Guests say

The Orchard in Sussex is a well-loved cottage, praised for its spaciousness, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms. The heated indoor pool is a highlight, providing entertainment for all ages. Despite some dated decor and minor maintenance issues, the property's charm and amenities like a secure garden and ample parking make it a recommended choice for family gatherings.

Guests consistently note the property's cleanliness, with particular mention of the absence of pet hairs and clean linen. However, minor comments about the need for exterior tidying slightly affect the score.

The Orchard is appreciated for its private, countryside setting and proximity to local attractions. Its location on a busy road is noted, but does not detract from the quietness inside. The difficulty in locating the property at night is a minor concern.

The property is described as comfortable, with spacious rooms and a large dining area. Some dated furniture and a subpar sofa bed mattress are mentioned, but overall, the comfort level is high.

The pool is a standout feature, though safety concerns around the poolside are raised. Maintenance issues like plumbing and non-functioning hot tub are noted, but the well-equipped kitchen and large TV are positives.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

    Pool is amazing. Connected hot tub doesn't work though. Plenty of room for dining and large tv to chill and watch films. Seating area is comfortable. We will be booking again next year.

    Steve, the owner, has thought of everything. It really is the perfect house for a group with a mixture of ages. Thank you very much!!

  • Janet

    Pool was a great hit with all. Property was well equipped in the kitchen, never running out of essentials. Bedrooms were comfortable and clean. Plenty of bathroom space. Loved being able to all sit around the dining table for meals. Would recommend for a great family get together.
