent access to Cheltenham, Gloucester, the Cotswolds, the M5 and public transport right outside the park makes it a worthwhile trade-off.

Best Wishes,
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!

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 taking the time to leave your review.

We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and particularly appreciated the layout of the park, the generous size of your fully serviced pitch and our clean, spacious facilities. It's also great to hear the Wi-Fi worked well for you.

Thank you too for your lovely comments about the welcome you received. We always try to give guests plenty of information about the local area, public transport and places to visit so they can really make the most of their stay.

We completely appreciate your comments regarding our location. Briarfields isn't a remote countryside site, and we're very open about this in our descriptions and information before guests book. We're situated between Cheltenham and Gloucester, close to major road links and Gloucestershire Airport, so traffic and light aircraft can be heard at times.

That same location does, however, give our guests exceptionally convenient access to Cheltenham, Gloucester, the Cotswolds, the M5, excellent cycle routes and regular buses just outside the park. For many of our guests, that convenience is one of the main reasons they choose to stay with us.

Thank you for your balanced feedback and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future.

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.

Recommend to friends Visit again

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.
