Spacious for its size, comfortable, clean and suitably maintained, well thought-out decor combines traditional and modern. The Visitors Book attests that the owners have been doing a good job of hospitality for years. Would happily stay again.

The owners were kind enough to accept members of my family (they had met before) in my place.They were very impressed and loved orchard cottage. My 18 month old great granddaughter especially loved the conservatory, the poppies and of course the cows at the end of the garden. Thank you so very much. We will be back. Carol
