3.7/5

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.

Thank you Fiona for your review of Orchard Cottage. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the property to be in a picturesque location. The photographs within the property listing show the interior and are taken with a wide angled lens so would appear slightly larger however, the room measurements are noted in the floor plan and you can view each room on the 360 tour. We do not advertise the property as having air con as an amenity. The owners have booked some time for the property to under go some renovations in the Autumn. We do hope that you will be back to stay in the Cotswolds again soon!

5/5

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.

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!

The King's Arms is the most fantastic establishment to while away hours with a good book and a fantastic glass of wine or grab one of their takeaways and enjoy in your private garden
