Bo Peep Farm Caravan Park

Practical Caravan Top 100 Parks Awards 2005

Arriving at the site at the end of the half-mile Tarmac drive, visitors will be struck by a sense of spaciousness. There are five fields, some level, some slightly sloping, with pitches arranged around the perimeter to maintain privacy.
The two toilet buildings are spotlessly clean and are heated in cold weather. The first is situated in the old farm buildings and includes free showers, a dishwashing area, launderette and food preparation areas. The slightly larger, purpose-built second block is very well maintained. There are plans to improve the disabled facilities.
An on-site shop, housed in the reception area, stocks bread, milk, newspapers and other basic supplies. Picnic tables are scattered around the site, and the four miles of walks around the 84-acre farm will certainly keep you occupied.
A dovecote and a Grade II listed barn are two unusual features, while another unusual provision is the car/caravan washing bay, equipped with a power washer, which can be used for a nominal extra charge.
Dogs on leads are welcome at this site and are well-catered for, with a special path that runs alongside Sor Brook for one quarter of a mile. Plenty of bins for depositing dog waste line the route.
Although children are welcome, there are no designated play facilities or baby-care facilities in the sanitary blocks.
The site has 114 pitches, with simple but well maintained facilities for both caravanners and campers. The nearest village is Adderbury, but Banbury is also close by, and there is easy access to Shakespeare country and the Cotswolds.
A £1.50 discount is available for members of the Caravan Club.

The two toilet blocks are spotlessly clean and are heated in cold weather. The first block is situated in the old farm buildings and includes free showers, a dishwashing area, laundry, and food preparation areas. The second block is purpose-built and also very well-maintained, but is on a slightly larger scale. There are plans to improve the disabled facilities.

An on-site shop provides all the basic supplies such as bread, milk and newspapers. Picnic tables are scattered around the site, and the four miles of circular walks will certainly keep you occupied. A dovecote and a Grade II listed barn are two unusual features, while a more unusual provision is the car/caravan washing bay, which can be used for a small extra charge.

Dogs on leads are very welcome at this site, and are well-catered for, with a long dog-walking path that runs alongside the Sor Brook for a 1/4 of a mile. Plenty of bins line the way in which to place dog waste. Although children are very welcome, they are less well-provided for, with no designated play facilities or baby-care facilities in the bathrooms.

Bo Peep is a haven for country lovers as the driveway smoothly takes you from the B4100 into the peace and quiet of the woods. There are five different areas in which you can pitch up, each with its own character. The vast majority of these are grass, and they all have electric hook-ups (16A). Twenty eight all-weather pitches are available on request. The pitches are well drained as they are on a slight rise, with the land running down to the Sor Brook. The grass is also kept trim so you should have no problems setting up or packing away. In case your caravan gets muddy, a wash-down facility is also available.

The heated washrooms are in excellent condition. The chemical waste points are easy to use and have a separate waste water disposal unit. Laundry is taken care of in a double room block. Bo Peep is dog-friendly, as long as pets are kept under control, and dog-waste bins with plastic bags are dotted around the 84-acre site.

If you do wish to take a break from nature, there are plenty of Cotswold villages to visit nearby. National Trust properties including Upton House and Canon Ashby are in easy reach, as are Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, and Banbury, with its famous cross and cakes. There’s plenty of nightlife, with Adderbury and its five pubs just one mile away. Bo Peep has a CCTV system that guards the main entrance and road. The warden and manager also live on the site.
