A comfortable home away from home

Very relaxing and comfortable little cottage with lovely views over the gardens. Great location. Home comforts, warm and cozy. Had the best nights sleep out of all of our UK stays. Robin the host was very obliging, and the property team of Rob and Charlie were a pleasure to chat with. They made us feel very welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in such a lovely setting on the property.

Our second stay at Orchard Cottage.

Orchard Cottage was as clean, comfortable and warm as we remembered from our first stay. Both visits were a cold week in January. Although you are told there may be noise from the horses, they are very quiet and did not disturb us at all.

Weekend break in the Cotswolds

The cottage is set in the tranquil grounds of a large house. With lovely gardens and stables all around. It was perfect for our trip to Westonbirt Arboretum and surrounding villages. Very relaxing stay.

Orchard Cottage is a beautifully presented, modern, spacious stable conversion on the edge of the Cotswolds, set in the grounds of a small cluster of houses at one end of the village. The property has super convenient parking immediately outside, a comfortable living room, fully equipped kitchen and very large bedroom with adjoining bathroom. On our visit, the property was immaculately presented and spotlessly clean throughout. Although we didn't do any cooking on site, the kitchen is extremely well stocked, and the large fridge with ice box was appreciated. The location is extremely quite, and accessing the property was extremely easy. The property is extremely good value and I'd highly recommend it to anyone (single or couple) looking for a quiet, secluded spot for a memorable getaway.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location. A small but perfectly formed cottage in a quiet setting so quiet we could hear the owls at night.

Lovely Stay!

Orchard Cottage was a very lovely place which was clean and had everything we needed. It was also comfortable and cozy. It had an excellent location for us to visit everything in the Cotswolds that we wanted to. It was also exceptionally quiet overall!

Lovely cottage

The location of the cottage is great if you like horses and peace and quiet, in the local area you have several small towns where you can buy the things you need.

Cosy cottage in quiet surroundings

Orchard cottage was lovely and had a very cosy homely feel to it. The area is very quiet perfect for getting away from city living. There are a number of areas nearby to visit within a half hour drive or less so plenty to do and see. The King's Arms is a lovely pub to go have a drink at or have some food and only a short walk away.

Perfect village retreat

This charming and clean cottage is surrounded by beautiful gardens. Easy access to walking paths and short drives to Cotswold villages and more walking. It was just what I needed to enjoy the gorgeous area and recharge. Highly recommend.

Lovely stay at Orchard Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Orchard Cottage. It was well equipped and perfectly located for our planned visits to Highgrove and Westonbirt Arboretum. Beautiful location and good weather meant we could enjoy breakfast on the patio. The jug of milk in the fridge on arrival was much appreciated, thank you. We ate at The Kings Arms one evening which is highly recommended and just a short stroll from Orchard Cottage. Overall, a super comfy stay and two great night's sleep!

Long Weekend Break

Great location about 25 mins from Bath and some beautiful scenery. Plenty of National Trust places nearby. Only (minor) faults with the property were lack of an oven glove and no fan in bathroom meant some steaming up.

Excellent in every way.

Excellent base for our spring tour around Highgrove and subsequent walks around the beautiful surrounding countryside right from the front door. Really inviting from the moment we drove up the daffodil lined drive. The inside was tastefully decorated, neat and tidy with everything needed for a short break. Highly recommended.

Weekend at Orchard Cottage

An absolutely beautiful place in an idyllic location (quiet and away from everyone). Orchard Cottage is perfect for two people and ideal for those who find stairs difficult . I could quite happily live in Orchard Cottage . The only advise we could think of is, some people might not be used to an enamel bath (bit slippery when wet) so maybe purchasing a non slip shower mat would be ideal!

Perfect last minute break

This was a last minute booking that was handled with ease. The cottage was next to a stable for horses, which were a sight to see! Definitely no issues with disturbances from them. And the garden view was beautiful, best in the summer time I suppose where you can relax and soak in the view. They had a good heating system where it didn't take long for us to feel toasty indoors. Overall, it was a perfect cottage that had all the amenities we needed.

6/10 Okay

Not what we expected

Unfortunately I can't recommend this particular cottage . After reading some of the other reviews before booking they were quite mixed & I now understand why. The accommodation & decor is a bit tired looking & certainly not spotlessly clean . Also, the 'wide angle' photos give the impression of a much more spacious cottage & outdoor area but in reality that isn't the case. This is also described as a perfect accommodation for horse lovers which is one of the main reasons that we booked this particular cottage. On arrival there wasn't a horse in sight & we found out they were in a field across the main road so we couldn't even enjoy watching them grazing as we tried to relax in the little garden area. What we did get however was hundreds of crows in the trees directly above the accomodation. The noise was unbearable & being awoken at 4 in the morning with dozens of birds running across the roof was the deciding factor in us vacating two days early. I can appreciate that some of these aspects are totally out of the owners control & the service & communication from Stay Cotwsolds was very good but overall we were left disappointed.

Lovely cottage

Orchard cottage was very clean, cosy and in a lovely location. This cottage is the ideal getaway, the garden and views whilst sitting relaxing after a days exploring the Cotswolds, was absolutely perfect. The cottages facilities for cooking ensured after a long day we didn't have to venture out for food and the recent refurbishment meant our stay was relaxing. There was also the added bonus of beautiful gardens to view and horses, both in the fields adjacent to the cottage and stable yard, perfect for horse lovers. The information given prior to arrival ensured we arrived without any problems and easy access to the cottage. I would definitely recommend a visit, the cottages proximity to lots of Cotswold attractions definitely is a bonus. We hope to return in the near future.

Peaceful, relaxing and convenient cottage close to Westonbirt Arboretum

The cottage was as described and was very clean and tidy. The bed was extremely comfortable with lovely cotton sheets, everything in the bathroom was spotlessly clean and functioned well. The parking space was adjacent to the cottage and a small outdoor seating area provided an opportunity to relax and enjoy the peaceful garden surroundings of the neighbouring large house. The kitchen area was very compact but well equipped - we cooked a meal most evenings except when we strolled down to the local friendly pub. The housekeeper was very helpful when we rang her for further details on locating the exact position of the cottage and the owner and gardener were both very friendly. The location was perfect as my husband was attending a course at nearby Westonbirt Arboretum. Malmesbury, Tetbury. Westonbirt and Miserden Gardens are all worth visiting. We would stay again.

Orchard Cottage Didmarton

This cottage is very tired and in need of complete redecoration. The curtains and paintings were mouldy and there were cobwebs in the sitting room and bedroom. The oven was very dirty and the grill pan, roasting tin and cooking utensils were old and dirty. The freezer needed de-icing and the lower shelf in the fridge door was broken on one side making it impossible to use the shelf. Low water pressure in the bathroom made having a shower difficult and a bath impossible. Much was made in description about the noise from the stables during the hunting season but no mention at all about the road noise even though there is a very busy road only 20m from the property. The windows are single glazed and there is no sound proofing. The location of the property was incorrect on StayCotsold's map.

Our first holiday as a 3

The location of the cottage was picturesque and the horses are beautiful. Our first family holiday as a 3 with our 1yr old. First arrival to the cottage inside is very undated, had an old stuffy smell to the place and had cobwebs in the wardrobe's, the tv is very slow, there was also mould on the inside of the curtains in the bedroom and its smaller than advertised on the website. The bed it’s self was uncomfortable as the temperature was 24 degrees there was no A/C or anything provided to cool the place down. Met the owner of the cottage on second day he was very polite. All together the holiday it’s self was lovely great weather, great location apart from what was mentioned we did have a lovely holiday.
