 We were warmly welcomed by the people who ran the pub as well as the site.

Although the shower was pretty basic the camping spot was nice and quiet and the food in the pub was yummy.

I'd definitely recommend it.

Visiting Chipping Norton nearby was good too.

 If you want a quiet, basic campsite in a beautiful part of the country, this place could be ideal.

It is quite basic, just a field behind a pub with 4 or 5 electric hookup points and no set pitches. There is a single toilet (when pub closed) a single shower and a chemical toilet disposal.

The field is not exactly level and slopes enough to make tricky when it is wet. (thankfully not a problem when we went) The price initially seemed good at £8 per night for two people in a campervan without hookup but they then charged us £5 per night for each of our 2 dogs, which we thought to be more than a little excessive considering that there were no extra facilities for dogs, not even any poop bins.

The pub itself was very nice and served very good food at a fair price and is dog friendly. The location is ideal for travelling around the Cotswolds and is within easy reach of Banbury and Chipping Norton but there is nothing really within walking distance.

If it wasn't for the high extra charges for the dogs I would happily recommend it but if you have dogs and/or children it does not offer great value for money.

 The site is a little ’rustic’ and not very level so take your blocks.

Lovely location, lovely friendly pub with good food and beer.

Only 1 and a half miles from Hook Norton Brewery that is well worth a visit.

 Good food at the pub and friendly staff.

Very much let down by the washing and toilet facilities. Two toilets both rubbish strewn. One toilet had no paper, no light, and only luke warm water. Second had little paper, weedy luke warm shower in dirty condition. Toilet was spattered with faeces. During our stay the floor was washed but the toilet pan ignored.

Staff member sympathetic but nothing changed. Recommend visiting the hook Norton brewery best prebooked for the tour.

Reviewer: Mathew Smith1 1 review from this member

 Mostly uneven. Pub shut. Owner tearing about on Motocross bike at times. Plant hire company next door noisy from 7am and played loud music till midnight!

Toilet scruffy and no loo roll. Skip in corner overflowing. £10 a night for pitch but £12 extra for hookup!

Real shame as such a nice area.

 Good campsite, very cheap (£5 for a tent in peak season). Very nice pub, very much recommend the food and the local beer.

Only issue was, as others have pointed out, the dogs (St Bernard's I think?) from the neighbours that barked through the night on and off, and came into the field in the morning, coming right up to the tent which made our dog scared, and helping itself to the dogs food before I ushered it away.

I think better fencing is required to separate the pub and campsite from the waste processing place where the dogs live.

Staff friendly and very welcoming to dogs. Will definitely keep in mind if in the area again/recommending to a friend!

 Decent sized field at the back of a very good and welcoming pub and only £10 including hook up and a shower and toilet. If there is better value I would like to know where.

We didn't try the shower and toilet as we have them in the 'van so can't comment. The field was a bit uneven and on a slope but the ramps coped with it ok. We decided to eat in the pub and boy were we glad that we did.

It was excellent and plentiful. We will go again and would highly recommend it. We had booked a tour of Hook Norton brewery (about a mile away in the village) which was brilliantly done.

The guide obviously had a passion for his job (and I guess the beer) and made the tour fascinating. Top marks!

 We have stayed here on two occasions now for a weekend, mainly as we have friends nearby. A very dog friendly place, and Pub too, so be warned if this not for you. And yes I did step in it!

Great food from the Pub. If it is wet you may struggle getting up the sloped field from the carpark so drive round the back and come through the gate downhill to you pitch. Not sure of facilities as we used our own.

Reviewer: Summerdamson 3 reviews from this member

 Very cheap! Pub food was really lovely, as were beers and cider. Great place to stay and visit local brewery at Hook Norton. They also have accommodation in pub so serve breakfast in the mornings, which campers are welcomed to come in for! Grass had been cut before our stay but had obviously grown quite long before hand, so smelly damp straw left on ground. Noisy neighbours with large barking dogs who wandered in and out of site, do rather spoil an otherwise basic but nice place. Our advice would be to pitch or park as far away from boundary hedge as possible to limit noise from barking and skips being moved about at skip hire firm.
