Wonderful break

Claudia and pepper were wonderful hosts. The cottage is welcoming and as a home from home feeling. The breakfast was delicious and this is one of the best breaks away that we've had. Would definitely return in the future.

Very comfortable beds and a wonderful breakfast served by our lovely hostess. A great stay

− The narrow country roads can be a little hair-raising when it's dark but not enough to put us off going back to Orchard Cottage.

A home away from home with the most amazing host

The highlight of our stay was definitely our host, Claudia. She is a truly wonderful woman who turns a stay into a drepy personal experience – we genuinely felt like we were visiting family. Every morning we woke up to the amazing smell of breakfast, as Claudia prepared generous portions of food made with love. As she says herself, the kitchen is her playground, and you can tell – she truly works magic with every meal. Each morning, we had long conversations with her. Claudia shared stories about her family, insights about the country, and gave us great tips on what to see and do in the area. One day, she even took the time to personally show us a hidden path into the nearby forest – such a special moment. The accommodation itself was also exceptional. Our room was incredibly cozy and had everything we needed – 100% comfort. We had access to a lovely front garden where we could sit and listen to the birds flying around like crazy. From our window, we had a view of a small park with ducks, and from the bathroom we could see the garden, full of birdsong and beautiful sunlight. In the evenings, we could relax in the bathtub and just enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. We also had some lovely moments with her dog Pepper, who made us feel at home and helped fill the void of missing our own dog back home. Thanks to Claudia, we even had the chance to join the local community for the celebration of the 80th anniversary of VE Day – an unforgettable experience.

− Honestly – nothing. Maybe just the fact that we only had one week to enjoy our holiday at Claudia’s place!

We really enjoyed our stay and the host couldn't have been more friendly.

The breakfast was excellent and couldn't be improved. The cottage was warm, comfortable and cosy. Lovely location. Friendly, helpful host.

− En suite bathroom in the process of being completed so no door! Lack of privacy. More hanging space in bedroom would be desirable.
