First visit of many..

Great location for this beautifully maintained small site, which is a credit to the owner. The site itself has limited facilities - but those that are there, are very well done - rubbish recycling, chemical waste, fresh water, a natty solar unit for recharging gadgets and a chimnea! If you're self contained, this is bliss.. Access to the site is very good and the owner extremely welcoming. There are some lovely walks from the site, and wildlife abounds. We watched a tiny Muntjac deer from the van on Saturday, listened to a number of Owls each night and marveled at numerous Red Kite and Buzzards on our walks (I recommend the walk to Great Tew and a beer at the Falkland Arms)

A future CL of the Year?

This is a beautiful site. A large lawned field bordered with mature hedging and mixed tree planting. Cared for by a delightful owner. It has a tidy, high quality disposal and re-cycling point. Choice of hard standing or well drained grass. Picnic tables provided and a barbecue/fire pit area. Easy wide turn in with wide entrance and gate. A clever solar re-charging point built by the owner is available for free. For those without a solar panel or generator this could extend your stay. Which might be a good idea as there is a sliding scale of site fees. The longer you stay the less you per night. Now why don't a few more sites consider that? To be honest you won't need any incentives to stay - the hardest part is leaving. This site is a credit to it's owner who has done a magnificent job in developing it from scratch four years ago and who is still looking for opportunities to further meet the needs of his guests. We'll be back before it becomes CL of the year - that may be very soon.

Lovely Site

Visited for a weekend Friday evening until Monday, John the owner is very helpful and met us there, it was the first time for years we have gone "off grid" but wanted to try the Solar Panel out we have on our caravan. Worked a treat, even watched 12v TV. The site is very peaceful and we had it to ourselves Sat and Sun night, the facilities i.e. the water and waste points, fresh water, and recycling are really excellent and well constructed, better than some commercial sites I've been to, the whole site is laid out to a very high standard, credit to John the owner. Top and bottom of the site are reasonably level and there is a hardstanding which would suit a motorhome, the main site is sloping and you would need levelling blocks. We saw bats at the top of the site and some we think were kestrels flying around. The village is very nice and has a pub which is walkable, we may try the menu next time. Overall I can't fault this site, one of the best CL's we have stayed at, intend to return very soon.

Most relaxing

A big thankyou to John for setting up this great CL. A relaxing, very well kept site with lots of options for setting yourself up. Having a locked gate is great as it keeps your things safer. A nice little village within 5 mins walk, with a good pub selling decent ales and food. Despite torrential rain there was plenty of drainage. I was lucky enough to have the site to myself so a truly peaceful stay.

A hidden gem

We stayed over the bank holiday to try camping off grid. The site, despite its slope, was carefully planned to accommodate both caravans and motor homes. The grass is short, battery charging via the solar panel is available, and the site is well kept. The off grid experience was a good experience.

back to basics

I was a bit dubious about this being a bit too much back to nature but it was perfect. John, the owner greeted us on arrival and was very informative. We wanted to be near a village as we didn't want to move the motorhome all weekend, the local shop wasn't a newsagents so John got our paper for us. The field was neatly cut and huge, we had trouble deciding where to park, spoilt for choice. We actually saw a baby deer walk slowly down the camp field one evening, awesome. The downside was the 2 family's who were parked at the top of the site, about 35 metres from us, their children frequently played by our van, winding our dogs up which was annoying.

Lovely quiet well tended CL

Just spent a week at this lovely CL. Very quiet and peaceful, lots of wildlife to watch. Very secure site with well thought out waste disposal point. Close to Banbury and not too far from Chipping Norton where you can park all day for free and catch the bus to Oxford. John the owner is very friendly and helpful . Really enjoyed our stay despite the weather . As someone else said “a gem of a site”
