Orchard Cottage is an immaculate, contemporary, detached cottage in the quiet Cotswold village of Alderton, where there’s a village pub, a small village shop and walks in all directions. The cottage is beautifully decorated with splashes of pleasing and reviving colours. It sleeps six guests in three bedrooms and is full of character, with great entertaining space in the spacious kitchen, living room and separate dining room. French windows open to a suntrap patio, with seating and a barbecue, leading to a long and secluded garden laid to lawn that’s perfect for children and dogs to run around. The cottage is in the ideal location to explore Winchcombe, Cheltenham, Broadway, the Slaughters and Stow-on-the-Wold - without the crowds of visitors.

A beautiful place to stay!

Orchard Cottage is gorgeously furnished and equipped with everything you could need for a home from home stay. Beautifully clean and very comfortable, it’s in a very scenic spot overlooking a church. The cottage is tastefully decorated with lots of extras that make it such a homely & comfortable place to stay. It’s in a good location with walks in the immediate area and great access to all the most popular Cotswolds attractions. We had a wonderful pre-Christmas break at Orchard Cottage. Thank you.

Really wonderful house, with plenty of living space and 3 spacious bedrooms. It was spotlessly clean and had everything you could ever need for a trip away. There was plenty of off road parking space and its located on a very quiet lane in a lovely little village. There's a good pub serving food within 5 minutes walk and a village shop too.
Would highly recommend this property. We will definitely book again.

Orchard cottage has to be one of the nicest places we’ve stayed at. Beautiful smell of cleanliness when we arrived. Deceptively spacious cottage. 6 adults and a baby and we never felt on top of each other. Very well equipped, everything you’d need, home from home. Spacious secure garden for the dogs, very comfortable furnishings, both downstairs and beds. The owners are very responsive, and sent a lovely text on the day of arrival to say we could check in early as they had completed their cleaning. Location is very central for Winchcombe, beautiful little village, Bourton on the water, Stow on the Wold to name but a few. We will definitely be back.
Thank you for having us in your beautiful home.

We had a great week at Orchard Cottage. Lovely little village with a great pub and dog friendly too. Very pretty little church opposite. The cottage was beautifully presented, very clean, super comfy beds and had everything we needed. We hope to return for another stay. Recommend the Gardeners Arms in the village and the Royal Oak in Gretton.

We have recently returned from a 4 night break at this cottage and cannot recommend highly enough. It is very quiet, immaculately looked after and very close to local walks and a short (safe!) walk to the local pub that is dog friendly and provides discount for guests. This really is first class accommodation.

Our first time in the Cotswolds and Orchard Cottage ticked all the boxes. Great location to explore the surrounding area, well equipped house and a 10 min walk to the pub which was lovely too. Idyllic, peaceful setting right beside the church - we loved hearing the bells chime daily and we're treated to bell ringing practice mid week from the garden.

What an amazing cottage, we couldn’t have asked for more! Everything was spot on from the wonderful kitchen (even supplying spices and herbs) to the outside hose for washing the dogs after lovely long walks in the area.
Would absolutely recommend this beautiful home to anyone planning to visit this part of the country - just amazing!
Thank you to the owners for letting us enjoy your wonderful property.

Orchard cottage is a home from home. There are some lovely walks in and around Alderton. However for things to do other than walking, you need to travel a bit further afield. Throught our stay, the church opposite had bells ringing over night.

We had a Lovely weekend stay at Orchard Cottage. The property was spotlessly clean and so well equipped. The layout was superb and the enclosed garden was great for our dog to roam in safety. The local pub (Gardeners Arms) was very welcoming with great food. I would thoroughly recommend the property and would stay again.

We have recently stayed at Orchard cottage, a family of five adults and two dogs. There was plenty of room for everyone in this beautiful cottage. The cottage provided everything we needed, from comfortable beds, luxurious bedding and an extremely well fitted kitchen. We used the local pub for a Sunday roast takeaway, it was delicious. We would have no hesitation in returning to Orchard cottage if we were looking to stay in this area again.

