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.

SPLENDID !
Orchard Cottage is an amazing place to stay. It is situated on the slope of a hill, overlooking the valley of the Severn. The surroundings are an oasis of peace and quiet. The house itself is lovely, with every amenity you could wish for. Very well suited for families or the somewhat larger groups.

Fabulous
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.

About the host

Hosted by Gemma Carter

Host profile image
I live in England with my husband and son. We are beef farmers and live on the farm. We absolutely love where we live in Gloucestershire which is why my husband's family decided to renovate the cottage and make it a holiday home for others to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is half a mile from our house and the farm and had been a dream project for a very long time. The area is so beautiful and peaceful and a bit of a hidden gem as it is just outside the busyness of the main Cotswolds but with the enjoyment of the scenery. It is close to the M5 so within 20 minutes you can be on your way to a city but be back to the quiet countryside for the evening.

What makes this property unique

As we are 6 miles from the M5 we are a perfect position to base your holiday from. We have a train station 3 miles in the village which has many major routes travel through. You can be in Birmingham or Cardiff in 40 minutes. The cottage is located right on the doorstep (literally) of the Cotswold way which is perfect for walking and cycling.
