We had a lovely stay at Orchard Dene. The property met all our expectations and I honestly couldn’t fault it! Mrs Meek (owner) was friendly and accommodating- she wasn’t ever intrusive, but we knew she was on hand if we needed her. The cottage was beautifully clean and well equipped and we felt very at home. We were very lucky with the weather and got to enjoy the pool - it is chilly but that didn’t bother my 7yr old and husband and I wore a wetsuit when I went in - and we ate all meals at the table outside in the courtyard, which is beautiful! The location is perfect for getting to the beach (the parking permit is a huge added bonus!) and we enjoyed a few meals at the Kings Arms as well as day trips to Arlington Court Gardens and Broomhill sculpture gardens (we had our dog with us). The beds were comfortable and despite being on the main road through Georgeham, we didn’t find things too noisy and had the bedroom windows open at night. It was a great family week away and we hope to return. ...

A little treasure tucked away in Georgeham!! Minutes from the beach (the beach parking pass an added bonus for walking the dog) and has the peace of a village. Masses of space and the pool a bonus! Already coming back!
Mr Treacher June 2022
Very comfortable cottage with parking and a large sunny patio, plus the added bonus of a swimming pool! Georgeham is a picturesque village with 2 good pubs and easy access to Putsborough beach. Highly recommended.

Great location, helpful owners and very comfortable accommodation.

We had a fantastic week at Orchard Dene. Swam in the gorgeous pool every day despite some rainy weather and the log burner kept us toasty in the evenings! The two local pubs were welcoming and did lovely food. Used the local bus service to have a day out as well as making use of the handy car park permit for Putsborough beach. The village is lovely and nothing was too much trouble for the owners who live next door. NT car park at Baggy Point was great for a walk also. Really enjoyed our week and will look to return to Orchard Dene in the future. ...
