Tobacconist Farm Reviews

Fantastic location

A great little campsite, well maintained with a clean and tidy toilet/shower block. Lucy the owner had put down marquee matting onto our pitch prior to our arrival because there was no grass due to the weather. This was a really nice thought and made our stay very enjoyable. Even the chemical toilet disposal area was equipped with disposable gloves and wipes. The site is in a great location to visit Stroud with its brewery and surrounding areas. All in all a great stay. Will definitely be returning.

The hidden gem

This campsite was home for 5 days. The place feels peaceful and relaxing but is only a 5 minute slow stroll the the centre of the village. Lucy, our host, greeted us on arrival and showed us our pitch, which was massive, as she has limited the amount of pitches, allowing loads of space and privacy. Lucy's recommendations and local knowledge was very helpful throughout our stay. Toilet/shower facilities were more than adequate for the site they were clean, well equipped and maintained. We will definitely be paying this hidden gem another visit.

Really lovely campsite and really clean

Lovely, really clean in the toilets and shower rooms. Lucy is really friendly and welcoming. There is a nice dog walking bit that she has that is great to walk around - great place to stay, having a washing machine, pegs and lines to dry is great, as we unfortunately had one of our dogs that decided that would be the time to have a poorly stomach, a lot of bedding to clean. Fridge freezer is great, was limited on space. Downside. The showers not having the ability to change the temperature and not being on longer, having to press the button every 5 seconds. Engaged bathroom/toilet system is a good idea, if people used them. Some adults did use them and some didn't, I'd say maybe a sign saying they need to do it might help these people with less common sense, as we had a few times where it was on engaged and rather than knocking first, they just pulled on the door and even when saying someone was in there, carried on pulling. I noticed from the start to the end of the holiday, a few things became broken, like a toilet seat. Door lock was starting to rip off, hand towel holder had cracked, like come on! Be respectful! You're all adults! It's an adult only campsite, there are no excuses! Most negatives are towards other adults. Place is very peaceful and quiet, when you get other respectful adults. On the Friday, some people were very loud up until 11pm. Thank you Lucy and all the hard work you do.

Fabulous stay!

On our arrival we were greeted by Lucy who was lovely. She showed us to our pitch and explained all we needed to know including all the facilities on the site and local attractions.

Campervan stay

A little mixed review really. Nice little village close by with a lovely pub. The entrance of the site doesn't look the best where (first impressions count) there were run down buildings. Not sure what they are used for. A mixture of caravans/converted horse boxes looking very much worse for wear. Once you drive past that, driving onto a open field was quite nice. We stayed at a few sites on our travels and found this site was the least well presented for facilities. Shower/toilet cleanliness was okay. Was it worth £40 a night? We don't think so.

Site's response

And not a single concern raised with me, just an unfair critique because you didn't think it was worth the money to pitch on my campsite in your van with electric and a dog, high season, in the Cotswolds, 5 minutes from a beautiful historic town. I'm so proud of my site.

Amazing stay

Quiet campsite surrounded by beautiful views. Lucy is an amazing host checking in every day to ensure everyone is happy, spotless facilities couldn't ask for more

Adult only site

We were met by, Lucy, the owner, who showed us to our pitch. Grass slightly sloping with electric. Privacy grass edging around each pitch, which was great. Large fridge freezer for campers use and free washing machine. Great pub in the town but a bit expensive. Only thing I would mention is the approach to the main camping area is a very scruffy and unkempt field full of very old and battered caravans or motorhomes. I feel this area needs fencing off or tidying up so as not to give such a bad first impression on entering the site. Other than that, I can't fault the rest of the camping fields.

Tobacconist Farm

What a lovely quiet site, for adults only. Was a great find, Owner was lovely and very helpful. Beautifully kept site, both the showers and toilets were spotless, would definitely stay there again.

Excellent

Great stay easy access into Minchinhampton and walks across the common.

Fantastic

Lovely quiet campsite with excellent clean facilities. Would highly recommend!

