2 night stay at Orchard Lodge
First time at this CL and very likely to return. Julie and Peter were both very welcoming and provided all the necessary site information and also details of local walks, sites etc. The pitches were well spaced and level. Overall the site is very quiet and peaceful with only a very occasional sound from the farm machinery site next door during the day. Easy to walk into Bibury and the less popular but possibly more pretty Ablington. Bibury does not have any real stores for provisions unless you fancy paying £6.00 for a soda bread loaf from the “Twig” coffee shop! The nearest pub as you walk into Bibury, The Catherine Wheel, serves very good food and drinks that are not over-priced. On this occasion we didn’t take our bikes but this was a pity as we missed out on some excellent quiet lanes which we will have to explore on our next visit. Overall this is well worth a visit to this Cotswold site.
