The house was all we had hoped for and more. Just as if the owners had left and we moved in. Plenty of games to play, we used the hot tub, the croquet and other garden games. Kitchen a bit small if cooking etc for a large family, the two sitting rooms were very useful. The Piano was used but slightly out of tune but fun anyway. The long dining table in the kitchen area was a great boon, we ate every meal there. The weather was so good that the TV's were hardly used. I said I would not book again , not because anything was wrong but I am 72 and my prosthetic leg was playing up, it was a big family get together for my wife's 70th birthday so the old man had to put up with it. Parking for 4 cars was a bonus.

“Chipping house is very practical, ...”

Chipping house is very practical, especially for large families and is in a great location to explore the Cotswolds, South Wales and south west England. The owner was extremely helpful pre-stay and the house is well equipped. We had a fabulous week there and highly recommend it.

“A great home for a family ...”

A great home for a family get-together with lots of space for everyone. We had one child quietly reading in one room, with others playing next door and adults having a chat in another room - the recipe for a great holiday! It was good to be able to stroll to the pool, playground or cinema (all were put to good use during our week). But the best thing was that all of us, young and old, had a relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable week.

“The house was so comfortable, ...”

The house was so comfortable, spacious and airy. The kitchen was so well equipped with so much cutlery and crockery. We felt so relaxed in the property. Its situation was excellent and we felt we could all move happily to Wotton-under-Edge! Thank you for helping our family enjoy such a wonderful celebration.

“A perfect house for a perfect weekend away with friends”

The owner was so friendly and helpful prior to our arrival. The location of the house is perfect, within walking distance of all town amenities, lovely places to eat, and surrounded by beautiful walks. Parking for several cars within the grounds. The house wrapped us in warmth and relaxation, the atmosphere is welcoming and homely, and there are so many features that made our stay so special. Quality and attention to detail in such an historic family home. The hot tub with twinkling lights as darkness fell was gorgeous! Comfortable beds, fluffy towels, endless hot water, logs for the wood burners, so much China, cutlery and cooking utensils. Highly recommended

“The House was easy to find and ...”

The House was easy to find and perfectly located so that once cars were parked on arrival, everything was so accessible that cars were not used throughout our stay; walks from the House are extensive. The House itself is absolutely beautiful; warm and cosy, and the atmosphere so relaxing. The beds were comfortable and the bedding good quality, the towels were soft and the hot water plentiful, the bathrooms were warm. The House was so well maintained. The hot tub was an added bonus, with mood lighting and twinkling lights as darkness falls. We were a group of 9 friends and each of us agreed we would return. It was perfect in every way.

“Highly recommended”

Walking through the front door of Chipping House is like walking into an old friend's house. It is a wonderful house. The kitchen offers a great central place for everyone to catch up. The other rooms are comfortable and cosy. It is perfectly located to meander into Wotton under edge or as a springboard to Stroud or other beautiful places in the Cotswolds. I also need to recommend the owner, Cathrine. Nothing has been too much trouble. What a great combo.: a lovely house and a lovely owner! We'll be back!

“What a lovely hideaway - what fun!”

This house covered all bases for an amazing birthday weekend away from London! Firstly it's really easy to find - follow the instructions on the website and you really can't miss it. Secondly upon arrival, the set up as to how to get in and settled is clear as day too. And then - the fun was had! The owners of the house - whilst they have put rules in place - are wonderful and didn't even mind that we broke a glass (oops). The wifi did mean that for some of us workaholics we could get connected but mostly we just enjoyed the surroundings - went for a lovely walk up the hill on Saturday morning, and popped to the local pub The Royal Oak for lunch on sunday (again five stars - but head to their page!) Back at the house, once our food delivery came, we made the most of the kitchen, cooking up a storm (with a couple of glasses of wine of course) and playing some music. The house is very old and the walls thick, so we were able to turn the volume up comfortably without upsetting anyone - just make sure the windows are closed! And finally - the best part of the house - has to be the hot tub. What a treat!! We were in and out like yoyos! Basically, if you want a truly brilliant base in the Cotswolds, I couldn't recommend Chipping House enough.

“delightful house, well presented in nice village”

chipping house had everything we could have asked for , from soft comfy beds and fluffy white towels to a well stocked playroom and wellingtons for the children, a very fine large house, kitchen fully equipped, large dining room, study, log burners and plenty of space for our large family to mingle together or find a quiet corner for a bit of privacy, even a hot tub in the garden, set in a charming village with tearooms, pubs and an excellent chip shop, the house very well kept and immaculately clean, will certainly go back again

“Great house in great location catering for all your needs...”

