Orchard Views Farm CL
A challenging couple of days as the mini "beast from the east" came in, but despite temperatures of minus 3 & a strong cold wind with some drifting snow, we had a lovely time on this tranquil little site just outside the village of Walcote. Hard standings, though a little muddy at the entrance, & a secure gate with a combination lock was a reason we chose this site & not too far from home.
We were met at the gate & let in & as we were the only ones there had the pick of the 5 pitches. We chose to go nose in & face the orchard, which would look lovely in the spring & summer, but all looked a bit bleak & muddy after the winter, but no complaints. Road adjacent is very quiet.
Fresh water froze whilst we were there, but not surprising considering the temperatures. Our vans Alde heating came to the fore & coped well as we have never been out in the van in the snow before. We had lunch both Sat & Sun in the village pub & the food & drinks were fine.
The owner Marie Keal & her husband are great hosts & it was lovely to meet them & visit their welcoming CL. We didn't visit any other local places due to the weather & only walked up to the wind farm about a mile away. Can recommend.
