  Excellent cottage.

  The best one we have stayed in. Lots of extras, in fact Debbie & Tim had worked relentlessly to ensure everything was on hand. Lovely hamper to welcome us, fresh eggs from their own chickens, bread, butter, jam, biscuits, prosecco, squash, milk, chocolates etc. Tea, coffee, sugar, dried herbs, olive oil already in the well stocked kitchen. Everything was on hand, we didn't want for anything. The local pub was 5 mins walk away & we had excellent meals there, & they were very dog friendly too. The cottage itself was very warm with new electric CH & a great wood burner. Tv was a Sky Glass in the lounge & a normal Tv in the kitchen. Both bedrooms were of equal size & the beds were very comfortable. The weather was not good. Storm Bert hit us but we were fine, despite some flooded roads. We still managed to visit local towns & villages. Corston has a Recreation Ground a short walk away & we walked our dog there each day. The cottage came with substantial grounds ( a firepit & children's play equipment) & a large mown field. Ideal for dog walking around late at night because it was illuminated with a mix of solar & sensor lights. The owners had their own chickens & ducks, & fed the birds each day, so there was plenty of wildlife to watch. Hedgehogs were rampant at night time. Apparently one night 8 individuals were sighted! I highly recommend Orchard cottage.

  Thank you so much to Debbie and Tim for accommodating us in their beautiful cottage.

  The cottage was so clean throughout, had all the essentials that we needed and more, even down to the smallest of details that you would never think about! All rooms were very spacious and comfortable, it really did feel like we were at home. We spent the majority of our time with the ducks and chickens as our daughter loved them, having cuddles with them every day, collecting eggs every morning and having them for our breakfast/dinner. The garden area is huge! Again has everything you need from loungers, to garden games, to a bbq and a fire pit. We would be there for hours just enjoying some family time. The pictures really do not do this property any justice, it is so much better in person, better than we ever expected! Now on to the hosts, they are the friendliest people we have ever met. So easy to talk to, nothing was too much to ask for, loved being in their company and listening to their stories about the animals and learning all their names (Bitsy and Ash the chickens were a fond favourite). We were so sad to leave, but will 100% be coming back next year. Thank you so so much for making our little family holiday so amazing, we look forward to seeing you all again soon ❤️

  The cottage was the perfect location and accommodation for the two of us and our large dog.

  Fully kitted out kitchen, small bathroom (shower only), king size bed, two seater sofa etc. Very quiet location in the middle of farmed fields on the same site as the hosts home, but also a mile or two drive to a small convenience shop and a couple of pubs which do food too. Hosts incredibly friendly, and helpful with suggestions of places to go in the area. The hosts permit the use of the enclosed field opposite the front door to be used for dogs needing the toilet -supervised and cleared up of course- provided their animals (goats/ducks/chickens) are not roaming/ grazing in it. NB. This is where our dog discovered he could run and jump over 4.5ft high dry stone walls!!!! Amazingly (for such a rural area) excellent 3G connection too! Would not hesitate to stay here again.

  We loved our stay at Orchard House Cottage.

  Our collie particularly enjoyed the large paddock area where he could play ball. The cottage is immaculately clean and every facility has been catered for down to dog treats and bowls with a lovely welcome pack for us, The hosts are friendly and extremely generous with their fresh hen and duck eggs which are the best we have ever eaten. We struggled to find dog walks without getting in the car but we had some lovely walks on our trips out. Malmesbury is a nice town with an Aldi and Waitrose for supplies and some independent shops. Thank to Debbie and Tim. You are great hosts.

  This accomodation was extremely comfortable which was very important as we stayed for a month, really home from home with everything to hand you could ever need.

  It was really warm and cosy and the views of the surrounding countryside are superb. The hosts Thelma and Keith are a lovely couple and nothing was too much trouble. The fixtures and fittings and linens were all of the best quality and the kitchen was stocked with all the necessary utensils and appliances so a longer stay was easy to manage. My little Yorkshire terrier Oscar enjoyed the luxury and didn't really want to leave. We can highly recommend this accomodation, it certainly had the relaxing feel good factor we were looking for. Thanks to Thelma and Keith.
