Bruce Arms Public House in Wiltshire

Quiet campsite with great facilities including washing machine and microwave. Lovely hot showers. Very clean. Games supplied in the snug. Friendly, accommodating, staff and great food. Reasonable prices

We visited as a family for a Sunday roast, three of us had chicken and one beef. Beef was cooked to perfection, a whole half of chicken each and lots of veggies. Stuffing was home made and tasty. Our server was really attentive and friendly. Prices great. A good experience and we will certainly be back! Thank you

Just had two nights camping in our caravans with friends. Stefan and Dawn are great they make you feel welcome and so do the locals. The campsite is nice and the showers/toilets are spotless. We are local to the Bruce and will now be making this our go too campsite for relaxing weekends.

Dreadful place, poor quality food served on cracked crockery! Expensive camping in a field which crams people in revolting facilities 1 toilet and shower for each gender which is definitely not enough for the number of people! Though I wouldn't recommend using them as they are totally revolting, not clean and mouldy! No soap or loo roll and loo blocked!! There are obviously permanent residents as well!!

This is our third visit and lots of revamping done. A very warm and friendly welcome from Stephan and Dawn. Great dog friendly campsite behind the pub, reasonably priced at £25pn with electric, toilet and shower. Washing up facilities and free WiFi. Yummy food very reasonably priced, Sunday roast to die for, never seen such huge Yorkshire puds! We’re not drinkers, but lots of ales on offer. Thank you both for all your hard work, see you next year. Su and Trevor

A good, old fashioned, no frills pub which hasn't changed for years. (The public bar and snug could be used in a wartime film set.) Choice of real ales. Good value, tasty basic food. The Sunday roast is very satisfying for those who like gravy rather than 'sauce' and puddings rather than deserts. Local clientele mainly 'mature' males but pub is also used by local ladies' groups. Plus a variety of campers. Friendly welcome to all.

I stayed at the campsite with my partner in our campervan in early October. We had drinks in the pub and met the landlord Stephan & Dawn plus a local couple. We had a great evening and definitely want to go back to try the food as it sounded great. Lovely quiet campsite in the countryside...exactly what we hoped for. 🌟 🤩 ⭐️

A PROPER Pub! Camped over Saturday & Sunday night with my dog - The Bruce Arms was excellent. Saturday night supper was simple, but the sausages were very good, breakfast Sunday morning, spot on. Good walking with paths close by and a lovely part of the country. Many thanks to everybody at The Bruce Arms. Much enjoyed and will return

Fantastic Sunday lunch today great food good value and loads of it. I love this place great setting if your camping of just stopping by it’s always friendly and comfortable. Fantastic breakfast, a great menu and good prices for good food, and plenty’s of it.

Stayed at the Bruce Arms campiste for a week in July23. I was in my campervan and used the electric hook up. Great location and quiet. Great little campsite with clean toilets and free showers. Washing machine available at £3 per go. Pub was great with loads of outside seating. Loads of good beer options. Didn't try the food. I will be back.

Eight members of our car club camped here for a week in July. We had a couple of dinners and breakfasts in the pub, all of which were well cooked and great value. Stefan and staff were all lovely and very friendly. We all had such a good time that we plan to visit again next year. Thank you Stefan!

Stumbled upon this little gem over Easter weekend. Hadn't booked, but were able to accommodate our campervan. Evening dinner in the restaurant was very good, and all in made for a very reasonable stay. Thank you so much for a lovely stop over.

Very enjoyable stay. The walks are beautiful and The Bruce is situated in a fabulous position, the locals are very welcoming and if you need your dog groomed there is a fantastic groomer in the next village. Stefan is very relaxed and Tess behind the bar is a font of knowledge. I’ll definitely return.

Camping for 2 night with a Campervan and awning on a EHU pitch. The campsite was level, the pitch was plenty big enough even though it was a busy weekend and was quiet in the middle of no where countryside. The only issue is the lack of shower and toilet numbers, 1 toilet and 1 shower per gender was not enough plus the sinks aren’t big enough to have a wash in. Overall good value for money though The pub was simple tables and chairs but we were outside due to the heatwave. The beer selection was not as good as I hoped, no dark ales, only one lager. The food was excellent, limited menu but great value, the gammon was particularly good

Found this place almost by accident but so glad we did. Excellent campsite clean and tidy lots of space with electric and very accommodating as we were a large group. The pub was very quaint good food good bar and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend look forward to coming back

We can’t thank Stephane, Chloe and Tess enough for another enjoyable stay. The food is gorgeous, especially the full English breakfast with extra hash browns! The campsite is very clean and tidy, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. We would highly recommend this site to everyone, it is family and dog friendly. Can’t wait to go back for our next stay. Simon, Sarah, Joshua and Jasmine.

