A beautiful countryside getaway

My partner and I booked a weekend getaway from the city, and our cottage was perfect in every way we could have hoped for. The location was ideal, and the interiors were both beautiful and exceptionally comfortable, reflecting the high quality of the property. While we did encounter a couple of small issues, the customer service team was friendly, attentive, and resolved everything quickly. Overall, it was a truly wonderful experience, and we look forward to booking with Stay Cotswold again!

Fantastic little cottage.

Booked very last minute and very glad we did. Perfect little home away from home. Lovely and clean, light and airy and very comfortable bed. High quality furnishings throughout, although it would be good if the fold down table could be folded up! to give a bit more space. Everything else you could need for a short break and we hope to be back.

An ideal country retreat

Central to south Gloucester, withing easy traveling distance to all the places we wanted to visit. the cottage itself was set in the well manicured land adjacent to the owners quintessential Cotswolds house, tended by Charlie and Rob the friendly gardeners who took time to talk to us about the area. my wife even had a quick demonstration of the farrier who was changing the horseshoes of one on the horses that occupied the stables next door. alltogether a memorable week

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.

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.

The cottage was very good for our few days getaway, in a lovely location and the neighbours were very friendly and helpful when looking for somewhere to eat. It has a spacious lounge and bedroom, excellent bathroom. the kitchen was very good but a we bit small. This would be a lovely cottage with a bit more attention to detail. The entrance door is draughty and the lock unpredictable, The edge was taken off the stay by the uncomfortable sofa and the unstable chairs. It would have been nice to have sat outside for a drink but the garden furniture was old and dirty.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
