Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: We love these basic campsites, water, a loo and a flat pitch is all you need. The site is deep in the rural countryside, quite spot, look out for the eggs box next to the gate as a marker. . Really friendly welcome from the owner who has great plans for the development of an orchard on site. There are already chickens, ducks, guinea fowl and lambs on site. The hens and ducks walking past the tents door and exploring around us. Great place would love to use again.

From the manager: Thank you very much for the lovely review. Glad you loved the campsite and ideas going on with it. Would be lovely see you again and for you to see how the developments of the orchard is coming alone. Thank you James.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Although the facilities are basic, (no shower block) this site has great views, and bags of potential for future development. Plans are in hand. The host ( James) was friendly, helpful, and on hand whenever required. Surrounded by working farms; cows, hens and chickens to wake you in the morning. If you are looking for this kind of site, Orchard View is well worth a visit.
Disliked: A few more facilities needed, but plans afoot to develop site.

From the manager: Thank you for the review and was lovely having you stay. Yet having to battle the wind and rain at times unfortunately so. Was a pleasure and glad you enjoyed and got to relax and take in the surroundings. Hope you enjoyed them fresh eggs when got home. Thanks James.
Has great potential, given the owners vision for the site.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Really nice host & I had a great stay.
Disliked: There were only two groups staying while I was there but I had to queue for the single toilet. Ok for my stay but would quickly become unacceptable when there are more people onsite.

From the manager: I don’t understand why you voted my wifi so low to make me look so bad and bring my score down. As it says I don’t offer wifi o well can’t please everyone. Thank you and glad I looked after you so well and made sure your bike was protected. Going well out my way for you.
Beautiful campsite perfect for a night with young children. They were thrilled…

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Beautiful campsite perfect for a night with young children. They were thrilled to be among the ducks and chickens and helping collect the eggs in the morning was a real treat. Thank you James. Lovely pitches for each tent, plenty of room and a firepit for everyone. Wheelbarrow for transporting kit was very useful and always lovely not to be surrounded by cars, only greenery and animals. James went above and beyond to make sure we were ok, and would definitely consider again even if we didn't need to be in the area.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The loveliest farm with a spacious campsite set in an orchard with views of the cows and sheep, with chickens and ducks wondering around too ! James made us feel so welcome, and went above and beyond to make us happy. Very friendly and helpful ! He made seating areas out of tree stumps and fire pits out of stones too. Clean toilet and washing/water area too. James also sold delicious fresh farm eggs and firewood too ! Thank you so much. Definitely come again !!
Disliked: Only little: when it’s raining, the ground does get quite boggy so remember some waterproof shoes
