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.

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, handy location. A simple site with basic facilities. Ground a bit uneven but great for a simple, overnight stop.

Absolutely amazing, everyone was so friendly and welcoming and the site was very dog friendly. Food was just perfect, couldn't ask for anything more, so homely.

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 👍

Being part of the pub is the best bit, the food there is great and good value. The site itself is basic, but that's what we prefer. Will definitely stay there again.

We couldn't have been more warmly welcomed into a beautiful and chilled park. It was really quiet and we ate every night at the pub attached as the food was so good. The shower wasn't wonderful (it needed a bit of a make over) but essentially we were really happy.

We have stayed here before so are returning customers and what an amazing place. I am really sad to hear Pete the landlord is leaving, will be a huge loss.

Nice little set-up with the camping field next to the pub garden. Modest facilities (1 shower room, 1 other toilet) but fine for the size and very clean and well looked after. Great pub with a decent menu and a welcoming staff. The only negatives were a lack of a washing up sink, a couple of overflowing bathroom bins (I know: minor!) and the need to clean up some dog mess next to our plot after some individual had misunderstood societal norms. Overall, would definitely recommend.

Very welcoming from all staff. Had a lovely fish and chips meal. The grass could have been cut sooner or shorter, as it was far too long. The 1 shower room was very tired and didn't give the impression of being that clean. The shower curtain put me off using it!

Uneven grass field with some electric hook ups. Toilets x2 and shower at rear of the pub. Clean and tidy. Pub is lovely with a great atmosphere and good food and local beers, which makes it an excellent place to stay.

A lovely place to pitch for a couple of nights. Staff in the pub are very friendly and willing to help if they can. The facilities are basic & not the cleanest but overall good value for money!

The locations good as a base for exploring the area. The toilet and shower were clean and modern. The cost for a pitch was great value. The real highlight was the pub, The Gate Hangs High. Friendly and helpful staff, excellent food - evening meal and breakfast - and good beer. A proper local with a friendly and down to earth atmosphere. Really enjoyed our stay.

Stayed for three nights on an electric pitch. We were the first there for the weekend, so got to pick our spot. We went for the corner shielded by trees as there was a storm coming! Field is clean enough, but facilities are basic. It doesn't pretend to be anything else so no issues there. The single shower was warm and clean enough, as was the single loo. You can use the pub loos during opening hours which were much nicer. It is next door to a recycling plant which was very noisy after 7am but I'd read the reviews so no surprises there, just don't expect a lie in. There is no facility to wash dishes, other than the shower room, but there is a cold drinking water tap. As a base, location is good enough, close enough to local villages, couple of pubs etc. not much nearby, so do your research. The pub itself is nice, fairly basic but charming. Nice beers and the food was really really good. Lovely beer garden too. Staff were nice enough, no complaints. Nothing for children, such as a park. Just plenty of grass area for games. On the whole, you get what you pay for! Stunning part of the country, basic site but cheap! Don't expect more than it tells you and you'll be fine!

We didn't use facilities, apart from the pub. Camping field was level in places, would recommend the electric hook up pitches, but the field seems back onto a waste collection site, so lots of noise within metres. Road also noisy. Pub gardens were nice and food OK. We would use it again for a night en-route somewhere else.

Thank you for your review. I do wish people that leave reviews read that we are next to an industrial site, not hiding anything. I can't do much about the road, apart from close them!

Easy to find on a main road, but far enough from the road to be safe for children. Would definitely stay again.

We had a non electric hook up pitch, plenty of space to choose from. We booked a table. Good choice of food and was very nice. Good choice of ale, cider and wine. Would recommend and will.

The friendly staff couldn't do enough to help. There was great food, we eat there again. We had a lovely time, sitting in the garden which was lovely. The shower and toilet were ok, just could be a little better, but they did what they needed to do.

Proper camping, minimum facilities, but it works. A lovely pub, the food is good and the host is charming. Only adverse comments are for the local council, there are no footpaths on the roads, which are busy and very fast, so dog walking is almost impossible. If they just cut the grass on the verges, it wouldn't be. All in all, a good weekend thank you.
