Briarfields Touring Park

Liked The glamping pod was so comfortable and had everything (and more!) I needed. Loved the private outside space too. My dog also enjoyed the dog walking field.

I felt very safe as a female solo traveller and would highly recommend to others!

Liked This site was chosen as it is Adults only, on a bus route and also fairly close to home (45 mins away).

When we arrived we were advised they were moving us to a different pitch than they had planned, as we wouldn’t need levelling ramps, and probably due to our small size. The staff were lovely and friendly.

The pitch was perfect, nice and private with shelter from the sun by the trees, with water, waste and electric.

The facilities were lovely and clean and modern - the piped music was a nice touch! We also liked the wicker figures around the site and the fairy lights at night.

We were right under the flight path for the local airport, so that combined my two hobbies - camping and planes - perfect! We took a walk to the airport and had a drink at the Aviator Inn, and watched the planes coming and going. (Be warned, the walk is along a fairly busy and fast road that doesn’t have a footpath).

There was some road noise but that doesn’t bother us as we live by the M5.

Local transport was efficient to get to both Gloucester and Cheltenham and further afield.

Would definitely recommend.

Disliked Nothing!

From the manager: Thank you so much for your fantastic and wonderfully detailed review, Tracey.

We're delighted you chose Briarfields for your break and that our adults-only setting, location and excellent bus links ticked all the boxes for you.

It's lovely to hear the pitch change worked out so well too. We always try to allocate the most suitable pitch we can, and it sounds as though yours was just right, with plenty of privacy and some very welcome shade from the sunshine!

We're so pleased you enjoyed our clean, modern facilities and the piped music! It's also lovely that you noticed the wicker sculptures and fairy lights around the park. They're some of those little touches we hope help make Briarfields feel a bit special.

We had to smile at your comments about the aircraft. Being close to Gloucestershire Airport isn't everyone's cup of tea, so finding a guest who can combine two hobbies – camping and plane spotting – is absolutely perfect! It sounds as though your visit to the Aviator Inn rounded things off nicely too. Ooh re the walk to the Aviator there is an off road route across the fields then onto a footpath for the last stretch. The other safe route is turn left out of the park and follow the B4063 and turn left at the set of lights and continue along the footpath and you'll see the Aviator on your right hand side. Maps can be found on our noticeboards.

We're also pleased you made good use of the buses to Cheltenham and Gloucester. Having such regular public transport right outside the park is a real bonus for guests who want to leave the car or motorhome behind and explore.

Thank you again for your recommendation and, best of all, for having nothing to dislike! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope that, being only 45 minutes away, we'll be seeing you back at Briarfields before too long.

From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, Robert.

We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciated how clean and tidy you found the park. It's also great to know you made the most of the excellent bus links to both Cheltenham and Gloucester.

We're very sorry to hear you experienced issues with the Wi-Fi. This certainly isn't the experience we want our guests to have. Our Wi-Fi system was completely upgraded at the end of last season and is generally very reliable, so it sounds as though there may have been a fault affecting your stay. Had we known at the time, we would have been more than happy to investigate and, in many cases, resolve the issue straight away.

Thank you for bringing it to our attention through your review. We really do value all feedback, as it helps us continue to improve. We hope this isolated issue won't deter you from visiting us again, and we'd love the opportunity to provide you with a five-star experience next time.

Best Wishes,

Liked This was my first time staying in one of the pods, and I absolutely loved it! It was a birthday gift to myself, and it was money very well spent.

The pod was cosy and comfortable, and I really enjoyed the peaceful walking routes around the park, as well as the easy stroll to the nearby retail park. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind.

I remembered Briarfields being really well kept from previous visits, and I'm happy to say the standards haven't dropped at all. I'll definitely be returning whenever life gets a bit hectic and I need to de-stress or simply treat myself again. Highly recommended!

Michael on reception a very warm, friendly chap.

Disliked Not being able to park car next to pod.