Stayed here for two nights in my camper van, site has lovely views, toilet block is just one toilet and one shower for the ladies and a sink and washing machine seen a lady finding out her knickers in the same sink people were using to was up would be better if they had seprate sink outside undercover for washing up would be much more hygienic, ladies were putting sanitary pads In the bin on outside of cubical which didn’t have a lid so was a magnet for flies and not nice to see as u walked past for a wee, toilet kept running out of toilet roll didn’t seem to be anyone cleaning loos and replenishing toilet roll good job I bought my own! There was always loads of grass in the loos as when they cut the grass they don’t have a grass box so all the cut grass goes back on the grass making the toilet floor a sea of grass all the time, ate in the pub on the Friday night my friend ordered fudge cake and the sauce was well burnt and stuck solid to the plate but they happily replaced it, I would stay again as it’s a lovely area but I will make sure I take plenty of toilet roll and would probably use my own porta loo than their toilets as more hygienic

We stayed for 4 nights in our camper van over Easter and had a lovely time. Although only 2 shower cubicles available 1 for men and 1 for women they were kept very clean so not a problem. The landlord of pub is a really friendly guy . Plenty of walks direct from the pub site so no need for car and very dog friendly . Will definitely return and fully recommend for a long weekend away.

Booked a campervan space with electrical hookup not knowing what to expect, but it was convenient for our plans. What a gem! The landlord and locals could not have been more friendly and welcoming, we felt part of the family! Great facilities and offer a tasty cooked breakfast on Sunday morning. We will be back!

This pub has been on my radar for a camping weekend away with chums as I have passed by on a motorbike and pushbike numerous times over the last 10 years. We planned to stay there last year but Covid meant last Autumn was off the cards plus I wondered as to how the change of landlord and the lockdown period had affected the place. As it turned out, the camping, the pub, Stefan (the landlord) and his team were excellent. The weather on Friday and Sunday was glorious but the Saturday (the day we were supposed to be cycling) was so wet we stayed in the Bruce from 9am (a fine breakfast there) to around 9pm, watched the rugby, drank plenty of beer (four beers on hand pumps) and caught up with each other for what the first time in ages. The pub serves food from 9-12 but despite no food in the evening, is still a popular spot for locals of all ages to just drink and chat; just what pubs used to be like. Evening food for Friday was found at the excellent Pewsey chippy and Saturday's was from the equally excellent Tale of Spice who will deliver to The Bruce. The campsite is the field behind the pub which is well drained and level with clean toilet and shower facilities at the back of the pub. All in all a superb weekend, excellent beer and thanks again to Stefan and his team for a great stay. I will return at some point and would recommend it to anyone looking to camp in that area.

A truly friendly, quiet and lovely camping site. The pub is a real country pub, no pretensions, very good value and above all people talk to you. The shower and toilet facilities are clean and cared for. All in all a very good site to visit. Say hi to Steph and staff.

We enjoyed a short break with friends at the campsite adjoining the Bruce Arms. The site is level and the toilet/shower facilities clean. There is fresh water supply and a dish washing area. The pub serves good beer and food at weekends, however, as we...

Great pub campsite staff food & beer well done stefan & staff 10/10 recomend this lovely site lovely walks for our little dogs

Amazing place to camp. Very friendly pub and haven't laughed so much for ages. I was made very welcome :-) Had a great time and great breakfast with great company. Look forward to my return. Lush :-)

Lovely friendly old pub with excellent ales, had a convivial evening with the locals and Landlord. Clean and tidy campsite, no silly rules! We will be back! Gary and Joao

Excellent pub with a great selection of real ales. Excellent breakfast on the weekends. Good value and excellent quality. The weekday menu is also the same. Highly recommend the gammon, egg and chips!

