About this property
What a sweet and historic cottage! Kettle Cottage, literally, is a gem of a holiday home tucked down a little cobbled alley off the Chipping Campden High Street. With records dating back many hundreds of years, this archetypal bolt hole was originally where the locals used to come to get their kettles mended, in fact today on the High Street you'll see a huge wall mounted kettle outside the main house! Now, instead of mending kettles, you can walk in under a minute to view an art gallery, enjoy a meal, a coffee or be enjoying a bracing walk on the Cotswold Way. Inside, the cottage is simply but well furnished, compact and ideal for two but able to accommodate four (there are two large bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs*). The rooms upstairs are large and light. It is a lovely little cottage in one of the Cotswolds most attractive and popular locations.
Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire is a market town, which defines the saying "good things come in small packages" as it proves itself to be a wonderful place for tourists to stay. 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 beds were very comfortable. However, we found the cottage lacked attention to detail in many areas. For example....the cottage felt quite tired, scuffed and chipped paintwork in places, empty bottle of bleach in the bathroom, no dessert spoons in kitchen therefore we had to eat with tablespoons, poor kitchen equipment, dirty grout around the shower and the blind didn't work properly in bathroom. But the main problem we encountered was the overall cleanliness of the property. The cottage was quite dusty especially under the bed where lots of hair and dust were very visible. Lots of spider webs in corners in the lounge were visible and unfortunately it just didn't feel like a deep clean had been done prior to our visit.

The cottage was clean comfortable and beautiful. We found taking a shower difficult as one of the bathrooms does not have a shower screen, and there is nowhere to hold on to as one steps out of the slippery bath. ( We are older, at 73 and 80 and 81 years old, so in retrospect we should have looked at this before booking the cottage.) Nonetheless, we had a marvellous time in Chipping Camden, visiting gardens and going to concerts, and thank the owners very much for their hospitality.
