The recently refurbished accommodation comprises a small porch, opening into a modern kitchen/living area complete with wood burner. There are 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom sleeping a maximum of 5 with 1 double, 1 twin and an overflow double sofa bed in the living room area.

Chalford is in some of the most beautiful countryside in the whole range of the Cotswolds (and even the country). Nestled in the Golden Valley, one of Stroud's Five Valleys, Chalford is described as the Alpine Village with its steep hills and houses perched along small donkey tracks. A walkers' paradise with beautiful scenery around every corner. The narrow High Street winds its way through the village past an amazing array of characterful cottages. Chalford was once a centre for the wool industry, with many Listed mills dotted along the old Thames and Severn Canal. Many houses you still can't drive to and the community of Chalford has even re-established use of a donkey for grocery deliveries! In the village is a small shop run by volunteers selling a selection of lovely organic goodies and a short walk away are some great pubs for beer, wine, good food and stunning sunsets.

Chalford Cottage

Denise P Tyne & Wear
Review Submitted: August 5, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We stayed here with our 3 children (aged 14, 11 and 4) and we all had a wonderful time. The cottage was very traditional and cosy but also had everything that a family would need. It was very clean and tidy, and we would definitely recommend it. The location is ideal with plenty to see and do in the area and the village of Chalford itself is very picturesque. The owners are a very friendly and accommodating couple. Excellent all round.

The place to be in The Cotswolds!!

LTPONE United Kingdom
Review Submitted: June 1, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
It was such a lovely place to come for a relaxing, peaceful holiday. We had the most wonderful time staying in the cute little village of Chalford and this quaint, well equipped cottage was just the icing on the cake.
The owners are more than happy to help you out with whatever you need, don't impose and are extremely friendly. The cottage was a perfect base for us being so central to many popular places to visit including Bath, Stone Henge and not forgetting being virtually in the heart of the Cotswolds.
Highly recommended for a truely magical experience.

How life should be.

donjohn Exeter
Review Submitted: April 14, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Don’t normally do reviews but we had such a wonderful time I thought I should.
If you don’t know this part of the Cotswold’s then you are in for a treat and where better to start than staying in this wonderful Cottage in the heart of this very beautiful village of Chalford. The cottage is spacious, warm and well equipped and part of what can only be described as a very grand house sitting in the middle of the village. Your hosts are helpful yet discrete, in the mornings you wake up to nothing but the sound of birds singing in the trees. If you are early enough you can have fresh bread and croissants delivered to your door by the village Donkey much to the amazement of our two year old daughter. You will soon discover as you walk through the village that everyone is very friendly and life has slowed down to a very comfortable pace.
Everything in the village is within walking distance and there are some wonderful walk along the canal or up onto the common land most of which will take in wonderful pubs most of which will serve wonderful food and good ale as well as your fizzy larger.
Conclusion: Do I really have to go back to work next week?
