About this property
Orchard Cottage offers a peaceful escape in the heart of Corse, a friendly Gloucestershire village surrounded by rolling fields and winding lanes. Sleeping up to six guests across two bedrooms and a double sofa bed, it’s a fine choice for families or small groups looking to slow the pace and enjoy a proper slice of English countryside life. Step through the door and you’ll find a warm, inviting interior that feels instantly welcoming. The kitchen/diner has everything you need for a self-catered stay, from a gas oven and hob to a microwave and fridge, so you can enjoy anything from hearty breakfasts to evening suppers after a day of exploring.
The sitting room provides a relaxed space to unwind, whether you’re catching up on a film, listening to some music, or just chatting over a bottle of wine. WiFi keeps everyone connected, and a sleek shower room with a walk-in shower with a small step offers a refreshing way to start the day. Outside, a suntrap patio with seating invites slow mornings over coffee or peaceful evenings watching the light fade across the fields, a small but satisfying luxury. The local shop is within walking distance for those little essentials, while a welcoming pub nearby serves up good food and a proper pint.
Corse itself is a quiet, rural spot that feels worlds away from the rush of daily life, yet it’s perfectly placed for exploring some of Gloucestershire’s finest highlights. Head into the historic city of Gloucester to admire its magnificent cathedral and bustling docks, or take a trip to the elegant spa town of Cheltenham with its grand Regency streets and independent shops. The Forest of Dean is also easily reached, offering leafy trails, hidden sculptures and wildlife at every turn. For a getaway that blends countryside calm with easy access to culture, Orchard Cottage makes a delightful base, unpretentious, well-situated and full of character.
In the historic waterfront city of Gloucester you will find Roman foundations, Victorian Docklands and a magnificent Norman Cathedral (whose cloisters were used as a location in the Harry Potter films) rubbing shoulders with a bustling city centre boasting an incredible range of shops, markets, restaurants, pubs and visitor attractions. Gloucester is an ideal base for touring the Cotswolds and Forest of Dean, bursting with peaceful country walks and quaint villages, not to mention the regency town of Cheltenham, with its historic Georgian architecture and famous Gold Cup horse racing.
