"Our second stay at this lovely little cottage."
Such a beautiful location and thank you for the oat milk!
thankyou for your comment, we are glad you enjoyed it and wanted to visit again Property Owner

"We spent a really enjoyable week in this lovely cottage."
It had everything we needed for a very comfortable and relaxing break. We enjoyed local walks and the ease of strolling into Ledbury and made full use of the local station by taking the train to Hereford, Worcester and Great Malvern for car-free days out.

"Very lovely little place with lots of wildlife in the surrounding fields."
Beds were very comfortable. Ideally situated for walking into Ledbury. Very peaceful and relaxing.
Thankyou very much for the lovely feedback. We are very glad that you enjoyed your stay. We love all the wildlife too Property Owner

"I found the property easy to find and the owners welcoming."
The cottage is ideally positioned for exploring Ledbury and surrounding areas as well as easy access to rail and bus services. There was a good dog walk called the Town Trail which took you into Ledbury. The cottage was clean and has clearly been well used as it was little tired in places and would benefit from some upgrading e.g. replacing the sofa as the cushion support has gone on one side, better cutlery, condiments and perhaps a new cooker although this works perfectly well. I found the sink in the toilet too small to wash in so had to use the kitchen sink - but not a problem for me. One factor which I did find a little concerning was the property is directly opposite Sequani - a research institute which is involved in testing on animals. There were some protests outside the facility for short times on some days. As an animal lover - I probably would not have booked here had I known. However I had an enjoyable holiday with my dog and am grateful for the property owners hospitality.

"A perfectly placed cottage."
Rural setting but only a 15 minute walk to the town. The cottage was warm, comfortable and peaceful. It was delightful to sit and watch the spring lambs and pheasants . I will definitely be looking to stay again.
thankyou for the lovely feedback. we love to see the lambs and wild life too. You would be most welcome if you visit again Property Owner

thankyou for the lovely feedback Property Owner

"We were only at orchard cottage for 3 nights and found it adequate."
But if were staying longer there is no washing machine or facility for drying clothes. Our dog is a shitzpoo who would have loved to run. But as we found she easily managed to get under some fencing so had to have her on a lead. The cottage is very well situated for pubs, shops and the surrounding areas are beautiful. The cottage is clean, very warm. We enjoyed our stay.
glad you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

"We stayed at Orchard Cottage for a two night stay, and loved it!"
The cottage has a lovely, cosy feel and has stunning views of the Ledbury countryside. The kitchen is really well equipped and has everything you could need, the lovely gesture of milk and biscuits was nice too. The bed was really comfortable, and even in December the cottage was nice and warm with the heating. We would definitely return for another visit.
thankyou for your lovely comment. we are glad you enjoyed your stay and you would be most welcome if you return sometime. Property Owner

We enjoyed the countryside. It was great to be in a change of surroundings, we really felt at home. Very relaxing cottage.

"Lovely cottage, ideally placed for our needs."

"Orchard Cottage is lovely."
We found everything as advertised and the hosts friendly and welcoming.
-
"Very pleased with our week's stay at Orchard Cottage, 10 minutes walk to Ledbury centre and 10 minutes in car to Malvern hills etc."
Lots of place's for eating out and all we tried was very good. Although the cottage was in the owners back garden we were left with our own privacy and space. Many thanks to the owners
-
"We had everything we wanted and the enclosed space for the dogs was very secure which is very important to us."
-
"We couldn’t fault the accommodation , it was spotlessly clean and very cosy and comfortable."
The location was perfect , close to town but with a rural, peaceful outlook . It was perfect for the dogs having an enclosed paddock for them to run in .
Thankyou for you kind comment. Glad you had a lovely break. Property Owner

