VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesMay 2025

We could not believe we spent all evening in the pub, come Sunday morning, there was no breakfast served = unbelievable! 8 of us hungry. By the time we had all wrapped up, there was no time to find anywhere else :( The disabled, baby changing and shower is in one room. Being disabled, I am not too quick with things. I came out to find a big queue waiting :( Embarrassing. Drinks prices are top heavy.

Good location

Motorhome - Electric Grass PitchesMay 2025

The expected grass pitch had been changed to hard standing with a large area of newly laid stone which, although would be useful in wet weather created a fairly 'industrial' appearance. The site is situated next door to a waste transfer site which was quite noisy, but this was not in use over the weekend. Toilet and shower facilities were very basic but we were aware of this at booking and it was reflected in the reasonable pricing. Dining in the pub as a pre booked group was slightly marred by unprepared tables and a slightly restricted menu but overall, staff were friendly and helpful. Although we had not been made aware of a live music event when booking, it enhanced the evening for our group.

Erratic but pleasant enough

Check in: member of staff was pretty rude (sat lunch time) and pretty clueless on a simple question about getting water. Have been visiting few years now and the improvements are brilliant a far cry for the place 6 years ago. Busy pub, which is nice to see, but the very loud music pumping into the garden and even worse, the same Sony on loop! It's not a quiet, read a book site now. By erratic, I refer to the 2 same 4x4s speeding in and out, causing a dust bath to everyone multiple times day (10 times each). Bizzare behaviour. Play park a lovely addition, nice to see families out enjoying themselves. Would definitely return but would stay on grass pitch out the way.

Lovely one night break

Lovely site, very relaxing. Beautiful pub and lunch was amazing. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. The only thing thing that let's it down is only having 1 shower and toilet.

A pleasant place to stay

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesApr 2025

Lovely spot right next to the pub, slightly sloping field but wasn't a problem for us. You can park next to the tent which is a bonus. Clearly a lot of money spent recently on the pub and the site. The pub is lovely, dog friendly and great value. Currently only one shower and toilet (+ toilets in the pub), but they are working hard on changing this and are currently negotiating the usual Cotswolds planning challenges. No queue for the shower or toilet during our stay. It's about a 25 minute walk into Hook Norton (brewery is worth a visit!) and despite being next to the road there's very little traffic.

Pleasant pub stay

The Gate Hangs High is a lovely pub and very central to visiting pretty villages and towns. The owners are very friendly and helpful, and the grass and hard standing pitches are level and very tidy . Would definitely recommend.

Nice place

A very nice site, work in progress for camping, all facilities there, working well and very clean. Quite simple but good. Great pub with excellent food. Excellent service. Local colour - very much a country pub.

Really good site, staff very friendly

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesApr 2025

The views are stunning, upon arrival was told no need to check in, just go set up anywhere we like. Ground was lumpy bumpy, hard to get a good bed level. Single toilet shower block, when accessible as busy, was dirty. Floor was disgusting and location was right at the top of the site so had to walk a far way in the dark as no lighting provided, but the shower was hot and powerful.

A hidden gem

A really good stop over site - plenty of pitches - facilities are basic but the price is very reasonable. The staff in the pub were excellent - Charlie was brilliant, helping us to sort out a takeaway (the kitchen was closed the night we stayed).

The site is still in the making, a lot of work needs to be done. No toilet block, waiting for planning. Ground very uneven, one toilet block with one toilet shower. One water tap. The beer in the pub is expensive, £4 for a pint of shandy. A man and his wife, G&T and a pint was £11. Did not try the food, no menu on the table.

Lovely stay in site and pub

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesApr 2025

The site was above our expectations, we were all very impressed with the site and the pub the kids loved the play area. The site was quiet and not crowded. The pub was clean well stocked and the beer was (hookey) was excellent. My only criticism would be the lack of available toilets and showers outside pub opening hours. Some of us will be returning soon.

Just perfect

Great 2 day stay, peaceful and clean. Host couldn't have done more to make our stay perfect. The pub had a great atmosphere and served really delicious food, which meant we never cooked ourselves.

Our second visit and won’t be our last!

Great time again spent here - really good value for money. Everyone really friendly. Site access excellent and left to use common sense on where to pitch which is lovely. Our second time and we would be back again!

Great value for money, location and lovely pub onsite

Great location, walks that start from the site if you want to do that. Walkable to nearest villages (inc. pubs, shops etc.) Spoilt for choice of places to go and things to do if you're happy to jump in the car for 20 minutes in any direction. Lovely views of the countryside. Great pub, good service. Basic facilities but clean and advertised as such so no surprises. Work underway to modernise the site and facilities so will only get better. Great value for money, would definitely return.

Lovely campsite

Had an amazing stay here last weekend with friends. Great site, lovely home cooked food in the pub and very attentive bar staff. Met the owner, Nigel, who was very approachable and friendly. He invited us to a private party on the Saturday evening which was a lot of fun. Only thing to point out is I thought the size of the single shower room could have accommodated an extra shower. Would definitely go back.
