Well Organised, quiet, excellent

Friendly owner, who met us on arrival. Passed on some local information, ensured we knew where everything was. Site is clean, tidy and well organised. Quiet, no barking/yapping dogs, a BIG bonus. We visited in March, and had hard standing pitch, EHU and fresh water on pitch. Free wifi onsite. How a CL should be.

Lovely Site, Owners and Area

Just a really well kept site, in a beautiful part of the world. Lots of lovely villages and NT sites around, don’t ignore the local village. Local Roman site a must, as well as Snowhill, both NT. Owners really friendly and helpful. Booked again for stop off going to Cornwall. But, it’s a destination in itself.

Fabulous CL

We have just returned home having spent a fabulous time at this CL site just on the outskirts of Bibury. Prior to our arrival we received an email from the owners, Peter and Julie, apologising that they wouldn't be there to meet us due to a prior engagement, however, within an hour of our arrival, Peter was knocking at the caravan door to welcome us and to provide us with information about the surrounding area. Within minutes, Julie, had arrived. What wonderful people. They were so informative about the site and the area. Very few rules on the site, but what rules there were, were common sense and quite reasonable. We had been allocated a pitch prior to arrival and were more than happy with it. The pitches are a good size and the site is well managed and maintained. On Peters' recommendation we undertook the alternative short walk to Bibury during our stay and I have to admit that it was well worth it. The surrounding area is well worth visiting and despite the fact that we had stayed in this area previously there are still many places of interest to visit. One in particular was the Roman Villa at Chedworth. We have to congratulate Peter and Julie for the effort that they have put into making this site such a wonderful place to stay. They are obviously very committed to ensuring that their guests enjoy themselves. We would have no hesitation in recommending this site to family and friend and we have every intention of returning again next year. Thank you both.

Fabulous Stay

We have just returned from a great 8 night break at this truly lovely site. Directions were easy to follow and our hardstanding pitch with ehu and water tap was found through a gated gravel driveway. As others have mentioned, the hosts are super welcoming and provide an excellent information pack with walks and recommendations to local restaurants and pubs which compliments leaflets and maps available in the information hut. It was with a heavy heart we left on Sunday. There's a bus at the end of the road and many beautiful towns, villages and attractions to explore within around 30 mins driving and walks a plenty. Alas not open over winter, we will have to wait until next year to return. There are 2 sites, this one with hardstanding and the meadow with the same facilities on grass pitches (I mistakenly put my original review there).

Lovely site in a great setting...

We enjoyed a short break at Orchard Lodge this weekend. A great location for exploring picturesque Bibury. We went on some lovely walks which were recommended by Peter. The site was very peaceful and we will definitely return.

A lovely CL!

We visited Orchard Lodge CL recently and found it to be lovely little site. Each pitch was clean, well served and information regarding the area clearly offered. A bonus for us was walking to picturesque Bibury (inc the Trout farm to get trout for tea!) and access lo the bus which we took into Cirencester. We had a lovely 3 nights and would highly recommend - we'll hopefully be back! Thank you Julie and Peter.

Perfect place for our first outing in our new Basecamp 2.

Nice flat CL site with 4 hardstanding and 1 grass pitches. Note each pitch has its own water tap, with waste water into the hedges to keep them green, and of course electricity. We chose this site as it was just a 1 1/2 hours drive from home, this being our first outing in our new Swift Basecamp 2 caravan. For the techies among you this site has the fastest and free WiFi ever - >100Mbps up or down! Peter the owner and host was very attentive and helpful, supplying maps and other information. Great walks from the site with pubs locally at 1 and 3 miles away. Highly recommend this CL.

A great CL in the heart of the Cotswolds

New to CLs we stayed here for 3 nights on the way back home from Dorset. A clean and well kept CL with water and electric on each pitch. Easy access to bins and recycling by the gated entrance. Nice view over farmland. Easy drive to Cheltenham, Gloucester and Cirencester. short wak into Bibury. Warm welcome by the owner and plenty of local information provided. We would definitely stay again next time.
