Liked: This is a wonderful secluded site within a short drive to the Forest of Dean. Colin was an excellent host - thanks.
Beds were comfy, tent was clean and well stocked. Nice isolated walks along the river and waking up to birdsong along the Severn a particular highlight.

Bell tent (four person, no pets)
Liked: We absolutely loved our stay. Beautiful and quiet area. Our tent was lovely and clean ; small touches like lantarens and fairy lights made it really cozy. Beds were extremely comfortable, I wish I had mattress like this at home ;)
Kids had fun playing on site as there was plenty space for kids to roam around without disturbing anyone. Extra games that we could borrow were a bonus. Clean and modern toilets/showers/kitchen.
Perfect place to enjoy Cotswold area.
Disliked: Non

Liked: Just the most gorgeous, peaceful getaway spot. Jay was super helpful and the facilities were fine - basic but clean and as advertised. Only gripe was that we were only overnighting!
