About Briarfields Motel and Touring Caravan Park
Briarfields is a friendly park, beautifully landscaped and exclusively for adults, surrounded by mature hedges, shrubs and lawns, the park has an array of trees to give it that rural feel, with lots of birdlife too. For those with tourers or motorhomes choose from hardstanding pitches inclusive of 10 amp electric or opt for a fully serviced pitch. All pitches are divided by hornbeam hedging (some are more mature than others). Escape the elements in comfort with one of three cosy glamping pods (Buttercup, Daisy, Bluebell), all with electricity, lighting and heating. Pods sleep two adults with either a double bed or two singles, although do note that bedding isn't provided. Inside you will find a small kitchenette equipped with a mini fridge, microwave and kettle. French doors lead onto your own decking area. Cycling is fantastic here and there is a path outside the entrance that goes all the way into Cheltenham (10 minutes). Sustrans cycle route 41 is a stones throw away and will lead you along quiet roads into Gloucester. Pets are most welcome and there is a maximum of two dogs per pitch. The park is not quite big enough for a dedicated dog walk but there is a little orchard adjacent to the motorhome service area for toileting morning and evening. There are lots of walks directly from the park and lots of places a short drive away where your four-legged friends can have a yomp in the fields. Rallies are also most welcome.
The site is open all year, with camping available from Easter to September only.
Onsite facilities include heated washrooms with showers, toilets, washbasins, hand and hair dryers, shaver points and a disabled wet room. There are also laundry facilities with a washing machine, tumble dryer and ironing board, as well as a communal freezer and dish-washing area.
Free WiFi is available throughout the site.
You'll find plenty of amenities within a 10 minute walk including the National Hunt Green King restaurant, Redgrove Harvester, KFC, Costa Coffee, Fish and Chips, Chinese takeaway, Local Case, Garden Centre with Cade, along with an Aldi and Asda supermarket for any last minute items.
The site also benefits from an excellent bus service passing by the entrance, services run to both Cheltenham and Gloucester every 15 minutes.

From the minute we arrived we were met with a welcoming and informative host, who made us feel so welcome. The campsite itself was very well laid out with plenty of space for our motorhome. The facilities were over and above with catering for all needs, easy access and spotlessly clean. We shall certainly be returning in the near future for another peaceful and relaxing break. Thank you all for making our short break so enjoyable.
