A fantastic stay at an amazing location

We loved the location and the views from the house are outstanding. Everything is clean and tidy with great communication from the hosts. The description is very accurate. Some reviews had worried me about the driveway but it’s very straightforward, just takes some extra care as you turn in.

Beautiful views!

We stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024, and would have happily stayed another 3 weeks. The property has parking that we were well directed to, on the check-in instructions, and is close enough to everything, without being “too” in the thick of it. The view from the sitting room is unrivaled, and where we spent most of our time. If I had any complaints, it would be that the TV is fussy, and there was no dish towel in the kitchen. Both small things that didn’t really impact our stay. We would happily stay at Orchid House again, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Perfect Location

The property was central in the town in walking distance to all amenities with stunning views over the estuary. All rooms were clean and well maintained with a well appointed kitchen although we ate out all the time. Would definitely book again recommend to others.

Unpleasant smell, living area only caters for 4 people

Downstairs we were greeted with smell of drains and upstairs the small of vomit near dining room table. We thought the money we paid was good value and the hosts very amenable but the prices going forward do not reflect the fact that the living area only caters for four people (4 dining chairs, 4 lounge seats). The furniture is looking tired and not in keeping with modern trends.
