Tyckte om ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Orchard Hideaway – Honest Review We stayed at Orchard Hideaway this weekend and, to be honest, I was a little nervous beforehand after reading some of the reviews — but I wanted to share a completely honest reflection of our stay. The site itself is absolutely lovely. The scenery is beautiful, and you genuinely wouldn’t think you were so close to a busy A-road — it feels much more peaceful than expected. One of the unexpected bonuses was how convenient the location is. It’s only a couple of minutes’ walk to places like Burger King and Greggs, which was a lifesaver with the kids while we were getting the barbecue set up or waiting for food. There are also plenty of supermarkets nearby, including an Aldi just a 3–4 minute drive away, which made things really easy. We did visit Pooley Bridge during our stay and it’s absolutely lovely — definitely worth a trip out if you’re staying here. As for the pods — they were perfect for what we needed. They’re not very spacious and there isn’t much storage, but we just made it work. There are little ledges by the bunk beds which we used for clothes and bits, so it wasn’t an issue. The facilities inside were great — the fridge, microwave and kettle were all really useful. The Wi-Fi was spot on, and we were able to log into Netflix, Prime, etc. without any problems at all. We also decided to hire out the chill-out area — and I would definitely recommend it. It might seem a little pricey at first, but it’s well worth it, especially if you can share the cost with another group. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Each pod has its own individual barbecue/fire area with a bench, located just a short distance away, which is ideal and keeps everything nicely set out. The walk to the toilets and showers is literally seconds, which was really convenient. They were always clean, which is a big plus. We did take our own toilet roll just in case, which I’d probably recommend doing. The showers were lovely — once you get used to how they work, they’re absolutely fine. The pods also had heating, which was great. We only needed it on for about an hour before bed and then turned it off, and it stayed lovely and warm — we didn’t even need sleeping bags some nights. We took our dog along and had no issues at all. He was on the lead most of the time and well-behaved, and everyone on site was really relaxed about it. Overall, we had a really lovely stay. If you go expecting loads of space, it might not be for you — but if you’re happy with a cosy, well-equipped pod in a great location, it’s definitely worth it. We’ll definitely be returning later in the year 😊
