Why stay here ...
We are now taking bookings for the April to September 2025 season.
Orchard Meadow CL is located within a 10 acre small holding about half a mile from the charming Cotswold village of Bibury. William Morris once described Bibury as "the most beautiful village in England". The site itself is flat, about 1 acre in size and regularly mown. Pitches are 18 metres apart with their own electrical hook up and water tap. The site has an open aspect with views over the Cotswold countryside. Recycling facilities are provided.
The site is an excellent base for exploring the Cotswolds.

More details can be found in our Information Hut.
There is a bus stop 500 yards from the site with 5 buses a day into Cirencester and 4 buses back.
The Catherine Wheel Pub serves excellent food at a reasonable price and is 0.75 miles away. Also serving food in Bibury are the Swan Hotel, the Bibury Court Hotel and the William Morris Tea Room.

Great upgrade
A really lovely peaceful site with a friendly welcome. We particularly appreciated our first opportunity at a CL to make a piped water connection to our aquaroll via the supply provided to each pitch, thereby avoiding the need for daily fill ups.

Welcome tranquility
A friendly welcome and helpful advice got us off to a great start at Orchard Meadows. We toured the local sites by bicycle during the day and enjoyed peace and quiet in a lovely rural setting during the evenings. A return is being planned already.

Great for walkers! Nice owners.
We came here to visit Bibury, but found the surrounding area has some wonderful ancient tracks, Roman roads and paths. We found Bibury to be far too rouristy for us, but worth seeing, however the area around is quieter with lovely countryside. We walked around 16.5 km/10 miles a day,... Show more

Fortunately there was a free pitch and we were soon enjoying the peace and tranquility of the English countryside. Although it is adjacent to Hay... Show more
