5/5
I would leave 6 stars if I could! Beautiful building in a fab location, very easy to walk to the coast path and the village. Jason was really friendly and even drove us to the pub and collected us so we could both have a drink which was totally unexpected but lovely! The room was cosy, beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. VERY comfy bed. Breakfast was lovely, we had a full English and a veggie one, both cooked to perfection, and a massive pot of proper coffee which was perfect.Lovely place, lovely people and Dora dog had a great time too!Highly recommended and we would love to come back.

It's our third year returning to Orchard House, and I still feel compelled to write a glowing review. Jason and Yvonne are incredibly welcoming, and our four-year-old daughter had a wonderful time. …

Our room was light and airy and the bed was comfortable. We had a good view over the rooftops to the sea. Parking was in the car park opposite but you could also park on the road immediately outside. …

We had our "mini moon" here and it was exactly what we wanted. Yvonne and Jason were very welcoming and friendly. The breakfast options were great and they could provide for gluten and dairy free diets. The room was spotless and had a fantastic view. I would highly recommend staying here and would stay again.
