Guest Reviews of Chipping House: 2010-2017

Ref: 0420 1

Chipping House was ‘furlonged’ as a holiday house in 2017 when Anthony was diagnosed with a form of leukaemia and we decided to move our family back in to enjoy our precious time together.

Anthony’s cancer is now manageable (fingers crossed) and so we have decided to re-open once the corona virus has subsided.

Here is what our guests thought of Chipping House when it was open from 2010 to 2017. It is a long read and so make yourself a cup of tea, put your feet up and dream about how to spend your holiday... Catherine Alexander, Spring 2020

2017

The Gallie Family from Essex New Year 2017

Chipping House is G – I – A – N - T

Verity L’s Family July 2017

Chipping House provides excellent accommodation for a wide range of ages from babies to great grandparents.

The Gallie Family from Essex New Year 2017 Today we arrived at Chipping House in the Cotswolds. I am very excited. I am sharing a bedroom with my sister. There is a lounge with music in it and a playroom with lots and lots of books and games and a big TV. I found some fancy dress outfits. So we all dressed up in dresses and animal costumes and all sorts of hats.

Janet Brown from Staffordshire February 2017 A special thank you for letting us you use your home to celebrate my daughter’s hen party. The house was just perfect in every way. We shall be back. My daughter’s work colleague spotted on social media that we were at the house and she was there too last year – how bizarre. Thank you for making the weekend so enjoyable.

Jean Perry from Ireland March 2017 We had a lovely break. The house is very comfortable and well appointed. A week wasn’t long enough. It really is a great ‘family house’.

Wendy Cairns from Hampshire March 2017 The Internet connection is very good (which is quite unusual for holiday properties). We loved the hot tub!! The detailed information, walks, menus etc were really useful. Overall we have had a wonderful time in a lovely house and location.

Sue Steel from West Yorkshire April 2017 Thank you for a great week at a fabulous venue. The accommodation was superb and easily managed - the eleven of us - without feeling cramped. We all congregated in the playroom each evening to play games and watch television. My granddaughter particularly enjoyed the rocking horse and dolls’ house. Plus the racquets and balls went down a treat. I would recommend the house to anyone staying in the area without hesitation.

The Lillie Family July 2017 We had a lovely time in your house. It suited all the various ages and the hot tub was an added bonus. The excellent location made it easy for all the various limited mobility of the older party members to enjoy the cinema and the independent shops in the town.

Verity L’s Family July 2017 Chipping House provides excellent accommodation for a wide range of ages from babies to great grandparents. Spacious but cosy it provides separate living room and playroom along with outside play/sun room. Hot tub a big bonus for all guests. The location is very central to the small friendly town of independent shops, 2 minutes from swimming pool and cinema with a constantly changing programme of entertainment. Particularly successful for our party were trips to Cattle Country, Berkeley Castle (check open days), and Newark Park - a unique National Trust property.

2016

David and Judith Lloyd from Derbyshire April 2016

We have stayed in many good quality cottages over the years but we have never stayed in one that is so well equipped and welcoming

Katrina Davis from Cheshire May 2016

Everyone had space to chat, to cook, to eat and drink and to play

Richard Kiedish from Cheshire August 2016

We had one child quietly reading in one room, with others playing next door and adults having a chat in another room – the recipe for a great holiday

Zena Hayes from Herefordshire October 2016

Lovely to have all of those little touches that are not usually thought of in holiday houses

Mrs Dawn O’Brien from Rickmansworth January 2016 The owner was so friendly and helpful prior to our arrival. The location of the house is perfect, within walking distance of all town amenities,

lovely places to eat, and surrounded by beautiful walks. Parking for several cars within the grounds. The house wrapped us in warmth and relaxation, the atmosphere is welcoming and homely, and there are so many features that made our stay so special. Quality and attention to detail in such an historic family home. The hot tub with twinkling lights as darkness fell was gorgeous! Comfortable beds, fluffy towels, endless hot water, logs for the wood burners, so much china, cutlery and cooking utensils. Highly recommended.

Mrs Patricia Bowler February 2016 The best thing for me: all the original artwork, including embroidery and quilting. Exquisite.

