"Overall, we liked the place, but its a bit frustrating that Wi-Fi isnt free. Wed probably prefer paying a slightly higher rent if it meant having complimentary internet access. Still, decent experience overall!"
"We booked a dog walking getaway and it couldnt have been better. The place was lovely, with great pubs and eateries just a short stroll. Plenty of open fields for walking and the dog loved it! We didnt want to leave."
"We really enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage. The location was perfect-peaceful and away from busy areas. The hot tub was a lovely bonus. Owners were super helpful!"
"We loved the cosy cottage, especially the log burner and hot tub. The hosts were really friendly, super peaceful and we can't wait to come back!"
"Our Andrewshayes Orchard Retreat review: We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the Symphony 3 caravan. The only tiny gripe is that an ironing board wasnt provided and the shower was a bit tricky to get right sometimes. Still, great overall!"
"Really impressed, the site was small but perfectly formed!"
"The views were stunning and the hot tub was amazing!"
"Cozy place, really well kept, loved it!"
"We had such a lovely stay at this place, nestled in a really quiet and scenic spot. The owners were super friendly and always ready to help if needed, but we still felt like we had our privacy. The hot tub was a real treat after a long day of cycling! Just a heads up, the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but it didnt ruin our holiday at all. Overall, a great find!"
"Really loved the overall experience here"

"Overall, pretty decent experience. The only thing that bugged us was having to pay extra for Wi-Fi. Honestly, Id prefer a nearby internet cafe or just a higher rental fee with free Wi-Fi included. Still, not too bad!"
"We really enjoyed our stay here. The new caravans are a great upgrade and the peaceful location with stunning views over Devon made it even better. Definitely a spot we'll come back to!"
"Fantastic holiday, peaceful surroundings, wonderful for children with all the on-site facilities, football pitch and plenty of grass areas. Lodge was well equipped, comfortable and clean. Hot tub well maintained daily. Didn’t eat in restaurant mainly due to it being a bit on the small size so rather cramped and pool outside areas could be revamped but overall would rate the park 10/10 and will be returning."
"Stayed in Orchard Retreat in a holiday home with jacuzzi, it was lovely & clean, there were towels for the Jacuzzi & a little welcome gift of Procecco & biscuits. We couldn't fault it, the onsite restaurant meals were very good. The location was perfect easy to go out & about & we mist definitely will return."
"The lodge was lovely, with beautiful views of the countryside. The hot tub was checked every day and thoroughly cleaned at the end of our stay . The site was well kept. Grandchildren loved the pool, even had to themselves some days . Great family holiday."

"The Orchard retreat was a beautiful place to stay, gorgeous views, a fantastic lodge with all the extras and a lovely pool to cool off in.
We’ll definitely return again."
"Beautiful location looking out over fields. Very helpful staff on arrival, providing maps information and offering to take us to our lodge. Accommodation was lovely and comfortable, very homely with welcome gifts that were a great extra. Amazing for taking the dog too and loved the blanket to allow them on the furniture with us, very different attitude to other places we’ve stayed."
"Perfect location close to many Towns with outstanding beaches etc , second visit here, this time in the orchard retreat, perfect with dogs as has its own dog field and woods. Pool perfect & quiet as not school hols. Lodge was clean and hot tub was perfect. Downside was the bar & restaurant not being open during the week as out of term time but we knew this when booking so no biggy. Highly recommend!"

"Andrewshayes Orchard Retreat is fabulous! We arrived and was greeted with a smile and staff were very friendly and welcoming. We arrived at our lodge and was very pleased with how clean and fresh it all was. The complimentary prosecco and biscuits was such a lovely gesture ?. It is set in a very peaceful area and we all slept so well! Signal was good enough for our mobiles and pads in the evening and connecting to the retreat wifi was easy. Lots of places to visit and plenty of local pubs/restaurants to eat and drink in. We will definately give a 10/10 rating as it was very well deserved."
