“Such a stunning property and we had an amazing week there.”

Surrounded by nothing but countryside, it really is the perfect remote getaway. Jacques couldn’t have been more hospitable and has a great local knowledge of the area. Would highly recommend and suspect it’s even more beautiful in the summer!

John November 2024

“We had a very warm welcome from Jacques who was both friendly and helpful throughout our stay and introduced us to his horses.”

We were also able to watch dressage practice in the arena from our patio. The cottage itself is spacious, spotlessly clean and warm. Oodles of storage space in the bedrooms and kitchen and an extensive supply of kitchen equipment. Everything is top quality (excellent chair and lamp for reading) and comfortable. A great location for visiting the area - we particularly enjoyed Ross on Wye, Tewkesbury, Upton upon Severn, Ledbury and the Forest of Dean. A wonderfully relaxing place to stay. Will be very happy to book a return visit.

- John, November 2024

Jane September 2024

“We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Orchard View despite the appalling weather!”

! Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating. We asked and received recommendations of where to visit and where there were great places to eat. The cottage was very comfortable and clean. We also made good use of the hot tub If we ever journey to Gloucestershire again, we would not hesitate to book this accommodation.

Karen September 2024

“We arrived to a warm welcome from Jacques and his housekeeper Phyllis.”

The cottage was spacious, spotless and homely. The location is idyllic, peaceful and relaxing with views of the garden, orchard and horses in the paddocks. We absolutely loved our time there and didn't want to leave. The location is ideal for visiting so many places, so we'll definitely return. We shared several interesting chats with Jacques, a very thoughtful and interesting man. His three dogs were good fun too. A brilliant stay all round, thank you.

- Karen, September 2024

Hi Karen and Ritchie, thank you for your fantastic review. we love our little farm and take much pleasure when our guests enjoy it here like you did. we look forward to you returning soon. with kindest regards Jacques Property Owner

Miss August 2024

“We had a lovely stay at orchard view, will definitely be back.”

The owners were so welcoming and friendly my daughter loved the rope swing and watching the horses. We loved the evenings when they used to bring the dogs round and she would throw the ball for them. The accommodation was very comfortable and the hot tub was a nice extra to have. The kitchen was well equipped and we had everything we needed for the week. Thank you for a fantastic stay.

- Miss, August 2024

Scott August 2024

“Thank you Jacques (owner), who made the place feel like a wonderful home from home, as we didn't have to ask for anything.”

We had a wonderful stay. The bed was the biggest bed we have ever slept in, the size 55" TV was the perfect size, & the hot tub temperature was kept just right, as Jacques checked and cleaned it every day. We have been to many 4/5 star properties and could not fault any of it. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was it didn't have a bath or bathrobes for the hot tub, however, that is just personal preference. There is nothing we didn't like We will definitely be back!!!

- Scott, August 2024

Hi Scott, thank you for your very positive review and we are very pleased you liked the cottage, hottub and the superking size bed! I hear what you say about bathrobes for the hot tub use and that certainly is something we will look into for the future We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Best regards, Jacques Property Owner
Delyth August 2024

“What an amazing break-away we just had at Orchard View.”

The photos on the listing do not do the property justice, its stunning and located in a truely idyllic area. The only sounds you'll hear are the birds, horses and occasional sheep. Jacques the owner is a really friendly, helpful and interesting charecter, and nothing we asked was too much trouble. He even allowed our daughters to visit the stables and meet his horses, which made their day. He was an excellent host. The house is very well appointed, with fresh bread, cookies, eggs, butter,milk, coffee, tea, sugar, oil and condiments all provided, as well as dishwasher tablets etc, there really wasnt anything other than toiletries that we needed to bring. The property was very clean, tidy and well presented and was a really nice and homely place to relax in, we especially liked waking up with the patio doors open, looking out over the fields whilst listening to nature. Outside was a large garden area with dining area, private parking and an awesome hot tub, which was kept at a very pleasant 38c and was freshly cleaned, filled and heated prior to our arrival... The kids loved the hot tub! All in all we are so happy we found this amazing gem of a property and will certainly visit again!

- Delyth, August 2024

Hi Del and Chris, Thank you very much for your amazing review. We very much enjoyed having you and your two delightful young daughters staying over. You were our first guests and we really appreciate the feedback you gave us. Next visit please stay longer and we look forward to welcoming you again, very soon! Best wishes, Jacques Property Owner

The surroundings are simply sublime with views of open countryside, nearby stables and a lush and green orchard which help to create a blissful, rural idyll.

Both feature beamed ceilings and French doors leading outside and are the ideal place for resting weary heads at night and waking up in the morning when you can throw open the patio doors and enjoy a refreshing coffee on the patio while you plan your day’s activities.
