Orchard powered grass tent site
Liked: I had a lovely 1 night stay at the weekend. The site is set in beautiful surroundings with lovely gardens. The facilities are very good including a barn area where you can use kettles and toasters etc.. or just sit and read. I took my own tent but you can also stay in bell tents or a shepherd's hut. Highlight of my stay was the delicious pizza cooked and served in the garden by the owners of the site. The family looked after me so well in what is basically their home and even their dog gave me a warm welcome. There are walks from the site to burn off the pizza and I even left with some plants for a small donation to charity. The site can be used for weddings and parties and the facilities for this are excellent including a bar and silo games room. Perfect place to stay! I will definitely be booking another visit soon.

Bell tent (no pets)
Liked: Beautiful site with wonderful hosts. I stayed with my wife and two children (11 and 8). On this first night we opted for some wood fired pizzas which was a great way to end a long car journey. There are some nice animals on site, ducks, chickens, horses, and in the neighbouring fields some deer and hares.

Bell tent (no pets)
Liked: The best place to get “off” from the world and recharge. This place offers calmness and tranquility that is best for everyone working in the city who is looking for place to relax and allow the children to run around in the greenery. We love the sound of wind when it touches the branches of tall trees and the same will wake you up in the morning. The facility is limited to few tents which gives you a good distance and not being distracted by other campers. The old barn which serves as dining and bar area have rustic designs that really suits the place. Highly recommended and will definitely come back!
