TESTIMONIALS: "Everyone loved the Orchards to stay and the lunch and especially the breakfast were just very well done --- and the bar downstairs at lunch a special bonus!" August 2011 "The Orchards is a beautiful, elegant hotel. The room was very spacious and comfortable. It may have been almost twice the size of a Marriott room. The bathroom area was also very large, clean and top notch. A very nice girl came to serve us chocolate chip cookies at about 6:00pm which was wonderful" TripAdvisor August 2011 "Congratulations on maintaining and operating a very nice spot in Williamstown" July 2011 "Beautiful, relaxing, very comfortable beds" July 2011 |