"Clean and comfortable well equipped detached cottage in owners garden."
Easy parking and short walk (200m) from trains and bus stop for Hereford and Malvern. 10 minute walk to centre of Ledbury. Good base for exploring the area. We had a great time.
-
"The property was clean and comfortable but it's was close enough to the main ..."
The property was clean and comfortable but it's was close enough to the main road to hear traffic Not as rural as expected seeing photos on website Ledbury is a very pretty town and we could find walks a little further away
-
"Property was spotlessly clean."
Location was great for surrounding towns and walks. Owners were very nice. Property should have been aired before arrival. Was stifling and took 30 mins airing before usable. All available cupboard space was taken up with pots and pans. Food had to be kept out on worktops and tables. No prep area and reduced eating space.
-
"Lovely peaceful location."
Clean, tidy and everything we needed for our stay.
-
"We had a great stay here."
The owners were very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.
-
"Great place."
Did not realise that it was not near the car park. Also I am partially disabled so found ghe distance a pain
-
"A lovely little cottage, very clean and comfortable and in an attractive orchard."
Just right for two and a dog! Two points: a handrail on the steps leading to the cottage would be helpful and the hob/oven are rather dated. A grill would be good.
-
"This was our second visit to Orchard Cottage and yet again we were not disappointed."
The cottage is ideally located easy walking distance from the town and yet in a rural setting. Our hosts were wonderful giving us space to get on with our holiday yet being on hand should the need arise. The cottage itself is clean comfortable well presented and equipped. We coul not ask for more and look forward to another visit. .
-
"A lovely cottage in a lovely part of the country."
Plenty of walking locally and in a short distance by either car, train or bus. Our hosts were very helpful and friendly. Would not hesitate to recommend this cottage to others.
-
"The cottage was great."
Newly painted and spotlessly clean. The owners were pleasant and very amenable. Position was lovely and convenient for the town and railway station. It was slightly uphill which could be a problem for some. All in all a very pleasant place
-
"We have already congratulated the property owner for her practical & thoughtful arrangement of Orchard Cottage."
It was such a delight to be there that we intend to return. Our thanks to her, please.
-
"Lovely stay, beautiful views and walks from cottage."
Warm and comfortable, friendly and helpful hosts.
-
"We had a great time at Orchard Cottage."
The cottage was lovely and cozy and there is lots to do in the area. Our 5 year old loved the sheep! Pet friendly and a lovely place, would definitely return.
-
"Fabulous cottage, lovely hosts!"
We would have loved to leave feedback in a visitor book but understand that due to COVID, this was not available. Great area to travel out to places from. Peaceful break. Thank you

"We found this lovely little lodge to be very pleasant for our family (2 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 dogs) for our short stay in Ledbury."
The landlady was so helpful with regards arrival time and we found the lodge to be clean with some very thoughtful touches (kids were impressed by the nice biscuits and crisps that were waiting for us). The location was excellent as it was only a short walk to the station, to the town, and up the hill into the woods. We did find the advert to be slightly misleading as we thought we’d have an orchard to walk round but were told that wasn’t part of the property. However there was a small garden area for the dogs and the woods were 2 mins away as mentioned already. We personally wouldn’t choose to stay again as a whole family because our teenagers were really too old for the bouncy bunk beds and we would prefer 3 bedrooms if we stayed away again, but if you have younger kids, or are a couple on your own, this would be absolutely fine. If hubby and I were venturing off on our own with the dogs we’d come back to this lodge for sure. The sofa in the living room was really comfy, the outlook is very pretty and we had no WiFi problems contrary to the reports of other guests.

"Lovely little cottage perfect for us- 2 adults and a toddler."
We particularly enjoyed watching the rabbits, sheep and lambs just outside the back windows, running through the orchards and bluebell forest on the hill behind the cottage and a glass of wine in the spring sunshine with the blossom in the orchard at the front of the cottage.
-
"Great little cabin in a beautiful setting with sunny aspects all day."
Comfortably slept and seated 2 adults, 2 children and 1 dog for the week. The previous bad review is not justified. The owners are very pleasant, helpful and give freedom in their grounds willingly. Ledbury, local walks and the Malverns all really accessible. We had a fab week and were very lucky with the weather.

"I have already made a complaint regarding this property, the reference is COR-188414-CF."
You will find photos of the property attached to the compaint which was not as we expected and certainly was not worth the £140 per night price tag. Very disappointing too that I have not had a response from Sykes to my complaint after I have also called for an update too ?? Our overall experience was upsetting and made a well earned holiday come to an abrupt end due to the poor quality accommodation definately not as described on the internet - overrated & overpriced ! Compensation would be appreciated.......
We are sorry to hear that you were unsatisfied with the accommodation but also somewhat surprised. As previous feedback, both online and in person has generally been that it is a very nice, clean and comfortable cottage. This property can accommodate up to 4 people and 2 dogs and the price at that time for the 3 night stay that was booked was £93 per night inclusive and consider this to be a fair price for this accommodation.

