Perfect Location In Rural Setting Of Cotswolds and Bibury

Directions were perfect and found site without any problem. On arrival met by owners who were extremely helpful with information about site, COVID requirements and local area. Site is flat and pitches are spacious and with good hard standing. Site has water, electric hook up 16A and there is a grey water and brown water disposal. Village of Bibury is wonderful and visited the trout farm and sampled the wears. Worth a visit. The better pub in the village is the Catherine Wheel where the beer is good, welcome great and food plentiful. Service in other hotel / bar somewhat lacking. Site has great walks and is situated in beautiful countryside. Only downfall we felt was the farm / machinery repair centre next door that did wake up up with loud hammering at 7.30 one morning but overall not an issue. Excellent, secure gated site with CCTV, lots of information, and in a great location and we would easily return again if in this area.

Excellent Site Located In Picturesque Cotswolds

The site was easily located and accessible with a warm and friendly welcome on arrival. Owners provided lots of information on the local area including walks, places to visit and more scenic walks to the village. Site was excellently maintained, secure with gated entrance and CCTV. Pitches were excellent and supported both caravans and Motorhomes. Local village bibury was a real gem with lovely walks, trout farm (must to visit and sample the trout). Recommend the Catherine Wheel pub and food was excellent and welcoming. Would stay here again without hesitation.

Cotswold Gem

We needed a local site to try out our new caravan and this site being 25 minutes down the road fitted the bill perfectly. Very easy to book a pitch online via the sites website. Paid by BACS before arrival. Clear notice on the noticeboard along the driveway advising which pitch you are on. We were warmly greeted by Julie within minutes of pulling in and then given time to pitch up before she came back with some local information and explained where everything was. All pitches have EHU, water taps and grey waste can be piped into the hedge/field edge which makes them fully serviced. We were on pitch 5, which is the smallest of all in Orchard Lodge, but still plenty of room for our caravan with the car beside on the grass. If you had a big awning you may find that pitch a bit tight. It is also the only pitch that is directly opposite another, but this was no problem for us as the campervan opposite drove into pitch 4 so we weren't facing each other. We got on and off the pitch with a large twin axel caravan with no bother. Despite heavy rain and wind whilst there the hard standing drained well and the site was sheltered. There was some noise from the agri dealer next door but this was only for a short time in the morning on Saturday. Suspect it is busier during the week, but if you like to sit by the van and think this might bother you, you could book in to Orchard Lawn which is not as close to the yard. Site is clean and tidy and felt very secure being set back from the road behind a gate, with CCTV. Access to the site from the A419 was easy and the final bit down Hay Lane was no problem, with an easy entrance into the site. There are plenty of things to do in the area, both close and further afield. Peter popped by on our last day to say there was no need to rush to pack if we didn't want to as there was no one coming in after us. Which was a nice thoughtful touch. All in all a really lovely site that is a credit to Peter and Julie.

Excellent CL in beautiful location

Lovely flat site. Each pitch has electricand own water supply - great for motorhomes! Owner provided printed maps with a couple of local walks highlighted. A nice touch. Nice to have wi-fi access. Right on limit when in van, but enough for quick access to your email! TV reception good except for pitch nr1.

Utter Gem

We stayed here for two nights and what an absolute gem. There are two CL's on site Orchard Meadow has the grass pitches and Orchard Lodge has the hardstanding, with our motorhome we stayed on lodge and this has water and electric at all pitches. Peter was very welcoming and gave us an overview of the area and local walks etc. The village of Bibury is very nice and there are some fantastic walks all around the area, we did have a meal at The Catherine Wheel and all of us had the local Bibury Trout which was very good. We will definitely return as there is much more to explore and the site is fabulous.

Perfection

Our first visit to a 5 site, this is a dream location to explore some of the many footpaths in the area. Orchard lodge is 0.75 miles from Bibury and is a must see location. This 5 van site is well maintained and is a credit to its owners

Perfect

We spent three days at this site. All the pitches are hardstanding and have electric and water close by. The site is very quiet, There is a farm machinery stockist nearby, but we never heard any noise at all from them. The owners are always there if needed, and were keen to see that everything was alright. The village of Bibury is really worth a visit, and is within about a mile and a half mile walk. All in all it is a perfect place for relaxing with beautiful country around. We will definitely visit again

Charming and peaceful CL

This is a gem of a site - small, peaceful, with helpful and friendly owners. Facilities good with water point and electric to each pitch, CEP in adjacent field. Steady walk into beautiful Bibury with its idyllic setting and the added benefits of its trout farm. Good base for exploring the beautiful Cotswold villages. There is also a sister CL (Orchard Meadow) with open views. Two excellent CLs under the same ownership. Will definitely return.
