Description
Summary
Barn End Cottage is a beautiful semi-detached property, which sleeps a maximum of five guests, in two well presented bedrooms (with the +1 option being a single sofa bed in the living room), with a family bathroom. The open plan living area has been finished in a contemporary style, yet retains many lovely character features, including exposed wooden beams and a cosy wood burning stove.
The character of the property is complemented by elegant décor and modern facilities, including wireless internet access, a Smart TV with access to Now TV and a well-equipped kitchen. There is off-street parking available on the shared driveway for two cars.
Location
Barn End Cottage is situated in the picturesque village of Broad Campden, surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside and farmland. This peaceful and idyllic village benefits from having a well-regarded pub and an historic parish church, notable for its unusual round bellcote.
Broad Campden is off the beaten track, and therefore avoids heavy tourist traffic, allowing visitors to feel a real sense of rural life, such as enjoying the many country walks which fall within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Broad Campden is just south of Chipping Campden, one of the most recognisable market towns of the Cotswolds, which is home to a wide range of shops, tea rooms and restaurants. Further afield places such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Blenheim Palace and Oxford are also within easy reach.

The smoke and CO detectors operate on a sound only basis and, therefore, those who have serious impairment of hearing may not be able to hear the alarm systems and could be at risk.
Smoking
No smoking is permitted throughout the property.
Photographs
In order to provide you with as much detail of our properties as possible, we sometimes use wide angle photography, which can make certain rooms, or spaces, appear larger than they actually are. Wherever possible, we try to include a floorplan, with detailed dimensions of rooms and areas.
If you have any queries regarding the size of any rooms or spaces, please do not hesitate to contact us.
