“Wow! What a beautiful set-up!”
I was travelling alone from NZ for a school re-union and to see friends and family and needed a sanctuary to return to at the end of the day! That is just what I got! It is a beautiful location, quiet and tranquil, surrounded by nature, whilst easy access to facilities if needed. The Hut has everything you need. They have thought of everything. Stylish, comfortable and practical at the same time. And the hot tub was the icing on the cake! What a lovely way to end the day! Thank you, ...

Sophie “5 Stars – A Wonderful Cabin Escape!”
We had an amazing stay at this cozy and peaceful log cabin. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. One of the highlights was the private hot tub—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The cabin was private and tucked away, all the places we wanted to visit were just a short drive, which made exploring super convenient. We loved every minute and can’t wait to come back! Thanks for having us! Sophie & Kristian

Jeanette “We had a lovely holiday at The Orchard Shepherd's hut and the hot tub was a bonus!”
The view from our hut was amazing! The owners were very nice and helpful. The area was outstanding with lots to see and do. Very pretty part of the country. Orchard is a lovely romantic spot if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life! Peaceful, relaxing and romantic place.

Nasira “This stay was above and beyond all our expectations.”
The owners are lovely, left us fresh milk, and the hut had everything in it you could need for your stay including a small stove and kitchen utensils, crockery and cutlery. The bed was comfy and the shower and toilet clean. We LOVED getting into the wood fired hot tub every night watching the sun set over the fields. Pure bliss. We have now said we will come back every year. If you are thinking of booking a stay at Skye Cottages please DO IT.

Jyldyz “My husband and I decided to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary at this place and we were happy with our decision 100%!”
We haven’t been away from kids and haven’t spent time just two of us for nine years. And wanted a secluded, quiet and romantic place with a hot tub and fire pit. We got all what we wanted and hosts were so welcoming and hospitable! We felt looked after and at the same time without any pressure or feeling that anyone is around. We enjoyed fire pit and got wood supply without any limit and we appreciated that this hut had everything one needs for a getaway like that. It was cosy, warm, sparkling clean and very comfortable everywhere. It has all a couple needs for a romantic stay! Bed sheets were fresh and crispy and plates, cutlery and cooking appliances were hug quality and it was nice to eat and drink using them. Hot tub was amazing! It gave us couple of hours of joy and pleasure sitting watching stars and enjoying silence and listening to music! Loved every minute there and I agree with other reviewers that this is a place to remember and keep coming back to. It’s definitely on our list to come back when we get another chance! Lovely place! Thank you to the hosts/owners! We will be back :)…

Gavin “The shepherds hut was situated in a nice location with plenty of privacy.”
The owners were very friendly and helpful during our stay even though we only saw them at the beginning of our stay. They ensured that there was plenty of wood for the stove and hot tub and were easily contacted if required. The only small drawback was the sound of the dairy farm from around 5am but that is to be expected when staying in a rural place! We would highly recommend this place for a relaxing holiday!!!
- Gavin, April 2023 -
Michael “Amazing property, everything you need for a comfy private vacation.”
From the hot tube to the huts utensils everything is well throughout. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing comfortable break. I will definitely return.
- Michael, April 2023 -
Jack “After longs days of walking and surfing, Orchard was the perfect home for my girlfriend and I to wind down and we felt welcomed by its cuteness every time.”
This adorable Shepherds Hut contains everything you need for a perfect break away, even in March, we felt cozy…the hot tub certainly helped. I would recommend the shepherd huts here to any couple in need of an escape, a truly perfect 5 night holiday!!
- Jack, March 2023 -
Helen “Orchard is such a wonderful place to stay!”
It is presented so nicely, and it's fully equipped, even down to the bath robes for the hop, skip and jump to the delightful hot hub! Outside is well equipped also, positioned right next to the glorious orchard, with views across the open fields. It was lovely to relax in the evening enjoying the tranquillity of the location and the warmth of the flames from the fire pit. Pete, the owner, was there to greet us too, it was so lovely to meet him, and he made us feel so welcome.....thank you Pete. We will most definitely be returning, and we have already recommended Orchard to our family and friends too. See you soon Pete :)
- Helen, October 2022 -
Agatha “We had such a lovely stay at the Orchard.”
