Weekend Trip to Pytingwyn Woods

Absolutely beautiful site! Really well looked after and the stream was so lovely. Very quiet even with other campers. David was a great host, came to check we were all okay and settled. Also, very close to town so wasn’t very far to go if we needed anything but far enough away that it was quiet and peaceful. Would highly recommend this site and would go back if in the area again.

Weekend Trip to Wolford Wood Camping & Cabins

We thoroughly enjoyed our camping trip at Wolford Wood. Marcus and Petra made us feel welcome throughout the duration of our stay. They even offered late checkout, which was really appreciated. The campsite borders Wolford Wood, which is excellent for a relaxing woodland walk and birdwatching. We were able to select our own pitch, which is great if you want privacy. The campsite is 5 minutes from Moreton-in-Marsh, which has great restaurants and quirky shops. Highly recommended.

Katherine and her partner were so so lovely. They have a beautiful setting and very private beautiful landscape. Amenities were as stated and couldn’t have wanted more. We absolutely loved our stay, would definitely stay again. Even if they are busy you are completely undisturbed, because she put us in a different field as she had a big group the other field (you couldn’t hear them at all). 10/10 peaceful as advertised, great wildlife, including a few really friendly horses!! Thanks guys, will definitely be back :)

Weekend Trip to Abbey Home Farm

A lovely place to stay, facilities are excellent and the views are really good on whichever pitch you decide upon, with 3 options you have a choice of car camping, an open field or a wild flower meadow...fantastic. The Organic farm shop and cafe serve and sell some excellent produce and is a great place to relax, the staff are friendly and very helpful. My only gripe were the other campers, as it's a free pitch area you can set up where you like which is fantastic until it gets busy then some people with no respect for others privacy or space squeeze themselves in-between those who have already set up reducing the enjoyment slightly and your experience. My suggestion would be to add a 10 metre distance rule to those pitching up besides those that are already there to avoid any unpleasant situations. We had someone park/pitch pretty much next door to us with multiple pitches available in the same field which was disappointing. Overall I would highly recommend it but I would advise to get there early in the better weather.
