I stayed 12 nights at Yew Tree inn, the site is an adults only site and a bit more compact, which I found quite pleasing. The check in to the site is contactless, you just drive in and pitch up, I extended my stay to over the BH, I just booked again via the website.
The plots have EHU and a mix between hardstanding and grass.
There is a pub on site, which serves good beer / cider and food (no food Sunday or Monday’s), it’s either pizza or a burgers. I tried the pizza and it was really good, I also tried the ciders, though just beware they can be of a stronger alcohol content!
The facilities are satisfactory, there is chemical toilet / grey water disposal and drinking water tap. There are 3 washing up basins, 2 inside the hut and one outside, the 2 inside are much larger, in fact you probably could wash clothes in there as well.
The toilets are unisex 1 disabled with shower and 2 others toilets with 1 solo walking in shower. The hot water is nuclear hot, if you wash your hands, within 10 seconds it’s so hot, so have to add cold.
Phone and TV signals were good, you can see the transmitter, in the distance to the NW.
The bus stop is directly outside the campsite entrance the Northbound one to Hereford has a sign and the one to Gloucester (via Ross on Wye), is the entrance to the site, (no post sign), if you using either make sure you hail the bus with a clear arm signal. The 33 is great value, it’s hourly, I got to Gloucester for £4 return, same with Hereford. I downloaded the Stagecoach app and it’s good on live times. I visited Pluzzlewood, Symonds Yat rock and river walk, Goodrich castle, on my bike.
I was on the pitches, which backed on to the pub garden, I had no issues apart from on Saturdays the gardener will start up the sit on mower at 7.45am! The garden I feel, could get busy in the summer, so if you want a more quieter pitch, go for the ones on the opposite side (pitches 5-8).
My only gripes were the toilet paper in the blocks kept running out and sometimes, in the end I just took my own and 1 night had a motorhome on the next pitch arrive at 9.35pm and they were making noise banging away setting up until at least 10.45pm.
Also, on site in the first week a lot of noisy yapping dogs, behind the site there is a mobile home park and they too have dogs and sometimes the site ones barking set off them and it sounded a bit like cruffs.
All in all I...
Read moreCame to stay with my uncle Mike Johnson the cider guru, met some wonderful people like Jim and Jude,left feeling like my family had grown. People make a pub,not pool tables and fruit machines. Here you eat the best food,washed down with the best cider, with the company of people who welcome everyone with open arms,what more could you be looking for in a pub? Fantastic new shower block just been built, dog and child friendly, electric hook ups and camping. Great cider shop, live music and open mic nights. This place isn't a bar and camp site, it's a great community of cider lovers and hard working guys striving to provide a fantastic chilled out environment for everyone to enjoy, and believe me they more than achieve it. Thank you to all the guys who organised and ran the annual cider festival, and to all the guests who made it a truly warm and trouble free event. Absolutely free from lager louts,true family experience. Please take the time to rate this place after your visit, they all deserve...
Read moreWe adored this little spot, we did a hike near by and was on the lookout for some food and a celebratory glass of something. We found the Yew Tree and parked up, the service was lovely, so friendly and he walked us through all the different ciders, perries and beers that were available, some local and some further afield but a huge variety of choices, he let us try a few before we made our decision. The atmosphere was nice, a small fire burning, some board game to choose from, overall the pub was cosy and warm.
We also chose to eat here and were so glad we did, the pizzas were incredible. The menu had a good variety of different toppings and flavours to choose from, ordering was easy (although keep an eye on which days/times food is served). The pizza itself was lush, the crust was soft and doughy, toppings plentiful but not over the top, great size too.
I would highly recommend this little spot if you're passing or fancy a good pizza with a good beer in a...
