The village of Rudyard enjoys a delightful countryside location. A certain Lockwood Kipling and his fiancée Alice Macdonald met on the shores of the lake and named their first-born son after the place. Rudyard Kipling (1865 – 1936), poet, novelist and short story writer has made this Staffordshire village world famous. The lake, a beauty spot and one of the most romantic places in Britain, is a family centre for picnics, boating, walking and fishing as well as the steam railway. Nearby Leek is a thriving town with good pubs and restaurants and many antique shops. Nearby the beautiful Manifold Valley cuts a course through superb scenery and is a delight for both walkers and cyclists with the "Manifold Trail".

Previous visitors' comments about Orchard Cottage:
We felt at home very soon. There was plenty of room in the cottage, with excellent equipped bathrooms and a beautiful landscape. The neighbourhood is quiet, Supermarket is 4 miles away and major shopping is 15 miles.
Mrs Enzinger, Ingolstadt, June 2011
Yes, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. It was very relaxing. The cottage was very comfortable and Rudyard Lake was a short distance walk.
Mrs Burke, Burton-on-Trent, April 2011
Orchard Cottage was really large and had plenty of room. There was a lovely big dining room so we could sit together for meals, and a lovely living room for wonderful evenings in.
Miss Stevens, Faringdon, April 2011
A well appointed and maintained property.
