    We visited for the weekend to celebrate a 50th Birthday. There was so much attention to detail. Everything you might need was at hand. Complimentary tea, coffee etc.. with milk in the fridge and a bottle of prosecco. The hot tub was a lovely addition and was ready to use on arrival. Communication was excellent. Definitely pop up to the orchard and share the story with any young children. Highly recommended.

    These being; 1/ considering that the Dairy is a self catering cottage there isn’t any cupboard space to store food that you take with you. 2/ the style of the settee which was made up of 5 cushions along the back made it the most uncomfortable settee that we have ever sat on. 3/ the living room was very dark because there was only one small window over the sink and we had to have the light on even during the day time All things could easily be addressed which, if in place would changed our scoring dramatically
