Why stay here ...
Purlbrook Farm site is set on open pasture land with superb southerly views across the Frome Valley and distant westerly views over Hereford City to the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons beyond. The pitches are enclosed by woodland and coppice to the North & East and are on a gentle slope with levelled/terraced hardstanding and grassed space for awnings etc. All are approached via a stoned road and each pitch has electrical hook up. There is a W. C. and usual waste disposal point.
The site is easily accessible being well set back from the A4103 and is a good base to explore Hereford City, with its Cathedral, Mappa Mundi Museum, etc. as well as the Wye Valley AONB. The popular market towns of Ledbury and Ross on Wye are nearby and the festival towns of Ludlow, Hay on Wye and Abergavenny are little more than half an hour away.
The site itself has direct access to local footpaths with glorious walks through mature deciduous woodland and over the local landmark of Shucknall Hill. There are three general stores within 2 miles, and pub/restaurant about the same distance. Hereford City is 5 miles away. The pasture field on the hill behind the site has a fire pit and barbecue area which visitors are welcome to use and enjoy even more extensive views over Herefordshire and The Welsh Marches.

Not THAT good…
Purlbrook Farm
Not sure why this site gets such rave reviews to be honest. We’ve had to stay here twice whilst having work done nearby on our van. The drive up from the main road is horrendous, pot holes and muddy, proper boneshaker. Yes the views are fab and it’s lovely and peaceful despite its proximity to the road, but the toilet is disgusting, no loo roll provided, no hand washing facilities, it’s not even cleaned. The pitches are all very uneven, at least spend some of the money you get levelling the pitches out. Yes the owner is friendly but it’s definitely a case of “money for nothing” in my opinion.
Lovely views, a great stop over
Purlbrook Farm
This site is just outside Hereford and has fabulous views. For the price, it was a great site for my 1 night stopover.
As noted on a previous review, the access road is a little rough and ready, but everything stayed in the cupboards 😊 I picked the flattest of the available pitches, but could really have done with levellers if I’d been planning on staying more than one night.
The main road is noticeable but not intrusive (I suspect unless you are a light sleeper!).
I Would stay here again, as someone previously mentioned, be prepared for the access road.

This site has fantastic views from the pitches and very good field for dog walks. The owner was very relaxed and welcoming. The access to the site is off the main road and is a rough track up the hill to the site. I would say you need to be prepared for this as it is unusual these days. Once on the pitch it is very nice view and well spaced out The main road is down the hill but is noticeable at night. I would return to the site but be ready for the bumpy ride up. Metered electrics but we did not exceed the daily limit. Good value.
Lovely site, easy access
Purlbrook Farm
We have just returned from a 5 day stay at this site. All pitches are hard standing and have a good electric supply. They are well spaced out. Handy WC, basic but clean. Views from site were lovely. Good walks from site. Owners were very friendly and welcoming. We paid £17 per night.

A lovely site set on a field away from the road. You can hear a bit of road noise but nothing too distracting. There are plenty of buzzards and other birds frequently around the site. The views are amazing. I was very surprised we were the only ones there for a few nights.
The entrance to the site is wide enough (a bit tight in places) but don’t let it put you off for a twin axle 8ft wide van. There are plenty of levelling blocks on site as it is sloping. The toilet is clean.
A good spot for exploring the area and there is plenty to see and do.
