What customers say
Kings Orchard Marina gets the thumbs up for staff and location. Pitchers are grand, facilities clean. That road though, a right mess. Some bits are a bit old, and the bins can be full. Management are on the case with the road.

Liked Helpful staff
Clean facilities with excellent showers
Good Elsan and rubbish disposal
Quiet location
Disliked Minor point but we had to hand the key in by 5pm as we were leaving before 8.30am the following day. Some sort of out of hours drop off and deposit refund arrangement would have been useful for us.

Worth a stay for convenience, not so much for luxury/relaxation.
Fully-serviced gravel touring pitch
Liked Convenient location for needing to be in Lichfield and Birmingham for work. Nice marina with lots of wildlife and good grassy spaces for the dog! And down the road from the National Memorial Arboretum which is worth a trip!
Disliked Not many toilets/showers, and no windows in them so very smelly at times. Also having to use a key every time is a bit of a pain. The washing up area being all the way the other side of the marina too is a bit frustrating but not the end of the world.
Most disliked being in the middle of HS2 works - not ideal and also being right by the fast train line was a little irritating.