Everything was so well thought out, and it was so peaceful and relaxing…just what we needed! The location was perfect to explore Cornwall. Pete and Estelle were great hosts. I would definitely recommend to anyone.
- Agatha, October 2022 -
John “A great place to stay, the hut had everything you require, with added touches that made it very welcoming and comfortable, in a lovely private location.”
Estelle was very friendly and went out of her way to please, the surrounding areas where very beautiful and the hot tub was great to return to after a day out. We really enjoyed our stay and say thanks to the Pengelly farm family. Would definitely return in the future. Thanks John & Karen.
- John, September 2022 -
John “Perfect time at Orchard, The communication was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does on the pictures.”
Although we arrived late was greeted with a warm welcome and hot tub ready to go, Would absolutely recommend a stay there! Also a great location to access lots of Cornwall, peaceful and private.
- John, September 2022 -
Steven “Really enjoyed our stay at orchard hut,relaxing, quiet and peaceful, however advertised with hob which it did not have.”
Hot tub fantastic and as many logs as you want unfortunately due to the drought we could not use barbi until Thursday after the rain.But saying that we still had a great time and would definitely recommend a stay there
- Steven, August 2022 -
Thomas “A perfect little shepherds hut, nice a quiet with everything thought of.”
Would highly recommend.
- Thomas, August 2022 -
Daniel “We loved our stay at orchard!”
The hot tub was also very relaxing. The fridge broke a few days in through overheating, however it was on the hottest week of the year so its understandable. Plus the owners went out of their way to store our goods (holidays presents) in their fridge or an empty caravan fridge, which was very much appreciated. Only one niggle would be the bushes/trees could have done with a trim, allowing a bit more light and viewing out from the decking. If you're a city dweller and aren't used to driving rural roads be warned, they are tight! But so worth it :) We would love to go back!
- Daniel, July 2022 -
Jon “We have just returned from a two night stay and have only one word to describe our experience, fantastic!”
! . What a lovely place, super interior , comfortable bed, nice bedding,good facilities,wood fired hot tub, secluded spot. We loved it, can’t wait to come back.!!
- Jon, July 2022 -
Nikki “Peaceful, tranquil and beautiful.”
The shepherd hut was just what we wanted. Beautifully decorated, real wood burners and the hot tub was a lovely touch. Not too far from the nearest town, it was a lovely couple of days away from it all. Thank you
- Nikki, July 2022 -
Caroline “We had a great stay at Orchard.”
Pete was very friendly and welcoming when we arrived, made sure had everything we needed and that we knew how to use the hot tub. Loved the privacy of the Shepard’s Hut. It was very comfortable and clean, great facilities, great views. The hot tub was fantastic, we used it every morning and evening, so worth it!
- Caroline, May 2022 -
Joanne “Lovely cosy hut, suitable for 2 people.”
We had the best stay there. Clean and tidy. Beautiful and quiet. Hot tub was spectacular. Thank you
- Joanne, April 2022 -
James “We had a wonderful stay, the setting is gorgeous, the hut was incredibly well kept and had everything we could need in it, the hot tub was really relaxing and keeping it going ourselves with the log burner was actually quite fun.”
We had a great time using the hut as a base when we went out in the day before coming back in the evening, the sheltered outside area was a nice touch and allowed us to have dinner outside most nights. The only tiniest quibble I could have and this is picky, the front door of the hut was very stiff, and pushing it closed enough to lock required really putting your shoulder in, fine for us we're fairly young, but I can imagine an older couple struggling with it. That's it though, otherwise we had a perfect little escape and we will definitely be back in the future.
- James, April 2022 -
Cameron “Fantastic weekend very chilled out and stress free!”

Kiera “It was exactly what we needed!”
The perfect little retreat with complete privacy and gorgeous views. Even the rainy days were lovely with the wood burner in the cozy hut. The owner was lovely and we can’t wait to go back again!
