Easter weekend might have been wet, but we enjoyed it!

After finding a lot of the CL sites in the area waterlogged from recent heavy rains, was pleased to find Rails end open and relieved for the 3 hardstanding pitches (they do have control matting under some of the grass pitches) but as we have a heavier motorhome grateful for the hardstanding. For the start of April, with it raining as well, the grass areas were as you would expect soft underfoot but then so were most of the walks up on the hill, more a reflection of the weather / time of year than the site itself. Jackie and Andrew were lovely hosts, checking to see all was ok even though have stayed here before. Lots to do locally, bus stop within walking distance into either Evesham one direction or Tewkesbury via all the villages, the other. Local wildlife aplenty especially in the wild orchard with a walk around other side of the hedge, peace and quiet only interrupted by the odd pheasant. Will be back.

Warm Welcome

We stayed here three nights. We received a warm welcome from Jackie. The site has everything you need, however we felt it does need some tlc. Not the prettiest of sites, but the wildlife and bird song is fantastic. Although the weather wasn’t good, we felt the area around the toilet emptying area was very muddy and overgrown and similarly with the drinking water tap, they could do with some paving slabs and a general tidy of the areas. The hard standings are quite close together and very rough if you want to sit out in the summer. There is an excellent pub within easy walking distance and a bus stop at the end of the lane which takes you to either Tewkesbury or Evesham. There is a small hut containing local information and a great selection of Jackie’s home made jams and chutneys. We would stay here again for the tranquility, but as we’ve said it could do with some tlc to make it a more pleasant stay. The electricity is metered and a very fair way of paying for it.

Smashing Spot

A lovely CL with all you need. It well sheltered with high conifers on two sides, but depending where you pitch you can get a peek at the view of the ‘Hill’. Although, it does not have huge views, it is very spacious hence feels open. The wildlife is a big plus - birds galore visit- red kites, kestrels and lots of garden usual visitors. We would imagine in Summer when you can use grass pitches it would a delightful chilling spot. The two hardstanding were brilliant for February wetness, there was lots of surface water in surrounding area and little floods during our visit but nice and dry on the hardstanding. Sadly didn’t get round to visiting local pub but looks smashing and 5-10 minutes easy safe walk. Seems area quite well served with buses to as stated in previous reviews. The walks and footpaths from the site are vast and too many to mention. A brilliant spot with lots to do even if you are like us in a mohome and just pitch up, and do everything else by walk/bus/cycle. The owner, Jackie, needs special mention as she is a lovely lady who was a delight. She was so friendly whilst booking on the phone, and she was so welcoming on our arrival too. Thoroughly recommend, and we hope to be back to get done all we didn’t get round too.

Another lovely stay

Another lovely stay at Rails End, Jackie is so friendly and welcoming, electricity metered and read at the end of your stay, much fairer you pay for what you use. Buses to Tewksbury and Evesham at the end of the lane, good country pub serving food and many lovely walks. Homemade jams and pickles for sale in the information hut. We will definitely return.

Lots to do

We were given a warm welcome by Jackie, her hubby and colleagues on the nursery. The site wasnt quite as manicured as the previous reviews say but on the plus side was very reasonably priced. That said the pitches were flat and the grass pitches were beautiful. Hardstanding themselves were flat (altho rubble - Jackie acknowledged and is trying to rectify this), which sloped to the grass areas which could have been mown. There was a field that was being managed for wildlife which we could walk the dogs around on leads and was very welcome. There was a lovely shed filled with local info, maps, books and homemade jams. Facilities were basic but we don't expect anything else for £17.50. Electricity was metered which is absolutely fair in current times. The site is within 2minutes of lovely walks and a lovely pub. And a short drive to Evesham, Pershore and Cleeve Hill to name a few. We have dogs which we like to run, but due to farmland etc they remained on leads, for walkers and dog owners this site is ideal and we loved our visit here and would definitely be back.