Mrs Heather Watkin from Hampshire March 2016 Thank you so much for enabling my friends and me to stay in your beautiful home. We had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed cooking for ourselves at Chipping House whilst relishing its splendours; we went on two lovely countryside walks from the house, so nice not to have to get in the car; explored the town and its shops; enjoyed a pub lunch at the Royal Oak on Sunday and generally had enormous fun. The house is so well equipped with information packs on everything we could have wished to know, and three of us ventured in to the hot tub which was absolutely lovely.

Mr R I Jones from Southport March 2016 A very well thought out selection of notes for guidance made for an easy to operate household – log fire burner, hot tub outside and kitchen appliances etc. A most enjoyable stay in a clean, cosy, interesting and comfortable house, ideally suited for the town and the environs.

Mark Hedges from Norfolk March 2016 Just wanted to let you know that we had a really good time at the house and at Cheltenham races. We made good use of the Star next door and had a slap up Indian in Wotton on Thursday night. The house was a delight and perfect for our needs so thank you for all your help.

Mrs Jennifer Wilson from Burton-on-Trent April 2016 The house was so comfortable, spacious and airy. The kitchen was so well equipped and well prepared with so much cutlery and crockery. We felt so relaxed at the property. Its situation was excellent and we felt we could all move happily to Wotton-under-Edge!! Thank you for helping our family enjoy such a wonderful celebration.

Mr and Mrs Lloyd from Derbyshire April 2016 We have stayed in many good quality cottages over the years but we have never stayed in one that is so well equipped and welcoming. Everything is as described and more and we have had a brilliant time.

The Davis Family from Cheshire May 2016 From the moment that we walked in, we knew that Chipping House welcomes families. We were 9 adults and 6 children, aged 2 to 70 years. Everyone had space to chat, to cook, to eat and drink and to play – and then to comfortable beds. We celebrated a ‘big’ birthday in great style, culminating in a full Sunday roast for 19. A great house for families and very thoughtfully equipped.

John Nixon from Leicestershire May 2016 As ‘seasoned’ renters of holiday properties, we found Chipping House superb, well appointed, comforting and comfortable. The owners have organised matters so as to make it simple and easy for new guests to settle in and enjoy the facilities. We will return.

Mr and Mrs Tipper from Staffordshire June 2016 We had a lovely long weekend. Hot tub was enjoyed as was Wotton swimming pool and the Star Inn. Used the farmers market and bought fresh local asparagus – delicious. House spacious and comfortable and well equipped.

Mrs Dawn Norman from at St Albans June 2016 Great few days and a great house for getting the family together. We would love to come back.

Mr Craig Cochrane from Dubai July 2016 Chipping House is very practical, especially for large families and is in a great location to explore the Cotswolds, South Wales and south west England. The owner was extremely helpful pre-stay and the house is well equipped. We had a fabulous week there and highly recommend it.

Miss G Bouchard from Leicester July 2016 Lovely house/home. Enjoyed our stay. Lots of games etc in the house. Loved the rocking horse.

Richard Kiedish from Cheshire August 2016 A great home for a family get-together, with lots of space for everyone. We had one child quietly reading in one room, with others playing next door and adults having a chat in another room - the recipe for a great holiday! It was good to be able to stroll to the pool, playground or cinema (all were put to good use during our week). But the best thing was that all of us, young and old, had a relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable week.

Nicholas Challacombe from Suffolk September 2016 The house was all we had hoped for and more. Just as if the owners had left and we moved in. Plenty of games to play, we used the hot tub, the croquet and other garden games. ...

Gary Bradbury from Warwickshire September 2016 Thank you for a wonderful stay in your well-equipped home. We had all that we would wish for and more. We even made use of your tea sets in the china pantry for a vintage style tea. We loved the garden and played croquet on the lawn. The hot tub is fantastic.

Zena Hayes from Herefordshire October 2016 We have really enjoyed our stay in your wonderful house.

Talia Jacobs from London October 2016 We had a fantastic weekend and the cottage is excellent and very well equipped.

Jane Mortley from Mid Wales November 2016 We had an amazing weekend, celebrating my mother’s 90th birthday. Your house is lovely and clean and really well equipped.

