We have just returned from a fantastic 3 night stay in Orchard Cottage. It is a gorgeous, quaint cottage located in the beautiful village of Broadway.
There were 3 of a travelling so the cottage was the perfect size. We had a rental car (parking close by at a charge of £4 per 24 hours) so spent the days exploring other villages throughout the Cotswolds and loved returning the cottage each night.
Cosy, clean, fully stocked with all basics.
The welcome wine and cake was a lovely added touch!

A great cottage but not great for tall
people the rooms upstairs doorways were just too low so quite a few bumps! Wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

Thank you Rebecca for your review of Orchard Cottage. We are delighted to hear that you found the property to be great. The property was built in the 18th Century and therefore does have traditional features such as steep stairs and low doorways which we do prewarn guests of in the finer details. We hope you will be back to stay in the Cotswolds again soon!

Cottage requires a lot of TLC and deep clean

Having booked 6x nights over the Christmas period, we left after 5. We decided that the cottage needs significant care and attention. It’s not a particularly nice environment combined with a most unrested stay.
It feels like it has been heavily rented and not well cared for.
The issues documented here are not due to the age of property, or it being a cute old cottage; they are due to heavy wear and tear and lack of care in the management of the property. Overly, we are disappointed with the standard of this property and the level of comfort, hence leaving early.

- the two chairs by the fire were extremely dirty. To the point which one needed laundering before we could sit on it. We cleaned this, so not sure why the management company couldn’t. It was very, very dirty.
- the latch on the main door from porch to sitting room was missing. Could not close the door unless an items was rested against it. This door needs to be closed to attempt to create a cosy atmosphere in the cottage. Otherwise looking to a storage cupboard.
- no latch, nor lock, on the bathroom and toilet door. Not able to either close, nor lock the door
- mattress in master bedroom extremely hard and uncomfortable. Mattress in second bedroom slightly better, but overall quality low, leading to sleepless nights.
- duvet in master too small for bed.
- dining table in kitchen far too big. Cannot do anything but face the wall while eating and not possible to move into a better position. Sofa in kitchen highly impractical and adds to issues with dining space
- no complete sets of glassware, crockery and cutlery. Felt like a student house with all mis-matched items and random pieces
- garden and terrace area covered with cigarette butts. Garden furniture not laid out to look inviting at all
- paintwork in sitting area heavily chipped with large patches showing and everything very, very tatty
- TV was possibly the oldest sub standard smart TV, with wires hanging down which need to be tided away. it was a total mess.
- Old CD player system in the kitchen. Felt like old rubbish items from someone’s house had been placed in this cottage. No one wants things like this.

A large amount of TLC is needed on this property and would make guests feel comfortable and relaxed. This property should not be charged at this rate for the standard of the accommodation and furnishings. It is significantly below standard.
Please note - we did not raise these issues with the property manager. We had no intention of ruining their Christmas, and we doubt there would be much they would be able to do over the Christmas period.
Very disappointed.

Really cute cottage and had a lovely stay. Very safe and secure for dogs. Needs a little bit of TLC as most door catches broken, dishwasher falling apart, and just few small details. It is very small but fine for three of us as one was a child, would think too small for 4 adults. Fantastic location for high street and nice touch with wine, milk and cake left for us.

My 2 daughters and I were excited about this cottage for a week's visit. The backyard looks NOTHING like the picture. It is overgrown and the clothes line is hanging off the roof. The unit was not clean. Fingernail clippings on the floor in a bedroom - gross!! We needed to call for burned out lightbulbs and asked them to come clean. It never happened. We did get light bulbs. The biggest disgust was the spiders everywhere. The location is great but the owners need to do lots of TLC to bring it to the price we paid. I could not in good conscience recommend this place to anyone.

Thank you Barbara for your recent review of Orchard Cottage. We are very sorry to read that you were disappointed with the cottage. We would like to thank you for your feedback which we have passed onto the property owner. He has spoken to the property manager who did visit the cottage three times during your stay to assist you. The overgrown garden has now been addressed. Spiders are found in old period character properties, and as soon as they are removed they will reappear. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Cotswolds soon.

Had a lovely time!

Lovely, cosy cottage, perfect location, parking very convenient, really enjoyed our stay.

Only negatives were that surfaces in the kitchen were a bit sticky and the bathroom door didn’t latch closed - minor issues though and they did not detract.

The cottage is a super cute place to stay, Broadway is lovely and you can tell that a lot of effort went into the initial design of the cottage and into trying to make visitors feel welcome. However, when we visited (July 2023) a couple of features were in need of a bit of maintenance (dishwasher trays were wobbly, kitchen equipment was old-ish and cutlery a very random mix, clothes line reel nearly falling off its fixing on the wall, garden a bit unkept). None of them a big deal in themselves and none really disturbed our holiday but taken together they left us feeling the condition of the property was a bit below the standard you might have expected from the pictures.

This property is faultless. Perfect location for a base if you want to do some explore the surrounding area. It’s only a 10 minute walk into Broadway so ideal for eating/drinking and a little shopping.

A fantastic long weekend in Broadway, the cottage was perfect everything we could of asked for was at hand. A beautify cottage which felt even more cosy as the weather wasn't kind. Just a short stroll from Broadway high street with all of its charm, super local shops, restaurants and pubs. We would certainly recommend and return.
