From moment one, the place was brilliant, front desk are very friendly and explained everything well. Area was very nice and tidy, very quiet too despite being near a main road. The toilet facilities were incredibly clean. Overall, a fantastic experience and will definitely come back again!

Very easy to get to, at check-in in I was welcomed by a very friendly guy who told me the last time I had visited. Level well-kept pitches with drinking water nearby, and the toilet and shower block were heated with music. Bus stop right outside site. Overall, very impressed, will stay again.

This is an ideal site for us when we want a bit of a stopover, though I can certainly understand why people stay longer. The site is well laid out and the facilities are ample and clean. The welcome was warm and genuine and it was great to have bus stops nearby and somewhere to eat out or have a drink. We will no doubt come again next year as we travel up to Scotland most years. Lovely place and well protected from a good bit of the noise of traffic.

We were particularly swayed to stay here because we thought it would be a tranquil site. First off, everything else about the site was good, save for that description. The staff were great and the facilities were great. The location was an issue for us. The site is surrounded by very busy, noisy roads. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to get good sleep on either night. To walk dogs was also an issue unless you are used to walking on very noisy, busy roads. Personally we wouldn't come again.

Glad you thought our staff and facilities are great; sorry to read that our location didn't suit you. Just to clarify that we don't have a dog walking area on our park at present. However, there is a pelican crossing directly outside the park and it's a 5 minute stroll along the brand new footpath/cycle path to the fields. Here you will find at least 50 acres of open fields which are fenced in and perfect for your 4 legged friends to enjoy a yomp around. It's always worth a little look on google maps prior to booking to ensure the location will suit your needs. Jo Sanderson

Nice park. However, due to the location, it was very noisy as it is next to busy roads. Having said that, the location is ideal for cycling from the site and walking to shops so it handy in that respect. Very friendly owners and facilities were clean. The site was also well kept. Overall I would give it a B as it is not the owner's fault regarding road noise. Will probably return in future and would recommend.

We are already looking forward to returning to Briarfields. We were very happy with our pitch (no.8) we were shaded in the morning and able to soak up the sun in the afternoons. The shower block and washing up area were exceptionally clean and the water was hot at all times. The location was perfect for accessing Cheltenham and Gloucester by bus, with the stops just outside the site. There is a fixed price of £2 for any single journey (at the time of writing) which is cheaper than buying a return and much easier than driving yourself. As other reviewers have said, there is some road noise and we were probably best placed to hear it, but it didn't bother us at all. After all, you can't be on the edge of a very large town and expect deep country silence. The site is near to Gloucester airport so expect light aircraft to over fly from time to time. Again, we didn't find this overly intrusive. Personally I liked watching the small planes flying over. There are a number of shops very close to the site, including an Asda superstore and an Aldi. I cycled to them on two days and it's just a few minutes, perhaps a ten to fifteen minute walk. This was handy for picking up fresh ingredients instead of bringing everything with us. The owners clearly work very hard to keep this site in great condition and were great with giving us instructions for a slightly late arrival. We are very happy customers!

This site was very convenient for Cheltenham, Gloucester and surrounding villages. It’s suburban location means that you don’t get the views but that’s not why we chose it. The staff were helpful. The facilities were good being well maintained and clean. Pitch was a good size with hedges either side. Would visit again

Just off the M5 junction 11 so easy to get to. There is a little road noise, but did not bother us or the dog. It was so lovely and clean with decent size pitches. We have a VW Transporter and an awning, and the pitch was great. Great to see other places too, we used the bus which stops nearby into Cheltenham and Gloucester.

Nice clean site, good pitches, toilets and showers are spotless. Bit of road noise but nothing drastic. Reception very helpful, we were placed on a pitch under a tree on the sunniest weekend of the year, had a word with reception and he moved us to a sunny pitch which kept the wife happy 😂 Would definitely recommend.

Would highly recommend as a base to visit Cheltenham, Gloucester and the Cotswolds. Really clean site and friendly staff. Location not fantastic if you're in a motorhome and have no other transport, however bus stops are right on the doorstep and buses are very frequent. Close to M5 & A40 and Gloucester Airport but wasn't in the slightest bothered by the noise. Interesting array of light aircraft flying over the site. No shop, but Asda is only 10-15 minutes walk away - as is Harvester & KFC.
Site's response
Thanks so much for your comments Julian...our team really appreciate your kind comments. Just to pick up on one of your comments; we think our location is perfect for motorhomes due to the buses being right outside the park running 24 hours a day to both Cheltenham and Gloucester; from there you can easily go further afield to the Cotswolds, Tewkesbury, Cirencester etc.
Excellent

The toilets are excellent, and buses into Gloucester and Cheltenham every 20 minutes. A bit of traffic noise. Harvester is just across the road, about a 5-minute walk using the underpass.

This is really lovely site - very clean and tidy and beautifully laid out. If you are out and about each day, it's the perfect place to park up. Quiet it is not due to major road works, which I have been told will last another 6 moths, and the light aircraft doing training landings and take off most of the day. However, this is out of control of the owners, who are great and do their best to make you very welcome.
