Orchard Reviews

Everything you could need for a fantastic get away from it all holiday logs for burners and hot tub , privacy lovely view, comfy bed and all facilities . Definitely stay again
The whole setup, from booking to leaving was flawless and seamless. The accommodation was excellent and the setting beatiful. The squirrels were included in the price. A highly recommended experience.
Andrew
Absolutely perfect. Farmer Pete welcomed us and showed us round and said if you need anything let me know. We didnt because everything was perfect. I cannot recommend this shepherds hut Hugh enough.
I would highly recommend this shepherds hut to anyone who wants a private, relaxing, stressfree holiday in a lovely part of Cornwall. For once, the place in person was better than the photos online! The owners had amazing attention to detail to make the most of the space in the hut. There were baskets at the end of the bed to put out belongings in and a lot of space under the bed for bags suitcases etc. The hut was very clean and came equipped with everything we would need while staying there. All cooking and cleaning equipment was provided and we didnt feel like we were missing anything needed during our stay. The hot tub and outdoor space was magical! The hot tub was really easy to use and the owners showed us how to use it and assured us that we can ask for help if we needed. The parking area is off road and secure, the place was very easy to get to. A lovely touch was having tea and coffee as well as a small bottle of milk possibly from their farm! so we could have a hot drink once we got there if we wanted to. Overall, an extremely positive experience! This hut made our holiday so much better especially with the location being so convenient to drive to popular spots nearby. I am very impressed with everything and cant find any faults. If youre wondering whether or not to choose this place to stay on your Cornish holiday, Im here to say do it!! Thank you to the owners again for all your help and kindness, and Ive already gotten my parents to book!!
We had a wonderful stay at Orchid, where host Peter was very helpful and just a phone call away. The little place was charming, featuring a hot tub, peaceful surroundings, and a secluded setting. It was spotlessly clean and had everything needed for a cozy stay. The fridge was small, so I recommend not bringing foods that require refrigeration. We enjoyed a comfortable visit. It took us some time to learn how to set the right temperature for the hot tub, since it works on a log fire, which we weren't used to. The water in the shower was slightly warm, but it didn't bother us I believe Peter would have been happy to fix it if we asked. Overall, its a very nicely arranged little place, especially loved the log fire inside. The only improvement Id suggest is a better way into Orchid through the farm. Bring some wellies if you're there during the rainy season, as it did get our shoes wet walking to and from the car. Perhaps a short pathway could fix this, but I also understand that being surrounded by nature is part of the experience. We highly recommend this place.
Valentina
Cozy, super clean, well appointed, getaway near Wadebridge. Bed super comfortable. Nice hot tub. Great for couples. Not for those with mobility issues.
Wow! What a beautiful setup! I was travelling alone from NZ for a school reunion and to see friends and family and needed a sanctuary to return to at the end of the day! That is just what I got! It is a beautiful location, quiet and tranquil, surrounded by nature, whilst easy access to facilities if needed. The Hut has everything you need. They have thought of everything. Stylish, comfortable and practical at the same time. And the hot tub was the icing on the cake! What a lovely way to end the day! Thank you, thank you!
Sophie
5 Stars A Wonderful Cabin Escape! We had an amazing stay at this cozy and peaceful log cabin. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. One of the highlights was the private hot tubperfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The cabin was private and tucked away, all the places we wanted to visit were just a short drive, which made exploring super convenient. We loved every minute and cant wait to come back! Thanks for having us! Sophie & Kristian
Lovely and quiet place, Pete showed us around and told everything how things works out there, very kind and humble person. Would love to go again.

Our 4th stay at Pengelly Farm and it didn't disappoint. Wonderful hosts and a great couples retreat.
Lovely peaceful holiday. Great hot tub and shepherd hut.
Nasira
This stay was above and beyond all our expectations. The owners are lovely, left us fresh milk, and the hut had everything in it you could need for your stay including a small stove and kitchen utensils, crockery and cutlery. The bed was comfy and the shower and toilet clean. We LOVED getting into the wood fired hot tub every night watching the sun set over the fields. Pure bliss. We have now said we will come back every year. If you are thinking of booking a stay at Skye Cottages please DO IT.

My husband and I decided to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary at this place and we were happy with our decision 100! We havent been away from kids and havent spent time just two of us for nine years. And wanted a secluded, quiet and romantic place with a hot tub and fire pit. We got all what we wanted and hosts were so welcoming and hospitable! We felt looked after and at the same time without any pressure or feeling that anyone is around. We enjoyed fire pit and got wood supply without any limit and we appreciated that this hut had everything one needs for a getaway like that. It was cosy, warm, sparkling clean and very comfortable everywhere. It has all a couple needs for a romantic stay! Bed sheets were fresh and crispy and plates, cutlery and cooking appliances were hug quality and it was nice to eat and drink using them. Hot tub was amazing! It gave us couple of hours of joy and pleasure sitting watching stars and enjoying silence and listening to music! Loved every minute there and I agree with other reviewers that this is a place to remember and keep coming back to. Its definitely on our list to come back when we get another chance! Lovely place! Thank you to the hostsowners! We will be back
The shepherds hut was situated in a nice location with plenty of privacy. The owners were very friendly and helpful during our stay even though we only saw them at the beginning of our stay. They ensured that there was plenty of wood for the stove and hot tub and were easily contacted if required. The only small drawback was the sound of the dairy farm from around 5am but that is to be expected when staying in a rural place! We would highly recommend this place for a relaxing holiday!!!
Michael
Amazing property, everything you need for a comfy private vacation. From the hot tube to the huts utensils everything is well throughout. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing comfortable break. I will definitely return.
A great place to stay, the hut had everything you require, with added touches that made it very welcoming and comfortable, in a lovely private location. Estelle was very friendly and went out of her way to please, the surrounding areas where very beautiful and the hot tub was great to return to after a day out. We really enjoyed our stay and say thanks to the Pengelly farm family. Would definitely return in the future. Thanks John & Karen.
Thomas
