Orchard View Caravan and Camping Park

Positiv We had a lovely stay at The Orchards Camping & Caravan Park. The site was really nice and peaceful, which made it a great place to relax and unwind.

Our caravan was lovely and spacious, with three bedrooms, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Having a pool table in the club house was an added bonus and gave us something fun to do in the evenings.

The staff we met were all really friendly and welcoming.

Overall, we had a really lovely time and would definitely consider staying at The Orchards again.

Positiv Everything about the campsite was brilliant!!
James met me at the gate and showed me around the site and was really helpful with telling us local places to visit or shop etc.
Really quiet site with just a little bit of traffic noise from the road but nothing too bad at all. Toilets and showers were clean and tidy and the site itself was clean. We will definitely be returning again

Positiv Clean facilities, large pitches but not what we originally booked. Owner James was very friendly but unfortunately I felt our arrival was a little of an inconvenience for Alex. We arrived early on Sunday afternoon and waited approx 10-15 mins for someone to attend to check us in and after ringing the bell twice, I was greeted by Alex who was friendly enough but seemed in a rush to get back to whatever she was doing before I disturbed her... she quickly showed me around all the facilities...whilst my husband was still waiting in our motorhome to get through the barrier... she then buzzed him through and pointed us to our pitch which was just opposite the reception block, away from all the other caravans and tents and was a mix of hardstanding and grass ( i had booked electric grass pitch) and went on her way without giving us the access codes for the barrier ( I got them from another customer)

Also whilst the advert states they accept motorhomes, we felt they were more equipped for caravans who have separate waste tanks as there was no drive over drainage for emptying our grey water but the elsan disposal was one the better that I have used... and as such we had to drive to our next site with a tank full of grey waste..We were the only motorhome on site...

The dog walking field was good and despite the traffic noise it was a peaceful site...

Maybe I had higher expectations for the site due to the reviews but feel this site was just not for us.

Negativ The location of the site meant that you required a vehicle as nothing is close by or within walking distance. Whilst not the sites fault, the roads leading to the site are the worst roads we have ever driven on ( and we are from Scotland where potholes are a normal occurrence on any journey) they were full of cracks, dips, bumps, uneven surfaces that it is beyond me how anyone could drive along them without damage to their vehicle. The national speed limit on the roads in question is 60mph but we could not ho any faster than 30mph max unless we wanted to cause serious damage to our motorhome.

The pitch we were allocated was not the pitch we booked ( electric grass pitch) and was away from all other people so didn't even get the chance to socialise/mingle with others, it was also very close to the road which although not very busy was noisy at times due to vehicles flying past....

The clubhouse/bar and food van mentioned in the advert is only open at weekends... think that needs to be made clearer in the description

The water pressure from the filling tap by reception was very poor and took around 20 mins to fill our water tank from empty and we were blocking other residents from getting past. Thankfully they were understanding.

The bins were also overflowing and appears they may not have enough bins for the amount of people staying there.

Positiv There was nothing that stood out as everything was as we wanted.
