About this property
The Old Brewhouse is a traditional, Cotswolds cottage based in the heart of the market town of Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire.
Tastefully furnished and featuring a lovely shared garden space, The Old Brewhouse is a wonderful place to call home with family, friends and your canine companion. After a day of walking, look forward to kicking back in the sitting room beside the woodburning stove, reflecting on the day’s events. Cross over to the kitchen and rustle up a hearty feast, making use of the electric oven and hob, microwave fridge/freezer, dishwasher and there’s even a washing machine, so you won’t have to pack your whole wardrobe! Spend those balmy evenings in the shared garden, sitting on the benches amongst the roses, with a favourite tipple in hand. Whisk away upstairs and make yourself at home in the bedrooms, with the master hosting a super-king-size bed, whilst there is also a double bedroom, served by a bathroom. The Old Brewhouse is a fantastic base for uncovering the best of the Cotswolds, whatever time of year. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1137066 and 1137061, together sleeping 13 guests.
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.

The cottage is in a very quiet location, but remarkably just a few steps from the centre of Chipping Campden with its lovely restaurants, pubs, shops and stunning walks from the door.

On arrival at the old Brew House it was very quaint and because of its location was a good base to explore Chipping Campden and the surrounding area Once in the property and settled it became apparent it wasnât quite the cosy little cottage we expected On settling down for the evening we lit the log burner which the door didnât seal properly so for the rest of the holiday the was a Smokey and soot smell so we didnât use this anymore The living room furniture was uncomfortable and in a poor state of repair due to clasped springs and arms of the chairs being worn with the stuffing coming out The light above the cooking hob did not work The was a bowl on the floor under the hand basin in the bathroom to catch the water that leaked this had been happening for some time due to the colour of the bowl and the skirting and wasnât pleasant to look at when using the bathroom The was a glass with a crack in it left on the shelf with all the other glasses and crockery this wasnât spotted until one of my party had started drinking from it In one of the bedrooms one of the window V-lux blinds was broken and would not hold down to keep closed so we had to improvise and tie it down each night to the window handle to keep it closed This was reported to the owner and also the house keeper and it was apparent that they knew about it and it had been like it for some time and felt I was just being brushed off The house keeping throughout the property was quite poor the was a large build up of dirt and dust underneath the living room furniture and as all the furniture was on castors they could have been moved to clean with ease Overall I and my party thing the property is very overrated for the money paid and would feel it would be in your interest to oversee the property before letting it out on your books in the future thatâs why I feel it is only a 3 out of 5

The secret door to the high street is great. A lovely cottage. If you require a cot it would be best to take your own travel cot as the one provided wasnât clean and smelled very musty and had cobwebs and spiders in it when we opened it.