We decided to visit the Bruce Arms for one night of camping to get out of London, and have found a refuge we know we will keep returning to. Booking was really simple, and Stephan was very accomodating - we added on nights, and people...

Visited with my partner, was made very welcome by the friendly and helpful staff, as were the locals. A great choice of ales. Also called in the next morning for breakfast which was wonderful and good value for money. A fantastic country pub I would...

Wonderful pub with local real ales, delicious food and fantastic locals, a real countryside gem not to be missed either camping or dining.

What an absolute gem! Wonderful English countryside pub,set in the beautiful Pewsey vale. Have been a few times before and always thought it exceptional, but the present landlord takes it to another level. He simply cannot do enough to please everyone. Fantastic selection of ales,lagers,ciders...

Arrived no one to greet us, it was pitchup wherever. I went into pub to buy drinks asked barmaid if I could pay for pitch she didnt have a note of our booking. Some friends arrived for visit Thursday afternoon one of them used the...

Stayed at the campsite for the weekend. The camping is in the pub garden which was perfect. Electric pitches are around the outside of the field and non electric in the middle. We received warm welcome on arrival and when we went for drinks. Next...

Excellent pub, nice real ale and good food. Friendly service and lots of outdoor seating and covered areas. The camp site has toilets, showers and hook up points all round.

I spent just one night recently at The Bruce Arms with my bicycle and tent. What a fantastic place, welcoming, easy going and all importantly with superb facilities. Clean and hot showers. Friendly locals made for a terrific evening. Thanks Stef.

A fine selection of well kept beers and a well located campsite near the Kennet and Avon. Very clean facilities and a good shower - just the job after a day of hot cycling !

Excellent pub and campsite with great pitches and facilities. Beers/ciders were well kept and the landlord Steph was very friendly.

This pub with campsite has been revamped. It has excellent amenities, electric, showers, washing machines and now locally sourced home cooked food.

Called in here for lunch.... a very less than average lunch ! It appears to be a great spot for campers and locals are friendly as are the staff. But the food ??? Bland , luke warm and scant ! Fish and chips had 11 chips on.. and a spoonful of luke warm peas in a large ramekin bizarrely .Partner said fish was ok.Chicken and leek pie , clearly not made on the premises, was at least put in oven to crisp up. Another spoonful of luke warm wet peas in a huge ramekin served with a type of mash potato ( note type unknown) and the most ridiculous type of gravy I have ever seen in my life !! Pale brown liquid with a gel like form! A chocolate fudge cake was ordered and it was a good portion and grandson loved it. Tasted and looked good but an oddity of big tree like sprig of mint , covered in icing sugar plonked in the middle ! Drinks were perfect ! Staff were lovely. Just a shame about the food !Think they need to seriously up their game..and actually "cook "Fantastic but neglected herb garden ...shame its not utilised in some home cooked dishes ! It fed us. But certainly would not return for a meal but grandson would for the dessert ( not produced on site! ) Was asked if meal was ok. Did respond hmm ok ! But it was a young lady doing her job. Not the cooking ! Try yourselves, we all have different tastes !

Highly recommend the Bruce Arms for anyone who has interest in a peaceful campsite, with friendly fellow-campers and a warm and inviting pub with excellent hosting. This is to say, the Bruce Arms is a real find and a site well worth a stop. We didn’t use the shower block but found it clean and well-appointed. Electrical hookups well-positioned throughout the site’s pitches. Lovely area for scenery and walking. Big thumbs up.

Spent 2 nights caravanning, Steph was very accommodating and friendly and so were the locals who frequented. The facilities were spotless and more than adequate, the weather wasn't advantageous for us however I can imagine this pub will be bustling in the summer months as the field was plenty big enough with elect hook up to accommodate many a camper. Fabulous walks through the woods , ideal for dog walkers, the clincher was the quality of the Beer,,, "Excellent"...Will definitely be returning when the weather picks up and more than likely have our camping friends in tow too.

Just had a weekend at the Bruce camping. One of the friendliest pubs I've ever been to even despite Covid restrictions.Lovely little campsite and Stef made us feel very welcome as did the locals.#I can't review the restaurant because it is not open yet.Can't wait to get back there!