"This is good for 2 people, it would be very cramped with more."
Internet connection is not very good as it comes up from the main house - OK outside if it is not raining. The advice on the dogs is confusing, there are no longer any free range chickens! A good spot on the edge of town with walks starting close to the cottage. We had a good time.
-
"Excellent property just a short walk from Ledbury & it's fine selection of dog friendly bars & shops."
-
"Lovely countryside location and convenient for the town centre with it's lovely Tudor shops and many pubs."
The owners were helpful yet none intrusive and their cottage was warm, comfortable and had everything needed so thank you.
-
"Wonderful cottage with everything you could possibly need, biscuits and milk on arrival were a treat."
Dogs loved the area, plenty of good walks. Definitely recommend.
-
"We had a lovely stay at Orchard Cottage."
It was cosy and exactly as described. The location was great with a lovely view and had lots to do. Having the train station within walking distance was also a bonus. Great stay and would love to return.
-
"Orchard Cottage is a great base, comfortable and dog friendly."
Ledbury is a great town with lots of nice shops and good places to eat. The surrounding countryside makes for great dog walks too.
-
"Orchard Cottage was more than just nice, it had everything including very friendly and helpful hosts."
Tilly (our dog) thought the patio area very acceptable and we enjoyed it too looking over the countryside. The position was good in so many ways, easy to get to town, walks and much more. Judith, Don and Tilly
-
"Everything at the cottage was as described in the advert made more enjoyable with the arrival of spring lambs in the fields behind the cottage ."
We were able to walk to the station for trips out if we didn’t want to take the car. Tesco and a petrol station was also very close. The only drawback with the cottage was the WiFi, the first two days were OK but after that we were frequently told the password had changed ,it was possible to connect on and off but if you need to stay in touch and do not have phone access this is not for you.
-
"A beautiful location with easy walking into Ledbury town or into the countryside."
Can walk to excellent subs and a large supermarket. The railway station and bus stop are nearby (5 minute walk) so a car is not essential. Very friendly owners who were there for information but were inconspicuous! Would recommend this cottage for a week. Not having a washer/dishwasher might be inconvenient for a longer stay. Views from the cottage and from the private patio area were exceptional.
-
"Nice cottage, very clean and warm and well equipped."
It backed onto a field where we could let our dogs out when the sheep weren’t in it. Great for a couple/family with small children but would be quite snug for four adults. Very convenient for Ledbury town centre and the Malvern Hills are only a 15 minute drive away and there is a large Tesco just down the road. Would recommend.
-
"A well appointed cottage with more thoughtful touches like dvds books and many other lovely surprises that really made our stay very enjoyable."
Iwould recommend to anyone.
-
"The cottage did exactly what it said on the tin lovely area"
-
"Excellent aspect, great location, a short walk from Ledbury with all its shops, restaurants and pubs."

Accommodation was excellent and owners very friendly. We would definitely stay there again

"Lovely, peaceful, relaxing location, with amazing views!"
! The hosts were most welcoming and helpful without being intrusive. The cottage was spotless on arrival and the milk and biscuits left were much appreciated. Our Dogs,Lilly and Daisy enjoyed their break too, and even they were catered for with a dog bowl and mat laid out for them. Highly recommend!!!!

"Orchard Cottage is a very comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage set in lovely surroundings in a very scenic area of the country."
The owners are very friendly and we apologise to them for not writing a comment in their visitors book, we were too laid back after a very relaxing week!
-
"A very comfortable cottage close to the railway station and walking distance from town."
Private with lovely outlook. Good walks close by.
-
"Excellent location views the countryside, but is actually just on the edge of town."
lots of area for the dog to run free safely. really good spot.
-
"What a lovely place so peaceful."
Don't feed the chickens or your find they will be your best friend :) Would definitely go again
-
"We were absolutely delighted to stay in Orchard Cottage from our arrival when we were greeted by Kerry right through to our departure."
Kerry and her husband Steve have provided a perfect cameo of a holiday cottage which is very well equipped, warm and comfortable . The location is delightful, being in the grounds of their house amidst gorgeous countryside ; we were constantly enthralled to see sheep grazing outside the kitchen window in a field frequented by pheasants and three hens wandering in the orchard daily. It is only a short walk into Ledbury centre which is steeped in history . We took our Fox Terrier on great walks locally and around Malvern as well as villages nearby. We look forward to returning to Orchard Cottage. .
-
"The cottage was easy to find, well labelled as we approached on a busy road."
We were impressed by the warmth of the welcome, the cottage was ideal. It was situated up a slight slope and, as elderly people we were most grateful for help with our bags, We were given helpful information about the place and its facilities. it provided an excellent base for visiting a number of attractive sites.

About the location
LEDBURY
Hereford 15 miles.
The ancient market town of Ledbury (4 miles), dating back to 960 AD, nestles under the Malvern Hills east of Hereford, surrounded by unspoilt English countryside. Ledbury lies on the River Leadon and is famous for its numerous timbered buildings, including Ledbury Park, believed to be one the finest Black and White buildings in England, the 17th century Market House in the town centre and The Painted Room, home to 16th century frescoes. Many music, art and food and drink festivals can be enjoyed in the town and the surrounding area. From time to time music, art, poetry, food and drink festivals are held in the town. Nearby is Eastnor Castle, a fine example of a 19th century, mock-medieval castle, and numerous festivals are held in Eastnor Park. Close by is the historic city of Hereford with its 11th century cathedral, world famous Mappa Mundi and Chained Library. Malvern offers guests many lovely walks along the hills, a luxurious spa and for the car enthusiasts the Morgan Motor Company. Guests can also enjoy the local vineyards, travel along the Elgar Route, visit the Black and White villages and enjoy the many outdoor activities available in the Forest of Dean and beautiful Wye Valley. A great holiday destination at any time of year.
