Mobile Reception & Wi-Fi
O2 and networks associated to O2 work well on site, but if you use any other service provider then please use the Wi-Fi to stay connected. Remember you can always use your mobile regardless of service to make an emergency call.
There is free high speed Wi-Fi available in the cottages via Starlink and The Gallery and even as far as the outdoor dinning decking area – by the camping and outdoor bath area. Speeds may sometimes vary, especially if everyone is attempting to stream media at the same time.
Woodburners
For The Cider Barn see how to light a woodburner here.
Dogs
We are dog friendly. One or two well behaved dogs are welcome, charged at £25 in both cottages or £15 if camping, per dog per stay. Please make sure they are clean before entering the accommodation and clean up after your dog, properly disposing of any mess.
As well as being mindful of other guests, please note that The Orchard Retreat is surrounded by working farms and sheep occasionally graze in our meadows. Therefore, dogs must be kept on a lead when in the sheep meadow and under control at all times. For more information, please take a look at our dog info page.
Environmental Impact
We have a 7kw commercial EV charger via Voltshare, shared between all accommodation. So, despite being rural, you won’t need to worry about charging your car when you get here or back from a day trip.
Throughout the site we endeavour to minimise our impact on the environment by using a wind turbine electricity company, bio-digesters for the treatment of waste water, and non-toxic cleaning products. We also provide recycling for waste materials and compost bins for food waste.
The Cider Barn is heated by gas, using Calor’s BioLPG, a sustainable fuel, made from waste, residue and sustainable materials and is their first step towards a greener gas.
We use natural bamboo loo roll which features absolutely no plastic wrapping at all.
We also buy locally where we can and work with other local businesses to ensure our carbon footprint is low – often opting for the clean products that are cruelty free.
Chickens
We have some free range chickens behind the main farmhouse. They are all fenced in and safe should you be bringing your dog, although please do be mindful that they are there and remember to keep your dogs on a lead where necessary – thank you.
