Guests say
Orchard Bank Cottage is a well-regarded holiday rental, praised for its friendly hosts, comfortable amenities, and convenient location close to the Forest of Dean. Guests appreciate the secure parking, hot tub, and the pet-friendly environment. While some mention traffic noise and intermittent Wi-Fi, these are minor compared to the overall positive experience.
The cottage is consistently described as clean, with no negative comments on cleanliness, indicating high standards are maintained.
The location is generally praised for its proximity to local attractions, though some guests note traffic noise. The balance of positive location attributes against the noise results in a good but not excellent score.
Comfort is highlighted with mentions of a comfortable bed and cozy atmosphere. The presence of traffic noise is a minor detractor for some guests.
Facilities like Wi-Fi, Freesat TV, Netflix, and Amazon Prime are appreciated, though Wi-Fi issues are noted. The hot tub is a standout feature, despite the additional cost.
While guests mention thoughtful touches like a Christmas tree and lights, there is not enough consistent information about gifts or additional thoughtful gestures to provide a score. It should be noted that such extras are subject to change and not guaranteed.

Orchard cottage makes a great base for visiting the forest of Dean and Wye Valley area. The cottage is basic but has everything you need for your stay including a hot tub, which can be used for an additional charge. The only downside is that the cottage is on a main road and there is traffic 24 hours a day, so if you are a light sleeper, take ear plugs

We had a lovely stay at Orchard Bank Cottage. It is well positioned for seeing the local area, close to Gloucester and Ross on Wye. The cottage has everything you need and the owner was very helpful. The property is very reasonably priced and its great that it is available for short stays of a few days. We really enjoyed it.
