Orchard View Campsite

Liked A wonderful campsite, very well thought out. We loved seeing the chickens, ducks & cows. James is such a lovely owner, he showed us around personally & has so many plans to develop the site. He also delivered us some eggs for breakfast that were laid on site. He really went above and beyond. The fire pit and seating area for each pitch was a lovely addition.
We will 100% be coming back. Our little chihuahua loved it too; the dog friendly area of the field was fantastic.

Disliked We struggled to find any shade on the field, which made things tricky on a hot day.
Also, we have a very small dog, who slipped through the wire fence into the neighbouring cow field, luckily we got her back easily. Completely our fault, just something to keep in mind if you have a little dog.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind review and be lovely see you all back again in the near future. 😊

Liked The way camping should be, lovely location, simple amenities and a real fire. The owner has a fabulous vision for his site, we’ll definitely be returning to see how it develops.

Liked Absolutely loved our nights stay at Orchard View. This relatively new site is an absolute hidden gem for those wanting an off-grid, semi wild-camping experience to get back to nature and enjoy a bit of peace and quiet! The owner couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful taking time to show us around personally. A nights stay is well priced. Each pitch is spacious and well laid out with its own seating and fire pit area a short distance from your tent. Setting up with the tent entrance facing the field makes the most of a great view and adds the charm of the occasional visit from the cows. Chickens wander about the site free range and for a small sum you can buy corn to feed them. The site is very sheltered and I didn’t even bother using the guy ropes on my tent. We had a very peaceful nights sleep under canvas and although we did wake when the cockerel started crowing at about 4am, I soon went back to sleep. All part of the charm and a one-off experience for my city-dwelling son! We will certainly be returning soon and can’t wait to see how the site develops.

Disliked Not much negative to say really. The site is in an early stage of development with many trees and bushes yet to be fully established. I think when the owners long term plans start (quite literally) bearing fruit this is really going to be a very special place.

From the manager: Thank you so much for such a wonderful review Alex. So happy you both enjoyed the stay so much and I will be looking forward to seeing you both in the near future.

Liked We loved how secluded the campsite is, the chickens are great, the cows are brilliant and James could not have been more helpful.

Disliked Could do with a shower

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. Look forward to seeing you all again soon. 😊

Liked Clear sections for your pitch, each one has a log table with stump chairs and a stone firepit.

Great location and an awesome set up. I'm looking forward to going in the future to see how the site develops.

From the manager: Thank you very much for your review and so happy you enjoyed it so. Looking forward to your return in the near future. 😊

Liked The surrounding views and the layout, each pitch has seating area and fireplace.

From the manager: Thank you for the kind review. Glad you enjoyed your stay. 😊

Liked We absolutely loved our stay in Middleton Green. James was a wonderful host, there if we needed but very happy to leave us to enjoy getting back to nature. It was great to hear about his plans for the place, that working in unison with nature was at the heart of. It is a car free camp site which meant us and the kids could relax and enjoy the space without fear. We loved being close to the animals, although the roosters do love and early start. Thanks so much. Nathan, Hannah, Henry and Max.

From the manager: Aaawww thank you so much for the lovely review and so glad you all enjoyed your stay. Hopefully be seeing you all again in the near future. Thanks James. 😊

Liked James makes every effort to make his guests welcome

Liked Really wonderful experience.
Probably the best holiday I've ever had.
Getting away from it all is such a tonic.
James and his mum are so welcoming.
Lovely atmosphere and so relaxing.
There are cows, chickens, ducks....all sorts.
I intend to go once a month for a few days, just to reboot.
I can't rate my experience highly enough 🙂

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Aaawww thank you Toni I loved your stay and can’t wait to see you again soon. Thank you for your lovely review. So nice of you. 😊

Liked We had a fantastic stay at this campsite. It's perfect for young families. The views were absolutely beautiful, and the peaceful setting made it a lovely place to relax. The roaming chickens were a real highlight for the kids.

The host was incredibly welcoming and accommodating, which made the whole experience even better. The facilities were well-maintained, including a toilet on-site which is really helpful when you have young children in tow.

Overall, a great campsite that we’d happily return to. Highly recommended!
