Everything was lovely
We stayed for the one night in the family room. It was just the two of us, but the room caters for 5 with an upper floor section that would be great for kids.
Tiggy and Pete are lovely hosts, making us feel very welcome. It’s a cosy place to stay and the teas and biscuit selection was perfect. Lots of useful touches included such as games for children, hairdryer and straighteners. Thank you for making us welcome.

Away for work
Nice greeting from owner, room was small as was ensuite. Could hear TV from room next door. Curtains were okay in winter (I went in October) but not sure they would keep morning light out in summer. Headboard on bed kept moving against wall so had to use clothes to stop it. Pillows were rock hard. Cold breakfast included, lots of choice, I believe cooked brekfast was extra payment. Free parking was limited, street parking had a 1 hour restriction in morning and afternoon.

Not a comfortable place to stay.
Not so good. The accommodation was small and cramped for 4 people. Only 1 arm chair and 1 desk chair, no closet with no where to put the luggage. Up a flight of stairs, too. One had to walk thru the private home space of the hosts to reach the breakfast room. Continental breakfast or English breakfast for an additional fee. Tho the bedding was clean the area looked like it needed a good vacuum. The private living space carpeting was covered in dog hair! The bathroom was small and old. Really needed attention. For example rusting soap dishes! No shampoo etc was provided. The hosts were aggressive and rude when we arrived. The garden was full of junk and neglected. One king bed, and two mattresses on the floor in the loft, up the broken stairs which were somewhat dangerous. Coffee and biscuits were available in the room.

Very clean and welcoming b&b
We had to attend a family wedding nearby and found this place which appeared to have everything we needed. So booked it straightway.
The wedding was on a Sunday afternoon so we asked if we could leave our luggage in our room.
The room was on the 1st floor (only upper floor).
We were shown a very clean room and it had everything. Kettle and tea/coffee making stuff.
It had an en-suite shower, toliet and wash basin. All nice & clean with appropriate towels.
The owners were very inviting and hospitable making us very welcome.
We would definitely go there again if the situation arises.

Excellent location for my needs, fabulous hosts, lovely property, exceptionally clean, pristine bathroom and a great breakfast.
Slightly noisy plumbing from adjoining room(s) delayed my sleep a little but not a big issue.

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Orchard House. Tiggy and Pete were very welcoming and very tolerant of the five of us in our 20s getting ready for a wedding reception! We stayed in the family room which was lovely and light with plenty of skylights. The little touches like biscuits and chocolates really made us feel welcome. The beds were super comfortable and we slept very well! It was great to have the mezzanine as well to extend the space. Nice quiet street as well and easy to get to the station or shops!

Was greeted by the host, very friendly. Shown to our room and made to feel welcome. We were in a double room. Clean, modern, bed was comfy, tea and coffee biscuits with complimentary choc. Breakfast was served in large dining room and hosts were attentive.
Would we stay again if in the area…? Most defiantly !
