Orchard House Reviews

Barbara
Very well equipped throughout. Especially in the kitchen, lots of utensils and baking trays, bowls etc. Useful and generous welcome pack with dishwasher tablets and washing machine pods plus goodies. The hot tub was always warm and cleaned every day. Great views from the house. For me, the highlight is the wood burner, there were long matches, thick gloves, a good supply of dry logs and a metal bin for the Ashes! A great holiday for all. Thanks.
Samantha
Our stay was absolutely lovely! The hosts were welcoming and on hand if needed. The stunning surroundings made for a truly memorable experience. They catered to guests of all ages, making it perfect for our family. The hot tub was a luxurious touch, allowing us to unwind. With ample space to comfortably accommodate our family of seven, we couldnt have asked for a better getaway. Highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a perfect blend of comfort, beauty, and relaxation!

Alison
Very nice house in a great location. Best feature was the hot tub. Would go again.
Caroline
Already provided her with our feedback. A lovely cottage with a great hot tub and amazing views. Would love to go back
Contact with the owners was effortless and I always had prompt responses. We even got in a bit early on arrival day thanks to a swift turnaround. The house was beautiful inside and had everything you needed. The hot tub and firepit BBQ gave hours of outdoor entertainment, all whilst we overlooked the beautiful panorama of the local area, including all of the new lambs. To top it off, the lemon drizzle cake mentioned in previous reviews did not disappoint! It was a lovely gesture that was very much appreciated. All round 1010. See you next year! Nick
A wonderful house in a beautiful, quiet location. Fantastic host. Spotlessly clean with everything you could possibly need being provided. Just perfect.
This property more than met our expectations! Seven of us were easily accommodated without feeling cramped. Plenty of space and all the facilities we needed. The hot tub was fantastic, even in the drizzle! And the quietness, views and walks in the surrounding countryside were wonderful. Would certainly return. Thank you.

Edward Neil
Great house for a large family gettogether over Christmas week. Well laid out, clean and comfortable, and a relaxing house to spend time in. We cooked for ourselves all week and ate around the large round sociable dining table. The bathrooms were all of a high standard. Quiet location with good nearby walking. The owners were friendly and helpful prior to and during our stay. Would recommend it and stay there again.
Darren
Beautiful house, immaculately clean, set in stunning surroundings. Kate is a lovely host, very attentive and communicative. Hot tub is a great plus as is the beautiful log burner! Definitely recommend
Rachel
The property was fantastic. Very clean, well equipped. I loved the fact there was a fire place and a lovely choice of books and toys that my baby thoroughly enjoyed playing with
Just back from a wonderful girls weekend at this incredible property. The house was immaculate and spotlessly clean. The beds are super comfy and the log burner with logs provided added to the warmth and comfort. The welcome basket was so thoughtful and we all said the lemon drizzle cake was the best weve ever tasted. A very rural location which was perfect to relax and ease away any stresses in the hot tub. We will definitely be returning!
Beverley

Great house in a beautiful secluded location. Lots of space inside and out with everything you need. Hot tub clean and well maintained.
Fantastic cottage in a fairly remote but wonderfully peaceful location. The weather wasnt kind to us but we were happy to relax in the comfort of the house or the hot tub. All fixtures and fittings were of a high quality and there were plenty of activities for all ages in the surrounding area within easy reach. The cottage owners Kate and Rob were lovely and also left us a welcome pack of goodies. I would highly recommend this holiday home.

Amelia
Absolutely wonderful first holiday with friends. The area was beautiful. House was extremely spacious, filled with everything you could ever need or want from complimentary brownies, board games, and garden games, to an array of kitchen facilities! All other information we could need was readily available in the house. The house was just an incredible place to spend with friends extremely comfortable, something for everybody, and beautiful views. We travelled to Brecon Beacons, Puzzlewood, HayonWye, and experienced a beautiful vineyard tour, all within comfortable driving distance. Many times were spent playing with the footballs, playing card games outside and in, and hosting lovely breakfasts and lunches with the huge variety of kitchen facilities. We will definitely consider returning due to the gorgeous house and the lovely owners who provided us with everything we could ever need, and Kate who helped with questions prior to the trip and responded promptly and kindly. Thank you so so much!!
Tracey
