A fantastic retreat from the world but within strolling distance of the local pub and five minutes from Chipping Campden. Quirky, interesting, hidden rooms not even mentioned in the description, well equipped and comfy!
Mr Vassie July 2024
Extremely peaceful and quiet with beautiful views. Characterful house with lots of stairs and somewhat quirky layout due to the South facing extension. Excellent location for visiting well known villages and other attractions.
Mr Rowley July 2024
'We had a wonderful and relaxing time in this beautiful and well equipped property, which provided an ideal base for us to see many of delightful local attractions in the Cotswolds'.
Mrs Healey June 2024
We had a very enjoyable week at the Summer House. The location is superb! Being very close to Chipping Campden and walking distance to the Ebrington Arms with it's fabulous outside garden and good food was a bonus. It's a very beautiful house full of character but given its age people should be aware that there are steep stairs, so it may not be suitable for anyone very elderly or disabled. We really appreciated the welcome pack and the warm welcome from the owner. ...

Very good and not so good! Beautiful and peaceful location. The house had a rustic charm and was tastefully furnished. History of the property was quite interesting. Very helpful owners that lived in the grounds and helped when we encountered a problem with our vehicle. That was much appreciated. Great walk across the fields to Chipping Campden which is a beautiful Cotswold town and well worth a visit. Lovely farm shop and cafe which is a 10 min walk from the house. We also visited Blenheim Palace. Unfortunately some areas were a big let down. I will mention some…Badly stained soft furnishings and various maintenance issues which should never occur in a holiday rental property. First floor WC was unacceptablely soiled! No dishwasher tablets or any cleaning materials in the kitchen except washing up liquid and caustic soda. No blind/curtain on first floor big bathroom window which may or may not bother guests. I’m sure these issues will be sorted out for future guests! ...

We're so glad that you enjoyed this historic property and the beautiful grounds.There is a pot on the kitchen side where the dishwasher tablets are stored and the cleaning items are stored in a high cupboard in the kitchen - we're really sorry if you were unable to locate these. Thanks for letting us know about a few maintenance / cleanliness concerns - we'll be sure to get these areas addressed. We're pleased that you enjoyed your time at The Summer House overall and hope you would consider a return stay in the future. Julie, Customer Support ...
