About this property

Boutique cottage in the heart of Chipping Campden, a Cotswold gem.

Imagine a scene of tumbling hills, patchwork countryside and bluebell woods. Nestled in that landscape is a town full of honey-coloured architectural gems, authentic pubs and great shops. Here you'll find the Old Studio. It's the perfect accommodation for a relaxing couples retreat, an ideal family-friendly base for touring all the many nearby sights or a cosy meeting point for old friends.

The Old Studio is a beautiful Cotswold stone detached cottage with plenty of space to comfortably accommodate 4 people.

Owned by the couple behind a renowned Cotswold Interior Design firm, the property underwent an extensive renovation in 2021.

The aim was to create a holiday cottage that felt more like a luxury boutique hotel. Particular attention has been paid to the quality of the beds (Vi-sprung), upholstery (George Smith) and shower (Fired Earth). The interior is light and airy. Good quality, natural materials have been used throughout.

From the front door, you walk into a light-filled, open-plan living, dining & kitchen area. The kitchen is well-equipped with plentiful cutlery, crockery and glassware. There's a lovely shower room downstairs with a spacious cubicle and a good quality powerful shower. There's also a small utility room with a washing machine.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms, a small family bathroom and a study area on the landing. The rooms are furnished with Vi-sprung beds and have wooden Venetian blinds at the windows.

Please be aware that, like most Cotswold cottages, the bedrooms have been built into the eaves of the building and have restricted head height in some areas.

There are large french doors in the living room which open out to a sunny paved dining area with a dining table and four chairs. There's further outdoor seating for the exclusive use of guests in the shared garden. There is secure off-road parking for 1 car and further free road parking nearby.

Small, well-behaved dogs are welcome. We ask that they are not left alone in the property or allowed up onto the furniture.

The owners live at the other end of the garden. They aim to strike a happy balance between being available to give advice and assistance when needed, while also giving guests plenty of privacy to enjoy a relaxing holiday

The setting is in a secluded part of Chipping Campden away from the hustle and bustle of the High Street but within a few minutes walk of all its' amenities. The town is well provided for with many restaurants, cafes, pubs and a good selection of local shops including excellent delis and a couple of small supermarkets. We also enjoy a wide variety of galleries and buildings of historical importance. Campden is a well-located town within an easy drive of Cheltenham, Bath, Stratford upon Avon, Warwick and Oxford. It's in the heart of the English Cotswolds, which is designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Fabulous accommodation, great location!
The listing information is exactly what you get. A beautiful, spacious and secure two bed/two bathroom cottage with all amenities provided. Very private and secure access for parking and great hosts, although we spent most of our time enjoying the outdoors and surrounding historic towns. Highly recommend this place for The Cotswolds!

Cozy cottage in the Cotswolds
The cottage is ideally located in a quiet, safe area with all amenities to make you feel at home. If you’re planning to do any cooking however, you’ll need to bring all necessary pantry supplies. Helen & Michael are friendly & accommodating hosts & we happily recommend the property.

Beyond Expectations!
Our expectations of the “Old Studio” were high based on the previous reviews, but somehow these perfect hosts managed to exceed them. This is a beautifully finished, perfectly furnished, and very well-equipped home. We very much appreciated how spotless it was upon our arrival. You will love the quiet tucked away location just a short stroll from the shops and restaurants of Chipping Campden. Thank you, Helen and Michael, for allowing us to enjoy eight nights in this little bit of heaven.

The perfect Cotswold break
We had a wonderful pre Christmas break in this lovely cottage. Communication prior to our arrival was excellent as well as during our stay. Thank you Helen. The Cottage is perfect for a short break- comfy beds and a decent shower. The kitchen is well equipped and the overall layout of the cottage is ideal for a family of 4. The local area is so lovely- a picture perfect Cotswolds village. There are great dog walks on your doorstep and Chipping Camden highstreet is a mere 10 minute walk away. The village offers some great restaurants such as Michael’s and Da Luigis, both of which are dog friendly. There’s also a deli and some other nice shops and pubs, so a decent amount of places to visit. If you want to venture a bit further, the village of Broadway is worth the 10 minute drive. Thank you for a fantastic break.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello
We're Helen and Michael and we live at the other end of the garden.
We moved to Chipping Campden in 2014 but we’ve both had connections with the Cotswolds for many years.
We run an interior design business and we’ve made every effort to ensure the Old Studio is as comfortable as our own home.


Why they chose this property

We’re happy to share our enthusiasm for the Cotswolds and give you lots of suggestions so that you spend your vacation loving the area as much as we do!
We aim to strike a happy balance between being available to give advice and assistance when needed, while also giving guests plenty of privacy to enjoy a relaxing holiday.
We're hidden away in a quiet neighbourhood yet only a few minutes walk to our stunning town centre. You will definitely need a map to get here first time but the secluded location will give you secure off road parking directly outside the cottage with further free road parking just 100 yards away.

What makes this property unique

We've created a relaxed, laid-back luxurious interior. We wanted to create a space that feels authentic, interesting and that tells a story. We mix new with old, we support local suppliers and we try to reflect local history. Please ask us for more information if you would like to know more.
