What visitors say
Had a lovely couple of days at Norcott The owner was helpful and left us to it Fire pits are provided which is handy No showers but it’s a £10per night campsite so…that’s fine. Shops are just down the road for wood and tesco for food and drinks… Peaceful setting in the orchard..we will be back….maybe the gardener could hold back the strimming on a Sunday morning though 😝 The property is amazing and the gardens well kept

We stayed here last weekend for a relatives birthday. The location is lovely and the people running it were helpful but not too invasive. The downside was the fact there were rats running around. We think this is because of the free roaming chickens and ducks on the site. Although seeing the chickens and ducks was nice it wasn’t ideal when we were cooking and eating to have them wandering around as they were trying to steal our food etc. The fact there isn’t a shower is fine but the toilet block needs maintaining as it’s starting to rot and also when you flush the toilets the water leaks out of the bottom of the unit into the toilet block. I understand that you only charge £10 per person but even if you upped it to £25 you could afford to maintain it better and it would appeal to more people and still be reasonably priced.

I spent a night in the Orchard Campsite on my first bikepacking trip of the year. Jules the owner is very friendly and helpful and I had all I needed. There's a toilet block with hot water, no showers though. It's quiet and charming there's even a duck pond! One of the greatest features is the location only 5 minutes from the edge of Ashridge Estate. I'll definitely be back in the summer
