Guest comments
Review submitted by Sarah from Australia: My family and I highly recommend this property. We all travelled from Australia and met up at this property in Orche to spend a week together over Christmas. There were eight of us and this house was really comfortable for this many adults. Orche is a lovely village and we really enjoyed taking day trips in the area. The owners of the property were wonderful to deal with. They made us feel very welcome and were able to offer advice on any questions we had. We had a fantastic Christmas that all of us will never forget. And we would all love return to Orche again soon!
