Orchardleigh
Cottages have been beautifully restored
and are available primarily for family
holidays of a week or up to 1 month.
Occasionally, they are available for long
weekends, film & photographic work,

Doomsday Book, and is one of the most unspoilt
English Country Estates. Veiled in a tranquil bowl
of parklands and lakes its horizon a sweeping
backdrop of rolling hills. Orchardleigh lends
itself as either a peaceful retreat with golf,
fishing or painting and numerous walks, or an
ideal centre for an active family holiday.
