The hotel is located pretty central. Right on the opposite side is a big shopping-mall car park, where you can park relatively cheap. Other pay and display car parks are within 5mins of walking. The high street with many different smaller and bigger shops is within 3 mins walking distance. The room was of adequate size for two people with a small fridge. Next to the wall-mounted TV were 2 build in shelves.
The ensuite bathroom had a toilet with a bidet attachment as well as a walk in shower. The best part of staying at the orchard was the bar in the ground floor. The staff was very nice and competent. The cocktails very very tasty and we were able to order cocktails that weren't on the menu. Overall was it a very pleasant experience.

Food was fairly good, bar staff were decent however excluding one who floated around the place in a daze. Guys were busy making drinks orders for tables and were being put under further pressure to assist bar custom due to this colleague drifting around appearing to do very little unless they absolutely had too. Eventually they did serve at bar but only after queue of frustrated customers waited for significant time. We'd have given 4 stars had it not been for this one staff member sadly.
