Orchard Barn is spacious, detached and oak framed, set in a large garden with pretty woodlands. It has a stunning double height ceiling, giving a truly romantic feel. The cottage is equipped to meet all your needs, from luxurious white linen by Beaumont & Brown, to robes for the spa. I aim to ensure that all my guests have a truly memorable stay.

At Orchard Barn guests will find a truly beautiful barn conversion, set within stunning rural grounds. A Spa Barn was created for guests at the end of 2022 and includes a large, luxurious hot tub and sauna.

A professional sports masseuse can be arranged to further enhance your stay. The Spa Barn is adjacent to Orchard Barn and Crocs and bath robes are provided. An outdoor table tennis table can also be set up for you with bats and balls available.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Fantastic relaxing weekend
Really beautiful location and nicely presented, we were looking for a quiet getaway and got exactly that. The exclusive spa was wonderful and we were offered to book a relaxing massage from Alice a friend of the host, this was very much enjoyed and a nice touch. Chris the host is very kind and courteous. Thanks for having us, would highly recommend.
