Gopsall Hall Farm Reviews

Lovely staff, pitch and area

Lovely site, staff and area! Farm pub great and entertainment brill. Just very noisy when it's meant to be quiet time. Loud music banging out at 11:30 last night, adults shouting. Quiet time 9:30pm. I know people away enjoying themselves but music blaring until 11:30 ish is a bit disrespectful to other campers.

Site's response

Thanks for the overall positive review :-) That is a shame to hear about other customers. We are taking extra measures to encourage people to be quiet at night, including extra warden checks. We do advise people to get in touch with us if they are being disturbed during their stay so we can resolve there and then. Thanks again!

Very noisy site

For what we want to get out of camping, this is the worst site we've stayed on. The main problem is that the site owners aren't honest about what sort of site it is. We went as a group of 3 families with 4 children under 7 but the site is definitely aimed at adults and teenagers. Despite the campsite rules saying that there mustn't be noise after nightfall, the onsite pub and a lot of other camper continued to play loud music until midnight. I tried contacting the warden on the supplied phone number but didn't even receive a response. I get that some people want to party when they go camping but I'd researched the site before going and there was no mention that this is what the site was aimed at. I even read a review response from the site owners saying that that element was separate and at the pop up pub but that was only a few metres away, so the noise quite obviously carried throughout the site! I would not recommend this site to families with children under 10. The pitches were also very close together - the site even wedged in an extra tent next to us which wasn't on the site map?! On the plus side, if you're interested in loud music whilst camping, the toilet and shower facilities were good and clean. The surrounding countryside was also nice. There's a nearby ice cream cafe called Dreamy Cow which was well worth a visit.

Site's response

Hi Jo Many thanks for the feedback. We try to make the campsite suitable for all but recognise it is hard to please everyone. With our onsite play area (which we are not advertising) and football pitch, plus wooded areas, the farm is an amazing place for children (and we have incredible feedback). The concept of the farm pub - which people love - is to keep noise away from the campsite (i.e. groups of friends). The live music ends at 10pm and then we turn it down. The Farm Pub is some distance away from the campsite (>100m) but can be heard from the campsite subject to the act playing. Often it's just faint background music. Steps we are going to take: 1.) Remind campsite guests of the noise rules: we do state this in our information packs and rules next to reception already but can repeat. 2.) Ask our warden to do more checks 3.) From this weekend we will have 2 additional wardens onsite so we will ask them to conduct site walks in the evening to make sure the rules are being followed Thanks again for the feedback and sorry again that it wasn't right for you.

More than just “camping” but noisy

Great campsite if you want more than your standard camping experience. Facilities are amazing as you get proper toilets and showers with hair dryers and mirrors. Great areas for kids. The pitches are well sized and signed posted and great signage around the site. Bonus of a bar and pop up pub and food stalls. But because of all these extras, you then get a lot of noise, music and drunken shouting at 3am. Every night there were mini parties around the camp site. Didn't appear to be a curfew or anyone patrolling. Overall, a great campsite if your looking for more of a "party/social" campsite, not great for those who value sleep and have activities planned. Would still return but for a different camping experience!

Hi Samantha, many thanks for the great review. Regarding the "party/social" aspect - this is not something we want the campsite area itself to be and is why we have a noise curfew at 9pm, and is why we have the farm pub etc as a place to go and make noise without disturbing guests. Thanks for the feedback as we will implement more regular warden checks (we do have a warden who stays overnight). Thanks!

Absolutely amazing place to stay

Lovely place to stay. Everything you need on a site. Nice and clean. Toilet area is done with a high spec. The pods and Tepee looks fun, may have to try it out!

The best campsite I’ve visited to date!

Honestly, blown away! Stunning from start to finish. We will be back :)

Wonderful stay

We all had a lovely time camping at Gopsall Hall farm, staff were very friendly and helpful even kept the kids entertained at one point 😁. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely site

Lovely site with facilities and a bar. The showers however are push button operated so the temperature cannot be adjust and get pretty hot, they are also attached so the height cannot be changed making it hard to shower kids. Everything else was nice.

Site's response

Many thanks for the review :-) We wish you had mentioned the shower heat whilst staying and we could have tweaked. Thanks!

Great place

Nice, quiet location with walks easily accessible from the site.

Brilliant

Absolutely brilliant, very clean, very friendly and all round lovely place. Will definitely be returning, thank you!

Exceptional

Really enjoyed it here. Pub is great. Toilets and showers are clean and smart. Even my picky mother in law likes it, so it must be good!

