With a central spiral tower staircase, eye-catching design features and views that take your breath away each time, The Orangery is a magical place to stay.

After your Cotswolds day out, make the most of the house and serve a homecooked meal. With a small dining area seating four, the kitchen has an oven and hob and there is a pantry with extra storage space and a wine fridge to keep your fizz fresh. The dining and sitting rooms are set within octagonal towers lending them a unique character which is mirrored in the shape of the dining table. Serve dinners here beside exceptional garden views through the high windows before retiring for drinks beside the fire in the sitting room. Two bedrooms are on the ground floor, ideal for parents and their children the adjoining rooms open to the garden and have the benefit of an en-suite. Up the central spiral stairs are the main bedrooms with far-reaching garden vistas and comfortable beds that will be hard to tear yourselves away from in the mornings.
Stepping outside, the gardens at The Orangery are sublime. Stroll alongside the Dutch canal spotting birdlife as you sip you morning coffee, enjoying this quiet moment. A dining table is at the end of the waterway for summer meals and drinks together. Stay here into the evening lighting the firepit which doubles as a BBQ. This picturesque backdrop with The Orangery behind is picture-perfect and you will start traditions, staying here year after year to celebrate milestones.

Bridgerton house of dreams
My friends and I had the most wonderful stay at the Orangery.
From the moment you walk in it feels like youre stepping into the world of Bridgerton. Everything was decorated so beautifully and it was spotlessly clean!
We spent afternoons wandering the gardens and evenings in the lounge feeling like ladies of the manor.
The beds are super comfortable and the bathrooms and kitchen well equipped.
The local area was super quiet and very relaxing.
I really cannot recommend the Orangery enough. It was the perfect place for a girly weekend away!