Had a fantastic weekend coming here, facilities clean, plenty of lovely walks around the local area. Made very welcome by Stephan. Definitely come back to this site again, family friendly and very dog friendly

Came across this place looking for a pub with camping, and so lucky I did. First the camping, very easy to book and very friendly. Facilities showers toilets very good clean & warm. Excellent place for walking, wildlife & the canal. As it is covid time didn't get to see inside the pub, a pity but it means I can go back which I most definitely will do. Sampled the ales whilst there, a good choice and the right temp and lovely crystal clear. 10 out 10. Staff friendly as were the customers. Would recommend an excellent pub.

Excellent facilities for camping. Plenty of space, good conveniences plus (more importantly) great Ales. We can't wait until the new restaurant opens. New work being done during this current lockdown using local tradesmen. DOG FRIENDLY! Roll on 2021! :)

Another great visit to this fabulous little pub with such friendly and helpful staff. Pump ales and a log fire, separate room with space to watch the rugby on super Saturday, as well as a comfortable lounge/music/games room. Perfect! Thanks Stef! We’ll definitely be back again after lockdown.

Very good, friendly with a warm welcolm, the bar staff are very helpful and polite, the camp site has good facilities, a great place to camp and have a few beers.

I visited this campsite and was pleasantly surprised with the facilities available to campers. The site is behind a lovely old english pub with some cracking cask ales on tap! The showers were hot, the facilities clean and the people friendly. Will definately be coming again soon.

The site is lovely and flat with plenty of space on each pitch. The toilet / shower block is clean and well lit. There is also a sink for washing dishes and a washing machine for anyone who needs it. The site is dog / child friendly. The pub is friendly and serves good beer, albeit with a small range and there is plenty of seating outdoors. There is also a large covered area outside which it kept well lit and is fairly sheltered. There are plenty of footpaths through the local countryside accessible from the site. Easily driveable distance to the Uffington White Horse / Stonehenge and Avebury is right on the doorstep. We stayed for a week and were able to see everything we wanted to without any issues getting there. The surrounding roads are beautiful and the journeys were a pleasure too. There are loads of places to see and things to do. I would definitely recommend this as a base for anyone visiting the area.

My husband and I had a lovely evening camping here, facilities are fantastic and clean. Pub has great beers and its a short (20mins) walk away from the canal. Friendly and helpful staff. Thank you - we will be back!

Me and my boy are new to camping. We stayed here and loved it. Everything we needed and So friendly, my boy Even got a can of Rio on the house and loved it. We’ll be back soon.

Can see why this place is popular with those who use there camp site & yes a good old type pub but sadly not very Covid secure - people standing at the bar & did not feel safe or comfortable sadly

Fantastic venue for campers but more importantly for me (non camper) the ambience and quality of the real ales is the best around.

Amazing camp site with great landlord really friendly pub and campsite absolutely love being here . Be on regular occasion and never let us down

Very strange as the website says, and I have copied and pasted this direct from website “ There are fresh water and chemical waste points and a recently built, heated shower and toilet block with washing up facilities to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible” . This was totally laughable as it was a tiny little block which looked very old with a mans loo (one) just inside door with the washing up sink directly next to the ladies toilet (one) which people were also using to clean their teeth in! Squeezed between the ladies and gents was one tatty, sad shower with mould - I refused to shower in it. The tiny little block was dirty and depressing. The pub is frequented by some interesting ancient locals. The camping field had several residents in tents and caravans who it would seem had not moved for a long time. I would not recommend this place or ever return as I felt, especially in these Covid times, that this place was a health hazard.

Excellent campsite. Great pub. So friendly. Would highly recommend. Clean toilets/ showers. Great for families/ dog owners or just couples.

A really great find! Came for one night, then stayed for four! A lovely proper pub with a friendly welcome and good tap beers. Clean shower and toilet block with washing machine too. We will definitely be back!

