Chris made us very welcome at the barn. It was all the added touches that were very appreciated. The barn was lovely and warm, a comfy bed and everything we needed. Primarily the reason for our visit was time out and relaxation. The hot tub and sauna were superb and made our visit very special. We even booked a massage with the wonderful Alice.Thank you for everything.

Chris was very informative and welcoming on arrival. The accommodation was fantastic—the open-plan layout really added to the charm of the barn. It was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay.The separate Spa Barn, just a couple of metres away, was outstanding. The jacuzzi was perfectly hot and spotlessly clean, as was the sauna, which also had built-in Bluetooth speakers and a comfortable seating area—a great touch.The location felt private and remote, yet it was only a two-minute drive to the local village shop, which was ideal.We will definitely be back.

Lovely clean and comfy accommodation set in beautiful grounds. Jacuzzi and sauna were used after big days of walking. Lots to do in the area. We enjoyed our stay very much and Chris was an excellent host. Would have happily extended our stay but sadly had to return to work.

Orchard Barn Spa is located in beautiful, idyllic, secluded countryside. The accommodation is outstanding, with everything you need for a perfect stay. We bumped into the host Chris twice who is very attentive, friendly and a really nice guy. We made great use of the spa in the evenings to relax after a days exploring. We would highly recommend a stay here, and I'm sure we will be returning again. Thank you Chris!

I have spent 20 years visiting the New Forrest for holidays and I wish I had found this place before, it is a gem. The owner Chris was extremely welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable and accomodating. We enjoyed our stay so much that we booked another stay for later on this year while we were there. I cannot recommend this location highly enough.

Chris’ place is just outside New Forest and is clean and well-kept, with everything you need for a short stay, with the added bonus of its own spa! For two new parents, that was a massive plus. Chris was very welcoming, left us to our own devices and was always on hand if we needed anything. Would recommend to anyone wanting to explore the forest

Perfect spot for a relaxing couples getaway.

We had the best and most relaxing weekend here! The property is beautiful and cosy and well equipped. Exactly as described in the description. The hot tub and sauna room is a fabulous addition and very relaxing. Just what the Dr ordered for a break from city life. Chris is a fabulous host and was available to answer any questions we had or provide lots of suggestions for things to do in the area. There's lots of great trails and Fordingbridge with pubs and restaurants is a short walk away. We will definitely be back again!

A fabulous place to stay.

Beautiful barn, amazing hot tub and sauna. Nothing at all left out in the property and everything is of an amazing standard. Host is super, left us alone but is on hand if needed. The only down side is not really walking distance to a pub but we knew this before we booked. So easy to get to places though by car. We visited Salisbury, Ringwood, Burley (cycled round the new forest) and of course Fordingbridge. Would definitely return. Perfect venue.

Very nicely appointed. Very quiet other than occasional road noise - you can certainly hear the wildlife outside of the barn. The night sky was very clear and with relatively low light pollution (from a city dwellers point of view) so a lot more stars visible. Kitchen area is somewhat small - plenty enough for cooking for two unless you plan on doing something pretty complicated. Spa barn was very nice and usable irrespective of weather.

Relaxing and Peaceful

The property was perfect for us. It was clean, tidy and well laid out. It had everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. The bed was super comfortable (I slept better than i usually do at home!). We had sole use of the hot tub and sauna during our stay, and even had use of laundry facilities if we needed it. It was such a quiet and peaceful place, we enjoyed sitting out in the evening, with the chimenea on for extra warmth. The property owner was very friendly and easy to talk to. He offered some good local knowledge and recommended local places to visit. We were very happy with our time at Orchard Barn Spa and look forward to returning for another short break soon.

Somewhere special

What a beautiful Barn and Spa setting, easy to find using the owners directions (satnav was good to a point). It was the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. Communicating with Chris was effortless and he also offered some good recommendations regarding where to go, especially restaurants. The Three Lions was just perfect, thanks Chris. Orchard Barn has everything you need to make it a relaxing holiday. There is so much to see and do in the surrounding areas you are spoilt for choice as you can do as much or as little as you like (we ran out of time though!) The weather was great too apart from 1 day but If the local sightseeing gets too much, you can simply chill out in your exclusive spa and sauna. The separate building that housed these was great and we loved the fairy lights as it gave a very relaxing atmosphere in the evening. Both the Hot tub and sauna was used quite a lot (especially on the 1 wet day we had). The Barn is very spacious for 2 people and if you like to cook like I do then there’s just about enough equipment to whip up a meal or two! We absolutely loved this place and will return when next down South. Thanks again Chris.

Mooi ingericht en net verblijf, vlakbij New Forest waar je heerlijk kunt fietsen en wandelen. Na afloop heerlijk ontspannen in de spa. Gastheer Chris is erg gastvrij en aardig en stond voor ons klaar. Heel attent zijn die kleine dingen als een lekker taartje, de pint of milk, verse bloemen en een lief welkomst kaartje. Al met al een echte aanrader.
