Reviews of Orchard Cottage
"The owners were very welcoming and informative and once they showed us how to use all the appliances gave us complete privacy. The hot tub was fantastic and there were amazing views of the valley when you were sitting in it. The location was brilliant and it was so quiet and peaceful while we stayed there."

"We had an amazing break away! The welcome we got was so friendly, the hot tub was everything we hoped! The whole cottage was to a high standard and had everything needed for a getaway! Very romantic! Just what we needed both being self employed with children it's the perfect kid free get away! Hoping to return for our honeymoon next year! Perfect thank you!"

"In a quiet location with off road parking. The cottage is very thoughtfully laid out and very comfortable with a plentiful supply of towels and a really nice wet room. There is a good hot tub and spacious decking area complete with comfy outdoor reclining chairs. The cottage was very clean and decorated nicely."

"A really lovely place to stay, it was quiet, secluded and very relaxing with lovely owners. There was good food at the local pub and lots to do in the surrounding areas. Orchard Cottage was beautiful and put together with great care and love to ensure guests have everything they could possibly need. The hot tub was a real treat and we were spoilt by having it for our own use. We will be coming back and recommending to friends and family."

"This was a lovely place to stay. We particularly liked that even though there was a cottage next door, also owned by the same people as this one, it was still all very private. At no point could we see them from anywhere in our cottage. Also loved the hot tub!"
