Peaceful
Colden Common Farm
What a lovely site, small but so lovely and peaceful, the bird song in the morning was wonderful. The owners Mr Gray and wife were Lovely they were extremely helpful and so accommodating. The sheep in the adjacent field were fun to watch. Only here for a couple of nights but will be back next year, with my sister and brother in law and our friends. Thank you for a lovely restful weekend, we will be back.
Ideal for the local tourist spots
Colden Common Farm
This is a small CL, the photo reflects accurately, and facilities are easily to hand. A welcome notice board gives you all the information you need and a note on the house door gives more information and a phone number. Access is very easy but be warned that the site signs are not very visible from the road, (the trees have grown since Google Earth street view was taken). Turn immediately after the bollard. Site has a field view on one side only and there are trees on the other three which gives wind protection but limits the sun. We found during the day the site to be noisy, entirely from neighbours going about their normal business. Road noise was minimal. Site’s position is excellent. Bus routes nearby and easy drive to the park and ride. Weekday parking in Winchester is very expensive but free on Sunday.
Ideal layout.
Colden Common Farm
Only stopped for one night. Well laid out, all utilities easily found. Owner very helpful.
This is a working farm, sheep were just behind the CL. We may have been lucky as the sheep seemed to like watching me set up and prepare to leave.
We used as a stop off to Wickham Festival.
Thank you Jenny.
Great Site for a visit to Winchester
Colden Common Farm
We had an enjoyable 2 night stay in early June '16. Directions from J 11 on M3 were clear, and the welcome warm.
Although slightly smaller than some, this grassed CL has a secluded feel with a special "on-the-farm" character. It is pretty well level, save for certain corners which have a gentle cross-fall. All services are there and work well. To the east there is a pleasant outlook across sheep pasture to countryside beyond. The north and south boundaries are tree lined, and much birdsong can be heard as a result. Access from the B road passes through a cluster of agricultural buildings. The CL being some way back from the road, traffic noise is insubstantial.
Bus access to Winchester is excellent - walk towards Twyford for 300 meters, and at the first set of traffic lights turn left into Spring Lane. The relevant bus stop is about 50 meters on the right. Bus number 69 runs hourly.
We'd certainly stay again!
