For the comfort of future guests, we ask that dogs remain downstairs, stay off the furniture and that no trace of a dog remains after your departure.

Other Guest Feedback:
-"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 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
