Why stay here ...
We look forward to welcoming you to our lovely CL Bridgefield.
Our CL is on a small holding in a quiet rural setting. You are surrounded by an area of outstanding natural beauty at the gateway to the Cotswolds, yet close enough to all the amenities you could need.
All pitches are in a field and are all lawned. They all have electrical hook up/space for awnings/car and a water supply. We do have 2 areas that are concrete where in exception weather conditions we can use as pitches.
The Shetland Ponies (Maisie and Dotty) love apples or carrots. The chickens are very nosey and will come and see you. They follow the Cockeral (Big Kev) around all the time. From end of each June onwards just ask if you would like to see the Turkeys.
Our site will make an excellent base to explore the surrounding area. Chipping Norton is the Gateway to the Cotswolds it is an old Market Town. There are a varied array of individual shops, café’s, Restaurants and Pubs. It is a lovely walk into town for the active is it just about a mile.
You are in an area of outstanding natural beauty and very close are Stow on the Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, Broadway, Moreton in Marsh. If shopping is your thing then Cheltenham and Oxford are approximately 40 minutess away.
There are great fishing/golf in the area within a few miles, information can be found in our Tourist Shed.
We have great walks with the quaint village of Salford (with a great village inn that serves local beers and fantastic bar food) just ¼ mile up the road. Along side our site is a great trail.
There is a great park which we call "the common" for the children with swings/slides/football etc.
If you need any further questions answered before you book then please don’t hesitate to contact Mandy.
All dogs welcome.

A secure base for relaxing holiday
Bridgefield
Just had 10 days on this CL.
The site is nicely equipped with what you expect to find on a CL. Ian cuts the grass regularly, so it really is a nice field to make camp on. The power supply is fine, and 3 taps provide convenient access to water while allowing campers to spread about in the field. There's a waste bin, glass, and other recycling. A compost bin would be handy for vegetable waste. Mostly quiet although, as others have said, you can hear odd boy racer but mainly during the evening or weekend. Strong winds were forecast during our stay and while the tall trees in the distance were flailing about, the site itself is well protected with very little noise from the wind. There are no overhanging branches either so nothing to worry about there. The site is also protected by an electrically operated gate. Don't hesitate to ask Mandy if you need more than one means of opening the gate. She seemed happy to oblige. With Mandy and Ian also on site most of the time, your rig feels safe when you leave it for days out.
The layby provides a low stress approach to the site allowing you to depart the A44. If you're pulling a twin axle or larger camper, take the turn onto the site nice and wide to avoid clipping the curb. All easy enough if you take your time.
We have a dog and I like to run. There's a public footpath adjacent to the site and quiet local roads nearby so we were both happy. I stored a few routes on OS Maps.
Also happy were the ponies. Getting on in their years, they were not charging about but certainly seemed content.
A lovely CL and a little cheaper than many others nearby.
Nice site, shame the owners don't look after the ponies
Bridgefield
This is the second review I have left (see the one titled bunnykins). The site was nice but the ponies looked a far cry from the picture shown on the website. They were certainly much thinner and their mane and tails much longer and unkempt. As previously stated, one of the ponies had curled up hooves and was crippled with pain. I and another customer on the site voiced our concerns and I am pleased to say that the owner did call in the farrier. However, I do not feel they took it seriously and I fear that the ponies will still be at risk . The water trough was filthy and the hay rack filled with black hay that had clearly been there a long time. There was very little grass on the field. No supplementary food was given that we saw in the 8 days we were there. I have reported my concerns to the RSPCA. Please, if you use this site, please check on the ponies and in particular, check their feet.

Lovely little CL site with EHU on each pitch and one tap shared between 2 pitches. We attached an adaptor to give 2 outlets from the one tap thus making the pitch fully serviced (owners are happy for grey water waste to run in hedge bottom). The pitches are on a slight slope so chocks may be required. Security is good, electric gate accessed from your mobile phone. The only gripe I have, and it's a big gripe as I am an animal lover, is that the two Shetland ponies on site are not cared for. The water trough is filthy and I have not seen the owners attend to them at all. Worst of all, one of the ponies is crippled and can barely walk as she has clearly not seen a farrier in years. Her hooves are curled up and she is clearly in pain. I will be speaking to the owner about this before I leave.

Beautiful little site, hosts were very welcoming, it was lovely and clean. We had lovely chickens a cockerel roaming free and 2 miniature Shetland ponies, which were beautiful and friendly. We would certainly recommend and will definitely stay again.
Long Weekend
Bridgefield
We have just stayed at Mandy & Ians CL site 07-11/07/22. This is a beautiful CL with grassed pitches on a gentle slope in places, so chocks might be needed. Water and EHU on each pitch, all nicely spread out. Stones throw from Chipping Norton (5 mins in car). Chickens are free range and appear randomly, all very well behaved and no problem. Mandy & Ian were friendly but not imposing, meaning you can just get on and relax. Yes you can hear the road but only when the odd car/bike goes by with a noisy exhaust. It didn't bother us, we just sat back and relaxed, nice and quiet in the evenings and during the night. As others have said - no facilities but you won't be disappointed if you are happy to use your own shower/toilet.
We will definitely be returning. Many thanks to Mandy and Ian