A beautiful cottage in a really convenient location, we have loved our weekend away with family. The only thing I could find fault with is the pillows in the room next to the family bathroom are quite flat and lumpy but apart from that, pretty much faultless. Lovely and clean, cosy but spacious and really comfy beds. Perfect, we will 100% be back, thank you :)

Myself and 3 girlfriends enjoyed a two night stay in this beautiful house, just wished we had booked for longer as it’s a perfect location to explore the Cotswolds. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need, the kitchen is to die for. I’d move in tomorrow given the chance. Our only criticism, and it’s only a small one, is the lack of soft lighting in the lounge. With only one lamp at the far end of the room, we found it too dark and sitting with the main lights on too bright. We would highly recommend staying here and wouldn’t hesitate in booking again.

First impressions WOW, it’s beautiful. The whole cottage was spotless, literally home from home.
The design colours in each room were lovely a real lot of thought has gone into each room.
It turned into a nasty wet afternoon, evening and the log burner brightened it up.
Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend with family in such a wonderful cottage, we will be back.

Orchard Cottage ticks all the boxes! It had all that we needed and more. Spotlessly clean, excellently and thoughtfully equipped and with generous sized bath towels. The location is perfect with pretty outlook over the lovely church and churchyard. Good parking space and an easy walk to the village shop which had everything we required and a good local pub as well. Charming neighbours too! We shall be back.

Hidden away in a pretty, rose filled village is Orchard Cottage. Opposite a lovely Saxon church, the cottage is a gem. It looks great in the photos but is even better in real life. Beautifully styled yet extremely practical, Orchard Cottage was the perfect spot for a family birthday celebration. Pub for the grown ups and play park for our toddling granddaughter. All the baby equipment was really useful and key decider on choosing this cottage.
A lovely sun filled patio and garden to laze about in. Peaceful and quiet....though close enough to little towns too for exploring, eating or shopping.
We can't fault it and hope to go back again.

We stayed at Orchard Cottage recently and even though we didn't get to enjoy the weekend & house how we should have - we had a hospital emergency - I would 100% recommend this to anyone for a weekend away. The house was perfect, lots of space and had everything you needed. The location was great and easy to get to anywhere in The Cotswolds. Also, the host could not have been more kind/ caring when finding out about our emergency, they even offered a room in their own house when we had to check out which was just so lovely and meant a lot.

Recently enjoyed a lovely 2 night stay here with friends. We had a dog and infant with us so, can attest that it is friendly and accommodating to both!

The whole cottage is wonderful: the living room is a fantastic size and retains its cosiness whilst being large enough to be comfortable; the kitchen was well equipped with everything needed when cooking to entertain: the stocked spice rack was a lovely, extra touch; all the bedrooms were comfortable and beautifully decorated. The whole cottage has a lovely finish and feels very thoughtfully done - even down to the automatic bathroom light for an easy night-time visit!

There are some lovely walks immediately from the cottage - these were a real hit with Albus the Dachshund! Although we didn’t need them, it was also really welcoming to see the dog essentials in the utility cupboard too. So useful and welcoming if we had been caught out. The garden is a fantastic size. Wet weather prevented us really using it but, lots of space for dogs and children to run around. I’m sure the patio area is wonderful in Summer.

Overall, we had a really lovely stay. The ample parking makes it great for a group to stay - with dogs and children being allowed means it’s so versatile. Whilst still at the cottage, we were discussing dates we could return in 2023!

This is an excellent rental property if you are looking to visit north Cotswolds.
Located down a dead end lane opposite the beautiful C14th gothic church and in a quite village with occasional local shop and village pub.

Walking from the doorstep and a large secure garden attracted us to the property, as we have a dog and enjoy regular walks.

This is the cleanest and best appointed cottage we have stayed in, and seems to be newly decorated as there are no scuffs or marks on the paintwork. We lived in the kitchen when in as it has all you need to cook eat and enjoy family company.

We would definitely come back again as a family of 4 with children (14&16) and dog.

We expected a lot from the photographs and description and we weren’t disappointed. The cottage was immaculate very well equipped, massive garden and in a fabulous location with a pub in the village. I can’t speak highly enough about this place it is exactly as advertised, if your looking for a staycation book this cottage you will not be disappointed, the owners should be very proud.

Absolutely perfect! Orchard Cottage was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and utterly charming. We could not fault it at all! The visitor guide was extremely informative with excellent recommendations for local pubs/ attractions. We would highly recommend Orchard Cottage and would return in a flash!
