Perfect Getaway
Orchard Cottage is the best equipped holiday home I have ever stayed in. Our two year old had a blast with the toy chest and in the garden. Anything we could have thought to need for her was available. The house is also beautiful, with gorgeous scenery, and well located for venturing out to various highlights in the region. I would highly recommend Orchard Cottage. We loved our stay.

Family Christmas
Fantastic property, spacious warm and clean everything we needed for a family Christmas getaway, Gemma the owner even went to the lengths of providing a Christmas tree and decorations for the children to decorate it with. A brilliant property and good local pub just down the road. The children even had their own little snug/ lounge, spacious well equipped kitchen and great views.

Good location, fabulous views, quiet, everything we needed for a great family get together to celebrate my husbands 60th Birthday. Pub & good food within walking distance. Gemma was happy to agree to us hiring a private chef for one night - best thing ever!! & no cleaning up after. Very comfortable accommodation & good selection of toys for the little ones. Highly recommend.

Exceeded expectations
My wife and I and another older couple from Virginia spent a week at the Orchard Cottage in early March 2023. The cottage exceeded all our expectations. It was beautiful, beautifully appointed, and had beautiful views of the countryside. The large kitchen/dining area and large den, with a sitting room in the back, the 4 bathrooms -- perfect for 4 introverts looking to spread out! Gemma was very responsive. We loved being remote but within walking distance of the small town of Coaley. The master bath was very high-end and luxurious. We had trouble getting the scheduled heat settings adjusted to our liking, but apart from that, everything went perfectly. I highly recommend the cottage. We hope to return.

6 adults & 6 children
Amazing stay for 3 couples and our brood. Five of the 6 children were 2 and under. The place was perfect for our group size. Unfortunately the dishwasher broke before our arrival and one of the travel cots has broken and wasn’t replaced yet, however we knew this in advance so brought our own travel cots. Lots of lots to accommodate for the children, high chairs, toys galore, even a monitor. Would highly recommended and would definitely go back if we were to stay in that area again. Gemma also told us about a local farm which was perfect for us all to go out for the day.

Great family weekend
We stayed at Orchard Cottage for three nights over a very hot weekend in August. Four good sized bedrooms, plus an extra on the ground floor if needed meant plenty of room for 8 adults and 2 children. We spent most of our time sat on the back porch enjoying the quietness of the English countryside, but also took a couple of walks to the local pubs for great pub lunches The Rose and Crown in Nympsfield is a bit of a tough walk straigh up the hill. The Old Fox in Coaley is a much easier stroll. But both places served great food with very friendly staff Overall the house was perfect for us and is a great place for a relaxing family weekend
