 I can confirm what others have said. This really is a wonderful site, quiet and peaceful with great views. Ideal spot for touring this area and good for cycling.

Plenty of space to walk around the common and walk the dog. Lovely people on the livery yard and the owners are very helpful. We were not allowed to use the sanitary facilities because of Covid so unable to comment.

The site has two camping areas, south and north with about six pitches in each all with their own water supply. Only criticism was that the grass was a little long.

A really superb site. Thank you Liz for a wonderful stay.

 Wonderful place. Location is great for walking, with malvern hills directly in front of site. Local convenience shop a short walk away. Lovely people.

 Just spent 4 nights here and although not able to get on the CL site we were accommodated on their 'rally' field which has just had new electrics and one water point for every two pitches and has the best views of the Malvern Hills ever.

Facilities are clean and adequate.

The most friendly site owners we have ever come across in 6 years of touring, Would highly recommend this site for any adults wishing to visit the Malvern area especially for dog owners as there are many local footpaths plus the common to walk.

This site is not signed from the single carriage road across the common so follow the direction off the website carefully

 Have just enjoyed 8 days on this lovely site with its wonderful views of the Malvern Hills. The owners are very helpful and although this was our first visit, we felt more like friends than customers. We walked in the hills and greatly appreciated the maps they lent us. They only accept a small number of units, and consequently the field was very spacious even at the weekend when the site was full. It is a perfect site for nature lovers with a variety of birds to watch during the day replaced by the bats at dusk and Castlemorton Common just outside the gate. We found plenty to do in the area: The Tudor Museum in Upton upon Severn, the nearby Malvern Court, Croome House, Eastnor Castle, Great Malvern Priory and the three free to enter attractions in Ledbury (the Heritage Centre, Butchers Row House and the Painted Room). For provisions we walked to the Premier Store open every day except Sunday afternoons and enjoyed reasonably priced meals in the Plume of Feathers.

 Lovely small site. Peaceful and dog friendly. Enjoyed the walks on the common with the dog, dodging the cows. Facilities basic but fine. Friendly owners- very helpful and unobtrusive. Hope to come again soon, so we can walk up to the Hills.

 Spent a week at this lovely Adult only site with views of the Malvern Hills hosted by very friendly and helpful owners Ian and Lyn.

We were sited in the overflow field with bonus of being able to watch horses going over the jumps and young riders having lessons.

Very animal friendly with owners two dogs checking out campers now and then. You are also able to visit resident horses in their stables and there are plenty of dog walks as farm is situated on the edge of the common.

There is just one shower and toilet at this site but never had to queue once. There is a small shop 15 minute walk away and just a short drive from 3 Counties Showground. We will definitely visit this site again.

 Tucked away beneath the Malvern Hills (So tucked we got lost and the owner had to come and rescue us!) is a wonderful little quiet corner of England.

If you are looking for a small quiet peaceful site this is for you.

Very animal friendly. (Children are not accepted purely for safety reasons as it is a working Equestrian Centre not because they don't like children!)

Our two dogs (Lurchers. Large) loved it and made friends with the resident canine supervisors who roam round to check out the visitors of two and four footed variety.

Yes to service with a smile. The owners could not have been more gracious, welcoming, friendly and helpful. It was much appreciated.

Only 5 pitches on a flat, beautifully manicured grassy area. Easy access to water and hookup.

One toilet and wash basin room and one toilet and shower room. Not Luxurious but clean and adequate. (We were told there are plans to build new facilities in the pipeline). There is a walk of perhaps 100 yards from the field to the loos by way of two gates and the stables. This is very dark at night so a torch is useful.

Lovely walks for humans and dogs right by the site on the Common and further afield, plenty of beautiful scenery from the river Severn valley to the ancient Malvern hills (I am into geology and the rocks rock!) Many historical sites too from castles to iron Age forts.

