Bowrundel Lifestyle

Liked: I liked the play area and shower, toilet, washing up facilities.

Disliked: I didnt like the fact that there wasn't a communal fridge/freezer like other campsites for those who only have tents and the weather is warm. Bit too small. Only one other camper there and so lacked atmosphere. No WiFi.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments, Rachel. We're sorry the campsite didn't meet your expectations. We are very small, only accommodating a maximum of 6 pitches at any one time, and we think that brings a quiet charm to the guests' experience with us. I'm sure you can appreciate that we are unable to guarantee a full campsite on any given day, so there are not always other campers there to help create the atmosphere you mentioned, unfortunately. The glampsite was full with guests in our safari and bell tents, and we welcome our camping guests to use The Paddock space as well as the camping meadow. We are open in our listing that we don't offer wifi, as we hope our guests can enjoy a bit of tech-free time and surround themselves with nature during their stay. We also don't provide a communal fridge as we have no communal area to house it without running the risk of it getting dirty (if left outside) and that would then go against our high standards of facilities and cleanliness. Thank you for booking with us though, we're glad you did enjoy the washroom facilities and children's play area. Katy & Ben.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely comments, Caroline! We're glad you liked the facilities and the views! Katy & Ben.

Liked: Absolutely everything! Beautiful safari tents, spotlessly clean, fabulous quality, and attention to detail with hooks, bedding, hot water bottles and blankets. The bathrooms were better than some hotel rooms!

Disliked: You can hear the noise of the road nearby, but that really doesn’t spoil it! You can’t see the road, you have a beautiful view of the countryside.

From the manager: We love that you noticed all the attention to detail- we try to make it a bit of home-from-home when you stay at Bowrundel Lifestyle glamping! We think the bathrooms are great too, but really enjoyed your comment about then being better than some hotel rooms you've stayed in before, it's a lovely compliment :) Thanks again for booking with us, Katy & Ben.

Liked: Very equipped, clean showers and toilet. Friendly owner

Disliked: Not so much space as though initially

From the manager: Thanks for your comments, Denis. Sorry to hear that you didn't have as much space as you thought you might have though- we do give details of the dimensions of the pitches in our listing so that potential guests can judge if the pitch will be spacious enough for them and their camping set up. Happy to hear you liked the washroom facilities though. Thanks again, Katy & Ben.

Liked: Spacious flat field. Lovely shower and toilet block with warm showers. Views across fields and animals. Play area and short nature trail. Super friendly owners. Convenient to get to.

Disliked: Nothing, we’d love to go back. If you’re a light sleeper then it might be good to be aware of background noise from the main road but it didn’t bother us.

From the manager: Thanks so much, Mary, that was a lovely read! Glad you enjoyed the facilities and being surrounded by nature. Thanks again for booking with us, you'd be welcome back anytime :) Katy & Ben.

Liked: The paddock is beautiful, full of spring flowers with a very small play area. The safari tent is well furnished and the beds comfortable (and I’m picky!). The toilets and shower were clean with plenty of hot water for our group. We found the owners to be quickly responsive when we had to reach out which was very helpful. Tewksbury was only a 10 minute drive away and we went for a lovely sunny walk along the river there.

From the manager: We're so glad you enjoyed yourselves, Bethany. Thank you for your lovely review. Spring time is my favourite time in The Paddock because of the blooming wild flowers! Also love that you found the beds comfortable, as a self-professed picky person! Hope to welcome you back in the future. Katy & Ben.

Liked: Fantastic stay!! We managed to let the fire go out on the 1st night so was pretty chilly the following morning.

Disliked: N/A - absolutely loved it

From the manager: Thanks Ash, we love that you've been a returning guest too! Hope to see you again in the future :) Katy & Ben.

Liked: Basic campsite, but great facilities. Just what we needed.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, we're very glad it had everything you needed for your camping stay! Katy & Ben.

Liked: We camped on the meadow in our own tent. There were four of us and our dog. The site was beautifully maintained and the surroundings/views are lovely. We were extremely impressed with the superb toilet/shower facilities - the best by far we have encountered. Although we did not have very small children with us, the little play area and nature trail path are great features for those who have. I would highly recommend the site to anyone. Although we were aware of the sound of traffic from the road at night, it did not bother us or make sleeping difficult.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, Sandra. It's great to hear what made your stay enjoyable, we work hard to keep the glampsite and campsite as pleasing as possible for our guests! Katy & Ben.

Liked: I can't say a bad word about this site. Really nice, clean facilities, decent showers, baby changer. Nice views, lots of space for the kids to play and a small playground. Close to Tewkesbury (drive in less than 10 mins) and close to Twyning village with a couple of nice pubs, one right on the river which did nice pizzas. We stayed in our own tent but the huts and safari tents look great would consider coming back and staying there in winter.

From the manager: Thanks so much, Stephen- these photos are great! I've only just realised we can reply to guest reviews so you'll have to excuse the delay in my reply!! Glad you enjoyed yourselves and you know where we are if you're ever passing through! Katy & Ben.
