Rectory Farm

We loved our stay here! The owners were very welcoming and friendly, they let us feed the lambs and look at the piglets! We were 4 adults but I'm sure young kids would love this place and it feels very safe. Once we were done petting the cute animals we... ate them!  There was a well stocked fridge with delicious meat and eggs from the farm, some drinks too. It is a small site with ample and clean facilities. There are lovely walks in the local area and a decent pub not too far away.

We were looking for something affordable, quiet and good for our young children.  Rectory Farm was perfect. We've just spent 3 nights there (one of which was very wet, but thankfully the field was well-drained). We pretty much had the small field to ourselves, with the exception of some ewes and their young (separated from us by a mild electric fence)  Our daughters were totally taken by the young lambs, the chicks and by the piglets that were also at the farm.  The owners could not be more attentive, even offering to help break camp as the weather closed in.  The farmer has given my daughters an unforgettable experience in letting them feed some of the lambs with a bottle!

The camp site itself is off a quiet lane, though you can hear the A417 at night, though that is alongside the hedgehogs, owls and muntjac deer who serenade sleeping campers (the daytime is adorned with woodpeckers, cuckoos and thrushes!)  The camp site is isolated enough so that the stella display at night is worth clambering out of the warmth of your sleeping bag to appreciate! The single toilet and shower (no coins needed!) were just fine for our needs, and kept clean.  There is even a covered space with hot water for washing up.  

As if all this was not enough, there is fresh meat and eggs that can be purchased on site.  There is also a Londis about 3/4 of a mile down the lane.  Pubs are plentiful and the owners keep menus and are happy to recommend places.

We definitely plan to return at some point; this is a camp site that is fantastic value for money and we haven't visited half the attractions in the area (We loved Gloucester and Sudeley Castle and found Tewkesbury pleasant and very convenient) .

Just back from a weekend stay at Rectory Farm. The campsite was just perfect, owners really lovely and the whole area beautiful. The piglets where very cute, and we enjoyed looking at the chickens/hens. 

The information in the toilet/shower/washing up area is just what you need (local walks, pubs and essential phone numbers). The toilet always clean and tidy; we particular enjoyed the luxury loo roll. The camp site is flat, grass kept well and recycling/rubbish facilities can't be faulted. 

A good few walks around here too - very good for blackberries this time of year. Brilliant distance from Gloucester. The only negative is that you are able to hear the road traffic at night - not too loud mind. Being a good way away from street lights we enjoyed looking at the stars after a short walk back from a lovely visit to the local pub. 

All in all a brilliant weekend. 

Thank you, I'm sure we will be back.
