Guests say
Little Orchard receives glowing feedback for its peaceful countryside setting, spacious and spotless interiors, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests consistently praise the friendly and helpful host, the comfortable furnishings, and the convenient location for exploring Bath, Bristol, and Somerset. The orchard and garden views are a delightful bonus, and the property is described as a true home from home. Minor issues, such as thin curtains and occasional maintenance hiccups, are far outweighed by the overwhelmingly positive experiences shared by guests.
Cleanliness is repeatedly highlighted, with guests describing the property as spotless, tidy, and well-maintained. Only one review mentions a minor issue, but the vast majority are highly complimentary.
The location is praised for its tranquillity, countryside charm, and proximity to Bath, Bristol, and local attractions. Some mention narrow roads, but this is typical for the area and does not detract from the overall positive impression.
Guests find the cottage very comfortable, with quality beds, cosy furnishings, and a peaceful atmosphere. Occasional comments about thin curtains and radiator temperature are rare and do not significantly impact the overall comfort.
The cottage is described as well-equipped, with everything needed for a pleasant stay, including kitchen essentials and good WiFi. A few minor suggestions (such as a pizza wheel or radiator adjustment) are noted but do not detract from the overall satisfaction.
Guests appreciate thoughtful touches such as guidebooks, fleecy blankets, and the opportunity to pick fruit from the orchard. Some mention a welcome basket or milk, but as these are not guaranteed, future guests should not expect them as standard.

We had a lovely stay in Little Orchard, it gave us the chance to have an enjoyable time visiting Bath, Wells and Glastonbury and the surrounding areas. It's a very comfortable, well located house and we felt 'at home from home'
