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.

The pictures really don't sell this place enough. The plot that the WK is settled on is beautiful. It really is an escape from the 'hussle and bussle' of daily lives. We were blessed with amazing weather which is rare in the UK so this did help enjoy the setting and facilities to their fullest. We explored the area on foot, as well as by car. There is a very helpful guide emailed prior to check-in and available in WK also. We were welcomed so warmly by Ali and a really smooth check-in process. The welcome gifts of fresh milk from Wholly farm, a bottle of Processco and mouthwatering, deliciousness of a lemon drizzle cake we a really lovely surprise. Ali and Rich kindly shared their friendly animals for the duration of the stay and scrummy fresh eggs from their chickens. Such a lovely area with lots to do and so much breathtaking scenery to boot.
The eco-toilet and fires required for hot water take some getting used to, but we equally respect the eco-friendly aspect to the WK and it's environment.
We would love to return in the future as we really enjoyed our time there as a family. We have already shared the Glamping Orchard website with friends and family.

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!

A two night stay at the end of the summer on this little farm was a delight. We loved it from the moment we arrived. Ali and Rich were gorgeous, friendly hosts. Everything had been considered from collecting eggs on arrival, a bottle of bubbles, homemade lemon drizzle cake and fresh, local milk in the caravan. We collected apples, blackberries, pears and plums, filled the wood burner stove to heat the shower and bbq and watched the sheep, horses and goats from our cosy bedroom window inside the exceptionally clean caravan. Our children loved it, even though there was a storm in the middle of our stay, it didn't stop us enjoying the experience. We hope we can come back another year for this experience. Glouester and surrounding cotswolds is a chocolate box of beautiful countryside.

Our family of 4 had the most wonderful couple of nights staying in Belle, the cosy and immaculately furnished bell tent with its own private garden overlooking the pretty apple orchard. We were lucky enough to be there during a heatwave so made the most of relaxing in the garden, lounging in the hammock, playing boules, and we enjoyed two balmy nights stargazing after a delicious meal cooked over the firepit (excellent BBQ meats ordered for our arrival). The kitchen is extremely well equipped and everything spotlessly clean, and we loved the wood-fired shower too. So many thoughtful details (the flowers and welcome message on the blackboard on our arrival) with a divine lemon drizzle cake and bottle of Prosecco. We loved the fairy lights and bunting too, all so pretty. Our children were enchanted by the animals in the orchard, sheep, pigs, horses, chickens but particularly the very friendly pygmy goat, Oreo! They loved collecting breakfast eggs and the trampoline was also a highlight (when the sheep and Oreo weren't sheltering from the roasting sun underneath!) Such a great spot too, 10 minutes stroll through wheat fields and beautiful heritage orchards to the banks of the Severn. We can't wait to return - even my husband who is not generally a happy camper was thoroughly sold! (I think the very comfortable double bed v. past experiences of deflating airbeds did the trick!) Thank you so much Ali and Rich for being such friendly and thoughtful hosts. A truly magical place.

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.

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!

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.

Absolutely amazing stay at the Glamping Orchard recently. We are a family of four with one adult a reluctant camper and the other a keen camper and it was the perfect compromise! We found everything we needed plus lovely little luxurious touches such as a bottle of prosecco on arrival, homemade cake and eco friendly washing and cleaning products. The keen camper was kept happy with lighting fires and the wood fired shower is a touch of genius, warming up the bathroom to a cosy temperature and providing enough hot water for two decent showers and washing up. The children were kept entertained with all the animals. We will be back!!!

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!

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
