You can expect a quiet getaway location with a real sense of home away from home staying in a 1950’s Caravan, The Warwick Knight, sleeping up to 4, or alternatively try Belle, our cosy Bell Tent sleeping up to 5. Whichever you choose you will enjoy a wonderful Glamping experience, perfectly located in the heart of the picturesque Severn Vale. The Glamping Orchard gets you back to nature but not back to basics. Longney is just five miles from historic Gloucester and a lovely short walk from the River Severn.

We had a fantastic stay at the Glamping Orchard. The Warwick Knight caravan had everything we required and more. We had glorious weather for the Easter weekend which also helped. Stuart the Sheep and Gorgeous the Horse in the neighbouring field kept the kids (and adults) entertained and lounging back in the hammock was so relaxing. We loved collecting our own eggs in the mornings for breakfast and the wood fired shower worked a treat! Would definitely return. Owners were very friendly but not imposing.

We stayed in the Warwick Knight caravan. It has every facility needed fitted inside with all the utensils required for cooking. A lovely touch on arrival was a delicious home made lemon drizzle cake and Prosecco. We were warm enough with an oil heater provided and a log burner so even on colder nights it would be comfortable. The bed was very comfy but required a bit of a climb up to as it had a large drawer underneath making it higher than usual. A small foldable step would help but we managed. Our grandchildren couldn’t come as planned but the small bunk beds were perfect for children cleverly fitted in. The caravan is in its own large grounds fenced off and away from the Belle tent so very private. A short walk to the cabin where the wood fired burner heated the shower was a different experience. Watch out for creepy crawlies my husband noticed a massive spider as I removed my towel to dry . That aside the set up with clean towels and shower gel etc was amazing. Everything was thought through. Loads of logs to use and the seating around the firepit made the evenings special with the glow of the fire. Being surrounded by fields a goat horse sheep chickens and ducks on their land made it extra special. The peace and quiet we so needed to chill out was sheer heaven. Thank you to Ali who came to greet us on arrival. This place is well worth visiting . A unique place with a genuine thoughtful attitude.…

I stayed in the Warwick night for 4 nights as our holiday this year with my 2 sons. The boys fell in love as soon as we arrived, with the animals, who were all very friendly. I was taken aback by how beautiful the whole site was. It was very private and we had lots of outside space all to ourselves. The Warwick night was small but perfectly formed with lots of ingenious storage space. I didn't come across anything that I needed that wasn't there, and I was able to cook in the kitchen every night. Having our own shower and toilet was great. Despite reservations the fire powered shower really did work. Personal touches such as cake on arrival and having tea and coffee and cleaning products were lovely. My children loved being able to collect eggs in the morning as well as stroke oreo the goat. We would definitely stay again!…

Fabulous stay with amazing hospitality. The lemon drizzle cake was scrummy and the little touches of getting your eggs in th morning after saying hi to the sheep really made you feel like you’re in the country. Hospitality was spot on and we wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you Ali and Rich

I spent a couple of nights in the Belle tent with my partner to celebrate my birthday and we had such a lovely time. The grounds are beautiful and so much space to yourself, if you don't want to do any exploring you could easily spend all day there just lazing about in the hammock!! The hosts are really friendly and have thought of everything you could need, my partner was even able to arrange local flowers, Prosecco and a birthday banner as a surprise for me. We particularly enjoyed choosing our own hen eggs for breakfast. Can't wait to visit again!

There's glamping and there's glamping and this little gem rates amongst the best. From the moment we parked the car to the walk past the chicken coup and horses we knew we were in for a treat. Then you get to the gate and enter a perfect little enclosure with the Warwick Knight centre stage. I can't tell you how great this looks in the sunlight with the well thought out seating ( including a hammock ) , fire pit, bench and deck chairs. You are surrounded by fields and the serenaded by the birds all day long. There is a goat and sheep in a small enclosure and horses in a field behind the bushes. Apparently a barn owl frequents a single tree by the caravan but he didn't show on our two night stay. We did however see a hare in the adjoining field and a fabulous full moon from the fantastic roof top terrace which has its own table and seating. Inside. the caravan has it all with a double bed and twin bunks. Port hole windows all around make for a quirky look and it really does look great. There's a separate toilet and shower room ten yards away exclusive to the caravan. Lighting the boiler fire for the shower was brilliant. Any chance to light a fire and I'm in! Ali and Richard were the perfect hosts, very welcoming and nearby on the farm if needed but not imposing at all. A very nice lemon drizzle cake was on the worktop for us on arrival. All in all a wonderful imaginative place to have a lovely break and wind down. Magical. Well done Ali and Rich!…

Spent 4 nights in Belle from 1 June. We were blessed with fantastic weather for the duration of our stay. We were so impressed with Belle, bed is so comfortable and there are two chair beds, one of which our daughter used. The bell tent is very private with a small kitchen outside with all the essentials and a toilet close by. The wood fired shower was excellent! There’s a also a fridge to keep food and drinks cool. Ali and Rich have thought of everything, there are so many nice touches. The setting is beautiful and our daughter loved all the animals and especially collecting eggs from the chickens, although the chickens might not feel the same about the regular visits! Good location not too far from M5, we visited Bourton on the Water, Sudeley Castle and Dyrham Park whilst there. The immediate area is lovely and we walked along the Severn Way to the Anchor at Epney and a bit further along is The Ship at Upper Framilode which was good for food. We hope to visit again soon and hopefully check out The Warwick Knight. …

We had the most amazing stay in Belle. We felt very welcome, with lovely, caring touches and thoughtful attention to detail meaning we felt very comfortable. It is an idyllic setting, surrounded by animals and immersed in nature, which allowed us to truly switch off and relax. We particularly appreciated cooking BBQs on the fire pit, being cosy in the tent with the log fire, waking up to birdsong, having the horses nearby and being near the canal. There were lots of places to explore and activities nearby. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

My wife and I had a wonderful five-night stay in Belle last week. It was so lovely to have a change of scene after the past year, and a very lovely scene it was. Belle's self-contained garden area was perfect for our Westie, Bertie who had a fun time trying to befriend and ward off the various animal neighbours in equal measures! The weather wasn't great for us but we still managed to make use of the fire pit on two nights and the kitchen on another and sit outside. The night with the 40+ mph winds was fun, waiting to see if might wake up in Oz! We did one lovely walk from the door and a few others from a short drive away, and visited some of the lovely local towns and cities, as well as some great village pubs by car. Ali and Stuart were always very friendly, available and communicative hosts if needed (which was happily rarely) but kept interaction to a safe minimum in the current circumstances. We really appreciated the extra touches such as the delicious lemon drizzle cake and bottle of prosecco on arrival. All in all, this is a very much recommended place to enjoy a break away from (ab)normal life.…

We visited for a 2 night stay in the Warwick Knight and can honestly say this is one of the best places we have stayed. We are not campers at all so was a little apprehensive but everything is so well planned and thought out that even novices like us can’t go wrong. The instructions on how to use everything are clear and easy to follow and the owners gave us a quick talk on everything on arrival. The setting is perfect with lovely views and lots of animals to see. The extra touches like homemade cake and Prosecco in the fridge on arrival are so lovely. Lots to see and do locally. Really lovely time and definite recommendation for anyone both expert and beginner glampers!
