Orchard House is a bed-and-breakfast in Badsey that serves as a comfortable base for exploring both the Vale of Evesham and the Cotswolds.
You'll be treated to a hearty breakfast each morning before heading out, and the owners offer genuine local hospitality that makes the place feel welcoming and genuine.
Badsey is well worth exploring in its own right. The village has strong agricultural roots, particularly in market gardening, which built the Vale of Evesham's reputation for produce. The name Orchard House reflects this directly—the area has long specialized in growing fruit and vegetables, with asparagus being especially significant to its history. During your stay, you can take walks through the village and along the footpaths around it, where you'll still see traces of the old orchard landscapes. St. James church, standing in the village for centuries, offers a glimpse into how the community has endured through various changes.
The location offers real flexibility for venturing further. Evesham, the main market town, is just a short drive away and features pleasant river walks, the remains of a medieval abbey, and decent shopping. Venture further into the Cotswolds and you'll reach Broadway, with its elegant high street and distinctive tower, or Chipping Campden, where the stone architecture is particularly appealing. This is an excellent choice if you want to stay in a genuine working village while keeping well-known attractions comfortably accessible.
