I thought I would enter a few dive organisations, & information site, as I'm a rescue diver myself. Cornwall is a beautiful place to dive, if you have a dry suit; it’s a bit cold for me nowadays, I would rather be in Andaman Sea off Thailand where the temperature of the water is 29 degrees at 30 metres deep, thats what I call heaven.

Visitors comments
These are a few comments and e-mails we've had from people staying at Orchard Manor.
Ernie from, Stoke-on-Trent, Home from home must come again.
Margaret and Tim, Lovely room, food and proprietor.
Scott Sue, Lovely views and room, great food.
Bob and Sue Jackson, Quiet, clean, comfortable, lovely.
Steve and Isabel, Excellent 2 night stopover.
Sandra and Pete Hall, Very nice, B&B, good food, enjoyable.
Amy Mason and James Hall, Lovely really enjoyed our stay will come back!!.
The Betwines and McDonald's, Cambridge and Somerset, Wonderful B&B, lovely setting to start our journey to John O'Groats.
"Where can you stay in Cornwall for a B&B with two grown up children in tow, when the Eden Project is high on your agenda for a must-do visit? At five days' notice we booked in to Nigel Orchard's gallery apartment for five days, and were overwhelmed by the welcome and attention given to us, and the modern, state-of-the art, apartment which we enjoyed. Probus is easy to find between St Austell & Truro, and is convenient for all of Cornwall's attractions. The country views from the apartment were pleasant, and the walks around Probus easy to find. The local Inn, Indian Restaurant and Fish & Chip shop catered for us superbly for four of our evening meals. Our only criticism was that the internet router had a weak variable signal, which didn't prevent contact with the outside world for long. So just follow those directions into Probus, and enjoy your stay." We will recommend it to our friends too. Yours sincerely Michael Carter
Orchard Manor was a lovely surprise for me. It has the most wonderful rural views and is so quiet and peaceful. This I have to say was a real selling point for me as I am on the road selling as a rep and to get out of the hustle and bustle of traffic towns and cities, was a real treat. The service was outstanding, the rooms clean, bathrooms very modern and the breakfast was brilliant. Fabulous chef!
Cheers, Ange
Absolutely top accomodation, lovely food & owner.
Ian & Glenice Mc Leod
I have also some links below for other B&B establishments, who we advertise with. Well I hope you have enjoyed my website and all the links they are very handy and hopefully it will save you some time and Cash while you're on holiday in Cornwall.
Kind regards, Nigel
