One of our favourites

Just back from another stay at Highmeadow Farm. Last time we went it was late summer. Eileen said we should come back in the Spring to see the lambs, so we did. To repeat my last review, the site is easy to access, the owners are lovely, with lots of advice if needed. The field slopes gently, no problem getting level, there's electric, water, chemical loo disposal and recycling; what more could you want in a CL? Plenty of walks around, either on footpaths or quiet lanes, lots of wildlife to be seen and nice scenery. One of our favourites.

Tranquility

If you want to get away from everything and emerse yourself in beautiful countryside this is the place, the night sky on a clear night is fantastic, in the morning getting woken up only by the sheep as they wander from the woods into the fields. A great site well worth visiting, maybe get family with us next time staying at the self catering accommodation, thanks Eileen and John. John & Paula

Lovely Peaceful Site

Wonderful peaceful dog friendly site with plenty of space surrounded by rolling hills and lots of sheep. The site slopes in places but we had no problem levelling up and we were able to pitch where we wanted to. The site has electric hook up, fresh water and waste disposal but no showers which wasn't a problem as we had one onboard our caravan. There isn't a pot wash area but they do have recycling facilities. Eileen the owner is really friendly and happily extended our stay. Make sure you have a chat with farmer John he has lots of stories to tell. We will definitely return one day. 🙂

Helpful and friendly hosts

Just returned home having spent 9 nights at this beautiful scenic and tranquil site with stunning views around and easy set up. We have been using CLs for over 20 years now and John and Eileen were by far the best hosts we have had the fortune to stay with. They were so very helpful and friendly right from the start when we arrived with our car troubles. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you John and Eileen for making our stay so enjoyable.

Tranquil and welcoming

We have just returned from a wonderful 2 week stay on this tranquil site in a beautiful location. On our arrival we were made very welcome by Eileen and John and we soon realised what a gem this site is. The site itself is very spacious and well maintained. It is in a wonderful location within easy walks to Coleford, a charming market town, and to the village of Newland with its medieval church (the Cathedral of the Forest) and local pub. The Forest of Dean is very dog friendly and there are numerous beauty spots or places of interest very close by, such as Symonds Yat, Goodrich Castle and Tintern Abbey. We felt that we had only scratched the surface of this area and look forward to returning to see more. We would have no hesitation in also returning to this site. Only one very minor point would be the slightly tricky waste disposal point - but this would in no way prevent us from returning to this site. Thanks again to our hosts - we had a great time.

Sheer Bliss

We have just spent seven nights here and as others have said it is a great site. No pitch markers, you just pitch where you want. The grass had been cut and remarkably was lush green given the dryness caused by the last heatwave. The field is a bit up and down but nothing you can't handle. The biggest thing in our opinion is the total quietness of the site plus dark skies. At the top of the lane there are far reaching views over to Abergavenny and the Brecon Beacons which gave some magnificent sunsets during our visit. Local footpaths lead to Coleford (about 25 mins) and Newland and the Ostrich Inn. This path however was in very bad repair with lots of boulders to negotiate. We gave up on that one because of knees and hips. The Ostrich In there is only part time opening (check the hours) The location of the site gives easy journeys to local places of interest. The main town is Monmouth in just a few miles. Lots of walking and water sports are available along the River Wye. Chepstow, with its castle is well worth a visit passing Tintern Abbey on the way. Thoroughly enjoyed the chats with Eileen and John although they are not intrusive. Fees at the time of our visit were £20 per night so a slight rise from what's in the book.

Perfectly peaceful CL

Just returned from a 5 night stay on this CL. Access is straightforward, with a nice wide entrance. Approach is easy, only the last few yards are single lane which is used infrequently. Its a pitch anywhere site, there are 3 double EHUs around the edge. Recycling bins, water point and chem disposal point are all close by. The owners are lovely, welcoming and helpful. There are plenty of walks from the site itself, and plenty of places accessible by car. Lots of peace and quiet, no traffic noise, an occasional greeting from the sheep. All in all a delightful CL. We will definitely return.

Great site for visiting this area

We stayed for six nights in June, a very quiet site perfect for visiting the Forest of Dean. There are good walks directly from the site as described by other reviewers. We had a lunch at the Ostrich Inn sitting in the lovely quiet garden, a short walk from the site. Can definitely recommend.

Peaceful and great location

This site is an amazing find! It is really quiet and has lovely views and yet is just a few miles from Symonds Yat and a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk across fields from the small town of Coleford which has everything you need, including a Lidl and a great fish and chip shop! Beauty spots and attractions in the Wye Valley are all easily accessed from here. The owners were friendly and helpful. The site is sloping but only slightly so this didn't prove a problem for us. There is one hardstanding by the entrance. Lots of room and you are free to choose where you park up which I liked. No lining up! Drinking water, waste disposal, electric hookup and recycling available. Lovely walks starting from the site itself. Much recommended is the short walk to the village of Newland where you can visit All Saints Church, known as 'The Cathedral of the Forest', as it was originally built in a clearing in the forest. It is now surrounded by fields. The village is beautiful and has an old pub called The Ostrich which is known for good food. This was closed when we were there (April 2022) but a notice on the door said it would be reopening soon. No traffic noise on the site (unless something came down the lane, which was rare). Only thing to be heard was the sheep calling their lambs and birdsong. All in all, a fantastic place to relax. Would love to return!
