 We loved this site. From the moment we pitched up, we felt relaxed. Steve was very helpful.
We loved the quietness and the noises from the sheep. We watched a family help Steve feed the sheep which was fascinating and when the local farmer was moving the sheep up the road, my husband was asked to help herd them in one direction and not go off piste into the gardens opposite.
We visited The Clarkes Village which was 4 miles down the road and we also visited friends locally.
We would definitely be back and would recommend a visit. If you have friends or family without motorhomes or caravans, the site has beautiful glamping pods, for them to join you.

What a little gem. Steve the owner was so friendly and helpful.
Toilets and showers spotless. Very dog friendly lovely 10 min stroll to a pub serving food.
The campsite is as you would expect from the name in an orchard. So peaceful.
We will definitely be back.

Lovely peaceful site surrounded by apple trees. Owners are very helpful and keep the site and facilities clean and tidy.
We cycled to Glastonbury and around the local area and felt quite safe.
We also played golf at the local course which the owner, Steve, told us about. He also gave us a good incite into the local shops and pubs. Hopefully, we can stay longer next time

What a wonderful little site. Very quiet and peaceful.
All the pitches are set in and amongst the apple trees. The facilities are good and the site is dog friendly.
Well worth another visit.

Lovely level site in part of an orchard on the outskirts of Butleigh. There are two hardstanding pitches and the rest are grass. If you are at the far end of the site, the WiFi is non-existent, but a quick walk to the entrance gets some signal.
Views from the site northwards, towards Glastonbury, are lovely. It is very peaceful and well run by the owners. This extends to a comprehensive set of information which comes with your booking confirmation.
Not a problem for us, but the road by the site entrance is thin. If you have a newer wide caravan or a twin axle 'van, you will need to be at the top of your game when it comes to manoeuvring into/out of the entrance.
There are plenty of walks directly from site. We did a village circular walk and also a walk into Great Breach Wood.
There is a well stocked village shop/Post Office and also the Sourdough Farm Shop, which is essentially a garden summerhouse, stocked with some necessities and some luxury items.
If the owner is not there, there is an honesty box or you can pay by BACS later. Didn't try the pub, nor the tea room.
In short, a lovely site, which justifies a return visit.

Lovely peaceful site, a short stroll from the beautiful village of Burleigh.
Good for walking as public footpath run beside the campsite.
Owner very friendly and helpful.

This is a delightful site run by people who really care about giving a positive experience to their guests.
Located on the edge of the pretty village of Butleigh, it's well located for lots of attractions, but you could also choose, as we did, to relax on site, take a not too strenuous walk through lovely countryside, and sample the delights of the village pub (about 10 mins walk from the site - very good beer and good, reasonably priced food at the Rose and Portcullis). It would be a good base for cycling as its set in an area with lots of quiet country lanes.
On one of the hottest weekends of the year so far we were very grateful for the shade of the apple trees (and can recommend the cider made from them.
It's not a regimented site. There are eight EHU - two on hard standing, the rest on grass. The facilities are quite basic - one ladies toilet, one unisex shower, and a washing up sink with cold water, but they are clean and well cared for. As its a small site, they were quite adequate. The owners are extremely friendldly and helpful with lots of advice on the local area.
It's a great place to relax for a weekend with a wonderful quiet calm atmosphere, but would be a good base for a longer stay exploring Somerset. Also check out the luxury camping pods which look amazing.

Orchard Farm continues to be as peaceful and relaxing as ever. It is beautifully kept and the owners could not be more helpful or welcoming.
The new WiFi (£1. 50 per day) is not fast but works well. The new pods, which arrive later this month, should be a boost to the site as they all have their own toilet and shower. We did some great walks in the area and would recommend exploring the Avalon Marshes Heritage Walks

Me my wife and two daughters have not long returned from orchard farm, this site is great and has to be in Somerset's top 5 best camp sites. The site is small with only 15 pitches I think but that is what makes it so special, there is also a lovely wodden pod which we stayed in. The pod is small but perfectly sized if you just want to relax and let the kids play, it has its own toilet and a fridge with a little kitchen area, it was perfect for us. The toilet block is lovely and clean with a shower which is hot and powerful.
The location of the site is a short drive to Glastonbury town, Shepton mallet and wells. We went to all these places as there is plenty to see and we are in love with this part of somerset. There are some lovely walks through the mendip hills and a visit to the Tor is highly recommended.
Orchard farm is run by a lovely couple called Steve and Kathy who are both lovely people, easy to talk to and will help you with knowelege of the surrounding area to help you plan your days out.
I would recommend that everyone who reads this review try this site, you will not be disappointed. If you love mysterious and magical places like Glastonbury or you love the festival this place is for you. If you love peace and quiet this place is for you. If you just love the countryside and a cracking local country pub this place is for you.
Like I have said this has to be one of the best campsites in somerset, I've been to a few in the surrounding area and this is up there with my best.
Many thanks Chris Kelly and girls.
