Quiet little get away.
Crofts Barn
We have just spent 2 lovely nights here. The site is beautifully thought out and immaculate. Its so peaceful and quiet here. Loved the added bonus of the Horse, Donkeys and Goats. Yes you pay a bit more than most sites but to us it was worth the cost. Thank you to our hosts for their warm welcome and recommendations of where to eat etc.
Lovely peaceful well designed site
Crofts Barn
Thank you to Stephanie for answering our phone call on Saturday afternoon when we were desperately searching for an alternative CL site after having to cancel our planned booking at another site! Easy booking system on line and an hour later we were parking up in our VW Campervan. Loved the well thought out design of the site, with beech hedges which gave privacy. Spotless toilet/ shower facilities, and appreciated the washing up area. Nice site walk planned out for you. Very peaceful rural location, couldn’t help noticing the beautiful mature Ash trees, hope they are still here in 10 years time and they don’t succumb to Ash Chalara. A very beautiful location, with plenty of walking opportunities on our next visit.
Worth the wait?
Crofts Barn
Crofts Barn has been on my "must visit" list for some time, it's layout is very different from the norm.
The booking in process was 1st class. Emails were answered promptly, the required deposit was sent by bacs, and two weeks before arrival we had a reminder that the deposit was due. A week later we had another communication giving us all arrival details, electronic gate code and where to find all the facilities with a plan of the site. All very efficient.
Our pitch was slightly sloping, because of heavy rain the day before we arrived it was not too easy to level up. The serviced pitch tap and grey waste were a joy to use. Crofts Barn is Adult Only, another big plus. This is what we were paying for, a heafty £30 per night, it has to be good.
At no point in our 5 night stay did we meet the owners.
That I find very odd.
The site and pitches are dominated by a self catering Safari Tent. The adjacent caravan pitches are very close, and as with awnings, a canvas sheet does not stop sound, spoken or other, from escaping. At gone midnight we could clearly hear the occupants enjoying their stay. We were not adjacent, it must have been grim for the two vans that were.
So,because of the Safari Tent, we would not return to Crofts Barn. If it was to be taken away or moved to its own location away from the caravan pitches, we would.
What a shame to spoil such an unusual CL.
lovely peaceful site with great owners.
Crofts Barn
Lovely site with unusual clock faced design for the pitches with means that you are not overlooked by other vans. The pitches are fully serviced and the shower and toilet facility was spotless. Easy access and lots of lovely places to visit close by. It is clear that the owners take pride in the site and they are very friendly and helpful.
Great CL
Crofts Barn
This CL is a lovely site in the beautiful Cotswolds, all pitches are serviced making it very convenient for water and grey waste, they are laid out in a circular fashion with hedges in between making the pitches feel very private, there is a nice dog walking area attached to the site, lovely walking areas, the site is quiet and well maintained, Stephanie was a great host ensuring we were aware of all we needed to know, and kept the toilet/shower immaculately clean and sanitised, the site was Covid compliant, we would not hesitate to return if we are in the area again and will certainly recommend it to our network of Motorhome/caravanning friends