Excellent proper country pub. Great service. Good choice of drinks and camping was great fun. Very good to have a drink and be able to crawl back to our tent to sleep

Really good few days , we turned up to camp 3 nights and relaxed and enjoyed the peace and quiet, just been took over under new management and you can see they are planning and looking forward in these difficult times , friendly staff and locals with a good atmosphere , quiet pub and necessary facilities ie showers toilets , chemical waste disposal , water and hook ups if needed and more importantly the pub which is well priced and was told will be doing food in the near future , we will definitely be returning to see the positive changes and recommend stop overs if passing through ,thank you for a good few days

We had a 3 night stay, great welcome.. toilets very clean with male and female showers also with a washing machine. Everyone friendly the pub is lovely & quaint. No food at moment but new managers are making big improvements. Can't wait to go back. Wish you all the luck in the world. Thank you again

Stayed here for 3 nights July/August, me, my husband and dog. . We had a fab time! The locals are friendly. The Bruce Arms is under new management, they are friendly and made us feel welcome. There is a washing machine in the toilet block which also has one shower and toilet for females and one for females. They are kept clean. The new owners are making improvements as they only took over 4 July. I’m looking forward to returning.

The Bruce’s arms is a 10/10 pub. Was very accommodating for a group of us and gave us an area for us all. Good fun!

We came for a two night stay at the end of August. The first night there was a birthday party in the pub with very loud music but this was turned off promptly at midnight. The party guests (mainly boys) had been instructed to use the camping toilets and were using both the mens and ladies. The pub seems ok but no food meant we walked to Wooton Rivers to the pub there for lunch (group of 8 adults and 5 kids)The camping was ok but the facilities are not great, no hand soap, no toilet roll on Saturday evening and the hand sink in the ladies was not cleaned all weekend, the same piece of paper was on the sink the whole time and it was mouldy. The shower was hot and appears to have had work done on it but cobwebs above the door (and even bigger spider!) show lack of cleaning. Ceiling of shower slightly mouldy but as there is little extraction it would be a challenge to fix.For the price per night a better level of facilities and cleaning needs to be provided.Pub closed early on Saturday so we only had one drink.

Stopped off at a Sunday Lunch time on a walk. Biggest problem was selecting which beer to drink. Excellent choice available from Pig Swill yes that's what it's called from a local brewery. to regional Wadworths and 2 beers from further away including Timothy Taylors landlord. Excellently kept. We were allowed to eat our own food out side. Nice welcome from landlord and locals.

Came here last year for a couple of nights camping and were the opposite side of the road to the pub in a lovely field, just what we wanted. No fancy facilities, but nice nevertheless. This year we were round the back of the pub and what can I say - it was like a travellers site. A selection of run down caravans, some bits of car lying around, dog poo everywhere, drum and bass from 8 in the morning from one caravan, the landlords son wandering around in his pyjamas stoned off his head all day, a toilet and shower block that needed a complete overhaul and clean to the point that I stayed unwashed all weekend as I didn’t want to venture in there. The pub didn’t open until 5 each day so you couldn’t even go in there and drown your sorrows. We won’t be coming back.

I have written 45 TripAdvisor reviews and never had reason to rate anywhere with a 1 star until... now!The Bruce Arms, in reality, is not the one I see on their website. We stayed in their campsite for location reasons with intention to eat here but found that their advertised 'gourmet burgers' were only available every other Saturday lunchtime. No other food in sight at any time. On reflection, glad we didn't eat here. The campsite seems to have several permanent residents. There is no evidence of any cleaning/tidying up work taking place here. The rubbish skip was spilling over behind which was a heap of drinks' cans spilling out from split bin bags but the worst was the so called 'modern wash block'. One ladies toilet, one gents toilet, washing up/laundry area - all in need of an overhaul but... the shower! You just wouldn't want to use it with its disgustingly black shower curtain and gaping holes in the plasterwork. And, to top it all, there is a note on the wall saying "please leave this wash room as you would wish to find it"!!! Demolition and start again I say. Luckily, we had our own facilities. The pub itself is very basic but seems popular as a blokes drinking pub. One aspect that perturbed me was that when we went to pay for our camping by credit card, he said he would have to add on a 4% credit card fee to the bill. Does he not know this is now illegal. We paid cash.

Just spent a weekend here and had two excellent nights in the pub drinking with friends and the landlord, that's for the drink. I will be back next year so line up the Sambuka…

We recently spent 3 days here camping in a motorhome. We did not bring food - as would patronise the pub. First shock was no food served except alternate Saturday lunchtimes for burgers! However a good pub about a mile away along a nice trail at Wooton Rivers served lovely food thank goodness.The establishment advertises itself as a camp site - but the camping facilities are to a low standard. One water tap at end of camping area, tiny, unkempt, uncared for toilet block, one overflowing rubbish skip, no grey water disposal facilities.The pub only opens in the evening on weekdays - and not Sunday evening. The pub interior is shall we say "rustic".However the camping field is flat, and hook-up good (extra cost). It is quiet enough , but quite a few seemingly permanent residents dotted around the camping area with their possessions ( eg car being rebuilt, garden swing).So bring your own facilities - I mean ALL facilities that you will need !

