Just back from a week’s stay at Orchid Lodge during a very hot week. My husband enjoyed his on-site fishing sessions every day. The grounds are very peaceful and the perfect place to unwind. The lodge is well equipped, clean and comfortable which added to our enjoyment. Danny is the perfect host and keen to ensure all guests are happy. Thank you

The most wonderful, peaceful place. Lodge was beautiful, fishing excellent. Best of all for us was the isolated location😊. No wifi😊. You will need a car. Great pubs, shops all within 5-10 mins drive.But what made our holiday was the host. Danny is amazing, friendly, funny and was determined to make sure we had the best holiday. We are going back😊
