Had a lovely time at the orangery, stayed in the oxburgh suite. The accommodation was so spacious, the bed was massive and very comfortable, and we loved the outdoor hot tub. Location is perfect if you want somewhere quiet and peaceful. There a couple of nice towns/villages around 20-30 mins drive away.

Really quirky place to stay. More than a B&B as we had our own day room attached to the bedroom. Really quite sited on riding stables so great for anyone who likes horses. Stayed there a few times now and will definitely be going back.
