Gorgeous barn, with cosy atmosphere and jacuzzi to relax after long hikes! Location is great to visit the new forest and the estate is well looked after by the host. The host was very responsive and accommodating of our request for late checkout.

Everything about our stay here was lovely. Spotlessly clean, cozy, well equipped, with thoughtful touches such as the games in the coffee table which were fun and the Krup coffee maker with pods supplied.Jacuzzi and sauna was fun and again spotless. There were speakers too that we could bluetooth too

We were both very much looking forward to this trip due to our jobs. It is definitely the place to go to if you want to find absolute peace and quiet. The barn is very clean and well presented, it has everything you need and the bonus is of course the hot tub! The stay was worth every penny and we woke up on the day of leaving not wanting to leave. Chris and his partner are lovely people and are very friendly. He has great knowledge of the area and is able to make great recommendations. We would love to come back!

We had a fantastic stay at the Orchard Spa Barn! The standard of the accommodation is excellent, everything was spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed.The amenities were top-notch and covered everything we could have needed during our visit, making our stay incredibly comfortable and convenient. It provided the perfect environment for us to completely disconnect and unwind for a few days.We left feeling thoroughly refreshed and would love to stay here again in the future. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a quality getaway!

Chris made us very welcome at the barn. It was all the added touches that were very appreciated. The barn was lovely and warm, a comfy bed and everything we needed. Primarily the reason for our visit was time out and relaxation. The hot tub and sauna were superb and made our visit very special. We even booked a massage with the wonderful Alice.Thank you for everything.

Chris was very informative and welcoming on arrival. The accommodation was fantastic—the open-plan layout really added to the charm of the barn. It was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay.The separate Spa Barn, just a couple of metres away, was outstanding. The jacuzzi was perfectly hot and spotlessly clean, as was the sauna, which also had built-in Bluetooth speakers and a comfortable seating area—a great touch.The location felt private and remote, yet it was only a two-minute drive to the local village shop, which was ideal.We will definitely be back.

Lovely clean and comfy accommodation set in beautiful grounds. Jacuzzi and sauna were used after big days of walking. Lots to do in the area. We enjoyed our stay very much and Chris was an excellent host. Would have happily extended our stay but sadly had to return to work.

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.

Orchard Barn Spa is located in beautiful, idyllic, secluded countryside. The accommodation is outstanding, with everything you need for a perfect stay. We bumped into the host Chris twice who is very attentive, friendly and a really nice guy. We made great use of the spa in the evenings to relax after a days exploring. We would highly recommend a stay here, and I'm sure we will be returning again. Thank you Chris!

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.

We had such a lovely stay at this Beautiful Barn. My Fiancé and I had such a peaceful stay! Chris is such a kind and lovely man. Everything was just perfect! I truly can’t recommend this lovely little getaway enough to people! The Hot Tub was lovely and warm! We were greeted with a lovely smile and shown around. 100/100 in our eyes!

Much-needed break

Chris’ place is just outside New Forest and is clean and well-kept, with everything you need for a short stay, with the added bonus of its own spa! For two new parents, that was a massive plus. Chris was very welcoming, left us to our own devices and was always on hand if we needed anything. Would recommend to anyone wanting to explore the forest

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!

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.
