And Then Came The Ladies

Dennis added this May 18, 2022

I am liking these surprises in the mornings more and more.

There I am happily surveying my territory and wondering how tasty the extra long grass in the orchard is when a horse box arrives with something very exciting inside!

Dave opens the door of the box and out pops not 1 but 2 lady donkeys!!

Oh glorious day!

I gave my head a quick shake to make sure my ears were in the right place and gave a little whinny wuffle of welcome. The ladies were very pretty and a little bit shy. Dottie is brown like me but a richer darker brown with beautiful eyes. Daisy is a creamy grey with very soft hair and is from Spain! Luckily for me she is bilingual and speaks donkey in Spanish and English.

Sterling and the 2 Pygmy goats Hamish and Angus were looking on and wondering who was going to have to share their sleeping quarters with the 3 of us! 

Luckily, I think Dave has other plans

Testimonials

Beautiful place…the owners couldn’t be more hospitable, the shower and washing facilities were superb, the site was well kept, treated ourselves to a wonderful full English for brekkie in the Horse shoe Tea Rooms as well as an evening sat outside in the sunshine enjoying the homegrown cider! Being able to let our dog run around in the orchard was brilliant! Coming back can’t recommend highly enough!

Rebekah Kirtland

Perfect weekend at the Apple Orchard campsite, Dave and Carolyn made us feel so welcome, spotless amenities fantastic home brewed cider from their own orchards, what more can you say when everything was perfect.

Bry Thomas

Lovely camp site. Lots of space, family friendly, but large enough to find a quiet corner.
They have a cider orchard here, and sell their wares to the public. I recommend no more than 3 pints…

Sean Pearce

Excellent campsite big pitches, very clean toilets and showers, good food in tea rooms and friendly owners. We will be going back

Jane Griffiths

Owners of this site and their team members made our five night stay at the site a very happy experience. Immaculate washroom and toilet facilities, as was the area for dishwashing. Fantastic safe Apple Orchard/ paddock for walking our dogs. Separate children’s play area. We have no complaints whatsoever, everyone was so friendly and wanted to ensure our stay was memorable. Scrumptious cider, and we enjoyed a super panini in their cafe one lunch time, reasonable priced.


Thank you Dave, Carolyn and your team.

Janette Parker

Mary Kennedy

Excellent place to stay, large flat open field for tents and tourers. Clean facilities, friendly staff and lovely food in the cafe. The wooden pods are fun, comfortable, warm and dry. Definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

Michelle Gozna

I’ve just come back from a fabulous relaxing break staying with family this Easter. The toilet and washing facilities are clean well kept. The whole site is well maintained, and the staff friendly and welcoming. We stayed in one of the glamping pods and the only thing to note is that some of the beds have a very thin mattress, so bring an airbed it you prefer a more comfortable bed. Dave and Carolyn also make their own Cider – a must to try! We will certainly be back!

James Holland

A truly lovely clean,quiet site. We have stayed a couple of times and have always found it to be friendly.
It’s a great base for Gloucester visits.
We have not eaten at the little cafe on site but the cider is truly scrumptious!!!!!!! The shower/toilet facilities are always spotless.
We are back there in July and are looking forward to it very much.
