Orchard House Reviews

Stephanie
Can't fault this property or the owners, absolutely loved our stay. 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
The property was great for us. We loved being out in the countryside, no neighbours, gorgeous views from every window and the hot tub. The dining table was larger than expected and 8 of us sat comfortably around it. It was very clean and well equipped. We had such a wonderful relaxing weekend. Thankyou so much.

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.
Sandra

This honestly was such a lovely holiday house l. The owner Kate was such a lovely woman. The house itself was beautiful and the views were absolutely beautiful. Honestly would recommend to anyone as me and my friends had such a lovely time.
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
What an absolutely fantastic place for a break . ... better equipped than my own home! Beautiful surroundings, fab large hot tub and beautifully decorated home. Thoughtful hosts, loved the welcome gift basket and ice cubes ready for action! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and would return again no problem!
Probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in on holiday. House was fantastic and exactly what we wantedneeded for a family reunion. Plenty of space for everyone. Hot tub, fire pit and garden amazing too. Felt like we were on our own, in the middle of nowhere.
Sharon
An amazing lovely house set in magnificent surroundings, have just spent the weekend celebrating my partners 50th birthday with friends. We would definitely recommend and will book again . Thanks Kate and Rob .
We had a lovely stay, really relaxing. The house is in lovely surroundings and brilliantly equipped. The log burner and hot tub were perfect for the spring evenings. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful property in stunning surroundings, owners very unobtrusive, but there if needed Everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay.

Shazna
It was brilliant, the house was modern, clean and warm! no problems with wifi or electronics! The location is beautiful and rural, and would have loved more time there! we would have loved to have explored the local area more, the house is located in a private space. For muslims if your looking for a hijab friendly space, this is prefect they also have a halal restaurant that delivers. we really enjoyed this trip, for anyone wanted to book this location please do pack all your essentials and enough food and snacks for your stay! Thank you to the hosts for sharing this opportunity!
Lovely property and location. We stay in a number of cottages each year and this is right up there from a cleanliness point of view. Very pleasant owners, nice welcome pack, the log burner and hot tub were great too. Will stay again, thanks!
Natalie
An absolutely amazing property with wonderful attention to detail. We had a fantastic stay, thank you. The location was breath taking and having the log burner available to use in the winter months was perfect. We honestly couldnt fault our stay. The hot tub was an added bonus!
Absolutely faultless! We had the most amazing, relaxing stay for 3 nights this weekend. The house is lovely, with everything you could need for a stress free break. All the rooms were spacious and clean. The bedding and towels were fluffy and smelt lovely. The log burner added a really calming ambience to the living room, and the kitchen diner seated 7 adults with ease. Its just a very sociable house! The hot tub was clean and hot from the moment we arrived. In short the house was perfect. The biggest thing was the friendliness of the owner Kate. We chatted by text before hand and throughout. Nothing was too much trouble. Attention to detail was fantastic with a basket of locally produced goodies upon arrival, along with dishwasher and washing machine tablets. Thank you for a perfect stay, we will definitely be back.
Victoria
This was booked for our group of 8 friends & it was perfect! The house was beautiful , clean, spacious & stacked with everything we would need for a fab weekend. The hot tub was gorgeous. The views, stunning. The owner , very friendly. This would be great for families or friends. We are already planning our return visit.
Lauren
A group of 8 of us stayed here over new years and was the most perfect stay! The pictures doesnt do the place justice, the place is incredible. Kate couldnt do enough for us and even offered us a lift to town when we were struggling to get a taxi. It was 1010 and we will definitely be returning. Thank you for a great stay!
Valerie
Fabulous property. Had everything you needed and never knew you did. Every detail was considered including a separate box containing towels for hot tub. Will definitely be staying again in the near future.
Paracleta
Kate and Rob were excellent. They were only always just a phone call or text away. Nothing was too much trouble. The cottage itself was perfect. Everything was clean and well equipped. The photos really do not do the cottage and setting justice. Although the weather itself was not that great, it didnt matter as the views were idyllic and the setting peaceful. WiFi was excellent and so we had Netflix etc. We would definitely book again. Definitely a 5 star stay.
Hannah
This was such an amazing property and the owner is soo helpfull. . We had a great weekend and had Evey thing we needed at the property. It's abit far from local places and not much can get delivered so make sure you take enough to get by.. But I would 100 Percent come back again.
Corrie
A beautiful property with loads of space for our stay. The house is truly in an ideal rural location with lots of parking space. Very helpful owner. We will definitely be back.
We've stayed here twice as we really enjoyed the first time. The house has everything we need, is not overlooked and has plenty to do for the family within an hour's drive.
