Really nice place to stay. Not too busy and the people in the pub were amazing and welcoming. Cheers for the lovely drop of hook Norton IPA 👊

Good site

Easy to find on a main road, but far enough from the road to be safe for children. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic!

Really enjoyed our stay here. A lot of campsites around this area are really expensive, this place is not! Super reasonable! No messing around with camping, just pitch up where there is space. Pub is great, staff were really friendly and the service was excellent. Fantastic atmosphere and busy for a weekday evening which is always great to see. Food was really good and reasonably priced. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you very much!

Very good site for motorhome stay

Lovely, quiet site behind pretty pub garden despite being near busy road. Pub food (home made steak pie) was excellent. Good access, Hook Norton village is a 25 min walk away. Such a lovely area to explore & the site had everything we needed.

Local camping trip to test new set up

We had a non electric hook up pitch, plenty of space to choose from. We booked a table. Good choice of food and was very nice. Good choice of ale, cider and wine. Would recommend and will.

Friendly pub

The friendly staff couldn't do enough to help. There was great food, we eat there again. We had a lovely time, sitting in the garden which was lovely. The shower and toilet were ok, just could be a little better, but they did what they needed to do.

Good old fashioned camping, a lovely weekend

Proper camping, minimum facilities, but it works. A lovely pub, the food is good and the host is charming. Only adverse comments are for the local council, there are no footpaths on the roads, which are busy and very fast, so dog walking is almost impossible. If they just cut the grass on the verges, it wouldn't be. All in all, a good weekend thank you.

Okay for a last minute stop over, great food and views

Fairly big field next to the pub, no marked pitches, just go where you like (unless needing EHU, obviously). Had to pay extra to put a small tent next to it - even though an awning would have been free. But still - pretty cheap. We didn't think the facilities were great. One loo, one shower room (with loo as well) were not kept very clean. Can use pub loos when open. However, the views are lovely, and the pub food fantastic, so certainly worth a stop if you're in the area.

We advertise one shower and 2 loos. We do mention the facilities that we offer. It is very hard to keep the loos clean when it rains, and your shoes carry mud on to the floor. You could always come and tell us in the pub that the floor is dirty.

Perfect for 2 night stay

Great value. Lovely location behind a nice pub. Ok for a couple of nights. Probably wouldn't want to stay a lot longer due to only having 1 wash room, but ideal for a weekend.

Historic pub and nice atmosphere

Very nice pub and the people were genuinely helpful. We stayed on a non-electric pitch, which was on uneven ground so don't forget your chocks.. Had lovely meal, nice and freshly cooked, no frozen stuff. Site covers a mixture of outfits campervans, motorhomes and tents, would stay again if passing.

Camping

A shame there isn't 1 or 2 more toilets, maybe a portable loo for when it's busy. Other than that, staff are friendly and it's a clean site, will definitely go back.

Clean, relaxed site

Small site used as a base to look around the Cotswolds, although it's small it's well kept and clearly popular, although at no point did it feel there were too many people there. One shower room and one separate toilet were always clean and drinking water was accessible if needed. I would suggest eating in the restaurant, the food was amazing and well priced.

May bank holiday

Staff were really friendly and helpful. Site is very uneven and unfortunately due to recent weather were unable to cut the grass, but at least we were still able to stay. Lovely area for visiting local villages, but nothing really within walking distance. Nice shower with hot running water and good overnight facilities at a great price.

Comfortable site with great pub

Site nicely maintained, facilities clean, quiet and the pub was lovely with great food and service. Only deducted location pints as there are no public footpaths nearby that you don't have to walk down main roads with no pavement to access, which is a shame because otherwise great.

Simple campsite

We stayed here for 3 nights in our caravan over a bank holiday weekend. The site itself is in a great location, on the corner of junction, behind the pub. A field behind which offers electric hookups and camping field. Quite sloped in parts, and grass quite long! The shower and toilet is near the pub garden, we didn't use these. If you're wanting a basic campsite with a rural feel, this is it. Would use again but would equally try other sites too.

Site's response

Thank you for your review. With the grass being long, the weather that we have had we have been only to get on and cut once. I wish I could control the weather!!

Great place for a stop over!

I stayed for one night in my camper conversion… a great site and good to have the toilet disposal and waste water points. I ate at the pub and the food was great (and reasonably priced!). I'll definitely be back!

Lovely stay in a brilliant location! Found the field a little bit uneven in places, but overall the site provided a lovely relaxing weekend. Toilets and showers were available and always nice and clean. The pub food was excellent and the staff were very welcoming. Would definitely return!

Excellent for an overnighter

Great find, perfect for our needs. Field was to wet to drive on so we parked in pub car park. Perfectly adequate for our needs. Toilets were clean and warm. The pub offered an excellent menu at a reasonable price.

One night stay en-route to NEC

Nice rural country pub. Campsite in field behind pub. On quite a slope but some pitches fairly level and exit downhill so no concern about getting stuck! Had a delicious meal in the pub which was very reasonably priced. We would definitely stay here again.