Quiet, spacious, close to town

Basic, but everything you need. we loved the spacious places and only a 5 min walk into a lovely little town

put this campsite on your list

We stayed for a long weekend at this beautifully basic but immaculately clean campsite. It is the most perfect solution if you want to feel isolated if you are 'all peopled out' The other campers were so friendly. It is so ideally situated for the bus routes & for hiking in the nature.

Nice quiet site, lovely clean facilities and friendly welcome

Little gem

Doesn’t look much at the entrance on the way in but lovely little site and Minchinhampton is a little gem

Great twelve nights

Don’t be put off by the approach to the campsite itself. Site owner Lucy is a real character on her scooter checking guests are happy. Where possible the site makes use of natural vegetation for privacy between the good sized pitches. Shower and washing-up facilities were very clean and there was a complimentary washing machine which came in handy. It is a few minutes walk into the centre of Minchinghampton with a pub and a few useful shops. Already looking at dates for next year as there was plenty more to explore in the area.

Lovely relaxed site

Tobacconist farm campsite is a stones throw from the lovely village of Minchinhampton. The owner is very friendly and the site well maintained. It's a small site so never a queue for the showers and the facilities were always wonderfully clean. The kitchen with fridge, kettle and power points was an added bonus. Definitely recommended.

The most relaxing campsite

Wonderful location great view so peaceful facilities first class so clean and wildlife amazing Lucy the owner so helpful the perfect camp so well thought out loved the donkeys the beautiful tree walks and birds Lucy’s knowledge of the hidden treasures to visit we had the best relaxing camp

Peaceful stay

We really loved our stay on Tobacconist Farm. The location is beautiful and peaceful, we enjoyed watching many butterflies and it was lovely to meet the donkeys. Lucy was super helpful and friendly and the facilities very good and clean. Just a short walk into Minchinhampton and it was all so charming.

Great Site.

Great site, great facilities, great host, Lucy.

Lovely stay

Perfect 4 nights break The campsite is one of the nicest we have stayed in & not overcrowded. Each pitch had lots of room, and was nice and flat. The showers were nice, clean and hot. Nice addition of the kitchen space with a fridge, freezer and washing machine. Would definitely recommend this site. The owner is a lovely lady and couldn't do any more checking to make sure everything was working fine, and stayed for a chat. The local village is only a couple of mins walk with a lovely pub and shop. Loved our 4 days and will definitely go back. Most people on the site were return visitors, which speaks for itself.

Mother and adult son in separate tents

Lovely site just a short walk from town with a lovely pub, shop and places to eat. All worth trying as excellent food. Owner of the site is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay again 😊

Little gem of a campsite

Really nice, little site in a nice, small town. Lucy was a lovely host, very chatty. Large pitches with a nice outlook. Very chilled atmosphere and quiet. Spacious pitches. Really impressed with the shower block and the nice little touches, such as bags at dog walk area, use of a BBQ/ fire pit and even gloves at the Elsan disposal point. Easy walk into town and friendly locals. Would love to stay here again.

Lovely site

Lovely site. Lucy is welcoming and helpful. Perfect site for dogs. Great location for good walks.

Great site next to the pretty village of Minchinhampton

A great place to stop for cycling the Stroud trailway and canal - provided you don't mind some serious hills! All doable on ebikes. The site itself provides mostly flat pitches with a pleasant outlook. The facilities are all good and well looked after, although quite a long walk if you are on the top pitches. Slightly annoying that you were asked not to drive to the Elsan point, which would have meant quite a long carry, so we didn't bother. Even more strange considering other vans had to drive past it to get to their pitches. Minchinhampton is a delightful village full of traditional mellow stone built houses in the typical Cotswold style. The Crown was great for food and the bakery in the square was excellent.

Site's response

I'm sorry you didn't mention this because I have a farm toilet near the entrance - you'd have been welcome to empty your grey waste in before you left.

Excellent

Lovely quiet campsite, short walk into town with a great pub, cafe and a few shops. Spent a relaxing couple of nights and Lucy made us feel very welcome
