The Orchards

The cows 🐄 greeted us every morning, which was lovely.

The toilet seat kept flipping closed. I think it was broken.

It felt like a home away from home. Clean, beautifully decorated and furnished. Lots of lovely little details.

Nothing! Ideally located for touring the Lake District.

The place had everything possible you could want and more . Lovely and cosy felt at home and perfect for what we needed thankyou

Sorry cant say a thing

The location was nice, & the views.

The response from Victoria is something I really did not like… I messaged on the first night to inform her that the heating wasn’t working. Victoria did not reply until the second night at 10pm this reply was after I had to contact her a second time to inform her that the hot water had then gone off. She made out like it was simple and “just needed boosting” but the thermostat was locked and we could not do it our end. She manually did it her end and so the second night was warmer (late evening 10pm onwards). All I did was inform her on exiting that the chopping boards really smelt of onion and she took extreme offence and sent me a rude message back. I only wanted to let her know because I personally was offended by it and I did not want her to think I had used it and not washed it. She said I was the first to complain and she was rude to me. Albeit even if I was the first to complain I should have been far more annoyed about not having heating or hot water but Victoria homed in on the chopping board comment. Unfortunately I feel that her response spoke volumes. See photos taken from the final day which shows how the accommodation was left and you can also see the back garden in the bedroom photos. I left the property immaculate as I appreciated the stay. We did use the log fire burner, so I am not sure why this woman is trying to be so defensive. At the end of the day the simple fact is that this woman was vile and she clearly cannot deal with any form of constructive criticism.
