Why stay here ...

Rose and Martyn would like to welcome you to our sheep and arable farm set in the heart of the Cotswolds.

Set amongst open fields, away from the road and with open views, your only neighbours will be fellow caravan-ners' and maybe a few sheep. The farm attracts birds such as buzzards, red kites, wild ducks, pheasant and owls.

The level site is south facing and also sheltered from the north and all five plots have their own electric and mains water supply. Eggs from our free range chickens and ducks are available most of the year.

Watch the GWSR steam train in the distance trundle along the tracks from Toddington to Cheltenham. Both Toddington and Winchcombe Station are only a few minutes' drive away.

For those of you who would like to meet up with friends during your stay we also have a self catered "freight wagon" and run a bed and breakfast business from the Farmhouse. You can even join them for a full English breakfast in the farmhouse.

The area is a walker's paradise with the national trail of the Cotswold Way routed through Winchcombe. The new "Winchcombe Way" is a lovely trail with great views of local towns and villages. All can be accessed by our regular bus service from Gretton village or walk directly from here on one of the waymarked routes.

There are local golf courses or riding centres that we can recommend or perhaps a visit to Gloucester Rugby, Cheltenham Racecourse or the nearby famous Prescott Motor Hill Climb is more your thing (for competitors we have ample extra parking for trailers).

Visit the ancient Saxon town of Winchcombe and Sudeley Castle, Cheltenham Spa, Broadway or Stratford-upon-Avon. Why not visit some of the many National Trust properties in the area or for budding gardeners we have several public gardens to enjoy such as Hidcote, Seizencote or Batsford Arboretum. The choice is yours. 

Please note: Whilst we are happy to accept dogs as we are a working sheep farm, they must be kept on a lead at all times.

A great 5 days.

Elms Farm
Have just returned from Elms Farm Cl we stayed for 5 nights and my sons family came also. The entrance was excellent no worries with our double wheel base caravan. The overall width of the CL is a little tight but each pitch was well marked and the grass was really nice, short and lush. No problem using awning pegs and having fully serviced pitches was wonderful. Information hut was okay and the chemical toilet point was fine. Easy to access local towns etc. If up in the Cotswolds again would definitely use this site.

Lovely peaceful site

Elms Farm
Stayed here to attend an outdoor event which was cancelled due to bad weather. Fortunately this was compensated by being on this well kept and lovely location of this CL. The owner made us feel very welcome on arrival. The open aspect andvview over the russet fieldvto the wooded hillsidevin the distance made for a pleasnt stay. Nearby Winchcombe is a lovely olde world Cotswold town to browse and Tewkesbury a short drive away.

Excellent Cl

Elms Farm
We have just returned from a 8 night stay. It was just perfect our sister and brother in law joined us in the freight wagon which was excellent. It could not have been better we only had a few steps to visit them and them us. The views were amazing and the owners where so attentive. It was a five star service. We will certainly be returning.

One of the best

Elms Farm
Have just come home from a fortnight break at Elms Farm, one of the best CL’s that we have visited in over 40 years in the club. From the ease of booking, with their own website, to the high standard of facilities it couldn’t have been better. Waking up to the delightful view across to the hills with sheep in the foreground was a bonus.Owners very friendly made the stay. Access was easy and there was plenty to keep us occupied for two weeks with local Cotswold towns and sites. The Sunday morning cafe run by their son was great way to start the day. Definitely one for another visit.
