Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently note the lodge as spotless and clean, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The lodge's proximity to Tintagel, coastal walks, and beautiful countryside views are frequently commended, although some guests mention the steep walk to the beach and the need for a car to explore further afield.
The majority of guests find the lodge comfortable, with cosy beds and a homely feel. However, a few guests mention that some furniture could be more comfortable, and the laminate flooring may be slippery for pets.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the hot tub, though there are reports of maintenance visits and issues such as a non-locking patio door and a wasp nest near the key safe.
While many reviews express appreciation for the lodge and its amenities, there is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so a score cannot be given in this category.
About this property
Tintagel 0.8 miles. Orchard View is a lovely, single-storey timber lodge sitting on the edge of Bossiney Bay Holiday Park, less than a mile from the historic Tintagel. The patio overlooks a stunning countryside landscape, which can be enjoyed from the outdoor hot tub, and is the perfect getaway for families and friends. Upon entering the lodge, you will find an open-plan living space with a kitchen and living/dining room, offering a sociable setting for a holiday with loved ones to cook, eat, watch TV and play games together. Put your feet up after a long hike and admire the views whilst dinner is in the oven. The lodge provides two bedrooms, one double and one twin, to suit small families or a group of four, as well as a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a walk-in shower and single basin for all your basic needs to prepare for the day. For an outstanding sunset and views overlooking the stunning landscape, there is no better place than Orchard View’s decking area, where you can tuck into an evening meal on the outdoor seating, or recover in the hot tub after a busy day.

Would have loved a washing machine but obviously no space for one, although there is a laundrette just down the road. Info booklet was great, has lots of info about areas to visit and good dog walking beaches. Super comfy bed, which was a massive plus! The view was gorgeous and because we were up early we got to watch the sun rise over the hills. Very romantic!

Before we arrived we received an email with all the information. The lodge is clean, cosy and warm and provided everything we needed for our stay. The hot tub was an added luxury which we used every day even in the rain. Bossiney is only half a mile from Tintagel, an easy walk to the shops and pubs. There is also a great walk across the fields to St Nectans waterfall. Definitely recommend

We had a really lovely stay at Orchard View, it was in a great position that's not overlooked and people aren't walking past which was great for Amber my dog. The views over the countryside from the decking/hot tub were stunning. The lodge was really comfortable and had everything we needed. The sofas and bed were comfy, the kitchen was well equiped even with a full sized fridge/freezer so plenty of room to store food. Made good use of the furniture out on the decking as well as the hot tub! Someone from the site did check the hot tub daily, and apart from the first day when they walked in unannounced and were greeted by 40kg of protective Ridgeback, it wasn't too disruptive. They did shout from the gate for the rest of the week if we were in and usually arrived between 9:30am & 10:30am. The site was quiet, the cafe next door and the icecream van across the road were both amazing. The views across Bossiney Haven were really stunning and access to the west coast path couldn't have been easier. We had an amazing holiday with weather so good we couldnt have wished for better! We would definitely recommend Orchard View and would love to return for another holiday, thank you for a fantastic stay!
