What our customers say about their holidays
Lena - Verified booking
Had a lovely stay at The Orchard.
Space is great and rooms very comfortable. Although the accommodation is spotless it's decor is very tired and could do with some TLC. There is a lot of minor stuff not working and the plumbing definitely needs addressing as there are lots of loose taps and furred up shower heads. A few new washers wouldn't go amiss. The tumble dryer might need looking at as it makes a horrible noise. The outside of the accommodation let's it down as the gutter needs fixing and clearing and the garden needs some tidying and all in need of general maintenance. We had some issues with getting hot water but it's was due to the eccentric plumbing and a couple of calls to the host got it resolved. But it wasn't very convenient to have to do this. A few spares such as bulbs being available would have been helpful. Perhaps a welcome/house guide summarising the house quirks would be helpful? TV in lounge was amazing! Main bathroom shower likewise. Host was very polite and helpful. Kitchen very well equipped but could use some weighing scales perhaps? H&S wise the poolside is lethal if wet, some rubber matting wouldn't go amiss to make it much safer. We had several near misses and one accident on the steps from the house into the pool despite being very careful. Especially worrying when we had elderly and very young children in our party. I would say not doing so is failing in duty of care. A sign warning of the slippery surfaces is not sufficient in my opinion. Thank you Orchard we enjoyed our stay immensely despite a few things hiccups. Wold have give a higher rating if not for poor maintenance of plumbing and safety issues of poolside.

We were a party of 8 adults, 3 children under 6 and a dog and booked The Orchard for a family birthday celebration.
It was a really wonderful week and this lovely family home suited all of our needs perfectly. The house was very spacious, with a large table able to seat all of us in the dining room and another, smaller table in the kitchen, which still seated 8 comfortably. The kitchen was large and very well equipped, having everything we needed, so it never felt crowded. The cottage was also clean and there was lovely linen on the beds. The bedrooms were comfortable and although the bedroom furniture in particular, was dated, it rather suited the age of the house. The en suite shower rooms were small but the main en suite bathroom was good and the family bathroom was spacious, with a large shower and roll top bath. Everyone in the group loved the beautiful swimming pool but as the 3 children were non swimmers, we made sure they had buoyancy aids for safety, as I believe the pool depth varies from 3 ft to 6 ft 6â. Although the property is situated on a fairly busy road, itâs surrounded by fields and is perfectly located to explore the Kent and Sussex countryside, National Trust properties, beaches etc. One small point we would like to mention to improve things for the future, would be to illuminate âThe Orchardâ sign outside the property, as two of our party arrived in the dark and went up and down the road several times, trying to locate the house. It was fine once we all knew the exact position of the property. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed our week here, I would recommend The Orchard and would love to stay here again!

First of all let me say that we had a really great time, 3 generations of 6 adults, 5 children and 3 dogs, the secure garden for the dogs, the paddock for ball games and the pool all made for a very relaxed fun time for everyone.
We loved the quirky layout and although the decor is generally very lacking with paper peeling from walls etc. in some rooms and very shabby furniture it meant that we could be relaxed about having children and dogs with us. First impressions were not too good, the building is in need of some serious repair/maintenance. The front entrance was rickety and dirty, I swept and washed the porch before the rest of the family arrived. However inside everything was clean and very well equipped apart from no scissors in the kitchen and two unusable tin openers, which provided a challenge. The sofa-bed mattress needs replacing immediately, but luckily we had sleeping bags with us so used them on top to cushion it. Otherwise all the bedrooms were very comfortable. The shower tray in the main bathroom is dangerously slippery, causing two near misses and needs some non-slip strips. The heated pool was fantastic for all the family providing hours of fun, however the steps down into the pool area are worn and slippery even when not wet so need some attention, perhaps again some non-slip strips or surface needed. All in all, I would recommend the Orchard but with the proviso to accept it for what it is and enjoy the company you are with.

Lovely property in a good location on the main A28 - so easy to get out and about.
Despite the busy road, it was quiet on the inside of the house. The swimming pool was a big plus - especially given the poor winter weather. However, it is a shame the Hot tub was not functioning (disconnected by the owner due to previous abuses) and likewise, the poolside shower was also disconnected (due to similar abuses in the past). The kithen utilities all worked well though, so it was possible to cook lots of yummy dishes using the excellent Sussex produce. The rooms were a very good size and the beds were very comfortable. There was some difficulty with one of the showers which we have alerted the owner about, but everything else worked well. The owner was very helpful and responsive about (very minor) issues encountered with some of the fittings. The only other (niggling) point was the lack of towels. Not a major problem but just had to remember to bring our own - which was unsual. All in all, a very pleasant stay in a very pleasant part of the country. Thank you Steve.

A lovely house in large grounds, very grand but not for relaxing. This is the first house we have rented where No cleaning products are provided, not even washing up liquid. We were a family group of 7 adults 3 children and a baby but there was not enough comfortable seating inside for us all to sit together in the evenings. The outside furniture is in need of attention, some of the wooden chairs are broken. The decking is broken by the pool and you need shoes on the patio area otherwise you get splinters in your feet! Fortunately the weather was glorious for our stay and the pool was wonderful. Take plenty of spray for the horse flies though. In spite of negatives we did have a lovely week and there was certainly plenty of space for us all. Not sure I’d recommend the property for those with small children, too many antiques and breakables and the pool is not fenced but great for adults.