From the moment we booked to the moment we left the service provided by Catherine the owner was fantastic. There is a website providing you lots of information about the house but upon enquiring Catherine called to talk through any questions we had and even called a week before our holiday to see if we needed anything - exceptional service. As for the house it's lovely for large groups with 2 sitting rooms, large kitchen dining room, nice garden and even a conservatory - so enough space for you to enjoy together or apart. This has to be one of the most well-equipped houses we've stayed in with everything you need for cooking, eating, and so many games and books to keep you entertained. The cleanliness of the house was great too. One of the nicest additional touches was the amount of local information provided - it's like a mini tourist information place with recommendations on things to do provided in nice folders along with useful information like how far away, prices etc - we used to have a flick through each day and decide what to do the next day! The house is in the centre of Wotton-under-Edge which has lovely little tearooms, independent shops, a swimming pool, cinema and a Tesco metro to get what you need so is an ideal location - plus not far to get to places you may want to visit. I can't say enough positive things about Chipping House - for large groups this place is perfect so book it and enjoy!

“Chipping House is superb - our best-ever holiday rental!”

Chipping House more than met our expectations. We are a three generation family group, 8 adults and 6 children, celebrating a significant birthday together and the accommodation suited us perfectly. Everything, from the generous space inside and out, the standard of furnishings, kitchen equipment, cleanliness etc was of a very high standard and we would not fault a single thing! Catherine phoned and emailed us before our weekend to check our requirements and made lots of helpful suggestions of things to see and do - we just wish we had booked a week. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed exploring the town, walking on the Cotswolds and swimming in the local pool.

“Truly excellent accommodation and location for the larger family party”

We were a family group of eleven encompassing three generations. The accommodation at Chipping House, the furnishings and the equipment were all first class. The gregarious and those seeking a bit of peace and quiet were both catered for. Wotton under Edge is an interesting town with very good amenities : a good selection of pubs and eateries and the local Tesco and Co-op are very well stocked - in fact, as much variety and choice as the bigger supermarkets in nearby Dursley. Easy access by road to Bath, Bristol and Gloucester. If you are a N.T. member (or even if not) there are a number of interesting properties in the area. In particular we found Snowshill Manor really fascinating. For the golfer I can recommend Cotswold Edge G.C : a lovely course with great views and reasonable green fees. We have stayed at Chipping House three times and I am sure we will be going back at some time in the future and look forward to luxuriating in the hot tub ( which was not insitu at the time of our stay).

“Perfect house and location”

We are a large group of old school friends and partners. Great E mail from the owner before our trip with a wealth of useful info and tips. Perfect location in the town for access to the pubs and restaurants. House faultless with everything as described. Highly recommended.

“Perfect family home for a wedding party to stay ...”

Our family, including daughters, spouses and children from the USA and Australia, had a wonderful stay in Chipping House the week leading up to another daughter's wedding at Woodchester Mansion on 31 August. The weather was perfect and Chipping House was everything we could have hoped for, and more. Our family members ranged from 8 to 87 and the house worked so very well for everyone to enjoy. It is spacious, comfortable, fun and welcoming, and was more than adequately equipped, with tasteful beds and bedding, and a fabulous array of cooking pots, crockery and cutlery. We had memorable family suppers around the wonderful dining room table. The garden was also enjoyed by all, from the children who enjoyed playing games to others who enjoyed identifying the many plants and flowers in the plentiful sunshine as the garden faces west. Bedroom 1 is luxurious and elegant and was just right for the bride to get ready in for her wedding. All in all an unforgettable experience.

“Warm, comfortable and very inviting house”

Great location within the town, house is really well appointed and great for sharing with a large group. Lots of space to lose yourself with a book and a glass of wine or just chat with friends. Lovely holiday, would definately visit again - Wotton is an unspoilt Cotswold town with lovely amenities and great local walking on the Cotswold Way. Also great communications from the owners at all times.

“Superb Venue for Walking the Cotswold Way”

I stayed from 28th June to 5th July with a group of 10 friends as we were walking parts of the Cotswolds Way. Chipping House was just excellent for all our party and there were many little corners for a relaxing time. It was especially good as some of us could watch Wimbledon in the Library in the evening whilst others enjoyed a good conversation and evening drink in the lounge. The Summer House was particularly popular with the Walkers enjoying afternoon tea and even a wee sleep after our daily long walk. The owner was particulary helpful in giving advise on attractions in the area which we found very useful.
