We only stayed a night on our way south but I can see why people would stay much longer. The CL truly is wonderfully quiet, sheltered and peaceful whilst being close to so many interesting places. We followed the walking maps, so thoughtfully provided with the site information by Julie on our arrival, which took us a different way into the unmissable Bibury. Getting up early the next morning and seeing the village just waking up before the visitors arrived was very special. The site is beautifully cared for and the hard standings make it work well in all weather - which for us was as perfect as our visit! Thank you!
Just spent a very peaceful and relaxing couple of days at orchard lodge, arrived late afternoon left to set up and then greeted by Peter with some very useful information regarding lots of walks in the area, we went for a lovely meal at the Sherborne arm just down the road.Access is very straight forward and no issues there overall a lovely spot we shall be back.
This is an extremely pleasant CL with easy walking access to the local town of Bibury. It was straightforward to book on line with all there necessary information. We were impressed with the organisation on arrival and the friendly owner came to our pitch to make sure we had all we required. We enjoyed the rural setting and being able to hear the sound of the sheep in the adjoining field. Definitely a CL to revisit!
Only stopped here for one night on way home through the Cotswolds, but booked another 3 nights the following morning on the way home. Easy walk into Bibury with two excellent eating places , Well kept and warm welcome. Very peaceful and nice views. Already recommended to friends , who have a booked for next week!
This site has to be one of the best we’ve been to. What a gem. We only had a 2 night stay and the weather wasn’t being kind, it didn’t stop us from enjoying it though. A kind friendly greeting from the owner Peter. The rest has already been said. We most definitely will be back hopefully with our friends. Thank you Peter
Stayed here for 3 nights recently. The site is exceptionally well kept and managed. The owner popped down to see me shortly after arrival and explained the site and surrounding area. He also gave me some information sheets and maps for local walks.
This is a great location for anyone visiting the Cotswolds, or just to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the surrounding countryside.
He did mention though that the farm machinery workshop beside the site can be a bit noisy during the working week with tractors and vehicles moving in and out.
Well worth a visit and we will certainly go back.
Regards,
Mal
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Orchard Lodge and were sorry we weren't able to stay longer. Lovely owners, quiet and peaceful, easy access and lots of interesting places to visit. The sister site Orchard Meadow with grass pitches faces the main road and looks really nice too. I would have no hesitaton in recommending either of these lovely CL's
Despite COVID restrictions we were made very welcome. The site is perfect for walks to Bibury (two routes easy from the site) and a great base for a day out in Cirencester.
