Orchard View Cottage Reviews

Tommy
What a fantastic long weekend! From the moment we booked, we knew it would be special. The location feels wonderfully remote, yet it's still close enough to civilisation. The facilities are spot-on - the hot tub and BBQ kept us entertained and relaxed. Plus, it's very dog and family friendly, which was perfect for us. The team was so welcoming too, making everything even better. We're already planning to return, maybe for Christmas or summer - it'd be unreal!
Alexandra
We loved the peaceful rural setting and the stunning views. The place had everything we needed, making it a perfect base for exploring local towns or enjoying walks. Just a heads-up about the narrow lane, especially when it's wet. Overall, a lovely retreat!
Emily
This cottage is absolutely fantastic! The rural location gives you superb views that make having breakfast at either the dining table or the patio simply breathtaking, reminding us of nature's beauty. The great tub is in an ideal spot to enjoy the wonderous sky if you're lucky. It was clean, tidyand well equipped for both sunny and rainy days!
Emma
We had a lovely stay with our dog at Field Cottage; it really is a perfect get away. The cottage was warm, comfortable, well equipped and the views were stunning. The hamper was such a treat too! We enjoyed the sunrise in the mornings and kept an eye out for shooting stars in the evenings from the hot tub! It's a great base for exploring.
