Good stop over

We followed the instructions to the site and found it OK. We actually found getting out of the site at the end of our stay more difficult than getting it. The site was obviously popular. It was full and had people arriving and leaving throughout our stay. We didn't meet anyone from the site whilst we were there. We enjoyed visiting Hay on Wye there was lots to do.

Super Site

Our first visit to this beautiful site, just what to expect from a well cared for CL. On arrival we were met by Lynda who was very friendly and told us to go and find ourselves a pitch and she would catch up with us later. Her father was mowing the grass and he inform us of the dog walks and the places to visit which was very nice. Lovely walk along the river into Hay on Wye where there is plenty of shops to visit and a small convenience store for groceries. Our only issue was on leaving as our motorhome is rather large and we also tow a car we did have problems turning into the lane and had to take the car off the motorhome luckily no other vehicles came down the lane but you do need to be aware of this if you also have a large caravan. Enjoyed our stay very much would certainly return again.

An absolute gem.

What a gem of a site. Other reviews have said it all. We booked for 2 nights, ended up staying 6, because we loved Hay & the site so much. It was lovely to meet Lynda having spoken to her on the phone, she couldn't have been more helpful in enabling us to extend our stay. We received a warning email from Lynda, she had one couple extend their stay to 15 nights & then bought a property in Hay, we have been warned. Thank you so much, Lynda, Chris & Pete.

Our second visit to Dark Orchard, a lovely large field intersected by a small stream, dog friendly, loads of room to pitch, no dedicated pitches so choose your perfect spot ! Short wheelbase units can cross the stream into the smaller part of the site. No electric. Very quiet spot yet only 10 minutes walk into the gorgeous town of Hay on Wye. Lots of local walks nearby, the main one being along the River Wye. Loads of lovely little shops and eateries. One of our perfect sites ! Just park up and everything is within walking distance. So relaxing.

Beautiful site, perfect location

A fabulous site set in the most idilic location. Super easy to walk into town and further afield. We didn’t use our car in the 5 days we stayed. Great walks out into the countryside - think we managed a 13 mile loop but you can make them much shorter and still see wonderful sights and history. Just be mindful of the narrowing entry and exit point before the gate. Well worth staying and will hopefully stay again. Bob and Clare.

Excellent site

Such a lovely site, so convenient for Hay. Nice level mown field. One small issue for us was the entrance gate latch was difficult to open. But still highly recommended.

Peaceful and convenient.

This site is very convenient for Hay-on-Wye with pleasant walks from immediately from it. The field is large and there is plenty of space for everyone. Some areas have a slight slope so levellers are useful. It feels very secluded and peaceful, despite being only a short walk from the centre of town. We enjoyed our two night stay. I highly recommend reading the information sent from Lynda. It gives very specific and useful information. The photos are a real help.

Peace and quiet in a fantastic location.

We love this CL, the location is superb, so much so that our vehicle stayed parked up for the duration of our stay. An easy couple of minutes walk into Hay centre, the well stocked CO-OP is also a couple of minutes walk away. We have stayed here before, but will definitely come back again because of the peace and quiet and the excellent location. We walked to Llowes on the Wye Valley Walk which mostly follows the river, but closer to Llowes I’d recommend taking the higher footpath (as shown on the OS map) because the views are really wonderful. Thank you Lynda for another wonderful stay.

Relaxing weekend

We returned again to our favourite CL in Hay in August. Very quiet and we even saw an owl, which was a first for us. We enjoyed a lovely welcome from Lynda, Chris and Peter, who always make us feel really welcome and share lots of local knowledge and tips of things to do. For us three, me, hubby and Ellie the Jack Russell, there's something for all of us. Super dog walks, shops and a castle!
