Another great stay

We enjoyed this lovely CL so much when we visited earlier this year that we just had to return, this time for an 8-night break. Lovely countryside location yet very easy access to Abingdon, Dorchester and Oxford. Nature all around including the mew of the kites overhead, the gentle tapping of woodpeckers, the sight of geese in flight, it’s all there. From the warm welcome to the fond goodbye we enjoyed every minute and look forward to returning. As the Club’s advertising says about CLs this one really is a “hidden gem offering picturesque solitude away from the crowds that are exclusively for our members.”

Stayed 6 nights. Enjoyed every minute

Booked last minute & were lucky to get 6 Nts. Easy access to site through security gate, we rang Nicky when 10 mind away & she stood at side of road to help us locate The field is enormous and pitches were so well spaced, a real bonus Nicky gave us a typed up potted history of area & answered lots of questions for us, then left us to set up We are members of NT so plenty of places to visit, also visited nearby Henley & Windsor Castle We ate at local pubs on a couple of Evenings (one ok & one not) but maybe we were unlucky Husband said water & chemical waste areas were very good (not all are) and whole site was kept tidy Both owners never intruded on us but on the occasion we saw them, extremely friendly Yes there is some road noise but just a drone during the night & I am an extremely light sleeper Do g hesitate to come here

Lovely friendly site would definitely recommend

Lovely flat really big field loads of room so no need to be too close to any other unit of you do not want to be. We had a great 4 night stay was welcomed by Nicky so helpful and friendly nothing too much trouble and gave us some really useful local information. 2 Water points one each end of the field and of course the bins and toilet disposal. We also met Andy a couple of days into our trip again very friendly and helpful and if you are interested in the local history of the area he is your man. he told us some fascinating history of the military and nonmilitary facts of the area. If you like wildlife there are Red Kites and talk about Watership Down fun watching the rabbits on their daily play usually early evening. Even though the site is next to a road it is not a busy road and you are not aware of any traffic noise. If you do not want to use the car or take out the motorhome access to the local bus service is ideal we did not take the Motorhome out at all just used the busses. A 10 minute walk takes you to the bus stops and the X38 X39 &X40 busses takes you straight into the city center of Oxford and they run about every 30 minutes. At the local stop by the Checkers Pub the bus takes you into Didcot they run every 2 hours. Dorchester on Thames is a 20 to 25 minute walk from the site depending on how fast you walk for any fans of Midsummer Murders. For extra information a taxi from Dorchester to Wallingford costs £14 the local pub the George Hotel even phoned the taxi for us Wallingford is a nice little place market on a Friday and a lovely pub right on the banks of the River Thames for lunch or a drink. Thanks to Nicky and Andy will definitely visit again.

So much room

We recently stayed here for 3 nights. Very large, well kept field with clean, modern facilities. My husband was particularly impressed by the quality of the CDP! Red kites frequently seen flying overhead. Lots of room for children to run around safely without disturbing anyone. Easy access and well located for going to Oxford, Reading etc. Only downside for us was the road noise at times but we do accept that we are very fussy so don't let it put you off. We will use this site again.

Lovely CL Site

Stopped for one night on way down to Winchester, loved to have stopped for longer in fact we will be going back, as it’s one of the nicest cl sites we have stayed on, a beautiful flat level grass field with. Plenty of room wildlife and birds everywhere, and very friendly and helpful owners,Nicky and Andy. Not far from lovely Dorchester.

One of the best CLs we've ever visited!

A large, flat well cared for field with masses of space. There are ample EHUs, and the facilities are immaculate. Within easy walking distance of beautiful Dorchester, good local pubs and, very importantly for us, convenient bus stops. The owners Nicky and Andy give a very warm welcome and are helpful with founts of local knowledge. Definitely a site to visit again.

Gem of a site

Stayed here last week for 4 nights and are returning in June for another 4 nights. The area is beautiful and the site itself is spot on. Masses of space so still feels private when all pitches are taken. The site itself feels very secure and is extremely well serviced. Very family and dog friendly. Andy & Nicky are lovely hosts and we are really looking forward to our next visit.

Superb site

We have just returned after a 6-night stay. Full marks for the warm welcome from Nicky on our arrival. The site is easy to find and has good access. The CL is a huge flat field, perfect for self-isolation as the 5 pitches are well separated! It’s only a few minutes from Dorchester-on-Thames and 10 minutes from Abingdon yet very much in the country. Wildlife abounds with Canada geese grazing alongside cows in the neighbouring field, kites swooping overhead and we even heard the cuckoo! We’re already planning a return trip.

2 Night Stay

Stayed here for 2 nights 30th April 1st May. This is a lovely CL. Large flat grassed field with plenty of space for 5 caravans. Perfect for exploring the area. Short level walk to Dorchester on Thames with lovely buildings, Abbey and good pubs. Welcoming and knowledgeable host. Would have liked to have stayed longer but I'm sure we'll be back.

Superb site

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at Burcot Brook Lodge. We had a friendly welcome from Nicky to her extremely spacious site. It is very easy to find, well connected to the local places of interest, but is quiet and secluded. We managed several excellent walks along the Thames direct from the campsite. The appearance and upkeep of this lovely site is excellent. We would thoroughly recommend a visit here. We will be back!
