First class
Just had a lovely week at Gate Farm, our third stay. Susie and Steve have done a great job laying out the hard standings to give a lovely view across the landscape. They make you feel so welcome from the moment you arrive and the services have been arranged within easy reach of all pitches. The farm is within easy reach of the NEC, Warwick, Stratford and Kenilworth as well as the shopping mall at Solihull.
An added bonus is Bertie’s sausage, bacon and eggs right on site. Wish we could be there for the Gate Farm Christmas event on the 26th Nov. sounds like fun. Oh well, maybe next year.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
Have just had such a fantastic weekend staying in a lovely, peaceful site which is clearly well-loved and well-planned out! We were greeted on arrival and instantly felt at home and all arrangements were clearly explained. A really well laid out site with everything you need and all well facilitated. Loved the attention to detail for the refuse and recycling situation and all very tidy and well cared for. Thought the Information shed was a great idea and added a read homely feel to it. The owners were so friendly and adorable and there is clearly a family run feel to it which adds to the ambience.
The views over the fields with the horses was just beautiful and easy access to lots of lovely walks with the dog. A great position for going off and exploring so much which is available in the area. There were planes but they really, really didn't intrude, even for me as a light sleeper!
We will definitely be going back to this site for more exploration around the area! Loved it!!!!!
Excellent CL
We were well impressed with this new CL. Susie and her husband have obviously invested well in this property, including a secure gate-entry system. I found the map of footpaths was extremely useful. It is a handy base for dropping my wife at the local Berkswell station for a train to the NEC.
Fantastic weekend
Arrived on Friday afternoon to be met by owner who explained where everything was and gave us a map of local footpaths for dog walking. Very impressed with site, very clean. Well spaced out hardstanding pitches. We found the planes fascinating especially after downloading the ap recommended on site to see where the planes had come from. Didn't find the noise a problem. Another bonus was being able to see the stars. We visited Kenilworth Castle and took a walk along the 21 locks at Hatton. We will defiantly use this site again.
Ideal stopover
We stayed at Gate Farm for just the one night to break our journey home from Derbyshire to Wiltshire and it was a perfect choice! It's fairly new on the network, open less than a year ago but has everything you could ask from a no frills CL. Easy access following the very clear directions available on the website, secure entry/exit via sensor activated gateway, 5 large HS pitches plus an extra EHU point on the grass if you prefer that. Nice rural outlook - we were kept entertained by the two horses in the adjoining field! The Heart of England Way footpath passes right by the entrance to the site so good for dog walking and close by is the Saracens Head pub which does a 2 for 1 offer on pizzas through the week.
The only slight downside is that the farm is on the flight path from Birmingham Airport so you do get some plane noise from time to time but to be honest, even on a busy bank holiday weekend the noise was not really intrusive and added a bit of interest in trying to identify the various airlines!
Susie and her partner have obviously put a lot of hard work into establishing the site and hopefully will get plenty of support from members.
