We very much enjoyed our second stay at Orchard Cottage, this time for three weeks. The location is fabulous, 200 yards from the beautiful Rigg Bay. We were terribly lucky with the weather too. Two little things: 1) The bed linen and pillows are of a very poor quality2) The occasional van and car passing very close to the front door was a bit of a worry as we have two little dogs.Apart from that we would thoroughly recommend Orchard Cottage.

Third return to Orchard Cottage which clearly suits us. Out of the way on a large estate but close to Rigg Bay. The bay is very tidal but makes good kayak and paddle boarding at high water.The lounge is small and lacking in the benefits of coffee table and discreet lighting, but the dining/kitchen is more spacious.Bedrooms are good sized and comfortable.
