Stayed here recently during the freezing weather conditions and experienced a heavy fall of snow during our stay.
Full marks to the wardens who visited us on both mornings to make sure we were ok and brought us supplies of water, as the site taps had frozen.
We use this site as a base to visit Worcester and to walk on The Downs, good value for money at £14.
Excellent Site
We stay regularly at this small site which is excellent value for money. As a previous reviewer said, the road (A44) is busy and noisy but doesn't have a huge impact on the site and, as the rest of the site is very quite, its easily forgotten about. There are very limited facilities and there's not a lot of space for children but the service areas are well maintained and the herb trough (help yourself) is very welcome. The location is excellent for both walks from the site, walks further afield and exploring by car with plenty of local attractions within easy reach - Bromyard Downs have great views, Lower Brockhampton is well worth exploring and Bromyard town is worth exploring. We always aim for a hardstanding as some of the grass pitches seem soft but I'm sure the wardens will guide you on this.

Peaceful woodland getaway
This was our first time here for my husband and I and we found it very quiet and friendly. We chose pitch No 5 which was a hardstanding pitch in the lower area, as it was below the road we were not bothered by any road noise. We stayed for 9 nights.
I really liked the large wooden trough of fresh herbs grown by the wardens which we could pick for our cooking, the site was attractive with tubs of flowers.
We have 2 springer spaniels and we were able to walk them on the Downs which were sheep free and had wooded areas as well.
The places we visited were the lovely villages round the Malvern hills, Ludlow which has a local produce market and a super castle, Stokesay castle, N.T. properties Hanbury hall, Croome, which has an RAF Museum, Croft castle, Berrington court and Brockhampton estate.
The Wardens were very friendly and helpful we will definitely stay here again.
Border Collie Heaven
Surrounded by trees and greenery I thoroughly recommend this site for a peaceful and restful stay. The site is beautifully maintained by the Wardens who are friendly and helpful and the pitches are nicely spaced out.If you go off site there many places of interest to visit.My 3 energetic collies have insisted we return as you are just spoilt for choice of walks all off lead.Plus the extra bonus of Brockhampton Estate just outside the site with miles of free walking just watch out for sheep. One of the best sites Ihave visited we will return.

Simple and basic site
If you enjoy a no frills site this could be for you but the road noise is awful and the dog walk is overgrown muddy & very slippy no fun in the rain also Brockhampton national trust which is across the road is now charging £5.00 each to walk in the parkland so dog walking is no fun. pitch sizes are small and close together if you have a awning you will find you have nowhere to park your car.
Great site for walking and exploring
This is the second time we've stayed on this lovely site this year, and it won't be our last. It's in a great location for exploring the wider area, but you could spend your time on many different walks from the site. There are no facilities to comment on but the friendly wardens do keep the site immaculate. There is traffic noise from the A44 which is a busy road, but it shouldn't put you off staying. Great deal on our recent visit at £14 per night.

What a delightful place to spend some time!
I am sure you will have read other excellent reviews of the site. All I will add is full agreement with other members. It is a beautiful site on which to spend time. There is a quick shortcut down to Bromyard. The Brockhampton Estate is opposite the site entrance. I just feel that there are not enough of this type of site on the network. An immaculately kept site without the toilet block keeps the price down and more importantly maintains the quiet and simple nature of the site. I love visiting Bromyard Down a site that all in the club should be proud of.
Delightful Site
Can't rate the facilities and cleanliness because there aren't any. Same for families. But this is a really enjoyable site well situated for touring the area - 3NT properties within 20 miles and if retail therapy is your wont then Worcester is 20 miles away. I will return.
Low key, quiet and simple
This must be the smallest club site that I have ever visited. If you arrive on a Wednesday you will find that the reception is closed all day as it is the wardens day off. Just follow the instructions on the board for finding a pitch and book in the following day. Yes, it is a low key site and has a certain charm about it. It is peaceful apart from the surprisingly noisy main road but this is probably more apparent at the top end of the site. However, you soon forget about the traffic and being a small site there is not the constant coming and going of vehicles and new arrivals touring around looking for a pitch.
There is a footpath that runs along the boundary which is great for us dog owners as you can if you wish take your K9 on a circular walk of around 2-3 miles. Just across the main road are the Bromyard Downs which offer more walks across grassy downland and at this time of year has the biggest display of wild spotted orchids that I have ever seen. And if you enjoy an energetic walk the Malvern Hills are only a 20 min drive away. The Malvern Hills offer some of the most spectacular views you can experience so the effort is well rewarded.
If you enjoy simple relaxation then this is a great site. I could not give it 5 stars because my pitch was too close to my neighbour for comfort. I noticed other pitches to be rather close. Also, if i had been putting up an awning then it would have been almost up against a hedge
