Immaculate CL
Crofts Barn
We stayed here over the Bank Holiday, all communication prior to (and after) arrival was good with a comprehensive information sheet on the do/don'ts before our arrival.
The whole site is immaculate, well mown areas, the facilities were very clean and tidy. Two toilets/showers although we didn't use them but had a peak and they were spotless, as was the dishwashing area for the campers who were pitched in the adjacent field. The layout for the CL users is in the shape of a clockface plus one safari tent. The fully serviced pitches were a good size although you have to park your car in the separate (close) car park, all divided by hedging. Entry to the site is via a secure gate with keypad. There is not a dedicated dog walk, however plenty of room to exercise your dog on lead. We found the site to be very quiet, especially at night, the silence only broken by the flagpole when the wind picked up. A pleasure to talk to the goats who came over for a head scratch. There are a choice of farmshops to visit in the local area which enabled us to stock up on some essentials, can recommend Wykham Farmshop close to Banbury with its large butchery and other supplies. It is clear that a lot of pride is taken with this CL, its definitely one we would return to, we enjoyed our stay here.
nearly there
Crofts Barn
This is the best CL site we have ever used, lovely walk around site, great Local Pubs, ideal for day trips out to the Cotswolds.
But don't tell everyone, we don't want it to get to busy.
We will be back,,

Peaceful surroundings
Crofts Barn
We've just returned from a lovely 4 nights at Crofts Barn in our motorhome ... This peaceful site is run by Stephanie and her husband, who are always on hand to help or answer any questions. The whole site is immaculate and grounds well kept. The toilets/showers are clean and hot water always available. We enjoyed feeding the 4 very cute goats! There are 5 large pitches in a circle, each secluded by hedging, so you're not overlooked by the 'neighbours'. There is camping field which is separate to the touring pitches. Majority of the local pubs are closed on Monday & Tuesday, we ordered a yummy Indian delivery with no problem and came on time! There is a local butcher about 3 miles away and can highly recommend their Pork Pies, Scotch Eggs, homemade Sausages and all the meat we bought for BBQ was lovely. The local pub opens at weekends, but we visited midweek, so needed our tow car to go further afield for pub food and local shops. There are quaint surrounding villages. Would definitely return to this tranquil site and a lovely part of Oxfordshire - thank you Stephanie for making us feel welcome - highly recommend Crofts Barn 5*
Peaceful Break
Crofts Barn
We were due to stay for the Bank Holiday weekend. The site was so peaceful with beautiful sunsets and the facilities always really clean.
After a lovely few days it all went wrong as our dog was taken seriously ill. Thanks to the information board we had a local vets details and were able to get him treated.
It was touch and go and involved 48 hours in the veterinary hospital but we have him back and fingers crossed he's on the mend.
I can't thank Stephanie and Wayne enough for allowing us to extend our stay. Stephanie also kept in touch to see how Shelby was doing.
I can't recommend this site highly enough, we will definitely be back 😀