- Kiera, September 2021 -
Thierry “We loved our our stay in orchard cottage everything was perfect and with a little trimming of the surrounding edges to allow more sun in our garden we would have give a 10/10 .”
Thank you for being such a great host for our staying.
- Thierry, September 2021 -
Neil “Just love this place.”
This was our second stay here and it was every bit as good as we remembered. Beautiful shepherd's hut, with everything you need for a peaceful, relaxing holiday. The new decking area meant you could find a spot to relax in the sun, or cool off in the shade, from early morning to late evening. It's set in the perfect location for beautiful walks along the camel trail. There's plenty of places locally to visit, if you care tear yourself away from the farm. Would love to return but with prices doubling for the same week next year we may have to save up for a while first.
- Neil, August 2021 -
Cameron “Stayed in the orchard hut for 5 nights, it was so peaceful and relaxing.”
The owners were extremely welcoming when we arrived and didn’t ever interrupt us. The new covered seating area was so lovely to sit in out of the sun and had a view I could look at every day forever. The hot tub was a wonderful addition being heated with fire made it even more special. I would go back without hesitation.
- Cameron, July 2021 -
Stephen “3rd time Stay at this location & still smitten over it have booked again for next year.”
- Stephen, July 2021 -
Ruthie “Everything was just amazing”
- Ruthie, June 2021 -
Jean “We had a lovely relaxing holiday in the orchard shepherds hut .”
We arrived and the owner Pete had the hot tub ready for us. The far reaching views are lovely and we enjoyed sitting in the newly built wooden covered deck area. The shepherds hut is small but perfectly formed and it was lovely to be surrounded by the countryside full of birdsong.
- Jean, June 2021 -
Lois “What an amazing stay at the Orchard!”
!!! Would highly recommend, everything is thought of so many little details that you didn’t think you needed. Amazing location for us, very peaceful within the Cornwall hills but only a stones throw away from Wade bridge and Padstow. We watched the sunset every night from our hot tub. Peter the owner was very helpful and topped us up with wood when we needed it. AMAZING WEEK!!! Thank you!
- Lois, May 2021 -
Katherine “We had a lovely week.”
Property was clean and the owners were helpful, friendly, and supplied us with plenty of fire wood! Despite the weather we had a fab week away
- Katherine, October 2020 -
Kevin “From start to finish we had a lovely time, in the current climate (covid) we were in control, if we wanted to be away from everyone Orchard Hut was perfect and very private, if we wanted to go out then Wadebridge was a 5 minute drive away, further out was Padstow, Tintajel, Port Isaac and so much more, Mr Hodge the owner was very friendly and couldn't do enough, comforting to know he's only a phone call away should you have any questions, property was so clean and had everything you needed and more, well done to all concerned 11/10.”
- Kevin, September 2020 -
Keith “Great location.”
great hosts. beautiful accommodation.
- Keith, September 2020 -
Danielle “We stayed here for our honeymoon and we had such a lovely week.”
The Orchard has everything you needed, the kitchen was well stocked and everything was really clean! The owners couldn’t have been nicer, they were always happy to give directions and supply extra wood for the burner and hot tub! We hope to stay here again in the near future
- Danielle, August 2020 -
Julie “We spent a lovely week here and had a fabulous time.”
The hut is beautiful and so private. During the day we were out and about all over Cornwall and our evening's were spent relaxing in the hot tub with perfect peace and quiet. If you are looking for a couples retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life this is the ideal place. Thank you for a wonderful experience
- Julie, July 2020 -
Philip “Such a magical spot;having a hot tub whilst watching the stars was an utterly delicious experiences that even a force ten gale and torrential rain couldn’t detract from.”
The shower was a bit tricksy to get the temperature right but this a very minor issue and hugely outweighed by everything else that was so lovely and so right about the experience. Can also heartily recommend lunch at Prawn On The Lawn.
