The Orchard at Fen End Farm Reviews
The Orchard at Fen End Farm is a picturesque eco site tucked away on a small working farm just under ten miles from Cambridge. Choose from a selection of grass pitches for tent camping with campfires or pick a range of canvas accommodation from a yurt to a tipi, or one of the chic bell tents equipped with beds and log burners. Enjoy the lovely surroundings of the orchard, set nice and close to Wicken Fen National Nature Reserve.

We enjoyed a great stay here in the yurt. It was comfortable and cosy and very spacious. The yurt was located in a nice orchard and there was sufficient space between campers for them not to get on your nerves. The yurt comes with a wood burner but it was so warm, we didn't need to use it to keep warm. It rained heavily on our last night but the yurt was still warm and waterproof. We enjoyed the remoteness and wildness of the location. The service was great and the host very responsive and friendly. The site was close enough to both Cambridge and Ely to visit them by short car journey. We would highly recommend.

A fantastic, secluded spot in a serene countryside orchard, only 20 minutes or so from Cambridge. We enjoyed a night under the stars and around the fire with their own homemade cider.

Super little site. Has everything you need. Clean showers, kitchen area with kettles, two sinks for washing up, very helpful and informative host. We had a lovely weekend. Beware the apples! They fall in August.

Thanks for your kind review Tracey, I hope you didn't have an Isaac Newton moment with an apple falling on your head!

We had a wonderful 3 nights at Orchard at Fen End Farm with our children. There is plenty to explore locally, we cycled into Cambridge and visited the Farm Museum. The kitchen shed is great for making toast and cups of tea, charging devices and for having a chat with other campers. The 2 washrooms are so homely and no smell from the compost loo. Also, the facilities are spotless!

For the last few years we’ve stopped at Fen End Farm for the weekend. The site is fantastic. The Orchard is quite something else. Beautiful, calm, secluded, but with great amenities. Perfect for gatherings of friends and family, as we do. My wife and I have 3 young kids and work busy, hectic jobs in the City, and we never fail to come home from Fen End Farm - relaxed, calm, grounded, centred and grateful.

We stayed at The Orchard at Fen End Farm with a group of friends and family for a Bank Holiday weekend, and we had a wonderful time. The facilities are very well thought out, with modern showers alongside compost toilets, and a well equipped kitchen area. Everything is kept clean, and everything seems to have been thought of (e.g. eco-friendly firelighters for the log burner in the yurt we stayed in). The hosts are extremely friendly and helpful too. Cannot find any fault with it.

We had the pleasure of staying in one of the bell tents amongst the apple trees in blossom…what a beautiful and unique setting! Vicky was the most generous host and the facilities were beyond our expectations with the full kitchen, 2 modern showers all powered by wind and solar and the composting toilets were great! A magical weekend with family and friends… we'll be back!!

We had a wonderful experience at Fen End Farm with family and friends. No timetable and lots of time to just spend with each other and remember all that good stuff we all live for. Facilities are great, the orchard is just wonderful and the demands of every day life seemed a million miles away. The kids seemed glum at the idea of camping before the weekend but as soon as we left, they wanted to know when we will go back. Parenting win!!

Thank you Archie, so glad you got what you needed from your visit and that the kids had a good camping experience. Hope to see you all back again soon :)

What a beautiful setting for a fantastic weekend. Set in the middle of a beautiful apple orchard, this campsite is like something out of a fairy tale. It wasn't only the setting, but the accommodation was amazing. We slept like babies in our double bed with our own log burner to keep us toasty and warm in the spring evening chill. Our son slept comfortably on the roll out bed and there was plenty of room for all three of us. A beautiful outdoor area with fire pit meant that we made plenty of memories sitting around the campfire. The campsite and farm are eco conscious and they have low carbon footprint which is an added bonus. There are lovely touches from the hosts, Vicky and Amy, such as beautiful homemade apple juice and burgers to buy which all came from the farm. The whole site is powered by solar electricity and all of the buildings have lovely signs explaining how they were built and fitted using sustainable resources or recycled/ upcycled furniture. The shared kitchen lodge was so homely and well stocked with all the crockery, cutlery, stoves and electricity to cook, charge phones and hang out. The showers were so powerful and beautifully decorated and they were so clean. The composting toilets are so clean and no smell. They were cleaned regularly throughout the day. There are walks around the fields and woods. We had an amazing time and have already booked for next year. I don't really want to leave a review as I want to keep this campsite an amazing little secret but it is so good I have to share!! Victoria and Graham Miller

Loved it! We had a wonderful trip. We are not experienced campers but it was so easy to make it work for our family. The kitchen and bathroom facilities have all you need for a hassle free weekend. The orchard setting is magical and the hosts are wonderful. The accommodation is so comfortable and everything is eco friendly. We hired the entire site with 6 families staying. All had a wonderful time.

What a wonderful place! Once the sun sets you are alone amongst the trees with just the stars and your fire for company, which is amazing. The eco-credentials of the site are unbeatable, but nothing has been sacrificed in terms of comfort. The communal areas and facilities are clean and practical. We brought our own tent, but I thing next time we'll try a yurt or a tipi. The local village provides all the services you need. The locally sources sausages and burgers provided by the farm were great, and the apple juice amazing. This is now my favourite campsite in England. Five stars in every way.
