What our customers say about their holidays

  Our stay at Orchard Retreat was simply perfect, The owners were incredibly accommodating from the moment we arrived, we were given a lengthy and detailed tour accompanied with some brilliant recommendations, we felt so at ease right away.

  The cabin itself had everything you could need for a cosy getaway, the interior is so well done and everything was of a very high quality. The hot tub was the Piece De Resistance, it was such an easy setup and the fact it maintained a constant temperature meant we could get in whenever we liked, the speakers made it even more wonderful once you were sat inside, we used the hot tub 2 or 3 times a day when we were there. The views out over the fields and the surrounding trees made the perfect backdrop to sit and gaze out into. Every morning we were able to sit and watch the Large birds flying around and one morning we even saw the farmer herding the sheep. The fire pit was so good to have on the chilly mornings and evenings, the firelighters provided worked a treat and our firewood was replenished when we asked. The hosts answered our calls and questions whenever we had anything we needed to know and were incredibly friendly during our entire stay. Their 4 legged friends were also a delight. In terms of places to go and things to do, you certainly won't run out, the local farm shop is juts a 10 minute drive and the produce in there was to die for! We went for a lovely long walk on our last day and visited the 13th century church on the recommendations of our host. It was a brilliant and picturesque walk with so many good photo opportunities. We really couldn't have asked for a better stay and will most certainly be visiting again!

  We chatted with Samantha the lovely host on arrival and departure so this won’t come as a surprise.

  We absolutely loved this place. The perfect get away. Sam has thought of everything from underfloor heating, full sized oven and fridge, smart tv, Bluetooth your music to the hot tub. Bath robes for getting in & out of the hot tub. So cost with amazing views along with a fenced in garden, the orchard garden, and huge field all for our sole use giving us privacy as well peace of mind for the dogs to run around safely without fear of running off and getting lost. We mentioned how nice it would be to have sun lounge or reclining chairs in the immediate garden to enjoy the views in the sunny afternoons / evenings. We have dogs and a crate so we needed to dismantle the table and chairs & stow them under the bed which was fine but we thought perhaps a bistro set could be placed in the summer house as an option. Oh one thing I forgot to mention to Sam directly was a mini microwave would have been handy however it wasn’t a major thing as it’s really also quite nice getting back to basics. We will be returning, we stayed 4 nights and could have stayed longer. Just perfect.

  This place is a real find.

  The lodge is situated in a very scenic and tranquil area, from almost every window you have fabulous views over the valley and countryside. It is both cosy and spacious. You will find the lodge fitted out to a very high standard with everything you need. The beds are exceptionally comfortable and bathrooms modern and very clean as is the everywhere in the property. It is evident much thought went into the design and provision. The linen is beautifully clean and cosy. The log burner for chilly nights with all logs provided. You can sit out on the patio or enjoy the hot tub, again enjoying the views and tranquility. There are walks locally for those who wish to get in to the countryside and the coast is within easy reach.The owners are very helpful and genuinely make sure you enjoy your stay. It ticked all the boxes for us, we have had a lovely week and feel rested and relaxed. There is a large supermarket and for those with electric cars there are fast charges in Crediton, a short drive from the lodge.

  Absolutely loved our stay here.

  The hut was comfortable and cosy, and very clean. Really well equipped with everything we needed plus a lovely welcome basket including lots of treats for our dog. I was a little worried about space having never stayed in a hut like this before, but it was surprisingly roomy and they have installed some clever storage like an ottoman bed. Location is great, a short drive to a few pubs and lots of other things to do, and onsite you have access to a large private closed off field (great for the dog), and a games room (which we didn’t end up using but looked fab!). And an amazing view to wake up to over the fields, we enjoyed laying in bed with a coffee watching the sheepdogs herd the sheep in the far field! The owners are also super friendly and couldn’t have been more accommodating, with recommendations and when we needed help with a couple of things. It’s clear they really take pride in providing a lovely place to stay. Overall we were very sad to leave and would love to come back one day!

  The hut was lovely n clean in a lovely place the owner had lit the hot tub for me which was lovely and appreciated.

  Lovely bottle of champagne on the table on the way in really nice. How ever the hut it self was so cold the temp on the wall said 5 degrees centigrade. There was no wall heating at all and the under floor heating was off and took till lunch time the next day to get up to 15c. The bed was lovely and comfortable but felt damp with the cold. May be the owner could have put the heating on the day before we arrived to keep it warm n damp free. How ever there was extra blankets available and I had some with me just incase . In the fridge there was 2 glass bottles of water one had frozen as it was so cold in side which I lifted out and it shattered into the sink as it thawed out. I would stay again as the hut and views were amazing. Thanks Bruce