Short break

Great little site, everything feels fairly new and well looked after. The Gopsall Inn was incredible, live music, street food. It had a lovely vibe 👌🏻

Great facilities

Unfortunately, we had horrendous weather and had to leave early, but the campsite was great! Really nice toilet and shower facilities, and great on site pub with live music! Would definitely go back, just hope for better weather or a more waterproof tent next time!

Country camp

Camp was lovely but showers and toilets not cleaned all weekend - we stayed Saturday till Tuesday and no sign of cleaners. Also, shop wasn't open most of the time.

Not helped by the weather

We had a great welcome at reception and were helped out when we realised our electric hook up cable was too short (it's one electric hook up post per 2/3 pitches, so you'll need an extension). Admittedly this was our first time on a hook up pitch and to be honest, we found the pitch very small (this might be the norm?) The instructions we were sent prior to arriving were a little confusing (in our opinion), so we ended up having to move our tent after we'd put it up, which was annoying. The toilet facilities were spotless on the Saturday, but unfortunately they got progressively worse over the weekend. A noisy family group spoilt our first night, the second night was better but I did have to contact the warden about the same group who were slightly less rowdy, but still playing loud music at gone 10pm. You are under the flight path of planes leaving East Mids, so if you're a light sleeper, you'll struggle. The weather was so bad we didn't do any exploring, but saw lots of people off on walks. The pop up pub was great (but expensive), but our kids were bored after one drink so unfortunately we didn't get to stay there long. Overall it was ok, but I'm not entirely sure we'd return.

Fantastic stay

Beautiful site and scenery. Staff were very accommodating and helpful and new shower block was fantastic. We will definitely be back. My one suggestion would be you have a pub that is open on a Saturday. Everywhere around our caravan was barbecuing set your own barbecue up. Hook up with the butcher that is advertising right outside your drive and offer your guest a barbecue in the summer.

Excellent stay

We found the site to be in a beautiful area with first class, high end facilities. Superb bathrooms and shower with hot water. There were some noisy guests in site with music and loud singing late at night, we contacted the reception number at 22:40 and they responded quickly and dealt with the situation with minimal fuss. We packed up Sunday morning following a heavy down pour that lasted all night, the staff were happily providing a free tow to any cars that were stuck in the ground. We will happily be returning!

Two night stay at Gopsall Hall Farm

We stayed in a tipi with our granddaughters. The tipi was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The outside kitchen was also far better than we imagined. It had full kitchen equipment. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The whole site was spotless and well kept. We would definitely be coming back!

Lovely, clean and quiet

Very tidy place, a couple of nice walks. Site was tidy and well looked after. Facilities for electric hookup users were very clean and nice smelling. For non electric users, facilities were basic, but clean. Go prepared as no shops local. Closest was about 20 min drive away, but there is a farm shop pretty close for food.

A really pleasant site

Excellent facilities, always warm water and clean toilets and showers. Our second visit this summer. We might well come again next year! Really nice area. Came with our grandchildren and it was very convenient for visiting Twy Cross Zoo. Nice roomy site, great for children to run around.

Lovely spot, close to zoo!

Couldn't be more helpful! We all had a great stay and will definitely be back again. Thank you!

Family site

Gopsall Hall Inn was brilliant. The female showers required more frequent cleaning, as younger campers would use the facilities without supervision. The spacing between pitches was very close, some of the dogs around the site were left to roam free and created some tensions with others that had their dogs on a lead. Site overall was well maintained and tidy.

Stay at Gopsall Hall Farm, wet but still great

Great site. Enjoyed it despite the weather!

Lovely site with rustic charm

Nice weekend stay at Gopsall. We can see the effort the owners have put into it and its long term potential. The pop up bar with singer was fabulous. The pods and Tipis looked amazing. Site is easy to get to and well located. Pitches were a good size. Large space for the kids to play football and games. It was nice being on a farm. There are a few little things that would help. Some squeegee mops in washblock to clear the water left in changing space in the showers. The water point could do with an overhaul as I had to straddle a large puddle and some mud to fill our water carrier. A few more washing up sinks would also help as we had to queue at times. I’m sure this will all be sorted in time and it wouldn’t put me off a return visit.

Lively weekend

Great location from Birmingham. Excellent facilities and the pop up pub was great. The camping field did feel a little tightly packed, especially as a couple of larger groups had multiple cars.

Lovely campsite

Lovely campsite with 20 electric hookup pitches. Our cable didn't reach so they bought out an extension. It's details like that that made them exceptional. The site is very comfortable with a brand new shower block building and the best showers you'll find away from home. They also have pods and tipi's. We will be using them again. Highly recommended.
