If you're seeking a tucked away, dreamy escape somewhere a little different, look no further than this beauty. Set in the glorious Wiltshire countryside yet just an easy drive away from the city of Bath, this wonderful dog friendly homestay for four (but perfect for couples too) is ready to welcome you into its fold.

Step through the doors and you'll discover a home with a whisper of Scandi chic, a perfect blend of natural materials, gorgeous soft colours and mindfully chosen furniture to create a calm yet cosy ambience. It's not all style over substance though - the ecologically-minded owners have incorporated stylish recycling into the process too, with innovative design such as kitchen cupboards made from recycled bottles.

Set on the edge of the North Wessex Downs amongst the vast grassy plains of Wiltshire, this is a stunning spot to explore, with Neolithic wonders such as Avebury and Stonehenge a short drive away, whilst the gorgeous Roman city of Bath makes for a fabulous day out.


Living and eating

The fabulously open plan living, kitchen and dining area makes it oh-so-sociable for everyone to come together and enjoy their time together in one space. With vaulted ceiling, Velux windows and large windows, it's a beautifully light space, and by using natural materials the room is a peaceful, calming haven away from the everyday.

At the heart of the living area there's a large, flickering woodburning stove, with a comfy sofa set in front, ideal for curling up on whilst gazing out over the idyllic orchard. When night descends, there's subtle ambient lighting plus a Smart TV to catch up on your favourite films and box sets, whilst there's also a Bluetooth speaker and DAB radio to create the soundtrack to your holiday.

The kitchen lies at the other end of the room and is a sleek L-shape, with dark cupboards (amazingly made from recycled bottles) and smooth white worktops. Complete with everything you'll need to rustle up feasts including a gas hob, electric oven and dishwasher, it also has the all-important Nespresso coffee machine with milk frother plus there's a separate butcher's block offering additional prep space. You'll find a washing machine and tumble dryer located in the laundry shed next to the car parking area.

Next to the kitchen is the square wooden dining table for four, the perfect setting for lazy brunch, a quick snack or sumptuous suppers.


Sleeping

There are two stunning king size bedrooms to choose from, one being a zip-and-link bed so can also be set up as a twin. With wood-clad walls and floors, bedside tables, wardrobes and dressing tables, they have everything you could need to make your stay comfortable, plus large windows that overlook the garden and rolling countryside beyond - perfect for gazing out over during long, lazy lie-ins.

The sumptuous bedding and linen are fabulously eco-friendly, with the pillows and duvets made from recycled ocean bound plastics. With credentials like that, falling asleep is that much more satisfying!


Bathing

The beautiful bathroom comes complete with a freestanding bathtub, perfect for deliciously deep and luxurious soaks, whilst there's a separate shower for wake-me-up ablutions in the morning. A heated rail ensures towels are kept warm and fluffy.


Outdoor space

Step outside and you'll discover a sun-soaked terrace complete with a table and chairs and a gas barbeque, perfect for meals alfresco. Next to that is a bubbling hot tub, the pièce de resistance of the garden and the number one spot for relaxing as the sun sets and the inky skies descend, and the stars glisten above - just bliss! There's also plenty of lawn space, perfect for playtime with your pooch or little ones.


Swimming Pool

Uncover the stunning indoor swimming pool and gym facilities, the perfect retreat pastime whether you're seeking early morning workouts or dreamy afternoon dips. Complete with a shower room to cool off after lounging poolside, while away serene staycation moments at Orchard Lodge.


Parking

There's plenty of off road, private parking.


Babies and children

Babies and children are most welcome. A highchair and travel cot are available on request.


Dogs

In the Area

Orchard Lodge lies in the pretty village of Heddington in Wiltshire, and is perfectly positioned to explore the gorgeous, expansive countryside of this amazing area. If historical sites are your thing, you'll find the Cherhill White Horse, Silbury Hill and the standing stones of Avebury all within a short distance. If you're looking for a little more hustle and bustle, the stunning city of Bath and Bradford-on-Avon are all within a relatively short drive away, whilst the historical market towns of Devizes and Marlborough are well worth a visit too. For film buffs, the village of Lacock and Castle Combe have regularly used in films such as Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice and Stephen Spielberg's War Horse. For eating out, you needn't get in a car with the Ivy at Heddington, a traditional pub, just a short walk across fields. For a walk with a difference, head to the Kennet and Avon Canal and walk the tow paths for idyllic views.


