This cottage is in a lovely location and has access to a sweet orchard area with a field behind it. The cottage is homely. The owner was friendly.

We are fairly new to cottages having camped for 63 years and The Orchard was only our 3rd. It was fantastic compared with the first 2. Everything we could wish for. I took many things which were provided there so I didn't need to. We had a lovely holiday.
