Excellent location
Stayed here for 3 nights in July, a lovely site, clean and well maintained. Very helpful and friendly wardens. Would recommend and will definitely stay again.

An excellent stay to round off our holiday
We stayed here for a couple of nights to break our journey from Wales to Dorset. Quite agree with other reviews - a peaceful and beautifully kept site. Not to mention very jolly wardens! We shall return.

For a quiet break in the middle of the Hereford countryside, this may be the perfect site!
The purpose of our visit was to explore the Hereford Black and White villages. The sight is ideal for this. There are not many footpaths in this area but the B roads are tiny and whilst not very good for heavy traffic they are great for cycling or walking. We cycled to four of the villages. We started at Weobley, then on to Eardisland, Pembridge and Lyonshall. The villages feel like film sets even though they are very much working villages. Locals were very welcoming which made for a lovely day. We also stopped off at a Cider orchard and tried the local produce!!
The site would also be great if you were planning a quiet relaxing break it is a beautiful area and with some warm sunshine it would be difficult to want to do anything at all. As always the wardens are doing a great job and the site is a credit to them.

One we'll come back to
We came for a few early season days away, and to check the van still worked OK before bigger trips further afield, and we'll be back. It's in a lovely area, with good NT places, easy reach of Hereford - the Mappa Mundi is indeed worth spending time with - and excellent peaceful countryside. We too heard that tawny owl with great pleasure! We'd have found more to occupy a longer stay. Weobley provided a good meal out (Jules) and a pleasant place to explore, for one.
The snow still made waves of frozen sea-breakers looming over some roadside hedges, so lots of meltwater, and wet ground everywhere, but the site was fine. The wardens wisely asked us to stick to hard standing - no problem with that! We had a great view over the Brecon Beacons, with snow still on them. The site's also sheltered from the North, and in the cold wind that was welcome.
Excellent maintenance on the facilities by very friendly and helpful wardens, to whom our thanks. It may not be the most modern, but it's perfectly adequate and user-friendly as it is, we liked it.
I can see that there's not a lot on-site for children, and in high season it might feel a little crowded, being so long & thin, but with only a handful of early season persons of mature age that wasn't a problem!
There is an onsite WiFi hotspot area near the wardens' building. We found some occasional O2 signal and no EE, but life without intravenous phone is no bad thing :-)
Our only regret was my wife's not having her camera to hand when there was a perfect sunset through the bridge arch over the track of the railway at the end of the site.
All in all, it's firmly on our list of good places to return.
Peaceful
We spent three nights at Moorhampton just as it was opening for the 2018 season so it was fairly quiet. The wardens were really pleasant and helpful and the facilities absolutely spotless.
I wouldn't think it the best site for families due to the lack of play equipment and space to keep them occupied, but for adults or a brief stop over it is a lovely quiet retreat. The main sound at night was a noisy owl! We had a pitch with a fantastic view towards the Brecon Beacons.
As previous reviews have mentioned it is a narrow site and the larger outfits can only fit on a few of the pitches.
Good stopping off point for visiting Hereford, Leominster, Ludlow, Hay on Wye and of course doing the black and white trail.

Our favourite English site doesn't disappoint
The site seems to be bypassed by the Club's drive for modernisation. It remains a traditional site in a peaceful location. Easy to find. The site is narrow and large outfits will be restricted to the larger pitches.
Wifi is limited to a hotspot by reception.
We took a bus ride to Weobly - pretty village with a good map guide - and had 'cider and a pie' in the Salutation. Excellent food, service and price. There is parking at Weobly but motorhomes will find it limited. We also took the bus into Hereford which looked a little neglected; the Cathedral was closed to the public because of a Graduation Ceremony.
Bus stop is at the end of the road [about 5 minute easy walk] with a limited service into Wales and Hereford. The bus stop on the Hereford side has limited standing room and may not be suitable for those with mobility issues.
Herefordshire is a lovely county with a black & white village tour, no shortage of orchards and arable farming, and plenty of cider to drink.

A truly relaxing week
We had a marvellous time here. It is a simple, relaxing, and pretty site with truly excellent Wardens. We had had a horendous drive to the site but the wardens greeted us and ensured we found our pitch and settled in and relaxed straight away. Both I and my wife were surprised by any negatives we had read in the site reviews about the facilites which regarde as totally unfounded. What noise we experienced was from agricultural machinery and owls!!! A very big thankyou to the Wardens who could not do enough for us and made our stay even more successful. We will certainly be returning for the benifits the site has and the wonderful countryside, towns and villages all around.

Lovely site - good location and excellent facilities
Arrived to a very warm and friendly greeting by the Warden - the Reception area was made very attractive through the use of hanging baskets and tubs of flowers. The site was quiet - despite it being the Tuesday after the Bank Holiday Monday. All facilities were clean and very well maintained. The location of the site is good for touring the English/Welsh border region - there were plenty of walks locally and further afield. On departure, the Warden took time to ask if we had enjoyed our stay and whether we had any concerns or comments. An excellent break (Tuesday through Sunday) at a lovely peaceful site made even better by nice weather!

Lovely, quiet site
We have just come back from two nights stay on this site. Everything from booking in, washroom facilities etc. was first class. The wardens are a lovely couple and obviously enjoy their work running this site. We hope to visit again soon. NB. No phone or internet service available

Quiet Bank Holiday Break
We booked this site for a quiet Bank Holiday break and we were not disappointed
We were greeted by friendly wardens who advised on which pitches were available.
The site was small friendly and quiet everything we were looking for and the history of the site being a busy railway station was fascinating to both Me and my Wife.Strange to think we were pitched on what used to be the platform
Lovely clean quiet place to stay we will be back when the hustle and bustle of life becomes too much in the future for a quite chill.
