A very special place. Stunning location, swimming pool and pub on site. Nice pub with good food a short walk down the hill. Most impressive thing is the personal care and effort involved in creating and improving this great site. The toilet facilities are cramped but very clean and are undergoing improvements but this is more than made up for by a pool that’s better than I expected, an outdoor shower, games provided, a warm welcome, hammocks under trees, the most relaxing atmosphere and stunning views. This place is reassuringly (relatively) expensive. I highly recommend a visit before the secret gets out!

What a special place! We stayed for two nights for my son's 21st birthday and could not have enjoyed ourselves more. Matt (the owner) was welcoming from the minute we arrived and gave us a tour of the incredible facilities. Its a beautiful, calm, incredibly well thought out site - clearly built with love and care, we could have stayed for longer! Six stars must also go to Toby who, not only serves an incredible pint, he makes a stunningly good coffee and is a thoroughly nice bloke! Communication was excellent and it really is a gem of a place with a view to die for! We will be back!

A true hidden gem! Probably the most chilled weekend away we've had as a family.We booked a family yurt with hot tub for the weekend and couldn't have been happier.The Yurt was well equipped with plenty of electricity points. The beds were also really comfortable with nice duvets and extra blankets.Craig leads up the front of house team and he was always on hand to play ball, keep the chickens in order or check in on the cows. He's a particular fan of volleyball! Craig is supported by human side of the team - Matt in particular was always on around to open up the pool or chat round the fire pit with guests. The whole team were really accommodating.We were really lucky with the weather and all caught the sun in the middle of May!But it did mean we could spend an hour in the pool, before retreating to our hot tub to warm up. The pool is heated, but this early in the season it falls into the warm once you get in category.There was no catering onsite when we went - but we were told this would be changing soon. The shared camp kitchen has a plenty of fridge space, a freezer, microwave and kettle. They were happy for us to cook our own food and we enjoyed eating in our private covered seating area watching the cows in the field.

Had a wonderful time at Willow Hill Farm, great views & a great vibe. Only stayed the one night but thoroughly enjoyable & we all wished we could stay longer. We were celebrating a 60th birthday & our party of 32 were well looked after by the very welcoming, helpful & friendly staff , a special mention must go to Sam who was always so helpful & willing to answer any questions & seemed to be everywhere !We will be back .

Just got back from a lovely two nights stay here, and it was just what we needed! Tranquil,peaceful,great pubs, friendly hosts and a wonderful dog!We originally booked the bell tent but upon arrival was upgraded to a lodge with hot tub free of charge. As this was for my husbands 40th this was a lovely unexpected treat.Matthew the owner was lovely and very hospitable to us and our two girls and made us feel very welcome and of course not to mention craig the farm dog 😂The site was lovely, amazing views, clean amenities, great pool and hot tubs.I know the site is under some changes at the moment and there was no chef onsite but this didnt have an impact on our stay, we brought some of our own food and drink and ate out at some of the lovely pubs/cafes.The lodge we had was very cosy and room for all of us and the dog. All very clean and comfortable beds and warm bedding. It was a little chilly so between the electric fire and the fire pits it was great.Tewksbury was a lovely town to visit and the Abbey.Would definitely recommend and will be coming back again.Thanks again willow hill 😊

A wonderful setting with everything you could possibly need. The bar staff were lovely, especially Nick who went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable and Craig the dog of course! We had x3 children with us who were thrilled to be able to have the sea food platter made in a smaller version for them too! (honestly that and the pool made their weekend!) for us it was the relaxed vibes, beautiful views, lovely staff, amazing food and great facilities that made it 110% perfect! We absolutely loved our weekend break and will be back again soon. Thank you so much to all the staff! You were all brilliant!! Mckinlay (Labrador) family 💕

After spending a weekend away here last year we were so pleased to aee that Willow Hill were open again this year.We spent 3 days in this idyllic campsite. We stayed in one of the bell tents and also had the retro caravan for our son. From the moment we drove through the gate we relaxed.The bell tent and caravan was wonderfully decorated with extra touches and had everything we needed and more. We had a table set up for us and a fire pit ready to go. Check in was easy, and a tour of the site immediately made us decide that we didn't want to leave!The amenities had been upgraded but still had the rustic charm we enjoyed last year. My son spent the majority of his time in the large pool and the terrace was perfect to sit and watch him whilst having one of the local beers that they sell or playing table tennis with a little help from Craig the dog, when he isn't rounding up the free ranging chickens!The bar and restaurant was set up with inside and outside seating, perfect to roast Marshmallows on the communal firepit or sit and have a cocktail.The food was fantastic, using local produce and daily changing menu. The chef clearly has passion for what he does.Matt and Ruth are superb hosts, going out of their way to make sure that you are enjoying your break. All the staff are helpful, friendly and go above and beyond and clearly enjoy working at this fantastic place.We had already recommended to friends who also had a fantastic experience and we will continue to recommend to anyone and will hopefully return next year.
