Tobacconist Farm Reviews

Wonderful campsite

Such a lovely, peaceful and well looked after campsite.

Peaceful site in a great location

Fantastic relaxing break at this dog friendly site. Lucy was great. The location is excellent, conveniently located near the town which has pubs, shops and a small market. The Common is fantastic for dog walking.

Fantastic all round!

The Tobacconist Farm has huge grass pitches, each cleverly screened by their own patch of unmown patches of native wildflowers and grasses. The shower, toilet, showers, washing up and laundry facilities are excellent and very clean. The contact with Lucy was excellent and her welcome when showing us the pitches available. The location is perfect for beautiful walking and is very close to the very picturesque small town of Minchinhampton and many other attractive locations. I only stayed one night but will definitely return. Thank you!

Brilliant

Generally an excellent stay that I cannot fault. Allocated plots with trees/bushes between for privacy. Perfectly clean facilities. Individual toilets and showers. Lucy was so so helpful and always answered our questions. Peaceful, multiple drinking water points and clean kitchen sinks, inside and out. Kitchen was warm, good for drying out damp clothes if, like us, you are unlucky with the weather. One thing to note is that there is no farm shop on site. This wasn't a problem for us and Lucy pointed us towards a lovely shop. If we are in the area again, we would definitely stay here.

Ideal for oldies' family camping

Perfect for our annual family camping outing. Relaxed with plenty of space. Grass not cut to within an inch of its life. Well drained, so despite recent heavy rain, the ground was dry. Good facilities; only drawback is sometimes users forgot to set the vacant/engaged sign. Excellent showers - instant hot water with lots of room and chairs to dump your stuff - other campsites please take note! BBQs to borrow. 15 minute wander into Minchinhampton with coffee shops and pub, plus well stocked shop and butcher. Loads of places to visit if you wish and easy walk onto Minchinhampton common. The two donkeys like apples, carrots and toast. We usually go to a different site each year, but don't need to now.

Our stay

Really lovely! No complaints.

Plenty of walks

Nice adult only site with plenty of walks surrounding the area. Very dog friendly.

Lovely site

Great to stay in the Cotswolds in a location not mobbed with tourists. Lovely site and village.

Great find

Used it as a stopover on our way back from Devon. Location is excellent, The site feels like you're in the middle nowhere but, 5 min walk into town. Pub, butchers, cafes and corner shop for all your supplies. The site facilities are great, plenty of hot water, showers, washing machine etc… No hesitation in recommending.

Great little site

We were welcomed by Lucy when we arrived and shown to our assigned pitch, although we did have the field to ourselves when we arrived so she told us to choose and set up wherever we liked. We booked an electric pitch and Lucy quickly got us hooked up. The whole campsite was well mowed and the patches of trees and wild grass used to separate the pitches was great for added privacy and everyone had plenty of space. Clean toilets and showers and plenty of space too with lovely hot water. Great little under cover washing up area, there was also a laundry with a washing machine and fridge, but we didn't use these so cannot comment. There were also picnic tables and fire pits available to use and to move around where needed. As an adult only site, it was nice and peaceful - great for relaxing. The village was within easy walking distance and had a little bakery/cafe where you could get breakfast and a small supermarket shop which were very handy. There was also a chippy and pub, but we did not use them. Overall we had a great stay and it was lovely to meet Lucy, and of course I need to give a mention to Alan & Alice the resident site donkeys, so cute!! I would definitely recommend and would happily stay again. Thanks for having us x

You can't fault it

Basic, but lovely. You can't fault it. Lucy was very helpful.

Our stay

Absolutely fantastic site. The facilities were immaculate. Lucy was extremely helpful. Had a wonderful 2 weeks completing Cotswold Way with our 2 Springer Spaniels. Would highly recommend the site.

Great small adult only site

Lovely quiet, tidy site with great location to Minchinhampton. Toilets and showers clean and tidy. Owners sell logs for fire pits and there are also ones to hire/borrow on site. Absolutely GREAT fish and chip shop 10 mins walk away that delivers too. Would definitely recommend to others and think we will be coming back. Loved the wild cows walking along the streets and over the common.

Tobacconist Farm camping

A lovely location. A quaint village with an excellent pub within a 10 minute walk - The Crown. A bit on the pricey side, but the food was beyond excellent. You will get what you pay for. Campsite showers and bathrooms are really clean and tidy. Firepit provided. All in all a lovely time was had by my fiancé and me.

A beautiful campsite with lots of space

A beautiful site in the middle of the village within walking distance of a pub and bakery that also sells delicious coffee and food. The entrance looks messy with old caravans and sheds, but the camping fields behind are very nice. Recommended! Translated from Dutch.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. You're right, the campsite is a beautiful, a hidden gem, tucked away and very private. You do have to come through my farmyard to get there but that makes it even more special. Thanks again, Lucy

Very good campsite

Me and the wife loved this campsite. It was close to the village, and nice and quiet.

Tobacconist Farm

Lucy was very accommodating and very friendly. The site is very nice and well looked after. The shower and toilet block were very clean, plenty of hot water. Nice walks to go on with the dog. Can't wait to go back. Thank you Lucy for a lovely week.

Every bit as good as last time!

This is our second stay with Lucy at Tobacconist Farm and we'll be back again. As ever, spotlessly clean and well-maintained toilet/kitchen block, limitless hot water, use of fridge/freezer and washing machine, spacious and level pitch. It was breezy - nothing anyone can do about that - so our gazebo was a fail, but apart from that, it was another smashing weekend. Thank you, Lucy, for all your recommendations: pub grub, canal walk and ice-cream parlour.

Fab place

Can't fault the reviews on Lucy. Welcoming from the beginning. Took us to our spot & gave recommendations on where to position the tent! Showers & Toilets clean and warm! Had a nice shower on the Saturday. Lovely walk into Minchampton for a smoothie & some freshly cooked chips! Great site Lucy!

peace and quiet

was reccomended to us by friends. We will certainly be passing on the reccomendation. Helpful staff, beautiful location only 5 mins walk from Minchinhampton. Clean facilities and large pitch size

Fantastic site.

What an amazing place to stay, clean toilets and showers. Nice size pitches, great location, close to the village. Lucy, the owner, is an absolute star. She went above and beyond, helping us with our plans and ensuring that we had a great time. Definitely will be going back for longer next time. 5 stars, excellent site.

Calm and peaceful

Fantastic site. Best facilities we have seen anywhere in UK. Lucy was very welcoming and gave us lots of info about the village. Would definitely recommend but not too much as it will spoil it!😂

Holiday

Very good campsite, very clean and well laid out. Would recommend to anyone.

Peace & tranquillity

A lovely peaceful site, and a very large pitch. We were camping with our adult daughter and there was enough room for the campervan, awning/gazebo and a couple of pop up tents, and loved the picnic table that was part of every pitch. Plenty of toilets and showers which were very clean and never busy. Though the campsite was near to the town's facilities, it really felt like we were in the middle of beautiful countryside. We only wanted to stay for one night, but had to book for minimum of 2, which made the pitch more expensive than we would normally pay.

Site's response

Hi, Thanks for your review. We are a very small campsite and have a minimum booking of two nights over every weekend and three over a bank holiday. Sorry that you weren't able to stay the second night. You did however stay and enjoy our site all Sunday afternoon. Lucy - Tobacconist Farm

June 2023

My partner and I stayed over the weekend, lovely quiet camp. Short walk to the local pubs and cafes. The facilities were clean and well stocked, warm showers. Electric hook up and water in the field we stayed in. Polite and warm welcome from Will, showed us where everything was- fire pits and logs available on site.
