Not a fancy campsite, but good value for money in a good location
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great location (can access the hills without driving).
Decent amount of space for tents.
Flexible to check in at any time the pub was open.
Easy access to the pub for drinks.
Good value.
Disliked The toilet facilities that were shared with the pub were not in great condition and some were out of order.
The ground was not well maintained, very lumpy and lots of mole hills. Hard to find a flat pitch.

Would recommend if you want a quiet simple site in a great location.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We stayed Sunday to Tuesday and had the whole site to ourselves. Dinner at the Marlbank pub on Sunday evening was great and Monday we cooked for ourselves. No one around so no queue for shower and a peaceful night's sleep.
We were able to leave our car next to our tent and no one came round to check that we left by 11am, which is all in the rules, but perhaps more chilled when the site is busy.
We were within walking distance of the Malvern Hills, the perfect location for a couple of relaxing days.
WiFi is available at the pub and on the seats just outside but doesn't stretch into the campsite.
Disliked We weren't told much when we arrived, like where the washing area was, and for a brief moment I thought something had gone wrong with the booking as the person checking us in didn't seem to be expecting us.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Small, friendly pub with great service and food! The hard standing pitches were a good size with electric hook up. Washing facility were basic and practical. Toilets were inside, we didn't use the showers but the toilets were perfectly fine.
The food in the pub was fantastic and considering we booked a table for 9 people and there were lots of other tables booked it was brilliant service. Lively atmosphere with beer garden which music was played in throughout the day which we like (husband was very happy with the large tv playing the rugby in the sofa area! Son was very happy with the pool table). Also very dog friendly and the fact you can take your pup in the pub for drinks and food is so handy, esp if weather isnt great. Lovely location with a walking trail perfect for dogs across the road over the field. Something for everyone here. Liked the notice with the distance to shops and number for takeaway services who would deliver to the pub, thoughtful and handy.
Ignore the bad reviews, some people seem to be petty and moan about anything. It all depends what you are looking for but the pictures and description are a good idea of what to expect.
Thanks for a great time - we shall be back for short weekends frequently.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch
Liked Nothing
Disliked All of it ! Terrible pitches and rubbish piled up in one corner a pothole or man hole with no cover on it Also no water available the waste disposal was in an old wooden shed covered in weeds the showers and toilet were in the pub ( who knows what they looked like ). We payed £90 for 3 nights but couldn’t bring ourselves to stay here so we moved to another site which we had to pay another £45 for 2 nights, I have sent a email to the owners explaining why we didn’t stay and asked for a refund but as of now we have had no reply, do your self a favour save your and stay away from the Marlbank inn farm.
