Nice site and a good pub. Not much else there to walk to, but the Hook Norton brewery is a good place to visit.

Tricky site

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Grass PitchesApr 2024

There had been a lot of rain prior to our visit and the site was quite slippery and muddy. As it is also a pretty sloping site, levelling blocks are essential. It proved really difficult to get on to the blocks and get level, but of course the site can't be blamed for the awful weather we'd had! The other real problem is that the site is literally next door to a huge plant and skip hire yard. They start very early in the morning - just before 6.00am and the noise of the vehicles is really very intrusive if you're still trying to sleep! The pub is very nice although we didn't manage to eat there. The only day that would have suited us to eat in the pub, they were fully booked. The folks that run the pub (and also own and run the skip site), are lovely and very obliging. The facilities weren't great. The loo inside the pub, which most of the time was accessible, is fine but the other toilet and shower facilities are basic (putting it mildly). Whilst the value for money was ok, it's not a site that we will be rushing back to and I can only recommend it to very heavy sleepers, with all their own facilities, in good weather.

Lovely location

The location was ideal. Unfortunately, after all the rain, the field was really soft and having tried to get on it and got stuck, I ended up parking in the car park for the night. The washroom facilities were well used by others so it was a case of "only touch what is necessary". The pub itself had a great atmosphere and the food was amazing and they were more than happy to make any food choice as a takeaway.

Superb, friendly place to stay

Absolutely can't fault our stay here. Pub was awesome, superb food, great staff and felt welcomed the moment we walked in. Despite the wet conditions on the ground, they have done a great job. Thanks to Nigel for pulling us out 😀 Your family are an absolute credit. Try the brewery, castle, fine distillery and pottery pad. With in walking distance. Hook Norton is a fabulous village. Support local business and have a look.

Amazing

We found this last minute, and was amazed with the welcome. This family run site provided amazing quality food, good prices, and would go out their way to help or advise. We are definitely going back and would recommend to friends and family.

Absolutely wonderful pub, real ales and great food. Great landlord and hard working team - great service. Camping field was very wet due to weather so we were able to park in the car park which is quite large. Walking from the site is along country roads but not too far to Hook Norton with wonderful walks all around. Very peaceful at night and amazing clear sky to see the stars. Limited number of toilet/shower facilities and as the main camping loo is a shower and can get a bit of a queue when someone has a shower. Had a fabulous stay very dog friendly.

Great, simple overnight stop

We had confused our original booking in Moreton in the Marsh and had to find a pub stopover at short notice. This site fitted the bill perfectly. Katie couldn't have been more helpful and the meal in the restaurant was superb. We will definitely return, thoroughly enjoyed it 👍
