Nice site in the heart of the Cotswolds. Not very level camping field. Couldn’t find wash up facilities. Other wise pub was excellent.

Stopped here on our way to Shropshire to break up the journey and so glad we did. Friendly welcoming staff, lovely cosy pub with a fire which was roaring. We had a restaurant meal which was first class followed by breakfast the following morning before setting off on our travels. Hot showers and all facilities for waste and water on site. Will definitely be back.
Good site with clean facilities.

Stayed 1 night en route to Dorset. Relaxed campsite some EHU available. Had a meal in the pub, which was lovely however there was a lot of flies in the restaurant, which spoilt it a little. Staff were lovely, basic toilet and washroom but the view was nice. I would stay again for a stopover night.

Great site, we thought the cost of camping was very reasonable too. We went to the Morton Show, so found this site was a great location for visiting Morton In Marsh and other surrounding areas in the beautiful Cotswolds.
Great site for a one night stay - lovely pub and food excellent

Made the most of our stay with a meal in the pub which was excellent. The locals were friendly and the site was clean and well signposted.

We enjoyed our stay and the location was great for us on our way down the uk, we wanted to visit diddly squat farm and Cotswolds wildlife park both within 40mins. Really nice food in the pub. The shower was nice and hot and good pressure, just need to add a squeegee so the floor isn't too wet to get dressed afterwards (but that could be just people that used the shower prior to me) and maybe good scrub of the floor.
Great pub meal

The toilet facilities at this site are insufficient for the amount of campers. The site was full and only two toilets were open this morning

Facilities limited when pub not open. 2 toilets 1 shower. Only went in the pub to check in, staff were more than friendly. A little pricey, especially when facilities are limited however, great location. Quite a bit of noise on site but after the days excursions, we and the dog slept through it all. I'd recommend as a good base if you are not too concerned about waiting for a toilet or shower.

Very good value for money, it's just a shame I was woken 2 nights in a row by people shouting at each other. Could do with marking the plots out rather than a free for all and a feeling of just cramming as many people as you can in.

Unfortunately, we got woken up early hours, around 2:50 am on the Monday morning, as a man was shouting for a good 10 mins, not sure where abouts on the campsite, but likely a camper 😣 Hope the children staying over were not frightened by his loud shouting. Was even asked to stop shouting, especially due to children being woken up and frightened.
Nice spot in the middle of the country

Lovely pub, excellent food, very basic loo and shower. Excellent for a stop over and easy to get to in a 7.5 m Moho. Is definitely on our stop over list on our travels past Birmingham.
Highly recommended

Amazing place, so peaceful, everyone was so friendly. My daughter (8) made friends with owner's daughter so she was happily playing all day. They are doing amazing work there, the kids playground is brilliant. Ideally there'd be more shower blocks but talking to the guy who was doing work around there, that is on the to do list. I honestly can't fault the place it's such a beautiful spot.

Overall, a nice one night's stay at The Gate Hangs High, although we personally wouldn't stay here again. As this is a pub with just a field attached to the back, the facilities aren't great. There is only one outside toilet and one shower room which means in the mornings, the queues are very long although during the day, the pub toilets are open for use which is better. At weekends, the pub doesn't open until midday. There was a smell down the bottom end of the field which was quite unpleasant to smell. The ground is also very uneven and on a slight sloping hill, which can make things difficult. Overall, we did enjoy our stay but just wouldn't return.
Okay site

Nice site, grass is uneven but managed to find an okay spot. Option of using the toilets in the pub when it's open with is nice. Music at the pub was loud but as we were up late, it didn't bother us too much.

This was an ideal place for us to stay. It as handy for the Whichford pottery and for some good walking. The pitch was a little sloping although easily overcome with levelling blocks. The food in the pub was good and the beers well kept. Some noise from the waste transfer station next door,especially in the morning, nothing major for us.
Catered well for our needs

It's a simple campsite and worked well enough for us for a couple of nights. Staff/reception was very friendly and as helpful as could be, but didn't all have knowledge of the facilities and where to find them. Very handy having the pub right there with great food (dirty steak fries! Yum!) Nice play area for the kids, despite some of it being still under construction. For the shower, we had to go out onto the road basically; we didn't use it. No washing up facilities/sink. Unclear where to get drinking water. Unclear where to put the rubbish.

The site is at the rear of a lovely pub in the Oxfordshire countryside. Nice country walks from the site including the Hook Norton Brewery about 20-30 minute walk away. The pub serves good food and beer but no longer has the campers budget menu. The site has pitches with electric hook up but these are on a slope. The site is noisy at times being adjacent to the pub garden and backs onto a recycling centre that starts work early in the morning. The facilities are limited with one shower and two toilets for campers. There was plenty of hot water and the shower is a good size. It appears as though the owners are developing the site and its facilities which certainly have potential.
Nice site and pub

Nice site, still a work in progress. Pub is excellent with good food. Water and electricity to some pitches (check if you need it) levelling ramps useful for some pitches. This is our second visit and we will return. Notes that it's only 1 mile flat walk to Hook Norton brewery - a must see if you like the odd beer.

Great campsite for a sunny evening when you just want to relax in the country and not drive home from the pub after a pint or two of Old Hooky. Particularly good location if you are visiting the classic car rally at Hook Norton Brewery the following day and want a Sea Bream and Samphire with cheesy mash dinner treat.

Nice place, lovely food, friendly staff. Shame it's on a hill and needs a washing up area, but still a lovely stopover.
