Martin B. Aug 2024

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked: Very, very quiet. No facilities, just an empty field with hens! Felt safe although we were the only people there. £10 for the night... what more do you want?

Disliked: Downside... damn tricky entrance gate, down a slim country track: no damage to the motorhome but blackberry smears down the side! Easier to get out than in.

From the manager: Thank you for your review Martin, it was great to see you at our wild pitches. Could you let us know how we can improve our customer service. And facilities for your next visit?

Non-electric grass and earth motorhome pitch

Liked: It's just a pitch. Turned up late, John was great. Took my payment on his phone no problem. No toilets or showers but for ten quid you get elsan disposal and water. Milk,meat and eggs 🥚 available. Some of the stuff in vending machines. Lovely view, quiet and secluded with no kids.

Disliked: Toilets would be a bonus.

Local attractions

Step foot into a steam train simulator and try changing the signals… with Great Western Railway locomotives on display and a range of interactive features, STEAM - Museum of the Great Western Railway (15 minutes' drive) should nicely entertain those interested in the prime time of steam trains. Budding historians have plenty more to nose around too, whether it’s walks around the 17th-century grandstand at Lodge Park & Sherborne Park Estate (40 minutes) or peaceful picnics at the 18th-century Buscot Park (35 minutes) – both are National Trust sites. Those looking for a more active day trip will find their fix at the Cotswold Water Park (25 minutes), where there are chances to get stuck into kayaking, paddleboarding or waterskiing – or on the flip side, peacefully watching out for otters and watering birds on the lakeside trails.
