CLASSIC COTSWOLDS CHARM
WITH UNMATCHED CONVENIENCE

THE
ACCOMMODATIONS: High Street Cottage
offers history, cozy comfort, and superb location. Some portions of this lovely cottage
date from 150 year ago and have been beautifully redone to provide all the modern
conveniences while maintaining the history of the cottage. Located in a residential area
of the town’s main street, this cottage is comfortable accommodation on three floors.
The cottage sleeps 4-5 persons in two bedrooms on the second and third floors, where there
is also a full bathroom (with tub/shower). One bedroom has a king bed and a single bed.
The other has a double bed. The ground floor features a living and kitchen/dining area
with authentic open beams, stone walls, color TV, video player, CD & DVD players, and
radio. Steps at the rear of the cottage lead up to a gravel path, which winds through the
backyard. At the top of the yard is a patio area furnished with wooden chairs and a table
where you can sit and relax in an ideal setting for families with children.
THE
SETTING: High Street Cottage is along the
residential end of High Street in Chipping Campden, without question one of the most
charming of northern Cotswold towns. Chipping Campden’s High Street has been called
the most perfect high street ("main street" in U.S. parlance) in England.
Although all the shopping and restaurants you will need are but a short walking distance
from High Street Cottage, you will need a car (free on-street parking) for touring
throughout the Cotswolds.

THE LOCATION: Chipping
Campden is ideally situated for touring throughout Cotswolds—from Georgian/Roman Bath
to scholarly Oxford to Shakespeare’s Stratford-on-Avon, and all the romantically
classical English villages for which the region is best known. Day-trips outside the
region are also quite manageable, to destinations as varied and attractive as Salisbury and Stonehenge, Tintern Abbey, Warwick Castle, the
Welsh borders, and even London.
For many, the region known as the Cotswolds
represents the best of traditional England. Chipping Campden is in the northern—and
best-known—part of the Cotswolds, famed for its numerous villages and towns of
multiple hyphens — Stow-on-the-Wold, Moreton-in-Marsh, Bourton-on-the-Hill
— and
many others without hyphens: Broadway, Chipping
Norton, Upper and Lower Slaughter, Winchcombe, to name but a few. Using |
|
frequent rail services from nearby Moreton-in-Marsh, Central
London may be reached in about 90 minutes.
