About this property

Be welcomed into the homely sitting room that is home to a welcoming two-seater sofa and two armchairs for you to slouch into after a long day, whilst the open fire keeps you warm and comforted.

Two steps lead you into the well-equipped kitchen that is perfect for making delicious home-cooked meals with your loved ones.
Completing the ground floor is a stylish shower room with a lovely Velux window and a walk-in shower, perfect for a wash down before heading to bed.
When sleep calls, head upstairs where you will find two inviting bedrooms; the master has an eye-catching Cotswold stone chimney breast and fitted wardrobes with a king-size bed, the second bedroom has an attractive Cotswold stone feature wall and a double bed where you can get lost in the pages of a good book from the selection the owners have on offer.
In the morning, make yourself a warming mug of tea and head out into the patio garden, which has stone steps leading you up to the lawned tiers which are bordered by pretty shrubs, as you continue on the path to the top terrace which houses a table set, perfect for al fresco dining and breathing in the fresh country air.
Enjoy an invigorating shower and head out for the day into the heart of Chipping Campden, which is one of the best-loved and most picturesque market towns in England, where you can enjoy a warming tea at Campden Coffee Co before heading to Little Oak Vineyard, an award-winning vineyard where you can try and buy wonderful wines.
Head over to Hidecote, home to sizeable 20th century gardens with narrow paths, lawn games, two lovely cafés and great views, run by the National Trust.

This market town defines the saying "good things come in small packages" as it proves itself to be a wonderful place for tourists to stay. Chipping Campden sits in the northern part of the Cotswolds and boasts many historical buildings from St. James' church where the Chipping Camden Music Festival is held every year, to the early 17th century market hall upon which the town prides itself. Not only does the town have a rich history but much more, the high street is laced with charming Cotswold stone buildings with a range of shops and pubs. Nearby there are several beautiful, formal gardens for you to wander through. Chipping Campden has held its own 'Olimpick Games' since the early 1600s including peculiar sports such as 'shin-kicking', most certainly worth lining your holiday up with to experience something so unique. For a dose of famous history, head to the birthplace of William Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon just 12 short miles away, it offers some charming little buildings, bookshops, theatres and museums.

Very comfortable beds & good location.

However it was closer to the road and hence traffic was busy at times. Parking was a slight issue as several of the neighbours clearly had their own parking spots in the lay-by either side so you were left with trying to find a spot on the road. However this aside the cottage was beautiful and we had a very relaxing holiday and would thoroughly recommend a stay.

It would be nice to find some way of providing some hanging/storage for the small back bedroom as my son and his partner just lived out of their rucksacks. Also, a pair of scales for the kitchen would be great. Guessing when cooking rice and pasta is a bit haphazard! We had a lovely time, though, and absolutely loved the garden. Thank you!
