This is the second time I've stayed here. It's a very charming, old house with tastefully decorated, comfortable rooms. The continental breakfast is very good and served in a cute and cozy dining room. The bed was a bit hard for me, but I'm pretty picky. Just a few minutes drive to the outlet stores and restaurants in town, but far enough away that it's nice and quiet.

Perfect stay!

Lovely b&b in an old farmhouse. Floors a bit noisy creaking, so light sleepers may have a hard time. Perfect location for a solo trip to visit family. The continental breakfast provided was great! Will stay again the next time I’m in Freeport.

Comfortable stay

We enjoyed our stay. The property was nicely appointed, the bed was very comfortable, and the breakfast was tasty. Our room was quite small for 2 people, and the bathroom didn’t have counter space for toiletries.

I had a lovely, one-night stay at the Orchard House. The owner is very friendly and the inn is adorable - beautiful old house with cozy, updated, country-chic decor. Quiet and peaceful with extra comfy bed, delicious breakfast, and convenient to downtown Freeport. It was clean and fresh throughout, but the bathroom could have used a deep cleaning.

Orchard House was very calm, relaxing, clean, and cozy; however, I would not consider it a typical bed and breakfast in a sense that there isn’t a home-cooked breakfast in the morning. They do provide granola and boiled eggs and a very small table with four seat seats, but it’s clear that most people including us go out to eat breakfast which isn’t necessarily a bad thing as there is plenty to do in the area just not what I’m typically used to.
