The site's central space

  • Family-friendly countryside park with fishery and reindeer
  • A 20-minute drive from Worcester; 25 minutes from Great Malvern
  • Seven fishing lakes and a licensed restaurant-café on site
Picnics with local meats, cheeses and artisan breads? Reindeer, alpacas, goats, chickens and pigs Thelma and Louise as neighbours? Day trips to Worcester and the Malvern Hills? Tick, tick and tick? Then head to The Cob House Countryside Park, a family-run site in rural Worcestershire with a fishery, countryside park, café and resident animals such as reindeer. Pick up a traditional breakfast from the site’s fully licensed café-restaurant The Mayfly. Once well-fed, you should be quite ready to take on the number of walking routes that start directly from The Cob House or the hilly climbs and mountain biking trails in the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, half an hour’s drive away. If you’re around in the daytime, there are home-cooked lunches, cakes and afternoon teas available at the café. That's particularly handy if you're getting stuck into your fishing activities… that’s right, the site also has seven coarse fishing lakes (bring your own equipment and try your luck with some rather large carp). The Mayfly café closes by 5pm most days, so ask the team for their recommendations, as there are some great pubs in the local area for evening meals. The Cob House Countryside Park runs events throughout the year, such as kids’ fun days, fishing lessons, model boat sailing (every Sunday), car boot sales, racing pigeon release, dog shows and fundraising days. As for essential facilities, the site also has a modern toilet and shower block. What about your day trips? Worcester is the closest city 20 minutes’ drive away and has the River Severn, Worcester Cathedral and heaps of interesting shops. Great Malvern, 25 minutes’ drive away, is a characterful town at the foot of the Malvern Hills too.

Liked: Halloween break with my 2 girls during half term, in my campervan, they absolutely loved it, the activities the Cob cafe put on kept them entertained as well as the play park and fairy trail. Food was brilliant and great staff. Site was clean, facilities likewise and up to date...which is a welcome, compared to some we've visited. We stayed for 2 nights with a full site, a lovely quiet area with beautiful walks...and a bit of fishing if you fancy it. Will definitely visit again A+++

Disliked: Cafe got busy, but it was half term and it's clearly a very popular place for local residents with kids...not really a dislike but it was the only negative if you fancy super quick service and a bit of quiet

Liked: Absolutely lovely site with animals.

We stayed for 1 night, out of season with our 2 children. Lovely site with fantastic and well-looked after animals.

There are information cards too so you can learn about the animals and their names.

Would stay again!

Liked: The sunset was amazing. Cracking walks and a deeply peaceful feel to this site.

Our pitch was on a bit of a slope, but was clean and well maintained and the hard standing was well received.

The facilities were clean and very well maintained. The cafe was lovely and the shop was well stocked.

Loved the animal walk - clearly well looked after and enjoying life.

The fishing competition was fascinating, we wondered why there were no women competing. The numbers fishing did provide some entertainment.

Disliked: The water wasn’t very hot, not sure if it peaks at different times of the day.

Liked: Overlooking one of the lakes. Beautiful site in the country side. Peaceful and quiet and the children loved visiting all the animals and the toilets and showers was the cleanest I have ever seen on a campsite. The warden and his wife stay on site and we’re very helpful and friendly. Will definitely stay again.

Liked: The friendliness and warm welcome we received from the staff upon arrival was lovely and very informative.
The cleanliness of the shower and toilet block was also nice.

Disliked: Unfortunately during our stay the on site Café/bar was closed and with very limited wifi connectivity we found ourselves walking around a deserted site without seeing a single person. The Llamas did keep us company though :)

Local attractions

Kicking things off with a good stroll? Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour’s drive) has options like a town trail, the Teme Valley path, Worcestershire Beacon and the British Camp trek. The Knapp And Papermill Nature Reserve (20 minutes) is not so strenuous, especially if you stop to sniff the wildflowers. It might be that you’re after something that’ll evoke the old times, and English composer Elgar's birthplace The Firs (10 minutes) should get any creative juices flowing. Witley Court and Gardens (15 minutes), a grand manor house, and Brockhampton (20 minutes), an ancient estate, make good spots for a picnic among historic surroundings. If you’re after some lively scenes, Worcester (20 minutes) has a cathedral, museum and a busy high street. There are events and shows year round at the Three Counties Showground (half an hour). Great Malvern (25 minutes) is a characterful spot too, with walks into the hills from the railway station, plus a town trail and regular farmers’ markets.
