Have stayed in Orchard Retreat for 6 times now and really enjoy the peaceful location. Problems are very few and are quickly put right by helpful staff. The location is ideal for country or coast and the local farm shop is close by for all your needs. Local pub is excellent very good food. The on site swimming pool is open all day and all facilities are very well maintained. You will not be disappointed with your breakaway at Andrewshayes.