We used the campsite, but found that the facilities were in poor condition or did not exist. Just one toilet for gents and one for ladies and shower abysmal. We never located any grey water facility.The pub has unusual opening hours - only open from 5pm weekdays, and not in Sunday evenings. We were surprised no food served on most days.The site is also home for residential caravans which were untidy. The hookup was quite a significant cost (£5) on top of the camping fee of £13.Would find a better establishment next time in Pewsey area.

This could be a fantastic place to visit but the whole place felt grubby and neglected. The facilities consisted of one toilet and one shower for the women and one for the men. They were very tired looking. The site has some permanent residents who didn’t cause us any bother but there were old cars and their parts scattered about the place. Won’t bother coming back.

We arrived, set up camp and had an excellent time. The pub was good, nice beer and good service. Saturday burgers were amazing. There is a lot of nonsense on here about a vicious dog... but it's nonsense, my two little dogs had a great time playing with the black lab and a beautiful dog called Peanut. Absolutely brilliant cheap break.

A friendly welcome from the Iandlord, a step back in time a traditional old English pub serving four excellent well kept real ales. We arrived on a Saturday when gourmet burgers were being sold, we weren't very impressed with both the price and quality. all our burgers were cold and our opinion rather bland, and the chip's soggy and thus I wouldn't have them again.Taking all this into consideration we would go to the pub again if only for the ales.

Nice quite flat field behind Pub , electric hook up good , close by water point , chemical disposal too . no grey water drain noticed , one toilet and shower for each sex so could see an issue here when busy .

Became dangerously overcrowded during our weekend stay. Only one shower/toilet per males and females, which were dirty and dilapidated. Piles of rubbish around the one bin. Didn’t want to risk the beer or burgers at pub.

We spent 2 nights camping with my family & 2 other families, the field is nice & flat, but it was really busy & the facilities did not cater for the amount of campers (1 female toilet, 1 female shower & 1 male toilet, 1 male shower) the sink in the ladies toilet is hanging off the wall, there was no hand soap & it was pot luck if any toilet paper. The shower was absolutely filthy & the shower curtain was disgusting, I would not & did not shower in there! Then there's the price, at first glance I thought quite reasonable, £13 for a caravan without electric, but then we were told it was an extra £6 per child (my kids are 4 & 5) so a total £25 per night! This price I'd expect to pay at a much better maintained site with more, clean facilities. We won't be back.

Went there yesterday and witnessed a customer who lives on the pub grounds ask a couple with a staffy if there dog wanted a fight with he’s. No sooner did he do that he then went over to the couple he’s dog following where as he’s dog then set upon the couples staffy dog leaving a cut on the staffy face. The owner went into the pub to ask for some water and salt as well as wanting to make a complaint which all in all was ignored. DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG TO THIS PUB UNLESS YOU DON’T WANT YOUR DOG TO COME OUT IN ONCE PIECE ALONG WITH A NICE VET BILL. The guy by the way just laughed as HE’S dog was attacking the couples dog. I have never witnessed such a disgusting incident on a night out. AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!

We have stayed her previously and enjoyed it, however we have just left as a dog called Seb owned by Tom has just attacked my dog leaving him bleeding. We reported this to the landlord who doesn't give a hoot as Tom lives there. Having spoken to a chap at the bar, the same dog attacked his just an hour earlier. Do not stay here unless you want to be surrounded by off lead dogs that are attacking guest dogs.

Stayed overnight and a very wet night too, but the hard standing available and electricity make it suitable for a stop at any time of the year. Landlord was very welcoming. Facilities were pretty good though we used our van for most things. The atmosphere in the pub on an early Sunday evening was "proper local" - i.e. friendly, chatty, animated with a very healthily mixed clientele. Good beer and cider. The pub is an area where the walking is excellent and varied and local villages are picturesque and quiet.

