Great campsite
VW-Type Campervan - Non-Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 This is one of the nicest campsites we've been to. Lots of nice little touches and the facilities were very clean. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely be back.
Site's response
We are a small independent site that aims to provide guests with a relaxing well spaced/resourced environment so that they can relax and unwind and enjoy what the beautiful Shropshire Hills have to offer, whatever the weather. We are an ideal base to explore/mooch around the many quaint historic market towns like Ludlow, castles, buildings, whilst enjoying the spectacular, and at times dramatic, scenery provided by the hills especially at Carding Mill Valley.
The herbs have proved a very big hit this year and we are pleased to see that more guests are using the recycling containers.
Thank you for your 5 star review and recommendation - we really do appreciate it and hope to see you again in the future.
Really nice
Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Aug 2023 Really enjoyed the August Bank Holiday weekend. Nice area, walked up to Founders Folly, which I recommend. Plenty of washing up areas, rent a chimnea, peaceful. Would return for sure.
Site's response
Flounders Folly is a lovely walk (takes about 50 mins each way) and if you have the opportunity to climb to the top of the tower, the views are even more magnificent than at the base of the tower.
We keep a small number of chimeneas that can be loaned out to the touring pitches - it is magical sat round a fire watching it get dark and the stars popping out - the fire also provides warmth now the evenings are drawing in and cooling off. The glamping pods have their own chimeneas outside.
We are in an area of low light pollution so we see many starry skies and a lot of shooting stars. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again in the future.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a nice review, it is much appreciated.
Our stay
VW-Type Campervan - Non-Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Great little site. Would definitely stay again.
Site's response
Thank for taking the time to leave us a 5 star review. It is much appreciated, especially as we are a small, independent site.
We hope to see you again in the future.
We are a rural site set mid way between Ludlow and Church Stretton. The rolling Corvedale Hills provide and ever changing back drop to the site and is beautiful whatever time of year you visit.
Great little Shropshire gem!
Single Axle Caravan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Aug 2023 Great little park - didn't use the facilities much as have own washing facilities in the caravan. Really well placed for local sites and a short, 25 minute drive to Shrewsbury.
Definitely would go again and definitely recommend!

Thank you for your review and recommendation - they are much appreciated.
Our toilet block consists of 4 individual bathrooms - 3 shower, toilet and sink, 1 shower and sink and we also have 5 individual toilets all accessed from outside and if the door is locked it means someone is already in there. The hairdryer and razor point are at the back of the toilet block so as not to clog up the bathrooms.
We also have 4 washing up sinks and a freezer for ice blocks.
We are situated mid way between the beautiful historic market town of Ludlow with a castle, museum, river, Mortimer Forest, independent eateries and shops and of course a market several days a week and Church Stretton with Carding Mill Valley and the long Mynd with its spectacular views, wild ponies and sheep and babbling brooks/streams.
There are miles of walking and cycling as well as many places to visit and experience like Much Wenlock, Bridgnorth, Ironbridge and its associated museums, which include Blist Hill Victorian Town.
Nice stay
Small Tent - Non-Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Nice campsite with good pitches and facilities. Nice town nearby with fish and chips and Tuffins - a great independent supermarket. Although voices could be heard in the early hours, the site was peaceful and overall we had a nice stay.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, it is much appreciated.
Tuffins supermarket is 1.8 miles away from us and stocks virtually anything you could possibly need - with food, drinks, pets, household, homeware, freezers, plastics, pound aisles, magazines, bakery, butchers and garden sections.
Craven Arms has an Indian and Chinese takeaway as well as the fish and chip shop.
We are a rural site and noise, even just 2 people talking, can carry at night. There were several small family groups on this weekend who sat out talking quietly whilst waiting to see the meteor showers predicted for midnight. We do monitor noise levels and request people keep the noise to a minimum after 11pm and make guests aware how sound carries.
We are an area of low light pollution so the stars can be magnificent with many being lucky enough to see shooting stars.
Excellent site
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non-Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 Very friendly, spacious and clean site. Good walks direct from the campsite, which is always a bonus with a dog. We didn't think much of Craven Arms, but there were lots of great walks in the area.
Site's response
We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and the walks in the area.
Craven Arms is a functional town with it's large independent supermarket, mainline train station, take aways, cafés and couple of pubs. It is not a pretty moochable market town like Ludlow but it does have the Discovery Centre with 30 acres of meadows, café and small exhibition including a short film of a drone flight over the area and the beautiful Stokesay Castle (English Heritage property)
We are equal distance between Ludlow a beautiful historic medieval town with a castle, St Laurence's Church, market days, independent shops and eateries', brewery, river and Mortimer Forest and Church Stretton and carding Mill Valley / Long Mynd.
Had a great time here
VW-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Hardstanding Touring Pitches Jul 2023 Had everything we needed and more.
Surrounded by beautiful countryside, lots of places to visit within close proximity to the site. Good local amenities.
Owners were friendly and helpful.
Site's response
We are glad you enjoyed stay.
Thank you for lovely comments - they are much appreciated.
We are situated midway between historic Ludlow with it's castle, river, market, independent shops and eateries & Church Stretton with Carding Mill Valley and Long Mynd.
There is plenty to do and see in the area and lovely places to eat.
Early July sunshine, then rain
Motorhome - Non-Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 Made very welcome by Jane and Brian, thank you. Reasonably quiet and level location with occasional road noise. Lots of local info and maps for walking etc, and facilities very good overall. Ludlow is a lovely place to visit, however wouldn't recommend Craven Arms.
Site's response
We are glad you enjoyed your stay and liked our facilities and information available on the local area.
Ludlow is about 9 miles away and has something for everyone to enjoy - castle, church, river, forest, market, independent shops and eateries, small museum, brewery.
Craven Arms is a functional town with Stokesay Castle and the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre on the edge of town s0 these often get overlooked.
Midway between Craven Arms and Ludlow is Ludlow Race course and the Farm Shop. In the farm shop complex is Ludlow Gin Distillery (which offer tours), Plant Centre, Kitchen, the Clive Arms and of course the food centre itself.
The Historic towns of Much Wenlock, Bridgnorth, Ironbridge, Clun, Church Stretton are not far away either.
We are also mid way between the larger towns of Shrewsbury and Telford.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
