All payments are made subject to the cancellation policy set out in the standard Booking Conditions.

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.

Other Guest Feedback:
-"What a lovely cottage! Small, but perfectly formed. So full of character and very comfortable. The kitchen has been redone since the photos when we booked and was even nicer! It had everything we needed. The shower room is small, but functional.
We absolutely loved it here and would love to stay again. I'd recommend taking some slippers, as the natural stone floors are a little uneven - this is not a criticism, it added to the character!", Lisa, June 2021
-"We had a lovely stay at Molly’s Cottage with our two kids. Perfect country getaway in a gorgeous historic village in the Cotswolds. Well located for walks, local amenities and exploring the area. The cottage was the perfect size for our family and back garden was lovely to sit in the sun. We had some issues with the WiFi but contacted the owner who sorted it out. Good communication and easy access. We will definitely come back to visit!", Rebekah, April 2021
-"We were slightly apprehensive about staying away from home during these covid times. We needn’t have been worried! Prior to Check-In we were given a thorough brief of what cleaning steps are followed between stays. It really put our minds at rest that the cottage is covid secure. I would recommend this lovely cottage to anyone. Thanks for having us!", Charlotte, October 2020
-"Lovely location", Esther, October 2020
-"My second visit to Molly's Cottage, this time with another friend. While the interior was necessarily more bare this time because of Covid, the cottage provided a lovely place to relax and serve as a base for exploring the area. All the restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops are within very easy walking. Molly's Cottage has comfortable beds, a quaint lounge and a kitchen opening up to a narrow garden down to the stream and fields beyond. The stairs up to the bedrooms are a bit steep but that didn't bother us. It was perfect!", Rachel, September 2020
-"Lovely little cottage. Great location for what the town has to offer, plus great walks from the front door. There were some minor issues with internet while we were there that we were informed of before we even realised, and were fixed very speedily. Landlord and rental team were very friendly and helpful. Definitely would look to stay again when back in the area.", Ben, August 2020
-"We spent a lovely relaxing week in this lovely cottage in the lovely location, Chipping Campden.", Jonathan, August 2020
-"Lovely cottage in a great location! There were some local walks recommended by the host with photos and step by step directions - such a lovely touch that helped us to see some of the local area. The cottage is right on the high street so only steps away from restaurants. We were visiting during lock-down so had been a bit nervous about cleanliness etc but our experience was perfect - the cottage was spotless and the check in / check out process was very clear. Will be back again after COVID so we can make the most of all the tea rooms / restaurants that were sadly closed when we visited.", Katie, July 2020

-"Four of us and the dog had a great weekend at Molly's Cottage. It is a delightful property right on the High Street of Chipping Campden. It is a very characterful cottage with an open log fire, beamed ceilings and a lovely garden. We felt very comfortable in the cottage and Chipping Campden has lots of excellent pubs, restaurants and tea rooms. We would not hesitate to recommend this property and are hoping to return in the summer to take advantage of the garden.", Sandra, January 2020
-"Lovely Cottage so convenient for shops etc enjoyed our stay and would return , one point out of date food left in fridge and also cupboards think this needs checking before each let.", Elizabeth, January 2020
-"A great little space in a perfect location! I’d recommend doing a few of the walks that are provided in the information package on arrival. The cottage is a stone throw away from the Red Lion pub and the Noel Arms pub which both have delicious food and a great atmosphere! Chipping Camden is a great place to stay in the Cotswolds!”, Amelia, January 2020

-"We really loved staying here and would definitely come back. The style of the house is old (so be aware the bathroom is downstairs but the bedrooms are up), but they've made it so cosy...comfy beds, cute chairs and a fireplace to watch TV in front of. the back patio is cute and if it's nice you can hang out in the back by a stream. It's within a very short walk of about 7-8 restaurants so it's very convenient, and a great location for doing walks on the public paths. We took several different ones to nearby villages. Loved it and hope we get to return someday!”, Amy, October 2019

The garden is lovely, with seating and a table both next to the house and at the far end of the garden near the grazing sheep. The location in the town is ideal--easy walking distance to shops, cafes, etc. Chipping Campden is a great base for exploration of the Cotswolds. We highly recommend Molly's.", John, July 2019