Set in the glorious Wiltshire countryside lies our wood-clad retreat, with epic views, a bubbling hot tub, indoor pool and a wood burner. It’s dog friendly too!

We know how gorgeous our retreats are, but don’t just take our word for it – here’s what previous guests say about Orchard Lodge:

Orchard Lodge is situated in a secluded, peaceful and private setting where we enjoyed the outdoor hot tub and relaxed knowing our dogs were able to join us in the secure outdoor space. We were unfortunate to have extreme rain when we stayed, however we were able to enjoy the lovely indoor heated swimming pool and well equipped gym, which was a welcomed break from the weather. Inside the lodge, the space was quite small, but had a well thought out interior and decor with all amenities needed. Overall Orchard Lodge is ideal for a couple or small family looking for a short-break in a countryside location with lovely facilities and setting.

A lovely lodge with a beautiful interior. Full of luxury and comfort. Gorgeous amenities, hot tub and pool! Seemed to be a lot of wasps and flies right outside the door into the garden which was an issue for us when wanting to keep the doors open or spend time sunbathing or in the tub. I think this may be due to the fruit on the trees attracting them (which can’t be helped!) Gorgeous gorgeous place for us to spend our honeymoon, thank you so much Ffion and Rob!

Lovely accommodation in a really peaceful and private location. The pool was a great benefit, especially when the weather wasn’t great. We were looking for somewhere to stay where we could just switch off for a few days and that’s exactly what we got.

Orchard Lodge is so lovely. The scandi decor was really nice . The kitchen was well equipped and the Nespresso coffee machine was great! The beds were really comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean and tidy.The welcome hamper was a lovely touch, and the dogs enjoyed the doggy treats ! We didn’t venture out far as we were there when we had a heatwave and it was too hot to take the dogs out. We were more than happy to stay at the lodge , relaxing ! It was everything we had hoped for and more. We will definitely return!

Fabulous week at Orchard Lodge. Beautiful lodge in a great location. Lots of relaxing, swimming, BBQ’s, walks and soaks in the hot tub. The fenced garden is ideal for pets!

Great getaway for our young family and dog! Lodge has everything you will need and all the small details are taken care off. Pool is a big feature that you only expect to get in a much larger house. Would highly recommend

The place is lovely and quiet, tranquil and relaxing in a lovely location. The hot tub and swimming pool are a major plus.

Its a perfect retreat, so beautifully secluded and peaceful. The lodge is well furnished and very comfortable, and the pool and hotub are fabulous.

Beautiful Lodge, had everything we could have hoped for. Gorgeous bedding. The hot-tub, pool and gym were a real bonus. Stunning walks around the area. An ideal place to completely decompress

Such a lovely place to stay, clean and well equipped with the added bonus of having use of a lovely pool and hot tub. We certainly recommend and hope to return again soon.

Perfect location to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday weekend

Had a truly relaxing stay. So comfortable, beautifully presented, slept so well here! Welcome hamper was lovely, incredible to have use of the pool and gym! Great location for exploring but also perfect for staying in with the log burner on and unwinding. Would highly recommend.

Really lovely stay at Orchard Lodge, dog friendly, beautifully decorated and lovely area. Fully recommend for a winter get away.The accommodation was lovely and just what was expected from the description and pictures. The place is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully decorated, thank you also for the lovely welcome hamper - a generous gift which starts the stay well.

Hosts were amazing, cottage was beautiful, cosy and clean. Pool was just a dream. The apples and pears were in full bloom and it was just a perfect retreat!

Second time we were there and we obviously love it. Perfect tranquil heaven with pool, hot tub, all the privacy and green pastures you want.Very hard to beat!

Beautiful peaceful relaxing stay - just what we needed. The dogs loved it too. Thank you.

Gorgeous property, very clean, lovely decor. A cosy, peaceful retreat in a lovely setting. Would definitely recommend.

Zuzanna at Boutique Retreats was super helpful. The retreat itself was excellent.

Swimming pool was wonderful as was the hot tub Everything you needed for a break away from it all

Luxury. Immaculate. Peaceful. Superb.

The Welcome hamper was a lovely surprise. The Lodge was cosy, clean and had everything we needed. Hot tub, pool and gym were a fabulous addition.

Beautiful location, very helpful owners. We had a great stay and would highly recommend..