We had a wonderful weekend even though we had some heavy rain. It was the first real adventure in our newly acquired VWT5 Camper van so we were a bit apprehensive but everyone was so helpful we couldn't have chosen a better place to make our rookie mistakes!. We were visiting the VW Busfest at the Three Counties showground. It was minutes away and easy to find.

For horse lovers there is also an added bonus of of the resident horses and jumping ring.

A Good area too for birdwatching and wildlife.

Thank you Liz and Ian for making our maiden voyage anxiety free and a huge success.

 We have just returned from a 3 night stay here as it is ideally placed for the Three Counties Showground. We visit the area once or twice a year and have always stayed on the c&cc main site near Hanley Swan which is nice but awkward for dog walking.

Marlbrook Farm is situated on Castlemorton Common - I think Ian (the owner) said it covers about 900 acres. You can walk straight out onto the common, a beautiful area. You can walk up onto the hills and only have to cross a minor road. There are sheep and cattle free roaming, just need some ponies and it would be like the New Forest!

The single shop in Welland sells mosts things and is about a 5 minute walk. The shop has opened a small cafe which does breakfast baps etc (didn't get to try this time sadly).

The local pub, The Plume of Feathers is a 10/15 minute walk in the other direction. It's dog friendly (a lovely resident Springer who greets everyone) and welcoming. The food is good, basic pub grub and prices are reasonable.

The site is small, we were in the overflow bit which was next to where they have riding lessons so often something to see, all with a backdrop of the hills. We actually preferred this to the main camping area. A single shower and two loos but there was never a queue. There were issues with the hook ups tripping while we were there but the owners, Liz and Ian were always straight on it and managed to sort things out, and to be fair, we weren't sure whether it was my brother in laws mh which was causing the problem. Lots of space, just pick where you want to park up.

They have two dogs, as previously mentioned and Ian explained that they will bark (as dogs do) whenever anyone arrives but it only lasts a few seconds and they are friendly so need to have any concerns in that area.

Liz and Ian are the best sort of owners, friendly, relaxed and do everything they can to make sure your stay with them is great but never in your face.

 Had a lovely three night stay whilst walking the Malvern Hills. A tranquil spot within 10-15 minutes drive of both Great Malvern and Ledbury (both of which we visited and I recommend Ledbury, a lovely little town). There was a village shop about a minutes drive away for any emergency essentials and a couple of pubs about 2 minutes drive away too, but we didn't use the pubs so I can't comment on them.

The site was quiet (no kids or play areas which made us very happy) and clean and the hosts were so friendly, relaxed and helpful. There were no overbearing rules posted everywhere like some sites we have visited. Hosts were alway available if you needed any help and they even loaned us a map of the hills so that we could go walking. The site is, in fact, within walking distance of the hills so there is no need to drive if you don't want to.

The facilities are very basic, a toilet and a shower. But the room was clean and there was always free hot water and toilet paper. The site is small enough that I doubt you would ever have to queue for the one shower. If you love horses there are plenty there to see and give some attention to. There were also some sheep and while were there the lambs were still feeding and I was allowed to help out with the bottle feeding, which was awesome. The hosts really were a lovely friendly family, so welcoming.

The only negative, and it's a small one, was that the site was a bit hard to find as not marked from the road at all. But after we got lost we called the site and the owner gave us directions and was even on his way out to meet us at the road when we showed up. I would like to have seen some recycling, maybe there was and I just wasn't shown it, so we took all our recycling home with us rather than put in in the garbage and ultimately the landfill.

Another review mentioned barking dogs but we didn't hear them and they only have two dogs anyway. It is a busy equestrian business so I expect the dogs just bark when a client shows up as most dogs would.

A great stay, I would definitely recommend it to anyone and would go back again if I was in the area.

 We have been to this site a couple of times now and I must say how friendly and helpful Liz & Ian are. Also, Ian's Mum when she is there, who lent me her phone charger overnight as I'd forgotten mine! They used to sell lovely fresh eggs but sadly the chickens and ducks have been eaten by foxes! Plume of Feathers pub is within walking distance and also very friendly.
