In the summer months, take advantage of your secluded countryside setting and retreat outdoors to enjoy a seat on the decked veranda.
When sleep calls, you'll find the first of four bedrooms settled on the ground floor, fit with a single bed and an additional pull-out trundle bed, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for families, friends and children sharing, and benefiting from a shower room set across the way.
Ascending the stairs to the first floor, you'll find a further single bedroom, ideal for an intimate escape from the excitements, along with two double rooms, each traditionally decorated with a wooden, Scandinavian-style décor, and all sharing access to a family bathroom.
Lace up your walking boots and take a stroll through the rural countryside that envelops your holiday home, where you'll find a network of walking trails including Chimney Down Common.
Following a day of exploration, head to the local pub, The Staple Cross Inn, where you can indulge in a spot of traditional, homecooked fare served alongside a crisp pint of real ale, and if you're not ready for the fun to end when you return to Orchard Lodge, challenge your loved ones to a game of tennis at the on-site court.
Spend a fun-filled day visiting the nearby town of Tiverton, where you can tour the lavish grounds of Tiverton Castle, boasting a history dating back to the 12th century, take a horse-drawn barge trip along the peaceful canal, or test your swing with a game at Tiverton Golf Club.
With both the Quantock Hills and Exmoor National Park within easy reach,
and being equidistant between the North and South Coast,
you'll be spoilt for choice with outdoor adventures to be had, with miles of craggy cliffs, rolling hills, pristine sands and vast open moorland waiting to be discovered.