The cottage was the perfect weekend escape, decor inside was lovely and modern but warm and inviting. The hot tub was great fun and we had the best time. Also the owners attention to detail with nice toiletries etc was lovely. Thank you!

A fantastic relaxing location, staying in high quality lodge/cottage. Very rare to find a cosy four bed property which has a hot tub and a virtually private heated indoor pool with gym.

We loved our stay at this cottage! So incredibly peaceful and cosy. Beautiful decor and very clean & luxurious. We went with our teenage daughter and we all loved the use of the pool and private hot tub. Came away feeling super relaxed!

The retreat is spectacular, the decor is classy, the location is stunning and private. Rob and Ffion have thought about absolutely everything, there is nothing that the property lacks! We have been twice this year as we love it so much!

Beautiful location, outstanding indoor heated pool.

Lovely quiet venue. Allowed us to unwind away from the rush of our work life. Access to pool, gym and hot tub was a brilliant aspect of this stay. Hosts were very responsive to any queries but otherwise not intrusive.

Our stay at Orchard Lodge was relaxing and peaceful, just what we needed. The lodge is perfectly done and in the most beautiful setting. The hosts were lovely, with personal little touches and nothing was too much hassle. They left us champagne to congratulate us on our wedding, recommended some treatment rooms nearby for a massage and facial and even turned the temperature up in the pool for our little ones. We’ll definitely be coming back.

Our family of 3 rated Orchard Lodge up there as one as our best holidays we have ever had. 10/10

As soon as we stepped inside Orchard Lodge we felt relaxed and at home. The Lodge is very well presented, beautifully furnished and has everything you need in a practical way as well as the creature comforts such as extremely comfortable beds to drift off in after a day out exploring. It's in a lovely setting which can be enjoyed from the hot tub plus, for the more energetic, the swimming pool is an extra treat not to be missed. If you want total peace and relaxation then Orchard Cottage is definitely the place to stay.

Orchard Lodge is absolutely stunning - we knew the moment we pulled in. It is the perfect getaway for us and our dogs. The garden is what we always miss whilst we are away with the dogs - it was great, the hot tub too. Beautiful attention to detail and we felt a million miles away from everything, despite knowing the owners were just there if needed. We will be back!

We had a fantastic week away at Orchard Lodge . It was lovely to be able to take our dogs on holiday to such a beautiful little lodge. The hosts were fantastic and friendly and the hot tub just perfect after long walks on the hills.Definitely recommend.

We absolutely loved Orchard Lodge. We met with friends and our 2 dogs for a long weekend. The owners catered for everything with lots of thoughtful details. Beautifully finished and styled, really cosy & clean and a lovely kitchen that was equipped with everything you would need. Couldn't recommend enough!

Separate laundry facilities were brilliant. Loved the location, so much to see in the area, Avebury, Marlborough and Bradford on Avon.

Truly stunning property! Exactly as described. Owners were very respectful of our privacy but were easy to contact when we had questions. Will definitely be visiting again in 2022.

It was the perfect setting for our annual friendsmas staycation.

If you seek private quiet relaxing times in a very well equipped retreat, then this is it. The owners (Rob and Ffion) were personable and helpful, getting the balance just right, pleasant interaction upon arrival and departure, with us knowing that they were available (telephone call) if ever needed. First rate. Thank you.

A stunning little retreat that is tucked away and very peaceful. The only problem was we had to leave. We very much look forward to returning in the future.

We had a fabulous time at Orchard Lodge. Nothing bad to say. Everything was perfect. :)

This was the perfect chilled getaway with friends. The four of us went to celebrate a friends' 30th. The hosts Rob and Ffion went the extra mile by providing some bday decorations which started off the weekend really well. The BBQ, hot tub, comfy beds and fluffy bathrobes made for a very luxurious and relaxing stay. We will be back!

Incredible place to relax and unwind. With excellent very thoughtful hosts. Thank you!

Perfect place for a couple to unwind and explore a beautiful area. Comfortable, well equipped and with lots of nice design touches. The hot tub is a lovely bonus and we used it every day. Rob and Ffion welcomed us and were there if we needed anything but did not intrude on our holiday.

It was an absolute pleasure to stay here. The owner kindly popped over to say hello and goodbye otherwise left us to it (and we felt like we had the privacy that we wanted even though their house is nearby). So lucky that it was brand spanking new. It has been put together beautifully and is well thought out with everything you need and some! We are very grateful for such a luxurious and peaceful place to escape to. Thank you
