Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Cotswolds, Orchard Manor stands as a testament to history, elegance, and timeless beauty. This charming estate, dating back to 1476 and proudly owned by the same family for generations, is a true masterpiece set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The moment you step onto the grounds of Orchard Manor, you are transported to a world of tranquillity and splendour. The property is cocooned in exceptional privacy, surrounded by unspoilt landscapes and breathtaking vistas of the Cotswolds in every direction. As you take in the sweeping views, it becomes clear that this is a place where nature and history coexist in perfect harmony.
The nearby village is a delightful addition to your stay, offering an award-winning pub, a traditional butcher, a quaint cafe, and a charming farm shop, all within walking distance. Beyond the village, the Cotswolds' most famous destinations, such as Chipping Campden, Broadway, Stow on the Wold, Chipping Norton, Daylesford, and Soho Farmhouse, are just a stone's throw away.
Orchard Manor is a sun-soaked haven, with its west-facing façade and large windows that flood the interior with warm afternoon and evening light. The sunsets from the beautifully manicured gardens are nothing short of spectacular.
Inside, the house is a treasure trove of history, with original 17th-century wood panelling, ornate plasterwork, and exposed wooden beams. While the house retains its historic charm, it has been thoughtfully modernised to ensure your comfort, with contemporary amenities like modern bathrooms, hot water, central heating, and Wi-Fi.
The heart of the house is its stunning hall, featuring 17th-century oak panelling, a double-height ceiling, and an inviting open fire. The drawing room, with its open fireplace, offers a perfect spot for gatherings, while the cosy sitting room is ideal for watching a film or curling up with a book by the fire.
With eight spacious, light-filled bedrooms, all en-suite, and a dining room that can accommodate up to eighteen guests, Orchard Manor is an idyllic retreat for large gatherings. The chef's kitchen is a dream for those who love to cook, equipped with modern appliances and conveniences.
The estate's twenty acres of parkland and orchards, a tennis court, a wild spring-fed swimming lake with water sports equipment, a fully-equipped boathouse for alfresco dining, and a South African-style fire pit overlooking the lake provide ample opportunities for outdoor relaxation and recreation.
Orchard Manor is not just a holiday destination; it's an experience, a piece of living history where elegance and tradition combine to create an unforgettable stay in the Cotswolds.
