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.

Perfect place to stay with the pool, the beach only 1.5 miles away and good food on the doorstep.
