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.

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!

I have enjoyed welcoming guests to Orchard Barn for the past 5 years, I am a keen cyclist - on both road and mountain bikes. I paddleboard regularly and also compete in motorsport.

Why they chose this property

I bought Orchard House in 2016 as a large, historic renovation project. The first building to be renovated was Orchard Barn and the final stage of this conversion has just been completed in autumn 2022 with the repurposing of an outbuilding into a Spa Barn with a large hot tub and sauna exclusively for guests' use during your stay. A professional sports masseuse is also available to visit the barn and provides massages as well as facials.

What makes this property unique

A beautiful, unique and spacious oak framed barn. A separate, but adjacent, Spa Barn with 5 seater hot tub and sauna for your sole use. Unusually, the hot tub is indoors but with large bifold doors to provide the best of both worlds! The large grounds are a key feature of the property, around 3.5 acres of paddocks, lawns and woodlands including several ponds and a wide variety of visiting wildlife from deer, to badgers, otters and red kites to buzzards...
