    “Excellent holiday at Orchard House.”

    Beautiful surroundings, immaculately clean house, very private, and had everything we needed. Our kids(5 and 3) loved the open space and plenty to keep them entertained. Kate was extremely helpful throughout our visit, went above and beyond, and we hope to visit again in the future.

Discover a lovely sitting room to unwind in, furnished with three sofas to relax on and a Smart TV to entertain, you can fire up the woodburning stove on a cool winter night and get cosy while the large windows present a scenic backdrop.

Socialise in the large kitchen/diner, with sleek, granite worktops, a Belfast sink and high quality appliances ensuring the chef of the group has everything at their fingertips, along with a large, circular table with striking yellow chairs to gather around for delicious meals, and a large Smart TV on the wall which is great for keeping up to date with the news while you sip your morning coffee.

Open the door from this room into the garden in summer and carry out the dishes for alfresco dining on the patio, afterwards taking a dip in the fabulous hot tub while you gaze at the night sky, ending the night gathered around the fire pit.
