Just returned from a great 3 day break at Orchard Hill Hotel. Steve and Jane are excellent hosts and looked after us brilliantly. The hotel is extremely clean and they have taken every opportunity to put in measures to make it as covid safe as possible. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return if we were in the area again. Thank you both.
