The Cottage on the Orchard

  • 7 guests

  • 4 bedrooms

  • 3 bathrooms

Escape to this honey-coloured cottage in the Cotswold village of Snowshill. The location is ideal, just a two-minute walk to the local village pub with many walking paths nearby. Back home, there’s plenty of room for all seven guests to spread out, with a dining area, a living area, and a snug. It’s the picture of Cotswolds cosiness. You’ll be racing to kick off your muddy walking shoes in the boot room and relax by the log burning fireplace. The picturesque garden is another lovely addition. If you’re bringing little ones, just keep an eye on them around the steps outside. And bear in mind that the guest count of seven includes children and infants.
