PROPERTY DETAILS:
Built in the 18th Century and Grade II Listed, Little Orchard is a detached Cotswold stone cottage.

This thatched cottage is full of character with many exposed beams throughout. Situated in a quiet, residential lane less than 5 minutes walk from the High Street, with its wide range of little shops, pubs and restaurants. The lane is a cul de sac that continues as a footpath and is the start of the Cotswold Way, leading up to Dover’s Hill (NT). There is full gas central heating.

Guests comments
As you know, we recently rented Little Orchard in Chipping Campden. I just want to tell you that we had one major problem with the rental - instead of renting the cottage for one week we should have arranged to rent it FOR THE WHOLE SUMMER!
We loved the cottage, we loved Chipping Campden and we loved our stay. We would recommend the cottage to anyone who wants a true English country experience. The recent refurbishment was done to exacting standards and the appointments were all TOP NOTCH! We were sure that at any moment there would be a knock on the door and when we opened it there would stand Miss Marple.