- Philip, March 2020 -
Kaley “We returned from a long weekend break last weekend at the Orchard, on arrival we was greeted by Peter who was friendly and very helpful and took us to our shepherds hut which was spotlessly clean, already warmed up with the log burner on ready for our arrival and the hot tub was ready to use too, there was a delicious home made cake and flowers in the cabin and bathrobes and towels with endless supply of logs, the bed was so comfy we had the best sleep there.”
our stay was on the weekend when the storm Dennis hit Cornwall but the hut stayed warm and cosy. we will be returning as we had such a lovely stay, its the perfect peaceful retreat. Thanks again to Mr and Mrs Hodges who are fabulous hosts
- Kaley, February 2020 -
Lorraine “We had the best time here.”
We were made to feel welcome and were looked after during the time of our stay by the very friendly owners. The little touches that Mr and Mrs Hodge put in place made it extra special. Log burner and wood fired hot tub lit and ready for our arrival and supply of logs, Tea, coffee, milk and biscuits very nicely presented for us to enjoy a cuppa, hot water bottles in the bed to warm the bed for us and fresh flowers on the table. We are definitely going back and are looking to book again for in 2020 and want to book for Christmas 2020. Amazing little Gem of a working Dairy Farm to have the pleasure of staying at. Would highly recommend
- Lorraine, November 2019 -
Lucy “Fantastic location, superb hosts, excellent cleanliness.”
10/10
- Lucy, September 2019 -
Elizabeth “Total relaxation!”
So peaceful, only the stars and the wind in the trees. Wood fired hot tub was great fun and the wood burner kept us cosy, so we were environmentally friendly and had fun! Everything you need in the shepherds hut and some thoughtful extra touches such as the binoculars. Bathroom has all you would expect and a proper hot shower, so no roughing it here.
- Elizabeth, September 2019 -
Dave “The host was really friendly, the location fantastic, peace and quiet, a lovely place to stay, the shepherds hut was exactly as described and shown, we will recommend it to everyone, well maybe not as we want to keep it to.”
Ourselves.
- Dave, August 2019 -
Jordan “Honestly 1000% more that we was expecting, cabin is really private, The owners are really friendly and helpful.”
My Mrs and Me are looking into booking another trip back soon.
- Jordan, August 2019 -
Trevor “It was the best weve had.”
Having travelled worldwide to many exotic places this was the best. The shepherds hut with hot tub was perfect. It was comfortable, peaceful, private and clean. We woke in the morning after a superb sleep, to see Deer, fox, barn owl and rabbits in the field next door. Wildlife was abundant with many birds coming for their feed. Each day we visited attractions that we found excellent, from Port Isaac to Lost Gardens of Heligan, Charlestown to Tintagel and Wheal Martyn Claypits to Padstow. Nothing dissapointed, but too much good food and cream Teas will have to be worked off over next few weeks. Overall an absolutely fantastic holiday, wish it had been two weeks now.
- Trevor, June 2019 -
Robert “Wonderful location and view.”
Perfect!
- Robert, June 2019 -
Keith “Great holiday.”
We stayed at the same place last year and really enjoyed it. We returned this year and it certainly didn't disappoint. Great location. Great hosts. If you want a nice relaxing break without the hustle and bustle of everyday life then try this. Would heartily recommend the local public houses.
- Keith, May 2019 -
Sarah “Beautiful shepherds hut in a lovely peaceful location.”
Spotlessly clean and friendly and welcoming owners. Hot tub was amazing. We loved our holiday.
- Sarah, April 2019 -
Michael “The directions to locate the location were poor.”
The hut was 60 meters from the parking area over a uneven field which was obviously previously a cattle pasture, prior notice of this would be useful ,a path closely mowed would be helpful. We enjoyed our stay and only mention the above to be helpful for future guests
- Michael, September 2018 -
Caroline “Enjoyed our stay at Orchard, lovely little quercky place, lovely views.”
- Caroline, September 2018 -
Adam “The owners were fantastically friendly , met us on arrival and provided us with everything we needed.”
The shepherds hut was exactly how it was described . The bed mattress was if good quality to ensure a good nights sleep . It was tastefully decorated with the soft furnishings. I will definitely return to Orchard @pengellyfarmhouse it was tranquil but close enough to Wadebridge for essentials and the Camel Trail. Absolutely loved our time there
