Perfect Party Venue

The vast open space of the Walled Garden was ideal for our wedding reception. The beautifully maintained gardens created a stunning backdrop for photos, and the setting allowed us to celebrate in style without feeling cramped.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing golf on the estate's course. The challenging layout combined with well-kept greens made for a good afternoon out. It's the perfect way to unwind for any enthusiast.

Our wedding at Orchardleigh House was nothing short of magical. The stunning settings and attentive staff made us feel like royalty throughout the day. The organization was seamless, with every detail perfectly executed, allowing us to focus on celebrating. However, if there's one minor drawback, it's that the event spaces can get quite busy during peak times, which might impact availability for pictures during those moments.

My experience at Orchardleigh was a mix of delightful moments and some disappointing elements. The picturesque grounds and historic charm are hard to beat, and the staff generally made an effort to be accommodating. However, the dining experience fell short, particularly during our Christmas stay, with uninspired food choices that didn't meet our expectations given the price. Also, there seemed to be a lack of staff leadership, impacting service consistency during our stay.
