About
Warm and welcoming, The Orchards is a spacious countryside cottage for 6 people with 3 bedrooms, dining room and real fire. Enjoy stunning views of the Staffordshire Peak District from every window! This is the perfect place for families and friends to get together but is secluded and cosy enough for couples wanting a romantic hideaway with a lovely log fire and snuggly beds (10% discount for 2). Plenty of lawns for lounging or playing games, woodlands to explore and wildlife to watch. Come in Spring to see the little lambs. The Orchards is located in prime walking country, two cycle trails nearby with bike hire (we have a garage for your own bikes), pony-trekking, quad-biking, and sailing, Attractions such as Chatsworth, Haddon Hall, Bakewell, Alton Towers, Trentham Monkey Forest and much more are just a short drive away.
