A beautiful cottage in a beautiful peaceful village. Sad that there is no local pub or shop but it seems to be the way things are nowadays in these small villages. This does not, however detract from the cottage. It is cosy but spacious enough for 2 people. A lovely log fire and well equipped kitchen. I particularly liked the bedroom which was large and airy with plenty of storage space. We had 2 cars and, whilst there is only space on the drive for one, there are plenty of spots on the road nearby to park. The owner was extremely helpful and easy to contact. I’m pretty sure we will return.

Ivy Cottage was beautiful. I particularly enjoyed the wood burner and the kitchen which has a fantastic range and pretty much any cooking equipment you could want. Chedworth is a gorgeous little village. Would recommend.
