First impressions of Orchard Farmhouse were good as the grass had been cut, If outside is good then inside will be good as well, and it was. Lovely spacious , clean, well equipped house. Plenty of ways to walk around the estate and we saw an otter! Wouldnt hesitate to book again.

Once again we had a very enjoyable stay at Orchard House, such a peaceful location yet just a short distance to fabulous facilities. Cottage is clean, comfortable and spacious enough to gather everyone together but plenty of space for peace and quiet. Gardens are beautiful and well maintained, very secure for dogs and little ones to explore safelyRead more. We love it there and would happily recommend, certain we will be back! Hide

We had plenty of space and the large enclosed garden was great for the dog and children. They also spent a lot of time in the games room. Also not being close to neighbours meant we didn't have to worry about them getting too excited and making a noise.

Lovely spacious house with plenty of room for the different age groups holidaying together. Children were fascinated by the deers, pheasant and rabbits that visited the garden and watched with interest a bird that obviously had a nest in somewhere in the games barn. Peaceful surroundings and an easy base to travel from.

A fabulous house and gardens, perfect for our family group of 10 (including little ones). The layout of the house meant there was enough space for time together and space to spread out for quieter times too. There was plenty to do in the area, but equally we wanted to make the most of our time at the property!

Loved the Art deco furniture, and comfortable sofas. Kids loved the games barn and were mainly out playing. We would have liked some instructions on the heating. It was disappointing that when we ventured out fir a country walk that all paths were marked with Private signs
