  • "A very clean, well equipped house in a quiet cul-de- sac and with a lovely garden."

    Owners went out of their way to ensure that everything was in place for a very comfortable stay. We explored several local areas but especially enjoyed Pentewan beach and the busy harbours at Mevagissey and Fowey.

  • "A beautiful house, tastefully decorated - loved the themed wall decorations, and especially the gorgeous countryside view from the lounge."

    All essentials were provided, and some lovely scones, cream and jam on arrival, plus tea, coffee and milk - very welcome after a long drive. Instructions given for all appliances etc. and free Wi-Fi. We felt that the owners had gone the extra mile in making sure we had a trouble-free stay.

  • "Great house with lovely countryside views at the rear and very enjoyable outside space for relaxing."

    This is a great base for exploring this part of Cornwall e.g. Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan. Pentewan Sands is an ideal beach for little ones. Our hosts were in touch with a suggestion as we had a toddler with us and this was appreciated- thank you.

  • "An absolutely delightful family stay at this lovely house."

    Superbly well equipped and wonderfully thoughtful touches. Perfectly situated for local beaches, villages and towns. Everyone in the family (from 4 years old to 74 years old) had a splendid holiday. Very definitely on the ‘return to’ list.

  • "Fantastic holiday at Orchard View Spent a week at orchard view, which was like a home from home, containing everything you could possibly need."

    The house is impeccably decorated and clean, with nice views from the back. The welcome scones, clotted cream and jam went down a treat, and also the milk so we could have a cuppa as soon as we arrived after a long drive. There was also a cupboard containing all the cleaning products you could imagine if we needed anything. The split level bedrooms and bathrooms were great, allowing the older kids to have some space downstairs while we were upstairs. We enjoyed the use of the BBQ in the evenings when it wasn’t raining, although a light outside would have been great so we didn’t have to retreat back inside when it got too dark. We even had breakfast outside in the garden which was lovely. A short walk through the houses to the left and you’ll find the Polgooth Inn which had some amazing food. Marianne and Chris messaged to say the house was ready, and again the next day to check everything was ok, which was a nice touch. There really was everything provided that you could possibly need. Thanks for a great holiday, and we would definitely return again.

    Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Orchard View. We very much look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Property Owner

  • "This was a great VRBO It was very comfortable and clean."

    My family had space and we were able to relax. The only reason for 4 stars verse 5 is because I've stayed at probably 30 VRBOs and although this one was in the top position there were just a few things I'd change. I have no complaints just suggestions. There is a washer (no dryer) but no place to hang your laundry. The only other thing is we had to go straight to the store for paper towels and a few other things that most VRBOs have to start with. Again this is not a complaint just a suggestion based on my experience with VRBO. We would definitely stay again! Thank you for sharing your home.

    Thank you so much for your positive feedback, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Orchard View. We have an outside rotary for drying your clothes and also 2 indoor dryers available inside the property. We also provide a welcome pack and provide everything you need for your stay in the cupboard in the hall which you are very welcome to use. We are so pleased you had a lovely time and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Property Owner
