Beautiful CL Site

Orchard Meadow
We stayed recently on Orchard Meadow and it was wonderful place to stay. The CL is very well looked after, very clean and the generous spacings between the pitches allows for a good deal of privacy. Peter was very knowledgeable and gave us good advice on local places to visit and the information hut provided us with plenty of ideas for days out. We will definitely return.

This is a beautiful CL, very well kept and very peaceful. Being a working farm there will always be the odd noise but nothing to distract you from enjoying caravanning! Will most definitely be returning....

Perfect CL!

Orchard Meadow
The site was very easy to reach and we were met by Peter who told us all about the area and gave us info and a map for walks etc. And while we were setting up, Julie appeared with ice creams for our grandchildren! ( and lollypops on another occasion .... how kind is that! ). The site is, as the title says, perfect. It's a good sized, well mown field with a line of trees between the field and the road. There is minimal traffic noise from this small road so the site was very peaceful. It was very useful having our own water tap. The site is definitely well placed for Cotswold villages and we'd definitely return. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Lovely CL near Bibury/Cirencester

Orchard Meadow
We were traveling to Wales and booked this site for its convenient location for 3 nights on route. It turned out to be a great little site. Well located within walking distance to Bibury and Cirencester was a short car journey away. Lovely hosts who were welcoming and informative about the local area in general. What we did not expect from the booking was a serviced pitch and Free WiFi which was an added bonus. We would highly recommend this site and will be visiting again
