So pleased with our stay at Orchard Lodge. It was incredibly spacious, and so clean and well-kept. Wonderfully quiet, and also relatively cool despite the very hot and sunny weather we had all week. Great to have the very friendly and welcoming owners close by, too, and on-hand in case of any questions.
