"Had a perfect week away at Orchard Retreat."
The hut was a home away from home and was occupied with everything you could think of and more. Perfectly secure for my dog with an extra bonus field for him to run and play in. Beautiful scenery and the most wonderful hosts. Couldn't ask for a better holiday, we will be returning.

"What an absolute delight Orchard Retreat is, having exclusive use of the Summer House was a wonderful escape to read, listen to music and play a few games of scrabble whatever the weather."
Samantha and Jason have thought of everything to make our stay very comfortable and relaxing. Hot tub was fantastic with a glass of bubbly and clear starry night what more could you ask for. Games room used a few times. Our dogs were made very welcome by the resident dogs and owners (treats supplied) enjoyed the freedom to run about in the field and orchard. Highly recommend and we will definitely be returning.

"We had a lovely ‘chill out’ two days at Orchard Retreat for our wedding anniversary."
Samantha and Jason were very friendly and welcoming, leaving us some fresh eggs, milk and bubbly to celebrate our special occasion. The location is very peaceful with a couple of local walks suggested by the hosts. We made use of the summer house where we played some board games and listened to music. We also visited the games room and played darts and pool. We obviously took a dip or three in the hot tub and with the lovely weather, was a great way to end the day. We even saw a few shooting stars! Definitely be back!

"Absolutely loved our stay here."
The hut was comfortable and cosy, and very clean. Really well equipped with everything we needed plus a lovely welcome basket including lots of treats for our dog. I was a little worried about space having never stayed in a hut like this before, but it was surprisingly roomy and they have installed some clever storage like an ottoman bed.
Location is great, a short drive to a few pubs and lots of other things to do, and onsite you have access to a large private closed off field (great for the dog), and a games room (which we didn’t end up using but looked fab!). And an amazing view to wake up to over the fields, we enjoyed laying in bed with a coffee watching the sheepdogs herd the sheep in the far field!
The owners are also super friendly and couldn’t have been more accommodating, with recommendations and when we needed help with a couple of things. It’s clear they really take pride in providing a lovely place to stay.
Overall we were very sad to leave and would love to come back one day!

"Absolutely loved our stay here."
Enclosed area for our dog to explore while we were in the hot tub. Water changed prior to our arrival. Complimentary milk, eggs, crisps, biscuits, small bottle of prosecco and red wine. Only thing I would note is that the stones around the hut can be uncomfortable if walking bare foot, potentially a few more slabs could be added around to make it more comfy for the dog as well? Overall an amazing stay, so relaxing and would 100% return!

"We chatted with Samantha the lovely host on arrival and departure so this won’t come as a surprise."
We absolutely loved this place. The perfect get away.
Sam has thought of everything from underfloor heating, full sized oven and fridge, smart tv, Bluetooth your music to the hot tub. Bath robes for getting in & out of the hot tub.
So cost with amazing views along with a fenced in garden, the orchard garden, and huge field all for our sole use giving us privacy as well peace of mind for the dogs to run around safely without fear of running off and getting lost.
We mentioned how nice it would be to have sun lounge or reclining chairs in the immediate garden to enjoy the views in the sunny afternoons / evenings.
We have dogs and a crate so we needed to dismantle the table and chairs & stow them under the bed which was fine but we thought perhaps a bistro set could be placed in the summer house as an option.
Oh one thing I forgot to mention to Sam directly was a mini microwave would have been handy however it wasn’t a major thing as it’s really also quite nice getting back to basics.
We will be returning, we stayed 4 nights and could have stayed longer.
Just perfect.

We had zero complaints and thoroughly enjoyed the entire 3 night stay. The layout and style of the hut and the surrounding hot tub, fire pit, summer garden are all fabulous. The countryside is simply stunning, the local walks are very picturesque and there was so much to see. Thank you so much, we loved our much needed break.

"What a find, this place is just what we needed after a tough year."
It’s secluded, quiet, just perfect. The hot tub is the icing on the cake. The hut has everything you would need. The summer house is lovely and has games a radio and in the summer would be a great place to unwind. Lots of grounds around the hut that is yous and it’s well lit at night with lights along the path. The hosts are fantastic, really friendly and nothing is too much, you ask and it’s not an issue. Prosecco, cookies, posh crisps, milk and eggs are waiting for you on arrival. Owners have 3 great dogs that are friendly and greet you daily. We will look to return in the bigger River View with our kids. Oh the games room such fun. Cant recommend enough.

"What a beautiful place to stay and relax."
The Shepherds hut is so comfy with everything you could need including herbs and spices and our welcome munchies ,wine,eggs and fresh flowers.
We couldn't have asked for more.
You have complete privacy but our lovely hosts were there to help if needed.
Laying in the hot tub looking at the stars with a fire in the fire pit to warm you when you get out of the tub it doesn't get any better than this,a little slice of heaven.
I couldn't recommend Orchard retreat enough.
Thankyou for having us ,we will be back x
