Cotswolds , Hoburne

Have had great breaks here at Cotswolds Hoburne for reasonable prices, lots for kids to do in all weather. Good points include the pool, pitches, sauna steam facilities, location..

Not too commercialised like some sites. Plenty to do, or not to do if that's what you want. If weather not too good, the reception, entertainments area is great to sit and admire view over lake.

Plenty of places to visit. Bourton on the Water, Cirencester, Stroud, Swindon. Village Outlet, near Swindon, is worth a visit.

I have been using the Cotswolds Hoburne campsite since 1994, and keep returning time and again. It is a cracking place for a fun Weekend. Toilets are good and cleaned often, and you get free hot water and superb leisure facilities. 2 pools (1 indoor with flume), sauna, steam room, and no extra charges apart from sun beds.

Contrary to another review, I have on many occasions (including June 06) pre-booked a specific pitch for £43 for a full weekend break (not holidays). It includes a pitch from midday on Friday until Monday at 10:00am for 6 people all inclusive.

We travelled with two other families (both of who were in tents) with our tourer to the Hoburne campsite in the Cotswolds. Despite a block booking and reassurance that we would all be pitched together (the whole point of going away together!), we were all separated out. Difficult to have a evening with various under fours in tents and caravan dotted around the site. We asked on arrival for all three pitch numbers and discovered that they were spaced out. We asked to be moved, and we were told that all pitches were pre-booked, and that tourers were not allowed in the same area as tents. To our surprise (not), tents and tourers were mixed, the staff just could not be bothered to sort it out.

We stayed for one night, as we arrived after dark with three hungry kids. We will not be returning.

Hoburne has everything a family needs,pools, fishing, ballpit,crazy golf, tennis,sauna clubhouse and restaurant,amusements. Many a good weekend has been spent here by my family.
