When my husband suggested borrowing his brothers caravan and going to Moreton in the Marsh, I was somewhat sceptical to say the least, but as he had already spoken to our two children (aged 3 and 5), who were absolutely delighted, there was no going back!

The site was spotlessly clean, the toilet/shower block was every nice, and again very clean. There was a small play area with swings etc, and another large area for playing football, crazy golf, boules and cricket, as well as a climbing frame.

The caravan pitch was on gravel, which makes it easier and less muddy if it rains. We were able to connect to electricity and water. Therefore there was no need to miss Coronation Street (how sad am I).
Seriously though, we had a great time. The children spent most of their time outside in the fresh air, mixing with other children. We were able to sit outside in the evenings with a bottle of wine and talk to other adults, happy in the knowledge that our children were enjoying themselves, and above all were safe.
Nearby there are many great places to visit - Bourton on the Water - with the model village, Birdland etc, Cotswold Wildlife Park, Hidcote Manor Gardens, Stratford Upon Avon.
