Why stay here ...
Gate Farm is a mixed farm worked by the present family for more than 50 years. Alongside a tributary of the River Blythe SSSI it is a haven for wildlife, including 10-acres of wildflower meadows.
The Caravan site is securely located in the centre of the farm with exceptional views across the valley and surrounding farmland and offers enhanced fully serviced hardstanding pitches, including electric hook-up and free Wi-Fi. Freeview and 4G reception are good. As it is close to Birmingham Airport planes pass intermittently, but at other times the site is peaceful.
The main entrance to the farm is secured with automatic gates which are operated by a supplied key fob.
The site is motorhome-friendly (maximum length 8.5 metres) and has ground-level disposal points. Dogs are welcome but, because there are farm animals here, dogs must be kept on a lead at all times. The adjacent footpaths provide pleasant dog walks direct from site.

Great location
Gate Farm
We stayed here twice last week to break our travel time, Tom and Nicola are always nearby to assist should that be necessary.
The site was full and most of us stayed in due to the terrible weather but we know that on sunny days the site and its surroundings have much to offer.
Hope the rest of the season your busy as it’s a site not to be missed.
Great place!
Gate Farm
stopped here for two nights en route home from Scotland, as we wished to visit Coventry. This is a really well-run site with friendly, chatty and helpful owners. Level serviced pitches and excellent facilities in a secure environment. The Dexter cattle made their presence known (from their barn), but that was all part of the fabulous environment of a working farm. Access to buses is really easy, as they pass the gate, but Tom, the site owner advised the service is now very limited, sadly. The railway station is a short drive away and there is plenty of parking. The car park has a height barrier, but there was plenty of room in the adjacent lay-bys for our rather large motorhome. The train is about three stops into Coventry and costs less than a fiver. If we ever venture this way in the future, we'd very happily stay here again and I recommend it.

Simple to book, easy to enjoy
Gate Farm
We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Gate Farm in our motorhome. Very easy to book on their website. All pitches are fully serviced and hardstanding. £20 metered EHU with 12 units of electric, any over charged at 30p per kWh. The aircraft were good to see and didn’t disturb our sleep. Information hut which had lots of walks from the site as well as numerous places to visit locally. Easy walk to Balsall Common and its Oakes farm shop. Cycled to Knowle on one of the provided routes, having a stop at Knowle Locks and cycling a little further down the towpath to the Black Boy, enjoying an excellent ploughman’s lunch. Welcome pack provided on arrival. Tap and drain on each pitch. Ground level Elsan which was so easy to use. Excellent bin facilities in a neat and tidy set up. Plenty to do around the area and an excellent base for nearby attractions. We will return and see more of the lovely area..
Excellent 5*
Gate Farm
We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Gate Farm CL. Booking was so easy and having chatted with Tom , i booked on their website where all information is provided ... Very easy directions and access to the very secure site for which you are provided with your own gate fob. All pitches are fully serviced as well as flat & hardstanding and have open views across the fields. As well as enjoying watching the sheep, new born lambs and other wildlife, we loved seeing the aircraft on final approach into Birmingham Airport and did not find the sound intrusive or disruptive to sleep at all .Very informative information hut which has books, DVDS and magazines also . There is free wi fi provided but we didnt need to access this as the 4G phone signal is excellent and great for hot spot sharing for Netflix etc . Lots of walks from the site as well as numerous places to visit locally
( Knowle, Kenilworth, Warwick etc ) For £20 per night inc 12 kw electric per night allowance was great value ..We chose to use more for our purposes and was happy to pay the additional 30p per kw surcharge . Absolutely superb site and credit to Tom & Susie.....We will be back regularly as we cant recommend the site highly enough . Perfect for us .
A Really Well Run CL
Gate Farm
Before reviewing the CL I thought I would let those people who are regulars know that Tom, one half of the ownership, has unfortunately passed away.
This was our first visit and I have to say that in all my years using CLs I have never been given more comprehensive instructions for arrival or for that matter information about the CL itself. Very professionally done and received with much gratitude. No need for me to expand of arrivals etc. Just read the documents sent to you upon booking. We paid a 1 night deposit and the balance 2-3 weeks before arrival. Your pitch number is allocated but all pitches are fine. Mostly flat with shale and stone as a base core with grass between pitches. Good room between them as well. All pitches are fully serviced, including an individual drain. No M/Home drive over grid that I could see. WiFi is included in the price. You'll have to log on each day. Fairly good signal, as was the phones for EE and Smarty. Electric is 16A but there is some metering. 12kw per day is allowed within your daily allowance but charged above that at the going rate for the farm, currently £0.50 per kw above the 12 allowed. Your meter is zeroed at the start of your stay and you fill in a form at the end showing your final reading. In Summer we used just over 5kw per day. Recycling bins. Elsan is at ground level into drains.
The site has a lovely rural vista and is generally a quiet place with one caveat. Namely the flight path for planes for Birmingham Airport. There is no escaping the fact that in Summer the frequency of them is greatly increased and disruption for light sleepers is inevitable. There are large parts of the day when no activity takes place at all. The CL was handy for getting to Coventry, Kenilworth, Warwick and we were also able to walk into Balsall Common from site. The owner provides walks and information with dog walks on as well. These also from site. A small information hut contains details. Unfortunately it seems the local "stop outside the CL" bus timetables are being altered at the end of August '23. These will now be just rush hour. Excellently placed for the NEC, there is a train station at local Berkswell for those not wishing to drive.
All in all a well run CL.
