Why stay here ...
We are now taking bookings for the March to October 2024 season.
Orchard Lodge CL is located within a 10 acre small holding about half a mile from the charming Cotswold village of Bibury. William Morris once described Bibury as "the most beautiful village in England". The site itself is flat, about 0.75 acres and with a choice of hard standings or lawned pitches. All pitches have access to electrical hook ups, several have their own water tap and all have room for awnings. The site is secluded being sheltered on 3 sides by hedges and trees with an open aspect over one of our paddocks. Recycling facilities are provided.
The site is an excellent base for exploring the Cotswolds. It is about 6 miles from Cirencester, 7 miles from Chedworth Roman Villa, 10 miles from Burford, 11 miles from the Cotswold Water Park, 12 miles from Bourton-on-the-Water, 18 miles from the Cotswold Farm Park (Adam's Farm), 20 miles from Cheltenham and 21 miles from Westonbirt Arboretum. More details can be found in our Information Hut.
There is a bus stop 500 yards from the site with 5 buses a day into Cirencester and 4 buses back.
The Catherine Wheel pub serves excellent food at a reasonable price and is 0.75 mile away. Also serving food in Bibury are the Swan Hotel and the William Morris Tea Room.
Basic provisions (eg. papers, bread, milk) can be obtained from the Trout Farm which also serves teas and snacks. There is also a Post Office and gift shop. In Cirencester there is a full range of shops including 2 Tesco's, a Waitrose, Co-op, Aldi and Lidl supermarkets.
After a short walk on a quiet road there are a variety of footpaths which can be followed allowing circular walks from 2 miles upwards through beautiful Cotswold countryside and villages.

Another enjoyable stay….
Orchard Lodge
We have returned to Orchard Lodge for another peaceful break before the site closes for the winter. Everything is as good as before and the only change was the beautiful autumn colours of the trees.
We will definitely be back in 2024. Thanks to Peter and Julie for their assistance with our Sister’s booking when the email didn’t work…..they are always helpful and accommodating. See you next year!
Peaceful site
Orchard Lodge
Easy to find and a very warm welcome from Peter. Superb location for discovering the Cotswolds. Lots of information in the 'shed' and Peter recommended several pub/restaurants, all of which we tried and were not disappointed. Great WiFi although the TV reception was temperamental (probably due to the rather inclement weather). The only reason we deducted a star was because we have a Basecamp 4 which has a rear attached awning that could not fit on our allocated hard standing pitch. However Peter kindly accommodated our change of pitch the following day when another pitch became available.
One of the best.
Orchard Lodge
Had a lovely few days on Orchard Lodge and recieved a lovely welcome from Peter.
We have stayed a couple of times this year and will definitely return next year.
Great as a base to explore the Cotswolds
Orchard Lodge
We had 5 nights here in September 2023. Arrival was very easy and Julie came over to greet us as we were setting up. The weather that week included a terrific thunderstorm & we lost the power a couple of times, due to the storm. But the site owners Julie & Peter were brilliant at keeping us informed.
They are a mine of information about the local area.
It is a lovely site to uses as a base to explore the Cotswolds.
What A Gem
Orchard Lodge
From the moment we arrived this place was perfect ! Peter greeted us warmly with all the helpful information we may need for a great stay. The site was very well looked after and so very peaceful. Peter was very helpful with details of local cycling routes and village information. The surrounding area was exceptional and this was probably one of our best sites so far. Thank you Peter and Family, keep up the good work !
