Communication with the owner was excellent, and it was lovely to receive a few helpful tips before we arrived.The cottage was perfect for our group of seven – comfortable beds, great showers, though a couple of us found the pillows a little firm.The hot tub was spotless and checked daily.The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed, and the welcome box was a real treat. The truffle butter and chocolate brownies were amazing, and the Christmas crackers were a thoughtful touch as the owner knew we were having a Christmas-themed weekend. Fantastic attention to detail.The living room had plenty of space for everyone, though a few cushions on the sofas would make it even cosier.We will definitely be returning!

We had our annual family gathering at Orchard Barns and all loved it. It was spacious and clean with everything we needed for the weekend. I usually feel the cold, so was a bit worried I might feel chilly in the evenings, and took my fleece blanket. However I need not have worried, the whole house was warm and cosy. The kitchen was well equipped with a large electric range, enormous fridge and a freezer, dishwasher and washing machine (not in the kitchen) The beds were comfortable, but the one negative thing was that most of our party (of 10) complained that the pillows were very "full"/hard and so had trouble getting a good night's sleep.Overall a very nice stay in a lovely house.
