Luxury lodges & cottages on one of England's most unspoilt country estates close to Exmoor in Frome. Unique family holiday accommodation in beautiful location

The rich history of Orchardleigh dates back to the Doomsday Book, and is one of the most unspoilt English Country Estates. Orchardleigh's indefinable English charm is testimony to the estate changing family ownership only twice in 800 years Veiled in a tranquil bowl of parklands and lakes its horizon a sweeping backdrop of rolling hills, the Poet Laureate Sir Henry Newbolt was inspired to write his finest works from his love of Orchardleigh. Our cottages and lodges are available for stays of one night, one week and more long term stays.

Orchardleigh lends itself as either a peaceful retreat with Golf, fishing or painting and numerous walks, or an ideal centre for an active family holiday. The many nearby attractions include the Roman Spa City of Bath (10 miles), the Cathedral city of Wells, Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole, Glastonbury Tor, Museum and Abbey, Clarke's shopping village at Street, Stourhead House and Gardens, all approximately 30 minutes drive. Stonehenge, Salisbury, Weston-Super-Mare, the Bristol Channel coast and the South Coast are all within an easy travelling distance. Close by is the impressive Longleat Estate and world famous Safari Park.
