Cleanliness

Most guests found The Orchard to be well-kept, though a few mentioned areas that could benefit from more thorough cleaning. The minor issues did not detract significantly from the overall experience.

Location

The location is highly praised for its isolation, peace, and beautiful views. The remoteness adds to the charm, although it requires some planning for shopping and visiting local villages. The narrow access roads may challenge some drivers.

Thoughtfulness

The provision of maps, guides, and a complimentary bottle of cider suggests a thoughtful touch. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and not guaranteed for every stay.
