Goodleigh Hill CL is just brilliant. Directions are the best we’ve ever had, indeed the whole package goes above and beyond the norm. Booking easy and promptly followed up with detailed instructions and a text on the day with your pitch No. and gate codes etc. The pitches are huge with loads of room for caravan car and awning if using. Fully serviced hard standing with electricity, water tap and drainage. Lovely west facing outlook over a flower meadow, being February we were not able to witness this but the sunsets were amazing and we will certainly be returning in the summer. Emily provides every pitch with the most extensive pack we have ever witnessed packed with local walks, of which there are numerous, directly from the site and in the local area, along with many other places to visit. This corner of the Cotswolds is full of delightful villages with pubs and tea shops galore but felt less touristy. I have grudgingly only given 4 stars for peace and tranquillity as there is a road alongside the site, mainly used by local traffic, but we hardly noticed it and was very quiet at night.
There is absolutely nothing not to like about this site. We will definitely return and cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Mathew and Emily for all your efforts we hope to see you again soon.
Second visit just as good as the first
We reviewed this site favourably in Sep 19 and are happy to do so again. Our pitch fee was £20 excluding electricity. We were surprised how little electricity we used - about 36p per day. We ran everything we could on LPG which worked out at about £2/litres per day but it was mild for the time of year. We enjoyed our walks from the site and recommend the Swan in Birlingham for lunch and the No 8 Arts Centre in Pershore for coffee (and a film if there is one) which is run by volunteers. We also saw an otter on a quiet section of the Avon which was a first for us. Emily runs the site exceptionally well and provides each pitch with an excellent information pack which includes maps and recommendations for everything. She visits the CL daily and readily provides advice on the area.
Top Marks All Round
As previous reviews have stated, this site provides five large, level hard standing pitches which are all fully serviced. Communication with the owners is very straightforward - deposit required on booking with balance payable before arrival. Comprehensive terms and conditions which I was quite happy with. Access is from a B road through locked gates (keypad entry) and feels very secure. However, if you are turning right into the site from the road and have a long outfit, it is advisable to take a good swing into the entrance - you will effectively be making a U turn through the gates into the site and the offside of your outfit may end up uncomfortably close to an unforgiving brick wall. Plenty of walking from the site with many places of interest just a short drive away. Emily provides a large information pack for each pitch and is on hand to answer any queries. At the time of our visit (October 22), pitch fee was £23 per night including 10 units of electricity per night (meter for additional units to be paid for separately). Highly recommended and will definitely visit again.
Excellent CL, great location and welcome
We have stayed at Goodleigh Hill on 2 occasions this year, firstly as a quick stopover on our journey back from Cornwall and this week for longer 4 night break. The fully serviced pitches are excellent and convenient for a longer break. Emily has plenty of information in her folders and is always on hand to provide information if needed. Plenty to do in Pershore and we found 2 great pubs, The Star which is highly recommended for a Sunday lunch! The Pickled Plum where we enjoyed a few beers on our last day. There is some good fishing available in the area on the Avon. Fladbury is well worth a visit for a riverside walk.
Simply great!
My wife, dogs & I have just stayed Goodleigh Hill for seven nights and we thoroughly enjoyed our week. Emily is both extremely helpful and goes out of her way to ensure that all of her guests have the best time that they can do.
The Town of Pershore is a reasonable walk and well worth it too. Good choice of cafes, restaurants and takeaways (loved the Thai……).
We will most certainly return.
Thanks Emily, we appreciate all that you do!

An excellent, well thought out CL
Our first visit here and it won’t be our last. A very welcoming CL with great attention to detail in a very informative information pack. We felt very safe and secure with the key pad gates on both the vehicle access and the pedestrian access. Having water and waste on each pitch with the ability to pitch whichever way you fancy really appeals to us and the Elsan and waste disposal point was spotless. Our only minor niggle, and it’s a very minor one which certainly wouldn’t stop us returning or recommending, was the road noise but we live in a quiet cul-de-sac so we are not used to it and the benefits of the site definitely outweighed the traffic.
We loved the fact we could walk into town easily, Pershore is a beautiful place with lots of independent traders, welcoming coffee shops and pubs, a beautiful park too, we really really loved it, it reminded us of how towns used to be. Lots of other places easily accessible too and walking galore in a beautiful area.
We have already recommended the site and will be back probably with friends.
Thank you Emily, for making us so welcome

2nd Visit - Just as good
This was our second visit to Goodleigh Hill. If only all CLs were of this standard. Large pitches, fully serviced, choice of pitching direction and no obstructions blocking the glorious sunshine we had. Hourly bus to Worcester or Evesham. Pershore itself is a lovely market town with an Asda supermarket and other interesting shops and cafes.
Emily has to be commended for her friendliness and the information pack she provides to all visitors. Our only small negative was the road noise, which appears to have increased since our visit in 2021.
Regarding the £22 cost, mentioned by someone, yes a grass site with distant water tap, dubious security and poor sanitation disposal, may be cheaper, but CLs with equivalent facilities, care, appearance, security, convenience transport and shops etc, are difficult to find for less cost.

A great 10 days
There's nothing much we can add to the existing reviews of this site which echo our experience. We had a lovely 10 days with our 3 dogs enjoying lovely walks in the area, meals out at several pubs and enjoying shopping at the wide range on independent butchers, bakers and fishmongers. We didn't venture to the Pershore plum festival (too busy for us with 3 dogs) but imagine this would be fun. Pitch was enormous and had sun all day. From our perspective an enclosed dog walk would have made this site perfect. Emily truly cares about making her visitor's stays special and I'd recommend this site. Particularly good if you have a Moho and want to not move for a week with a 15 min walk into Pershore.
A Lovely CL
We’ve just returned from 10 lovely days in this CL. We fully endorse those comments made in Stevieb’s review which says it all and we can’t wait to return. This site fully deserves all of the positive reviews it gets. We’ll done Emily.
One of the best CL's on the network
We have just returned from our 14 night stay on this superb immaculately kept site. The attention to detail given by Emily and her father Matthew was outstanding. From the well spaced fully serviced hard standing pitches to the wild flower meadow, extensive information pack and little glass hut filled with goodies such as apple juice, pickles and more. The location is excellent, plenty to do & see. Emily is full of knowledge and ideas, even provides walks with maps for her guests.
Even after 14 nights we didn't see everything. It was lovely to return from a days walking and sit and watch the bird activity such as Buzzards soaring overhead and the Mistle thrushes feeding in the meadow. We have visited many CL's over the years but this one has to be up there with the best. This was our first visit but will not be the last.
