Why stay here ...
A peaceful and scenic site, away from major roads, on a small working farm. Although close to M1/M6 and A14 roads the site is secluded and set in Leicestershire, on the borders of Northamptonshire and Warwickshire, so in a prime position to visit the sites of three counties.
The site is located next to the farmhouse in an old orchard with a very sunny aspect and still contains an apple and plum tree. There are 5 generous hardstanding pitches, all with electrical hook-ups and a wide curved roadway through the site. The site is accessed from a small tarmac country road through 18 foot wide double gates. A friendly horse and donkey live next to the site and the Red Poll cattle roam the fields within view.
The farm is half a mile from the village of Walcote, and the local pub is within walking distance once it re-opens in July 2016. There are a range of pubs and restaurants within a short drive. There are local supermarkets and takeaways in nearby Lutterworth, 3 miles, with deliveries often being made to the site!
The area is perfect for walking, relaxing or visiting local attractions like Foxton Locks, The Richard III exhibition in Leicester, Warwick Castle, Rugby, Market Harborough or even Stanford Hall 2 miles away.
The farm also has a self-contained Bed and Breakfast unit with discounted rates for guests with friends on the caravan site or CC members, making it a viable option for a family gathering.
Adults/Children/pets welcome.
Stay for a night or two to break your journey or enjoy the peace and quiet for a longer relaxing stay.

Nice little CL
Orchard Views
Have just enjoyed a couple of days at this lovely CL, the owners are friendly and stop for a chat the site is easy to get to and has all you want for a short stay at a CL. We will be returning very soon.
Peaceful
Orchard Views
Lovely site with a warm welcome from the owner. Quiet, birdsong and the donkeys were entertaining too! Well kept site and within walking distance to the local pub.
A great find.
Disappointing
Orchard Views
First impression when arriving at site was not so good as grass was very long with tyre ruts from inconsiderate caravaners on all the grassed edges, we had a two week stay, during this time the grass was never cut, the owners private lawned garden however was well kept and was cut while we were there. The hard standing pitches are long enough for most caravans but if like us you have a full awning then you will find the hard standing areas are only wide enough for a small porch awning, we did manage to get our awning up but was very difficult as all the pitches have grassed areas that bank up from the pitch making it impossible to site the awning correctly to the point where rain water collected in pools on the roof.
The recycling point consisted of two household size dustbins both were full when we arrived and weren't emptied for 3 days.
The toilet emptying facility left a lot to be desired, two large plastic carbouy containers with a centre access lid, a banking allowed for suitable height access but I found the reach to the centre awkward and the view into the container unpleasant with everybody's bits floating round.
We booked this site last year and was surprised to find electric meters fitted to all pitches, while we understand the reasons behind fitting meters we feel we should have been informed of the change should we have wanted to reconsider our booking, we did think that money in the meter didn't last very long.
Others users of this site were short stay and I think this site would be adequate for people traveling as it's only a short distance from motorway but for us 2 weeks was way too long.
