Electric gravel touring pitch (small)
Liked Level pitch.
Electric hook up and facilities for waste disposal (waste water and porta loo) near by.
Shower water pressure was good.
Pub food was excellent.
Staff very welcoming and helpful.
Free WiFi in pub but not on campsite so a chance to relax away from social media
Disliked Shower and toilet in same room. Would be good if in the future these could be separated so toilet is accessible when shower is in use.

Food in Pub was outstanding.
Would definitely recommend.
We will certainly be back.

Great little site and good pub. Handy for a couple of nights stay
Electric gravel touring pitch (small)
Liked Small and tidily maintained site - situated behind the pub.
Pitches great for couple nights stay - we used as base to go to a concert at Westonbirt arboretum.
Are at the pub one evening - great food and reasonably priced.
Friendly staff at pub.
Disliked Can be a little noisy from the road but it’s just traffic and we only stayed 2 nights - and probably heard more as windows open as was heatwave!
There is only 1 toilet/shower(a little dated) - pub toilets can be used when they are open. The floor tended to be flooded as showers door opens outwards - would benefit from mop to allow everyone to dry floor on leaving.
Neither would stop me staying again.

A great space - happy to return.
Electric gravel touring pitch (large)
Liked It suited us mighty fine. Perfect spot to get to concert at Westonbirt and a visit to Cirencester. Great to have the shower / toilet facility.
Lovely space
The pub was excellent for our evening meal - great choice, reasonable and a superb mixed ploughmans.
Thames path walk very pleasant
Disliked I’d just get rid of the shower room mat, provide a mop (opening the shower door makes the floor a puddle), and a spare loo roll please.

Electric gravel touring pitch (large)
Liked Oh what a brilliant site for a stopover. Flat, well landscaped and very friendly staff. Easy to manouvre our motorhome.
We ate in the Inn that evening and can say the food (meat pie, and fish & chips) were excellent. Home cooked bliss, and a nice pint of ale too.
We will definitely be back for a longer stay so we can visit the area properly.
Disliked Toilet and shower were fine but sadly a bit run down. They just let the site down a bit.

Electric gravel touring pitch (large)
Liked Everything!
Gorgeous little site in the heart of the Cotswolds! Beautiful surroundings! Site was small and friendly the staff are super helpful and polite. Pitch and location was perfect as we were attending the forest live which was only a 15 min drive away!
Will certainly be returning to this site again, seen some reviews complaining about the shower/toilet as there is only one but honestly it was not a problem we had showers every day and sometimes had to wait a little however the longest wait was no longer than 10 minutes. Visited the pub for food and drinks on the Saturday night and it was delicious! Thanks for having us! We highly recommend and will be returning 🥰
Disliked There was no WiFi on the site but did not affect us as we was busy each day but could become a problem if you’ve nothing planned other than staying at the site.

Very good stop for a day or more.
Electric gravel touring pitch (large)
Liked Excellent but small campsite at the back of very good pub. Reasonable cost for a pitch. Good access to Cirencester but not by public transport.
Disliked Toilet and shower was excellent, only problem there was only one apart from access ro pub toilet when open.
