What a little gem! Booked very last minute and pleasantly surprised by the peace and the view! We looked across fields full of sheep, away in the distance was the M42, a hum of vehicles that I didn’t even register after the first night.
We were lucky with good weather and had a large lawned area to sunbathe and relax in. However, Redditch is only 6 minutes drive away for everything you may need, including all major supermarkets, restaurants etc. The beautiful Arrow Valley park is a lovely place to walk, or run (parkrun at 9am on a Saturday morning) and superb play areas for kids.
Nearby, within 25 minutes are 3 excellent National Trust properties, Hanbury Hall, Baddesley Clinton and Packwood House. Plus so much more.
At parkrun, a man was surprised to hear I was staying here on holiday, ‘ On holiday, in Redditch?’ No, on a working farm, surrounded by fields and totally peaceful. You do not have to go far to be in the countryside.
The site is also a caravan and motorhome storage facility, with very good security systems in place. It is completely separate from the caravan part, unlike some sites where the caravans can be an eyesore. Not here.
Looking forward to visiting again.
As stated before a very secure site, has to be accessed by two secuity gates. A pleasant welcome on arrival by the owner who directed to the pitches, this site benefits from having a exclusive WC. The position of this site commands a picturesque view of the surrounding countryside. Easy access into Birmingham and surrounding counties. Other reviews mention the road noise from the M42 this did'nt effect our stay in any way.
Excellent welcome to a secure and picturesque site. Very well spaced hard standing pitches with beautiful views across countryside. Plenty of well kept grass and lovely apple trees. Distant hum of the M42, but handy location for its accessibility. Stayed for two nights over a weekend, only three units in total, would envisage being busy if something on at the NEC. Travelled to the South West often and never stayed but will again as such a useful location. Lovely countryside but not easy to access on foot, good if have user of a car.
Not far from the Club's Chapel Lane site this CL is a great stop off when using the M42 or visiting the NEC which is a 20 to 25 minute drive away. We were on our way west and used this excellent CL to stop off and to visit the Caravan and Motorhome Show at the NEC. Access from the M42 junction 3 to this well cared for, secure, level site is easy and we stayed two nights. We have used this site before several years ago and we were lucky to obtain a last minute pitch. The large hardstanding pitches on a hill top are located around a central reservation and haven't altered over the years and still offer fine views. However, the facilities have been improved and a toilet has been added. A facility block is in the process of being added to offer a shower. All in all a great value for money CL
This is a very secure site, all hard standing pitches. Easy access from M42. One clean toilet, large grass area, nice rural outlook, motorway is a distant hum. Good cycling on country lanes from site. Nice welcome thank you.
Another lovely stay this time for the whole week. Beautiful views over the country side and easy access in and out. This is a very secure site, which is reassuring as we left our van all day until late evenings to visit our son.
Some sound from the near by kennels, but that’s all part of Being in the countryside, also could hear M42 but nothing disturbing.
Most definitely will return.
Enjoyed 1 night here and will definitely return very soon.
Close to Alvechurch and M42, No noise from M42 at all, just a little from nearby kennels, not intrusive at all really. Darren was very welcoming and flexible with set up. Amazing views across the countryside and a very neat and tidy pitch area. Don't be put off by the approach and farm machinery, all ads to the rustic feel. Very secure.
Our favourite site in the Midlands. Warm and friendly owners, superb views, nicely spaced pitches, very secure and highly recommended. We keep coming back
Positives
Close to Chapel Lane site and a fraction of the price
Security is first class
Pitches are flat and well maintained
View across the field is lovely
Great to see rabbits, red kites and lots of other birds
Not so positive
The farm is a little on the untidy side with piles of scrap metal, etc laying around, but nothing particularly unpleasant. It’s clearly a working farm.
Getting out of the site onto the road is a little hairy because you need to edge out to see anything. The owners say they trim the hedges as far as they can, but perhaps a mirror or two would help.
I also didn’t find anywhere I could safely walk with our dog, without driving. However, the canal Towpaths in nearby Alvechurch and Barnt Green are ideal.
You can certainly hear the M42, but it’s not too bad. You can definitely hear the nearby kennels though. It won’t stop us returning because we generally spend most of our time visiting nearby family, but it’s important to know this if you like to relax outside your unit in the evenings.
Stayed here as close to our son’s house that he is renovating. Very secure site with wonderful views and good well organised pitches.
Will definitely use this again
