Orchard Cottage, Calwich Nursery, Calwich, Staffordshire, DE6 2HE

The cottage is perfect from the toastie warm wood burner on arrival, the well equipped kitchen, the welcome hamper full of goodies, the jacuzzi complete with robes and slippers, comfy beds and sitting room. Wonderful country views yet a quick drive to Ashbourne, Peak wildlife park, Alton towers etc

Cannot recommend highly enough

We were a group of 4 ladies celebrating a special birthday and a retirement! 2 of us have stayed here before. The cottage is absolutely wonderful, very warm and cosy but with lots of space. The cottage and hot tub are spotless. The owners Mike and Wendy live next door and are very friendly but discreet. They have thought of everything in the cottage from the lovely bedding, robes, towels not only for the bathrooms but also the hot tub. The welcome pack was wonderful with tasty local produce and the log burner was lit for our arrival which was wonderful. Highly recommended and we will definitely return! Highly recommended is a visit to Chatsworth House and for good, hearty pub food the Roston Inn is fab! Many thanks xx

The cottage was all we could wish for and more it was extremely well equipped, spotlessly clean, very good location for getting to other places. Wendy and Mike met us to explain everything through and were very welcoming. When we got there we had been travelling several hours and thought we would have to go back out to get some food and drinks but then we saw the welcome basket which was absolutely amazing and had everything we needed.

The cottage was really warm and comfortable and we loved the conservatory seeing the squirrels run around and play we even got them to eat from our hand. We would highly recommend this cottage and we will definitely return

Having booked Orchard Cottage for a family break we were really impressed with the accomodation.It is spotlessly clean, very well equipped, and maintained and the owners Mike and Wendy are really friendly and eager to please, but also respect their guests privacy. On arrival there was a magnificent welcoming basket of locally sourced bread, milk, biscuits, cake and other goodies. Together with the hot tub and gas barbecue we couldn't have asked for more.

The location is ideal for exploring the beautiful rolling countryside, despite being only a short drive away from Alton Towers theme park and other local attractions.

Having booked this holiday cottage in january of this year, we had been looking forward to our stay for months and we weren't disappointed at all. The hosts of the cottage were welcoming, friendly and living close by were on hand to help if we needed anything. They had provided a very generous welcome hamper which had everything from prosecco to locally made bread, eggs, butter and preserves. We all absolutely loved the hot tub, which we enjoyed day and night and also the wonderful outside sitting area. The cottage itself was fabulous and we were particularly impressed with how well-equipped the kitchen was. Literally everything you could need was there from kitchen scales to cling film. We even found detergent and fabric conditioner in the utility room so you could wash and dry all your laundry before heading if you wanted to! The area was brilliant. We did: Alton Towers, Carsington Water and Dovedale as well as trips to Ashbourne. I would highly recommend this cottage to families or any groups really. We were a family of four, but you could easily have 6 people staying without feeling cramped, it's so spacious. Everything was so clean and new-looking too! I literally can't fault the cottage, area or hosts. It was just wonderful. Thank you! :)

We had an absolutely fabulous time at Orchard Cottage. Wendy and Mike were so helpful and friendly and the cottage was beautiful. Everything was spotlessly clean and the hot tub was heaven! We?d really recommend this cottage for a totally tranquil and relaxing break!

We have just returned from a fabulous stay at Orchard Cottage for New Year 2019/20. The cottage is immaculate and the owners Mike and Wendy have thought of everything you could possibly need to make your stay a "Home from Home" experience, and the food & proseco hamper on arrival was a lovely touch.

The cottage is furnished to a very high standard and free WiFi. The log burner was on most of our stay and plenty of fresh wood to burn.

New Years Eve in the hot tub was perfect, champagne and lots of laughter plus the hosts were entertaining with friends and had some excellent fireworks at midnight.

The countryside is fresh and welcoming with some great walks, local pubs were good and Ashbourne is only 4 miles away with plenty of shops, supermarkets etc so you can stock up on food.

This has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break and a get away from the busy humdrum of life.

We thoroughly recommend Orchard Cottage and look forward to booking another short stay soon.

Stayed here with my wife, 2 kids (aged 13 & 11) and my Mother.

We generally try to book a cottage somewhere in the UK for a week around the Easter school holidays and this was easily one of the best we have ever stayed in.

The owners are exceptionally welcoming.

The cottage sits very close to the owners property using the same driveway with parking easily for 2/3 cars). It has a separate utility room with a washing machine and dryer as well as an ample supply of wood and coal for the fire in the evening!

The outside terrace with table and chairs a

Quite simply put, this is THE best cottage we have ever stayed in. It is beautiful, even better than the photos, and the owners are fantastic. We booked for Christmas 2015 but due to an unexpected illness in the family we didn't actually get there until Boxing Day (4 days late) and to be honest we weren't sure whether to bother making the effort but thank goodness we did as we ended up having a wonderful time, albeit a much shorter holiday than expected! As soon as we arrived we were made really welcome by the owners, the stove was lit and a beautifully deco

Very hard to fault this place. Excellent welcome basket, very well equipped from wifi to hot tub, short drive to walk, cycle or explore the local history. Owners extremely helpful. Well out in the country down a long driveway but 10 minutes from sainsbury wait rose and M & S if you need them. Downstairs single room would be easily wheelchair accessible if you needed it.
