Convenient and cosy

A lovely c.l. Spacious with hardstanding, which are a little too tight for full awnings, water, waste disposal and ehu. Very pleasant owner who also can provide b&b. Very convenient for the motorway and only a short walk to the village where there is a garage selling grocery essentials and a newly opened pub. A further thirty minute walk gets you into Lutterworth which has two supermarkets, various shops and pubs, and the bus service into Leicester (takes ages!). Next to the c.l. field is a paddock which houses a friendly pony and a "patchwork" donkey to provide entertainment for the family. A perfect weekend stay or stopover north or south.

Stayed here for a 2-night stopover on our way north in summer 2016, and would definitely go back for a longer, proper holiday. As others have said, Marie is a warm and welcoming host, and the animals, especially the charming Jack Russell, Teddy, make for a great atmosphere on this well kept, friendly, relaxing site. We have added this area to our bucket list for a holiday, and wouldn't hesitate to use Orchard Views as our base.

Orchard Views holiday

Just retuned from our stay at this wonderful C/L. We had two weeks and Mrs. Keal (Marie) made us very welcome. We have been caravanning for over forty years and Leicestershire was the only county we had not been too. It is ideally placed to visit Leicester, Loughbrough, Market Harborough, Melton Mowbray, Rutland water and we even went to Nottingham and Coventry. If you decide to stay make sure you go to Morrisons in Lutterworth to get a bag of carrots for the Donkey Misty and Horse Dixie. I would say all the years we have caravanned this C/L is as good as any we have visited. Make sure your next trip is to this C/L you will not be disappointed.

Friendly and welcoming

We were just deciding which pitch to choose when Marie (the owner) appeared and welcomed us. The site has hard-standings for 5 vans with good water and electric points. Alongside the CL field lives Dixie (the horse) and Misty (the donkey). There is also a lovely little dog (whom everyone else has mentioned) who loves attention. Teddy is a little charmer! On our 2nd day we decided to erect the awning but discovered we had lost a small 15 inch pole. I found another pole which I didn't need and was going to take it to my daughter's to cut it down the owner offered to take it and cut it down as he had good equipment. Within 10 minutes I had a neatly sawn pole the required length. In my opinion, a step beyond what is expected. The site if pretty and in a quiet location. We will be returning on our homeward journey back to Cornwall.

Well worth a visit!

My family and I stayed here for two nights during the May half term break.  We had booked a tank driving experience for my husband in nearby Husbands Bosworth and were pleased with how close the site was to the event. Marie gave us a very warm welcome and the children quickly became acquainted with Teddy the dog.  The site is peaceful, very clean and the pitches are great.  We would highly recommend this site to our friends and hope to return soon.

A great site

We stayed at the CL for a night in May 2015 on our return from Yorkshire. Due to traffic we'd arrived late but were welcomed all the same. On setting up the motorhome, we were adopted by the dog, watched partridges walking through the fields and even got some fresh salad. Unbelievable it is so close to the M1 yet so quiet. Will be returning.

A Cosy Site

We were met by Marie and made welcome. All the facilities were close at hand and the pitches a good size and all hard standing. There is a paddock with a donkey and a horse, and in the field nearby a herd of beautiful red coloured cows.  The site had a very cosy feel. Bus stop about half mile from site.

Delightful!

Delightful! One of the nicest sites. Marie (the owner) has only been doing this for a year and already made improvements since we last visited in 2014. She is so welcoming and friendly, as with other members of her family. Take advantage of her great seasonal home grown veg / salads on sale. Lovely little orchard with stables and 2 ponies which are very friendly. Beautiful views over the hill. Idyllic out of the way spot without being totally isolated from the world. Superb TV reception with just our caravan roof aerial. Both internet and mobile signals are fast and reliable. Only 5 minutes drive from M1, M6 and A5, but you’d never know it. We have a very large caravan, and have to get the right angle just right turning from the narrow lane through the gate and avoiding the ditch. Marie is planning further improvements here to make the access easier. As it’s hard standing and open all year, we’ll be returning.
