The Dutchy - sleeps 14 guests in 7 bedrooms

Sitting off a quiet country lane, The Dutchy is surrounded by beautiful countryside and magical views over the Vale of Evesham. Beyond the woodland, on the other side of the land lies Dover's Hill which forms part of the renowned Cotswold Way trail. The nearest pub is just a mile down the hill, whilst the beautiful ancient wool town of Chipping Campden is a five-minute drive.

This sympathetically restored pair of barns offer the opportunity to stay in a delightfully rural setting, yet with everything you need close to hand. Ledge View is a three-bedroom barn, transformed from its former life as a Nissen Hut, whilst Hill View Rise is a four-bedroom, reverse-living Dutch Barn. Both feature well-equipped kitchens, and spacious living areas to relax and unwind.

The Dutchy sits in a large garden with space to really enjoy the open air. Organise garden games, lawn picnics or simply relax in the sunshine, listening to the birds. The sunsets from here are pretty memorable too. Dogs are welcome and there is parking for eight cars.