Donna Sayer from Warwickshire November 2016 We have had a great weekend. Thank you for all the information. The house has been lovely. Great to have such a large table to sit around. I can see that your older guests may appreciate higher chairs. Great to have so many cups and glasses! P.S. Thank you for putting us in touch with out long lost (Wotton) cousin.

Alice Rowley December 2016 Lovely house with a well stocked kitchen. A nice touch to have a Christmas tree up early in December.

Sheila Read from Lancashire December 2016 Wonderful weekend in your lovely house. Everything we needed from ages 6 to 90! Children loved the rocking horse and the dressing up clothes. We all loved the fires (log burners) and the long dining room table. And Wotton-under-Edge itself – it has a lovely atmosphere.

Elizabeth Boyne from Devon December 2016 We have all had another wonderful family Christmas at Chipping House (we were last here in 2012). We absolutely love this house. It is so well equipped, a great location and all the information is so well communicated. Thank you to Catherine (the owner) for taking the time to send us extra details. We sang carols in the church on Sunday. We have only praise for this house and owners.

2015

Miss Utting from London March 2015

I have never stayed in such as a well equipped house as Chipping House

Mrs Thompson from Berkshire June 2015

Chipping House felt like a home rather than a rental cottage

Mrs Glenn from Oxford April 2015

The cleanest house we have ever stayed in

Mrs Shermon’s Mother December 2015

Your home is so romantic that it has a touch of Jane Austin ... We should have worn bonnets and knee breeches.

The Shermon Family from Melbourne, Australia Christmas 2015 A very beautiful home, superbly equipment and everything of the highest standard – I wish it were mine! Most comfortable. Very good comprehensive information for the house.

Mrs Mary Earle from Somerset December 2015 We had a fantastic family weekend. Thank you so much for making it possible and so enjoyable. We have everything in the house that we could possibly have needed.

Mr and Mr Ellis from Somerset November 2015 Comfortable, homely and well equipped with all the information a guest could possibly want.

Mrs Corrie from Edinburgh November 2015 It has been lovely. We loved the hot tub!

Mr Michael Evans from Berkshire October 2015 We have had a fabulous family weekend celebration in your beautiful home. It is so well equipped. You seem to have allowed for all eventualities and all combinations of guests. We were three generations and we all found much to enjoy.

Mrs Sue Ferris from Gloucestershire September 2015 A lovely family place



Ref: 0420 5

Mr Pryce from Burgess Hill August 2015 The house was comfortable, spotlessly clean with ample information on both the house and places to visit. It would be hard to think of a better location, we could just to walk into the town centre for a meal and it was unexpectedly quiet for such a central situation.

The Reid Family from Germany July 2015 We had a lovely holiday with our family of all ages. Great facilities. The croquet and the hot tub were very much appreciated.

Mr and Mrs Thompson from Sunbury-on-Thames June 2015 Super place. Super week. Had a fantastic time with family and friends in a fantastic house, which is superbly equipped. A lovely house. Very well equipped kitchen, particularly as we usually cater for ourselves. Everyone – adults and children – thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Adored the summer house in the garden. Wotton-under-Edge so interesting. Information given on absolutely everything in the house and locally. Brilliant.

Mrs Denwood from Sussex May 2015 We have had an enjoyable stay in your delightful house. Everything was perfect for the three generations get-together.

Mrs Fleet and Mrs Speake from the Aberystwyth area May 2015 The accommodation exceeded our expectations. My family (there were 11 of us) had an amazing time. The house was so amazing we had to tear ourselves away to take day trips to both Bath and London. And we walked some of the Cotswold Way, which more or less goes straight past the property. The hot tub was a fantastic added extra and essential after all that walking to ease our aching feet. My mum is disabled and although she had to climb the stairs to go to bed, she managed fine with help. Would recommend this place to anyone. Didn’t want to leave! Many thanks for a fab week!

Mrs Fisher from Malvern May 2015 Very suitable for three generations to ‘mix and mingle’. Plenty of comfy seats; room for children to play outside and in. The stay wasn’t long enough.