Lovely greeting by Jackie and her new hip! I love plants and gardens and had long been wanting to visit this CL. It didnt disappoint. You drive down through the greenhouses full of the enticing greenery. The hard standing pitches are laden with decent sized rubble and did the job beautifully for my 7.5m vehicle. Access was fine. Behind the pitch was a tall hedge which led to a fantastic dog walk. It does have a public footpath onto it too, but it was little used when I was there. Places visited: Evesham, Hidcote Garden NT, Charleston House NT, Batford Arboretum, Kiftsgate Gardens (closed on a thursday in April). Tewksbury Abbey -magical and dog friendly, Stow, Broadway, Diddly Squat Farm shop, Adam Henson's Farm, Broadway Tower and Snowshill Manor NT. All this in 4 days and not too far away. Rails End charges for electricity on top of the daily rate. I used kettle x 4 per day, hairdrier once only, heating 15 mins on low once a day to take chill off in the evening. Phone charged up once. My bill was £7.14 for 4 days and nights. I think this is very acceptable and understandable. All in all. A fab CL the dogs, my friend who visited everyday, with permission from Jackie and I have had the most lovely stay and I am really looking forward to returning and trying out the pub this time!

Bucolic paradise that is dog friendly.

We are back at home now after a very good experience at this CL. We prioritize sites that have good walking for dogs nearby and are in a quiet location, a must for my wife. This location ticked all the boxes for our requirements, Brodi and Archi our lab & spaniel loved it there. We didn't need to use any hook up power as we are in bed by darkness at this time of year and use a fully charged up tablet for our entertainment. Everything is as other reviewers have stated but one must thoroughly recommend the Star Inn village pub, 5 minutes walk away. We walked the Fish Hill, Broadway Tower & village area in brilliant sunshine. Don't even try to park a motor home in Broadway, all car parks have 2 meter barriers. Daft really as they lose the grey spending power, we parked for free at the Cheltenham race course and took the wonderful GWSR heritage steam railway into Broadway, an hours paradise for train buffs (and back). We also visited Snowshill, NT property, seriously good, in my top 5 in the country. Great collection of an eccentric and less of those dreadful portraits of long gone relatives that the NT think we all should see. To park in Evesham use the Waitrose free car park, at off peak hours there's plenty of space. Jackie the site owner is very friendly and helpful and is a force of nature and highly organised, complete now with a new knee! This site comes highly recommended by my wife, dogs and of course your reviewer.

A Wonderful CL

We have just spent 3 days at Rails End, a lovely warm welcome from Jackie who showed us to our pitch. There are 3 hard standing pitches for this time of year, water, elsan disposal and a recycling bin.Grey waste goes into the hedge and the electricity is metered and read at the end of your stay, we feel this is an excellent idea you only pay for what you use. There are plenty of walks, an hourly bus service to Tewkesbury or Evesham and a fabulous pub in the village. The site is very quiet and surrounded by hedgerows giving a very rustic feel. A real bonus are the home made chutneys, marmalades and jellies. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be back. Thank you Jackie.

Fantastic Everything !!!!

Just spent the last 4 nights at Rails End Nursery and what a find for us. We look for sites that we can park the car up and not need to use and this site ticked the boxes for us. The site has just having 3 hard standing pitches finished off and then 3 grass pitches, which we had one of the grass pitches. Jackie and Andrew are the perfect hosts and on hand if you need. The site is on a bridle path and links you into to many other bridles paths, which was great for us with the dog. There is a small info shed on site with various laminated maps for using. The village is lovely and a 5 minute walk takes you to a fantastic pub, which does excellent food. Everyone in the village is so friendly and very welcoming. On-site electricity is metered and I was worried about this, but we averaged 5 units a day, so quickly my mind was put at ease. We will definitely will be returning and would recommend to anyone based on location, ease of access, the ability to pitch your van how you would like, local pub and the walking network available. Thank you Jackie and Andrew.

Friendly Hosts and tranquil surroundings

We have stayed here a number of times, most recently leaving 23rd August and are always made to feel very welcome. We have a larger vehicle and emptying on board tanks is never an issue. Pitches are well spaced and not regimented in direction / orientation, some being hard standing, some grass (well kept with weight spreading matting under most grass pitches). Site is tranquil, providing an opportunity to slow down and unwind. Lots of walks locally up Bredon Hill (information in the shed on site along with books, spare equipment, games and Jams / eggs for sale) and the pub serves excellent food within walking distance, as is the bus stop which can take you into Evesham or the other way into Tewkesbury running roughly hourly during the week (bus route 540) Lovely site that well deserved it's inclusion within 2021's CL site of the year where it came 2nd, nothing is ever an issue for Jackie and Andrew (the owners). We will be back!
