Perfect

Orchard Meadow
Must be one of the best CL's in the country with warmest of welcomes from the charming owners. 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 fast WiFi that covers the whole site. Please note no dogs allowed. Lovely views from the peaceful site and glorious walks straight from the CL. Including beautiful Bibury one of the jewels of the Cotswolds. Perfect location for visiting so much of the Cotswolds including Cirencester, Burford, Bourton on the Water,Stow on the Wild etc. Already booked again for next year to coincide with Fairford Air show just 15 minutes away and can often be seen from the site or from view points a couple of miles away. Must be in the running for CL of the year, it gets my vote.

Off road cycling

Orchard Meadow
After a very friendly welcome, there is a very useful information cabin containing a lot of pertinent literature . This is an ideal site for basing normal cycling on quiet roads and even off-road on bridle path cycling. An excellent quiet location , definitely work a visit for either a single night if passing through the Cotswolds or a base for walking, cycling or exploring. Fabulous is an accurate description. Bad point is that I had to go back to work!!!! Could have stayed much longer.

Great stay with friendly, helpful owners

Orchard Meadow
The site is easy to access, and your pitch location is detailed on notice board by arrival gate. Very large flat field next to the owners house. Electricity and water on each pitch. The toilet disposal point and refuse/recycling bins all to a high standard. The owner is friendly and informative and called in daily to make sure everything was ok and chat about things to do. The site is peaceful and has a good vibe to it. Very happy to recommend.

Beautiful CL

Orchard Meadow
Beautifully well maintained CL in a lovely part of the UK. Owners very friendly and gave us lots of information about the area. Local pub in walking distance (10mins) and a great coffee shop. Fabulous walks from the site and within a short driving distance. We will definitely be back.