Lisa Cusack from Ireland Badminton 2015 Excellent house. Very well kitted out. Everything provided for and well equipped. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Clare Hamlet from Northamptonshire April 2015 Walking through the front door of Chipping House is like walking into an old friend's house. It is a wonderful house. The kitchen offers a great central place for everyone to catch up. The other rooms are comfortable and cosy. It is perfectly located to meander into Wotton under edge or as a springboard to Stroud or other beautiful places in the Cotswolds. I also need to recommend the owner, Catherine. Nothing has been too much trouble. What a great combo: a lovely house and a lovely owner! We'll be back.

Mrs Noakes from Aylesbury April 2015 All our friends and family have said ‘this is like a real home’. What greater compliment can one give than that? You have gone to a great deal of trouble on our behalf and the whole event (my husband’s 80th birthday) has been a great success. Thank you for your part in all of this.

Mrs Glenn from Oxford April 2015 Absolutely brilliant for our family gathering of all ages. The cleanest house we have ever stayed in. Amazingly helpful email and communication and information in the house. The only problem was that the time flew past.

Mrs MacDonald from Sussex March 2015 Lovely! A very comfortable house. We had a super stay.

Miss Utting from London March 2015 Thank you for an amazing weekend. I have never stayed in such a well equipped house as Chipping House. We really appreciated your advice and did use it during our stay.

This house covered all bases for an amazing birthday weekend away from London! Firstly it's really easy to find - follow the instructions on the website and you really can't miss it. Secondly upon arrival, the set up as to how to get in and settled is clear as day too. And then - the fun was had! The owners of the house - whilst they have put rules in place - are wonderful and didn't even mind that we broke a glass (oops). The Wifi did mean that for some of us workaholics we could get connected but mostly we just enjoyed the surroundings - went for a lovely walk up the hill on Saturday morning, and popped to the local pub The Royal Oak for lunch on Sunday. Back at the house, once our food delivery came, we made the most of the kitchen, cooking up a storm (with a couple of glasses of wine of course) and playing some music. The house is very old and the walls thick, so we were able to turn the volume up comfortably without upsetting anyone - just make sure the windows are closed! And finally - the best part of the house - has to be the hot tub. What a treat!! We were in and out like yoyos! Basically, if you want a truly brilliant base in the Cotswolds, I couldn't recommend Chipping House enough.

Alison Baker from Exeter March 2015 The house provided a perfect home for three generations celebrating a special birthday. Excellent facilities with everything we needed.

Mr Beech from Warwickshire February 2015 We are all back home now after a lovely weekend at Chipping House, it was so good to be all together as a family again. Chipping house was very comfortable, and had everything we could want, from soft fresh bedding and towels to toys and wellingtons for the children, very well equipped kitchen, and lovely log burners. The housekeeper keeps the cleaning standards high, and when we had a problem, Stephanie [Catherine’s daughter] was on the scene in less than 15 min with the maintenance man. This was our first visit to the town, so your notes were very useful, we went to the Singing Teapot on arrival, very good [and cheap], and that evening bought fish and chips, having a drink in the Royal Oak, nice friendly pub and probably the best fish and chips we have ever

had. Saturday lunch in the Swan, excellent food and service [with no complaints at £10 a head for two courses]. The people in the deli and the Coop were helpful and overall we found it a charming town. Certainly we would love to go again.

Rev’d and Mrs Ireton November 2014

You have turned self catering into an art form! Definitely the very best self-catering that we have ever stayed in in 30+ years.

The Challen Family from Kent August 2014

Our third visit to Chipping House and each holiday has been fantastic.

Mrs Lowen from Exeter March/April 2014

Well what can I say? We are all in love with Chipping House. It is just perfect for a family gathering.

Mrs De-Viell from London August 2014

This has to be one of the most well-equipped houses we've stayed in with everything you need for cooking, eating, and so many games and books to keep you entertained.

Mr Downs from Stockport September 2014

Very quiet location despite being in town.

Mrs Law from Ealing December 2014 Just wanted to drop you a note to say we had a lovely stay at Chipping House over New Year and thank you for making everything so easy for guests. All the instruction manuals/guides made our trip easy and enjoyable. Everything from finding matches to getting the oven to work and to finding a good pub were all nice and easy. It's also a lovely house and well stocked with everything we could need.

