    Great park up nice and quiet 20 mins away from supermarkets. A few fellow campers too, plenty of room to park for atleast 20 cars/vans.

    Just stopped for lunch. Toilets open, cafe closed. Great stop, thanks very much to the Community.

  • 4/5

    A great park up next to Sweetheart Abbey, only 3 other vans the night we stayed. A very peaceful night’s sleep. Public toilet open all night, water tap in the women’s. Convenience store selling all the basics, cafe next to Sweetheart Abbey. However, very strange pub, most of the taps were off, didn’t have a lot of drinks and cash only

    Excellent stopover here 2 nights ago, quiet and flat but: 1. pub landlord suggested our tyres would be let down if we didn't donate £5 to the community fund (happy to make a donation but not under threat) 2. planning application notice proposes change to T&Cs for parking (marked bays, charges?)

  • 5/5

    Large, quiet flat car park. Other apps suggest donating £5 or more in the community box up at the pub as a good will / thank you gesture. We stayed on a Thursday and there was a fish & chip van in the car park which did very nice chips! Please leave this car park as you found / would wish to find it if you want it to continue to be there. Our neighbours disappointingly let their grey waste out.

    Very nice, quiet, cafe at entrance, 7 motorhomes here, no worries. Just what we need and like. If self sufficient it's spot on. Toilets including disabled, if you have a key then all the bases covered. They were open all night, we'll be back. Thank you New Abbey.

    Vam fer aturada técnica per dinar i veure l'Abadia, no ens vam quedar a dormir, però sens dubte és un bon lloc per passar la nit.

  • 5/5

    Super spot pour jour, nuit. Très calme, sous les ruines de l’abbaye. Derrière nous un champ avec plein de petits veaux … Devant un immense terrain de boules anglaises. Des toilettes publiques ouvertes avec possibilité de prendre de l’eau dans un bidon dans les toilettes des femmes. Une poubelle. Calme, agréable, beau village. Aucun problème de sécurité. Surtout gardez cet endroit propre svp

    Great spot. Nice and flat. Couldn’t wish for anything more

  • 5/5

    Quiet car park, several other campervans/motorhomes. Bins available, toilets in car park. Next to an impressive ruined Abbey. New Abbey is a very pretty and quaint little village. A lovely quiet night's sleep.

    Fab spot! peaceful, toilets open, lovely look around the Abbey too while here. would recommend climbing criffel down to road! superb views!

  • 5/5

    Very peaceful night, only overnighters on the car park. Good pint in the Abbey Arms Hotel 2 mins away, landlord very informative about other places to visit and park for the night. Toilets were open all night, though landlord at the hotel told us they are usually locked overnight.

  • 5/5

    Great free park up. The cafe by the entrance to the car park is brilliant. Was busy on a Sunday until about 4ish. 7 vans total staying 11/9/22 but loads of space. Toilets aren’t the best and were shut overnight.

  • 5/5

    Really good free little spot for about 20 vehicles with a fantastic view of the abbey. Toilets free and open all night

  • 5/5

  • 5/5

    A really interesting spot next to the wonderful ruined abbey. Plenty of room in the car park, we’ll set back from the quite busy road. Good toilet and bin facilities. Nice village shop and pub across the road. Great thanks to the villagers who welcomed us.

  • 5/5

    Lovely quiet village with excellent tea rooms on the edge of the car park. A pleasant short walk through the grave yard and field down to the river.

  • 5/5

    Stayed here on the 16th July. A large car park.There was one other campervan. Very quiet and peaceful. There are toilets open 24 hours.

  • 5/5

    A beautiful spot in a beautiful village. Toilets stay open if the locals see you in the car park. There’s a cracking tea room, local shop and pub in the village along with some great walking routes too. There is a tap in the cemetery - not for us. Responsible one nighters are welcome. Dirty campers /people staying too will long put this lovely spot at risk of closure.

  • 4/5

    Toilets and a tap. Room for quite a few vans. Very quiet night. Stayed just the 1. Great walks locally for you and the dog. Route details available on the boards on site. Beautiful Abbey ruins to capture on camera at su rise and a great cafe on site. Gets very busy during the day. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5

    Easy to find, plenty of room overlooking the abbey and fields with cows for neighbours. Toilets are open (and I think possibly all night too). Five other units there so felt very easy and safe for my first ever off-site camp.

  • 4/5

    Lovely spot, large car park very peaceful with nice views over the fields and Abbey. Toilets are shut at the moment I expect due to Covid-19. We would definitely recommend..
