Great location, helpful owners and very comfortable accommodation.
Miss Brealey September 2022
We had a fantastic week at Orchard Dene. Swam in the gorgeous pool every day despite some rainy weather and the log burner kept us toasty in the evenings! The two local pubs were welcoming and did lovely food. Used the local bus service to have a day out as well as making use of the handy car park permit for Putsborough beach. The village is lovely and nothing was too much trouble for the owners who live next door. NT car park at Baggy Point was great for a walk also. Really enjoyed our week and will look to return to Orchard Dene in the future. ...

We had a lovely week at Orchard Dene. The property was spacious for two adults and two teens. The pool was a big hit and we swam everyday. The village is lovely with shop and 2 great food pubs nearby. The beach which we had a free parking pass was great for body boarding. We would very happily return! ...

Perfect place to stay with the pool, the beach only 1.5 miles away and good food on the doorstep.
Mrs Grafton June 2022
We enjoyed a lovely week at Orchard Dene. The house is comfortable, spacious and well equipped. It’s location is perfect for exploring the area and local beaches. Mrs Meek, the housekeeper, is a delight and provided us with plentiful information in terms of walks from the door and top tips etc. The garden, courtyard and swimming pool are fantastic assets and really facilitated outside living and dining. We swam in the pool every day and loved it. ...
