Celebrated my partner's 30th birthday on Labour weekend and what a spot! Truly this place is more magical in real life then what photos and videos portray. The feeling when your there is indescribable...! That is when you know you have scored! Thank you for all the lovely amenities, friendliness and privacy whilst we create memories we will also cherish. We had so much fun!

Some recommendations as I believe there is always room for improvement and make a beautiful place like this even better would be, some sun lounges, outdoor heating by the kitchen and dining (this would be perfect for those late nights).

What an incredible place! We absolutely loved our stay. The set up is beyond divine and was so well thought out. Everything was catered for and perfect for our family weekend. All amenities taken care... of, it truly could not have been better.
Sadly we didn't get a visit from the ducks, but the piglets were so cute.
Amazing platter delivery.
Highly recommend this property

Absolutely stunning glamping spot, one of the most luxurious ones I've ever been to! The tent was brilliantly equipped with everything you'd need, great to have the option to keep it cool (windows ope...n with bug screens or ceiling fan) or warm it up (close all windows and turn on the ethanol fire). The hot tub under the stars was a real treat, as were the fresh bread + eggs for breakfast. Highly recommend to everyone.

Stargazing At Orchard Valley

Pop your head out of the tent before you go to bed, just in case the stars are out in full force. There's barely any light pollution out here so if it's a clear night, prepare to be amazed. Bonus points for stargazing from the hot tub!
