Such a wonderful, peaceful break in beautiful surroundings. Lovely views from the loft and of the adjoining fields and countryside.Watching the horses and other wildlife was a treat.The loft is comfortable, very clean and well presented. It provides for all your comforts. The outside seating area is perfect for morning tea or evening refreshments too.Pam and Trevor were very helpful especially when our car needed attention.We would have no hesitation in recommending a stay here.

We had a fantastic time away. Orchard Loft is private and peaceful and allowed us to relax and reset. Pam and Trevor are great hosts and made us really welcome as well as proving us with eggs, fruit etc to add a lovely touch. The walks around the farm is great, as is the location to go for days out. It is perfect for dogs, ours loved to watch the horses from the enclosed, private balancing. We’d highly recommend it and, if we’re ever in Rutland again, we will be back!