We hab a very relaxing week end at the Bruce Arms. Use to be the gammon if you listen to the regulars. We felt very welcome and the ales were excellent as well as the burgers. Thank you

We stayed the weekend at the campsite in the Bruce Arms. Nice flat field and very clean. Situated in a beautiful part of the country, the venue was great for one of the many motorbike meets we attend. BBQ equipment provided for larger groups at a very decent price. Pub in the evenings was a great traditional english pub, with good range of ales and ciders (although I partook in some nice G&T;'s). Dog friendly and very relaxed atmosphere. Looking forward to next years meet !

We stayed here over the bank holiday, they were very busy, but friendly and helpful. How lovely to have a drink in a 'proper' pub!!

Whilst every campsite is busy/full on a bank holiday, The Bruce Arms crammed more people than you could imagine into his small field. Horrendously noisy (at 0130), toilets were so unclean my children (and wife) refused to use them. If it were cheap, you may make excuses, although at almost £30 per night - seriously!!!

We camped at The Bruce Arms as part of the Blazing Trails weekend. Staff were friendly, helpful and served great beer and cider. The catering laid on was outstanding both for evening meals and breakfast.

This is a great little pub, an old fashioned local with friendly regulars and a good selection of beer. No food on offer, just conversation and people watching. I stuck my tent up in the grounds for £6, bargain. Camping facilities were clean and pleasant....

Originally booked what was supposed to be a large group. Matt couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Sadly numbers dropped on this occaision, but would be keen to use the campsite again in the future. Campsite was a nice flat field. Toilet and washing...

Pasé dos noches en los brazos de Bruce y me hicieron sentir bienvenido enseguida. La gente hacen que te sientas como local. Cervezas, Limpia la ducha y los aseos. Magníficos paseos para perros.

Visitamos los brazos Bruce en uno de sus fines de hamburguesa y sin duda volveremos. Llegamos a las 2 de la tarde y deben tienen anteriormente como el hamburguesas de carne estaban ocupadas. Ofrecían a hacer más, pero explicó que sería una larga espera, así...

El encargado, Matt, tiene un número de visitantes regulares al campamento. Este tiempo los amantes del rat de bicicletas. Muy divertido paseando entre las bicicletas ver todas las modificaciones de locos. Como es habitual, la acogida y la cerveza es genial.

Agradable pub, no estaba tan lleno como algunos de los pubs de la ciudad, para que pueda relajarse aquí. Encargado es acogedor super y hacen excelente hamburguesas en un sábado por la tarde. Bien con una visita.

Stayed three nights over the weekend. We had stayed before and we're looking forward to the same clean pleasant place it was back then. Oh how disappointed we were.The cost at £18 for a caravan with hookup is pretty average so no complaints there. £per person in a tent isn't bad either. Shame some of the money isn't spent on maintaining the facilities in a reasonable condition.Fully accept that one is in the hands of the people using them to an extent but they are filthy. We use the facilities in the van but we had campers with us, we had to let them use ours. There was no soap for hand washing and no hand drier. The facilities smelt like they hadn't been cleaned in months and by the look of the cobwebs it could have been years. To say the place has gone downhill is an understatement. No toilet cleaner or disinfectant and kept running out of toilet rolls. Even the Elsan point was pretty awful, I know users are expected to rinse it but it needs scrubbing with a toilet brush. Had there been one there I would have done it.In all we had a great weekend but that was in spite of the location, not because of it. Maybe it is because it was so crowded, there must have been 30 caravans and tents there and all in two showers, and two toilets. Needless to say we will never return. There are many more pleasant site to choose from, this just falls way below an acceptable standard.

Lovely pub, tasty beers, a super little sitting room with armchairs and sofas round the corner from the bar. We didn't eat in but the meals looked tasty.Matt, the owner, is friendly and helpful. We camped across the road in the overflow field. It was flat and 'clean'.There is 1 male and 1 female shower, use of which are included in the price. There is a crockery washing up sink and even a washing machine, although we only stayed 2 nights and didn't use the latter.We shall definitely return for next year's festival.Rosalind

The Bruce Arms is a fantastic, quirky little pub. Myself and friends/ family camp here as much as we can. The landlord Matt is very welcoming and always finds time to come and say hello. The field is flat and the facilities are well kept and clean. The pub is has a very homely feel to it and is very much original. Walking into the small sitting area is almost like walking into someones home. The function room has a pool table, darts board and a unique game that can keep you entertained for hours.Good selection of draught and bottles beers always available. Highly recommended

