Key Features
Booking and payment
Character Cottages is a marketing agency and we do not own any of the cottages listed on our website. We manage a proportion of cottages within our portfolio and the remaining properties are managed by a third party property manager or the property owner – your pre-arrival email will contain confirmation and contact details for your property manager. Bookings made via us form a legal agreement directly between you and the property owner.
For bookings commencing more than 10 weeks in advance, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required to confirm the booking. The balance payment is then due 10 weeks prior to arrival.
All payments are made subject to the cancellation policy set out in the standard Booking Conditions.
Security deposits
Security deposits are not required (please note that guests are still liable for any damage or additional cleaning required as a result of their actions).

The maximum occupancy of the property is four guests, at any point during your stay. Unauthorised over occupancy is a breach of our terms and conditions and may result in the cancellation of your booking and additional charges. Please consult us prior to booking if you wish to discuss the possibility of having more than four guests at the property.
Babes in arms do not count towards the occupancy figure, however, due to space restrictions, the occupancy figure may only be exceeded by one baby.

A small quantity of initial consumables is provided for your convenience (eg. tea, coffee, sugar, dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, soap, washing powder, toilet rolls, etc), however, you should not expect the quantity of these provisions to be sufficient for the duration of your stay.
Accessibility, health and safety
This is an old, Grade II listed property and has many character features, including narrow and steep stairs, sloping ceilings, multiple floors and steps from the living room to the kitchen, which could pose difficulty to guests with limited mobility, or carrying babies, both in terms of their general movement and their ability to quickly exit the house in the event of an emergency.
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 or vaping 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.

Other Guest Feedback:
-"The welcome hamper was a nice addition. For tall people like myself (6’2) there was a lot of ducking in places, however that is to be expected of those buildings and their age. Overall a quaint cottage, good location and nice feel.", Christian, September 2020
-"We stayed here for a long weekend and the location is perfect for exploring the Cotswolds. We actually found the town the most charming of all the places we visited and it was nice to just walk out the door and straight onto the high street. The welcome hamper was really luxurious and we enjoyed using the fireplace. The fridge is a bit small so pack lightly if you are planning a long weekend of cooking but otherwise all amenities we great!", Yuka, August 2020
-"Wonderful host, cottage was extremely clean and tidy and in a great location for walks around the area.”, Vasudha, August 2020
-"Charming cottage, incredibly clean, unbeatable location!", Liz, July 2020
-"We had a lovely stay at the Miller’s cottage. It was cosy and had everything we needed. Great location for exploring the local area with a number of options to eat close by. Being an old building it was a little cold so I would recommend taking extra blankets. Lastly, the stairs are quite steep so bear this in mind for anyone elderly/mobility difficulties. Overall we would highly recommend the Miller’s cottage and would stay again. Thank you!", Shona & family, March 2020

-"Millers Cottage is absolutely stunning and everything we were looking for of the Cotswolds! Where do I start....the log burner, the free standing bath, the DVD's, the comfiest beds EVER, the hamper and a lovely pub (the Eight Bells) right opposite - perfect! The location also couldn't have been better. You are right in the middle of Chipping Campden where there are some lovely shops, pubs and restaurants (we had the best breakfast at Huxleys - would highly recommend) and the Cotswolds Way also starts here (we did a beautiful 20km walk to Broadway & the tower and back).
