Cherry Orchard Retreat

Cabin was spotlessly clean and well situated, comfortable bed and the amenities you could want.

Nothing it was excellent.

Good location away from the busy main road. Host was very friendly, welcoming & informative. The lodge is well designed and functions well. Chideock is a great base from which to explore this wonderful part of the country. Two good pubs within easy walking distance - we had good meals in both, especially liked the friendly, relaxed welcome in The George Inn (although the staff at The Clock were no different !).

The property is exactly as described. As a couple in our mid seventies, manoeuvrability in a tight ish space presented minor problems, but that was down to us and should in no way reflect upon the review for Will’s great retreat !

Very quiet, private little garden, short walk to the beach. Excellent for walking the coast. Good access to walks on foot and bus. Cabin is surrounded by cherry trees, birds and plants. Allocated parking. Will (the host) is excellent, gave us the required infos on how to find the path to the beach, or the busses along the coast. He is unbelievably helpful and easily accessible. We will come again.

The host was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The accommodation was lovely and clean and well appointed. There are great pubs nearby serving excellent food and drinks, and the local beach is a short walk away. Couldn't fault anything. We had a perfect stay and would definitely come back again.

Nothing!

If you know Chideock, you know you have to be away from the Road, preferably above it, to get away from the sound. This property does both. Its very quiet, but with good walking and car access, and a dedicated parking spot. Shopping is easy with as shop under 5 minutes away and many with in 5-10 mins driving. I especially like the farm shop on top of the hill. Pubs with food are within walking difference, as is the bus. If you have kids there is a good play ground 5 minutes walk away. The beach is walkable too, as are the hills above the village. The host lives close, and knows loads and is very helpful.

We should have stayed longer

Will is a wonderful and knowledgeable host! He was on hand whenever we needed him Great location. Small, but very well equipped. Paid extra for use of the hot tub and sauna and they looked lovely, but we didn't get chance to use them :(. We'll just have to come back!

We arrived very late (11.30pm) so it was difficult to find in the dark. Will did come and say hello the next morning though which was really nice :) We stayed for 3 nights and by night 3 we had a few creepy crawlies...but it was expected!

The cabin was warm and cosy. The sauna was very good and easy to use.

The doors don't close properly inside the cabin. It was a great space just needed a professional finish i think. The microwave is a bit too high and out of reach. Needed to stand on a chair to use it. The hot tub was good, I enjoyed that too but I found a bit difficult to access. Lid a bit heavy and there wasn't alot of room around it. Otherwise very nice.

It’s a great peaceful location, walking distance to The Clock Pub, which is a great free house, and the bus stop for Bridport, Weymouth and Lyme Regis. There’s also a foot path across the main road that takes you directly to Sea Town beach and the Anchor pub. Really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely return.

The Cabin was very well equipped had everything we needed for our stay, great location for walks and sight seeing, couldn’t recommend more, thank you Will.

Unfortunately for the duration of our stay the sauna was under maintenance but the owner was unaware before we arrived, the hot tub also had an odour coming from it once the bubbles came on, which put us off from using it.

Clean and tidy

Sofa bed in lounge area was very uncomfortable to sit on
