The accommodation was excellent, catered for our needs brilliantly. We had an 8 year old, a 2 year old, 3 dogs and 3 adults and there was plenty of room for all of us. Very easy to get too and a great central location which allowed us to travel all around and visit lots of beautiful places, lots of walks close by or just to chill in the hot tub.

Orchard House is a stunning property based in the perfect location. Out of the way enough for the peace and quiet but close enough to get to a lot of different villages. The property was clean and of a high standards with little touches such as lots of fresh towels, coffee basket and EV charger. The private garden was perfect for our large dogs to Read morerun around in. The outdoor games were great for those who dont fancy a dip in the hot tub. The owner is a lovely chap who took the time to ensure everything was okay and we were happy. I could not recommend Orchard House enough. Hide
