What a lovely place to spend a holiday. We spent a week there. Olchard Lodge deff had the wow factor. Spotlessly clean and had everything you could possibly need for a stay there. The welcome pack was an absolute treat and much appreciated. We used the lodge as a base to see the surrounding area and travelled as far as Lands End. Going back to the lodge after a day exploring was great, into the hot tub to relax. No noise heard and we had a good sleep each night. We would absolutely recommend Olchard Lodge. If we ever venture that way again, we would deff return.

We have just spent a fantastic week at Olchard Lodge. The property itself is beautifully decorated and very well equipped with everything you need. The outside area is lovely with sitting areas and a hot tub. Very nice welcome pack too. Highly recommended.
