Reviews of Chipping House

"Chipping House provides excellent accommodation for a wide range of ages from babies to great grand parents. Spacious but cosy it provides separate living room and playroom along with outside play/sun room. Hot tub a big bonus for all guests. The location is very central to the small friendly town of independent shops, 2 minutes from swimming pool and cinema with a constantly changing programme of entertainment. Particularly successful for our party were trips to Cattle Country, Berkley Castle (check open days), and Newark Park - a unique NT property."

"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 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."

"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."

"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!"

"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)."

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.

A comprehensive manual was available so we were well able to deal with the various electric/electronic appliances. My grandson made good use of the children's room and the lawn at the rear of the house. On the Sunday several of our English relatives joined us for lunch and we were able to sit sixteen guests around the table (and there were enough Port Meirion dishes!). As our holiday developed we began to appreciate Chipping House's excellent location. We were able to visit many of the beautiful Cotwold villages (use a GPS!), explore Bath, and enjoy a short hike along the Cotswold Way which passes close to Wotton Under Edge. A day trip was also made to Tintern, Chepstow and the Welsh Folk Museum at St. Fagans. When we needed a little help in locating something we went to the tourist office less than seventy metres from Chipping House. They were always very helpful. Of course, we ate many meals at Chipping House but occasionally, after a long trip, we thorougly enjoyed a meal at the Swan.

Catering was really easy in the excellently equiped kitchen and we all enjoyed the spacious feel to the rooms and the comfortable elegant furnishings. We were a bit unsure of booking somewhere in a town, but actually it was ideal for a gathering such as ours. The owner could not have been more helpful. And then God sent the sunshine - life does not get much better. The children wanted us to buy the house!!"

"Lovely large house for family gathering. The furnishings were child friendly, which was ideal. Lovely enclosed garden, unfortunately lots of rain so not used too much!"

"We thought Chippping House had a wonderful atmosphere. We had a fantastic family gathering of our children and grandchildren from around the world and everyone felt at home as soon as we walked in. We were overwhelmed by the calibre of the toys - something for everyone - sandpit, slide, paddling pool and a lovely dolls house. All the cooks in the family loved the kitchen, much better equipped than most rented ones we have used.
