About Orchard Cottage

Orchard Cottage is a pretty, former gardener’s cottage packed full of character. The cosy property boasts low doorways, a cosy open fire and a private enclosed garden, set within the sweeping parklands of Gunby Hall.

Take advantage of the cottage’s unique position and follow walking trails through the estate.   Explore the gardens before the visitors arrive and see the rose garden in full bloom. As a guest you’re also invited to explore the main house free of charge. 

Head a little further afield and you’ll soon reach the Lincolnshire coast. Enjoy a bracing coastal walk before heading home for a cosy dinner. The historic city of Lincoln, with its famous cathedral, is just under an hour away from the cottage offers a day full of culture and shopping, enough to keep the whole family entertained.
