What’s not there to like?
We recently joined friends who were staying at Orchard Lodge (Hard standing) and Orchard Meadow (Grass) for an 8 day stay before continuing onto the Caravan Club site at Pembrey. We were on the Orchard Meadow site where we enjoyed closely mown grass (The site is approximately 1 ½ acres) and each of the large, marked pitches have 16 amp electric and individual mains water – don’t forget to bring your mains water connection.
Both sites have their own access to their respective sites– even towing a large twin axle caravan presents no problem. On arrival check the notice board to see your allocated pitch number – if your names not there you may have arrived at the wrong site!
We were made to feel most welcome by Peter and Julie – every evening Peter would come around for a chat and to ensure that we had no issues. There is an information room but at the time of our visit there were no books, information leaflets etc. due to Covid restrictions. As this is a working farm (we had the pleasure of seeing sheep dogs in training trying to round up sheep in the field behind our site) dogs are not accepted.
Bibury itself is approximately 1 mile from the CL and is certainly worth visiting. Orchard Meadow / Lodge are close to all the popular Cotswold tourist attractions including Bourton on the Water, Moreton in Marsh, Chipping Camden etc.
It is hardly surprising that Peter and Julie are already getting bookings for next year – this really is a lovely CL with extremely pleasant owners and we will certainly be returning there again.
