Cotswolds Camping

Polubione It was quite

Niepolubione I was told on the phone my plot number and then just told to park anywhere. The facilities were dirty, smelt and the floors felt like they were going to give way as you walk on them. We found a nice new shower block as we left, if someone met us we would have known it was there and been able to use it

Polubione Facilities, use of fridges etc

Niepolubione Showers and toilets were quite grubby. They were supposed to have been cleaned each day but they remained quite dirty. I didn’t bother complaining However as the person in charge of the site was not very friendly at all.
Our pitch was plagued with ants which was quite unpleasant.
The top field had nice views but our camping field unfortunately didn’t.

Polubione Clean campsite near to local town, quirky little bar on site with live music on Saturday night. Had everything we needed.

Niepolubione No toilet roll provided in toilets. Water for washing up did not warm up and had to wash up in cold water.

Od administratora: It breaks my heart when I see someone mention there's no toilet roll provided. We had a trial run this year with supplying toilet roll , all i can honestly say is we had to take the dispensers out after 6 months. People were breaking into them, stealing the whole roll of paper , using them to create toilet roll art, leaving the toilet roll everywhere, getting angry if they weren't topped up. Pulling the roll out and leaving it stuck inside. It was completely unmanageable. We have it mentioned on pitchup, the booking confirmation (which is sent x4 times) and the site rules that customers must bring their own toilet roll. Unfortunately as a business we often add new and exciting things for our customers but they often don't last long. The website mentions there are 5 sinks at the campsite, 2 being cold water and three being hot, we will update the map this year to include there locations. There's one in the shared kitchen and two at the top field shower block, the ones by the washing machines are cold only.

Polubione Nice and quiet
Great for what we needed.
Friendly staff. Cafe staff are lovely :)
Park for the children was a hit!

Niepolubione (Just one pointer showers were too hot for little ones.)

Polubione Everything about this place was great. The campsite itself was unbelievable. Very clean and tidy.

The staff that run the campsite were very helpful and very friendly and made us feel safe and welcome.

The Caldron Cafe is excellent clean and the food is great and so are the people that run it.

I’m a Wheelchair user and stayed here for three nights/4 days with my two young children and I can honestly say I’ve never felt more welcomed comfortable and safe.

This campsite is the best I’ve ever stayed on and will be returning very soon

If you want a easy stay in a Cotswolds then look no further than this place

Polubione Very easy to check in and pitch tent. Very peaceful. The owner is lovely and told us all about the gypsy caravans and their origin. Very interesting.

Niepolubione The facilities were not cleaned regularly and there is no toilet paper.

Polubione Entrance easy to see, access roads easy to drive. Site warden easily contacted via text or call. Easy check in process. Private toilet in pod. Mattress and sofa bed (though small) was comfortable.
Decent sized pod.
Site some has facilities, shared fridge and freezer available. Shop and reception on site although was closed most of the time when went past so not sure what was in the shop. Place to get hot food on site. Water tap throughout the site.
“Shower” area for dog opposite the main shower block. Car can be parked next to the pod. Ample lighting at the sinks and showers/toilet at night

Niepolubione Honestly was a little bit disappointed by our stay for a number of reasons.
Firstly the toilet in the pod could be easily converted to shower with toilet. Listing for the camp should state more clearly, listing said 1x bathroom, there was no bath or shower, should just be listed as 1x toilet only to avoid confusion.
No form of insulation in the pod, reflects and amplifies the weather, very hot during the day and very cold at night. No shade over the pods or outdoor space that came with the pod.
The pod was lightly cleaned before our arrival, dust still covering a lot of areas in the pod. Belongings from previous guests still, empty bags, sunglasses etc.
shower block next to the pod were closed during our 5 day stay so we had to use the main shower block at the front - 3 fields away. Showers have one temperature setting, water was too hot for me and my partner felt the same. Shared showers and toilet were clean.
Could do with a bin in the pod (which we could empty ourselves) or more bins throughout the site. Could do with some hooks throughout the pod, somewhere to hang towels or jackets.
Some people didn’t pick after their dogs, which was annoying (not the camp site fault of course)
Also pod was infested with ants so beware if you don’t like creepy crawlies, we were find with it but couldn’t keep food in the pod so everything stayed in containers or the fridge.

Od administratora: Thankyou for you review, it is actually appreciated as you've included the positives and negatives and left us a balanced review with areas we can improve on, i will check over the listing on pitchup, i wasn't aware it could be listed as a toilet only, if it can be i will change that. I don't think we will ever add showers to them, although there is space. i like the idea of providing a sheltered or shaded area though, we haven't thought of that and its something that could be easily implemented, we have recently added the new showers at the front of the campsite, and during the year progressively turned the water temperature down, i think its almost at a level where it suits people who like hot showers and those that don't. Opposite the main shower and toilet block there are more showers which are temperate controlled. Next year we are going to include a map alongside the site rules which highlights all of the differing facilities. The pods are always cleaned , I'm hoping the items mentioned were on the outside on the decking and not inside. On very rare occasions customers are able to figure out the combination code to the key box and will sneak in, this has only happened 3 times in three years but it can be very upsetting for us and the customer using the accommodation. They all used to have bins inside but quite often were not emptied by customers and there would be piles of rubbish left alongside them, so we had to take them out. I currently have more hooks in reception ready to go into the pods. With us being in the countryside were always going to get creepy crawlies , each year we try our best top ant proof all the accommodations, and regularly apply ant powder to the outside of the buildings. I guess i final check before accommodations are hired out is what's needed to prevent the situation again.

Despite your review only being a four star review , you've taken the time to list the positives and negatives. As a family run business that's all we could ever ask for. If you can contact us on our email address or text us on the wardens number just to clarify if the rubbish was inside or outside, we will also issue you with a credit note for a free stay in a glamping pod for the future, obviously insuring there are no ants this time.
