This is what others have said about us....
...Sarah’s house is fantastic. It feels very secluded yet is just a few miles from Guildford and half that from the village of Bramley. The house itself is beautifully presented with a (well equipped) kitchen/dining room providing a great central space. With the inclusion of the fifth bedroom there was plenty of room for six adults and three children. The garden provides a great area for children to play, along with a very large covered decking area with bbq which is perfect on a warm evening. Sarah was a wonderful host, very quick to respond to queries and very accommodating. She provided several extra touches that really made a difference to our stay. A fabulous place, would highly recommend.
...An oasis of tranquility, we couldn’t have wished for anything better! we visited for a family gathering and had young kids in our group who loved playing hide and seek in the amazing house and gardens. The kitchen was great for preparing a big Sunday roast. Sarah and Deet were outstandingly hospitable, helpful and always quick to respond. We can‘t recommend this beautiful place enough!
...Swanky pad with lots of room. Close enough to get to Guildford with ease. Great kitchen diner perfect for dinner parties!
..We were blown away by Orchard Paddocks! Such a beautifully presented property, from the gorgeous and peaceful large garden to the very comfortable bedrooms, luxury bathrooms and the quirky, yet super impressive kitchen and dining area. We stayed here for around a month and couldn't have asked for more. Sarah's communication was fast and helpful. The house was warm, comfortable, spacious and fitted out to a very high standard. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to others. Thank you Sarah and Dietrich for such a wonderful stay.
