Very cosy, with a lovely garden and in a good spot to explore the Lakes and also the Yorkshire Dales.
Patricia
Comfortable, and everything you could ask for, and more. Treats left for myself, and my dog. Will definitely go back.
Andy
We didnât know what to expect from the cottage because we have not stayed in a cottage before. Orchard cottage was better than expected and is a credit to the owners. Although Bill and Sue live next door, they didnât disturb us in any way, we felt in comfort and relaxed. We would love to stay again when possible.
