We can wholeheartedly agree with the review by Trelownan regarding Bearse Farm. We arrived at soon after 1.00 on a Monday and whilst setting up we were warned by the people next door about the road noise and the noise from the dog agility. The whole site is on a slope which if you are in a Motorhome it is not so much of a problem than in a caravan. We pitched the normal way round and found that the front of the caravan was quite literally about 3’ in the air. That was with the corner steadies fully extended and on 3 blocks! The awning didn’t really come to the ground so was useless. Eventually someone walked by with a dog and after enquiring where they had come from they told us they were the owners of the site. That is the only contact we had the owners on site. It was suggested to us to turn the van around 90 degrees which we did. Trouble is the water pipe didn’t reach the Aquaroll and the waste pipe was running up hill to reach the drain. The awning fitted but was facing the road which was extremely noisy day and night. We had stayed at the Club site in Newport and that was much quieter and more peaceful than this site even when Newport was full. The gate was never locked in the 4 days we were there. We got told off by the dog agility person for getting too close and upsetting the dogs on the course. People waiting to do the agility courses were waiting at he back of the empty pitches so it wasn’t private. When we booked we looked at the agility calendar there was only one session but when we were on site and checked the whole of our time we were there was booked up with agility courses. If we were staying any longer we would have moved from here to another site. The directions to the site ought to be changed so that you approach from the Lydney direction as opposed to the St.Briavels direction. It’s a much better route and not so narrow and windy. The area is beautiful and we will go back but not on Bearse Farm.

Yes, we totally agree with everything said by Dupton. As far as the dog people telling them off for being too close and upsetting, the dogs, what a cheek, they are on the C L site. We we in our awning and one collie was actually barking at our dog who was sat quiety, mindling her own business. Bearse Farm should not have a C L site if they don't want caravanners to move about in the area in front of the caravans. There is definitely not enough space between the caravans and the agility field. They should choose one or the other and have either agility or caravans. Maybe choose dog agility as they make as much noise as the road.
