We enjoyed a wonderful two weeks at Orchard Cottage. Clive and Kaeren are gracious hosts who went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I inquired about an ironing board and it arrived at the door less than 10 minutes later! The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed. Even though it was winter (and the weather wasn’t very cooperative) the property is lovely. I hope we will be able to return one summer to enjoy it in all its glory! If you’re still looking for a home away from home, stop looking - you’ve found it!!

Beautiful and tranquil

My husband and I have had a lovely short break in the cottage while I competed at the RDA National Championships held at Hartpury College which is only 2 miles away. The cottage is lovely and clean, comfortable beds, equipped with everything you need. Milk, tea, coffee and cake in the cottage when we arrived which was a nice touch. Seats outside your door or around the gardens where there’s a lovely pond and friendly ducks. Wish we’d found you when we first started coming down to Hartpury but definitely booking again.

Renew in this beautiful cottage

We really enjoyed our stay in this fully equipped, clean cottage in the spectacular countryside. Clive and Kaeren were wonderful hosts. They made us feel welcome before we even arrived. After a week in London this was a relaxing stay with opportunities to see so many beautiful attractions in the area: the Cotswolds, Symonds Yat, beaches near Bristol, all within an hours drive. I hope we can return someday.

Great holiday location and hosts

Fantastic hosts very welcoming. Great property spotlessly clean, everything you want for a great holiday. Gardens are immaculate and the seating areas are numerous. Ducks visit morning and night from the lake and the Clive feeds the bird feeders, so plenty to see from your door. There are numerous places to visit, like Newent birds of prey centre, Slimbridge WWT and Goodrich Castle. We wouldn't hesitate to book again

A beautiful garden in a pastoral setting

I had booked this cottage in order to see my family for a birthday celebration. It was perfect. A real home from home. Clive and Kaeren did all they could to make it a very special stay. The cottage had everything required and the beauty and tranquility of the garden set in surrounding fields was a joy. We would certainly return.

Clean and amazing garden

Covid secure property and hosts. One of 2 adjoining holiday cottages with a huge garden, duck pond and a little children's play area, tucked away. Cottage was clean and not fussy. Clive and Karen were great hosts; around if you need them or just want a chat. Clive can advise on good local cycling routes. Fully recommended, suitable for small children. The ducks are great!
