Perfect site for exploring the Cotswolds
Had a wonderful couple of nights stay at Orchard Meadow. Great location for exploring the Cotswolds with an easy walk to Bibury and a bus from the top of the road to Cirencester.
The site is very clean with plenty of space to ensure privacy. We were in the Meadow which is not adults only, the Lodge was fully booked however we were advised that they rarely get children visiting and we didn't have any during our time.
Very friendly welcome, provided great information on local walks, pubs etc and even a little shopping list if we wanted fresh veg.
Will definitely be back many times!
Excellent location for visiting The Cotswolds.
We stayed for a couple of nights to visit Bibury. The CL was easy to find due to the excellent directions from the owners. The owners gave us a warm welcome, made their availability known ( if we needed them) but apart from that were discreet. The walk into Bibury was about 15 mins and was safe and easy.
All in all a pretty, peaceful and convenient location. We would definitely revisit this site.
Great find
Our first time at Orchard Meadow. Warm welcome from Peter introducing us to the CL and surrounding area. Plenty of room on this well laid out site. Peter is a wealth of local knowledge and based on this we had a ramble along the old Hay Lane to Bibury village and a morning out at the local classic motor hub. Left with some lovely home grow veg. Looking forward to returning. Thank you from Jackie and Brian.

Great CL, Great Location
What a find. Beautiful site in a lovely location, within easy walking distance of Bibury, and very well placed for visiting other locations in the Cotswolds. The grass field was kept In wonderful condition, and having your own water supply and waste piped into the trees was brilliant. Peter was there to welcome us and give useful information about the area and facilities, also providing some local walks complete with maps. The fresh vegetables were an added bonus.
FANTASTIC CL
We absolutely loved this site. It is gorgeous. A small walk into Bibury which is a beautiful little village. If you want to go to the Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford, we can see the planes from this site. Really nice and helpful owners as well. We definitely recommend this site.
Perfect CL
Nice warm welcome from Peter with an information pack and order form for his home grown vegetables.
Must be one of the best CL's in the country. Easy access off a quiet lane to a beautiful flat grass field with plenty of space.
All pitches have 16amp electric and a water tap with grey waste emptied into the hedge.
Good CDP, rubbish bins and a nice information hut, Good WiFi .
Lovely views from the peaceful site and glorious walks straight from the CL.
Only a short walk into glorious Bibury one of the jewels of the Cotswolds.
Booked for the Fairford air show this year, perfect to watch the aircraft fly in and practice.
Super CL in a beautiful location.
2 adults / 2 nights in VW camper van 6-8 July 2023
Orchard Meadow is an all grass site with spacious pitches situated on a quiet lane. Julie and Peter run two Orchard CLs at the same location. Both are dog free, but the other site, Orchard Lodge CL, is smaller with hardstanding.
The location allowed us to leave the van on site and get everywhere we wanted to go on foot or by bike. The lack of toilets / showers was no problem because we were able to use our portaloo and shower tent.
We were welcomed on arrival by Peter who was absolutely charming and explained how the site worked and gave us lots of information about what to see, where to eat etc. He also gave us a map of two lovely local walks both of which we managed to do. We were really impressed by Cirencester which we visited on ebikes - 17 mile round trip on mixture of stunning single track lanes and quiet roads.
Woke up to see two green woodpeckers feeding on ants near to the van on the day we left!
Highly recommended.
P.S. Excellent wifi!

Lovely site
Peter welcomed us shortly after we arrived, and once again outlined the site and surrounding area, with useful advice for walking, biking and eating! It’s a lovely site, flat, huge pitches and a relaxing place to stay. We appreciated him advising different places to visit as we had stayed before. The information room is also full of good ideas. Bibury is a beautiful place, and lunch in the Trout farm is always a pleasure. I’m sure we will be back again!

A truly lovely CL
Having previously stayed at Orchard Lodge CL, this was our first visit to Orchard Meadow. It is a very well presented site with stacks of space between pitches. Really well stocked information hut but even better is the fact that Peter or Julie welcome each guest and explain what’s on offer in the area. Peter provided us with maps featuring two suggested walks which we completed and really enjoyed. It’s only a 15 minute walk into Bibury which an absolutely charming Cotswold village with a good pub serving decent food. Overall this is a CL which we would highly recommend and will definitely be revisiting.