I was camping here in June, my second visit in a couple of years. Same as last time really, lovely pub, great ales, a nice frienldy atmosphere. several seating areas, one with sofas etc., one more traditional, another through another door, and a games room. Really nice, and I just wish they could move it to Swindon - about two doors down from me would be heaven.

on arrival we were welcomed by the landlord Mat, he let get settled in and pitch tents. We went down to the bar to pay where we found a good range of real ales on sale.The bar has a very friendly feel to it over several different areas. The camp site is well maintained and nice and flat with good amenities. Well worth a visit a nice place.

whaoooIt is a pub which bring back to you what pub suppose to be. Pick up my tent and had a warm welcome by the landlord , great time we will be back

This visit to The Bruce Arms' was the occasion of a local Sporting Party meeting early morning for Bacon Butties and Hot Coffee prior to facing the elements of a hostile Wilshire day.A roaring log fire greeted us along the beaming smile of Matt the Landlord who must be one of the very best ‘Traditional Landlords' in the UK.Car Parking is plentiful and The Bruce Arms also offers spacious Camping / Caravan facilities at the rear of the Main building for those who choose to enjoy this charming part of the Wiltshire countryside in a more basic form.The Bar boast a first class selection of Real Ales and is credited in the Camra Best Beer Guide, and we retuned after ours days sport to once again enjoy the ambience of this truly great wayside Tavern.

We camped here with our two children and had a lovely time. We brought our tent with us but we stayed in the bell tent as it was such good value for money. It's a beautiful location to explore and we will hopefully be visiting again soon.

Ive known this pub for 25 years and have seen it grow into a truly nice place since Matt took over. The one thing that's never change is the quiet colourfulness of the regulars which means that despite being busy with caravans and campers it never looses its country character.

Great weeks camping with a70th birthday at the weekend ,Matt was very helpful towards where to eat and drink and sightsee . Also one of the best sky's at night I've saw in a long time . Will definitely be back for a stay under canvas . Thanks again Matt

This pub is family orientated. The locals were very friendly and the campsite was very clean. Matt the landlord was very hospitable, the ale was spot on, they're dog friendly and Sunny, Caroline and myself will definitely return.Thank-you

We stayed at this beautiful looking campsite & through no fault of the Pub Landlord & owner we unfortunately had the camping neighbours from Hell. One was a loud mouthed English/Danish couple with 4 little kids & a crying baby (4 hourly feed obviously) & had 2 dogs that they let roam the campsite. The were in our tent & tried stealing our food while barking at everyone. Too bad if you're scared of dogs! The five attempts to erect their tent in different spots was amusing though. What looks like a residential caravan had a couple of dogs locked inside that barked & howled for over 2 hours solid. Other campers said this was normal & no point asking the owners to shut them up as they tried asking.Unbelievable noise yet the folks leaving the pub were quieter.Our 'neighbours & their dogs' didn't shut up til after midnight. THEN!...2 army helicopters started patrolling several times, directly overhead. They were however, drummed out after 1am by a drunken trio of guys - swearing, shouting & then put the car music up loud. We asked nice but had to go knock the landlord up. They put music down a bit before he saw them. He spoke to them but they were still loud for half an hour after too... and woke us all again at 7am revving their cars. They were still there when we left.We thought that being in the middle of the countryside it would be quiet. I've never known such noise that wasn't even checked. Really expected to have owner apologise in the morning but no sight of him. We got up & left before even bothering with breakfast as the big family were spreading out with their barking dogs etc already. If you don't care for noise-Fine!Toilets okay. Shower real mucky. Bins overflowing & most biting horseflies ever but it's only a fiver a head to camp so fair play. Ground is flat. Bbq is okay but keep it up on bricks.Overall. I love the campsite. I can handle the army & their movements but by the selfish rudeness of others this has marred it. The owner Matt was lovely. Such a shame. Really wish it was easier to have people quieten down or have an owner do a quick recce. We complained - yes! We're not moaning Minnie's or unreasonable people but to have threats from others so we lay awake for an hour waiting on retaliation at 2am or dogs in our camp then sorry. I'm telling how it is. First day of our holiday after an 8 hour shift. .. dang!