Mrs Fuller from Glastonbury December 2014 We rented Chipping House for a very special Christmas celebration as 4 generations from all over the UK, America and Australia were together. We were not disappointed. The house has a very family friendly feel to it. We had 14 people staying most of the time and we never felt on top of one another. There are plenty of rooms and space. Location was excellent - plenty of pubs, café and convenience stores on hand without driving. There was a supply of basics such as salt/pepper, cling film, products etc which was nice as some places we have rented in the past had nothing. The owners gave a thorough guide to the home before we arrived and there was certainly plenty of information on hand at the house. Everything about our stay was perfect for a family Christmas - the cosy feel on arrival, the real Christmas tree and the endless supply of logs for the log burner. We have all come away with many happy memories

Ms Snell from Watford December 2014 Thanks for a lovely warm and relaxing house. We have had a fantastic and enjoyable weekend. Thank you particularly for setting up the Christmas tree around which we put our presents.

Mrs Drew from Weston-super-Mare December 2014 A comfortable, warming house that, as a large family, we can all get together and enjoy our time.

The Ireton Family November 2014 The cottage was everything we needed and more for a large family get together. Three cheers for the Alexander family for sharing your lovely home with the Iretons! You have turned self-catering into an art form! The attention to detail, superb supply of china/cutlery etc, excellent heating provision, comfort of the accommodation, provision of a family/playroom/games room and study as well as a warm cosy lounge, proximity to local amenities, care and attention to ‘homely’ details that made us instantly feel ‘at home’.

It would be hard to fault this wonderful home from home. Definitely the very best self-catering we have ever stayed in in 30+ years. A great place for our far-flung family to sojourn together for a few precious days.

Mr and Mrs Sonley from Worcestershire November 2014 Everything we needed for a three-generation family celebration. Your lovely home provided an amazing venue, which felt like home the moment of our arrival. You have thought of every need and more! The playroom was just right for our five grandchildren, while the peaceful lounge was the haven of the ‘oldies’.

Mr Townsend from October 2014 House lovely, beautifully equipped.

Ms Bond from Bath September 2014 We all thoroughly enjoyed our time at Chipping House. The owner was particularly helpful with details over the phone. The house was extremely comfortable, beautifully presented and perfect for our needs - everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were! Excellent detailed information held in files in the house on the area, where to eat etc. We loved the town of Wotton under Edge and had two very good meals at The Swan.

Mr Downs from Stockport September 2014 Very scenic walking country with or without driving from the house. Excellent food and drink available from various pubs etc within a few minutes’ walk and within 10 miles for those prepared to drive. Very quiet location despite being in town. Comfortable accommodation in a very interesting house with sufficient parking, full facilities and a private garden.

Mr and Mrs Willis from Somerset September 2014 Chipping House more than met our expectations. We are a three generation family group, 8 adults and 6 children, celebrating a significant birthday together and the accommodation suited us perfectly. Everything, from the generous space inside and out, the standard of furnishings, kitchen equipment,



Ref: 0420 8

cleanliness etc was of a very high standard and we would not fault a single thing! Catherine phoned and emailed us before our weekend to check our requirements and made lots of helpful suggestions of things to see and do - we just wish we had booked a week. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed exploring the town, walking on the Cotswolds and swimming in the local pool. The house proved to be a perfect size for celebrating a family birthday. It is amazingly equipped with everything we needed. On Saturday, we managed to walk up to the Tyndale Monument – a lovely walk. Sunday lunch at The Royal Oak was good – prompt service and a very relaxed attitude to so many little ones. We wished we could have stayed for longer and hopefully will be able to organise a repeat visit in the future.

Mrs De-Viell from London August 2014 We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chipping House: • Good location • Very clean and well equipped • Very good detailed information about places

to visit • Great toys for children to entertain

themselves with • Good communication from booking to visit • Comfy beds! From the moment we booked to the moment we left the service provided by Catherine the owner was fantastic. There is a website providing you lots of information about the house but upon enquiring Catherine called to talk through any questions we had and even called a week before our holiday to see if we needed anything - exceptional service. As for the house it's lovely for large groups with 2 sitting rooms, large kitchen dining room, nice garden and even a conservatory - so enough space for you to enjoy together or apart. This has to be one of the most well-equipped houses we've stayed in with everything you need for cooking, eating, and so many games and books to keep you entertained. The cleanliness of the house was great too. One of the nicest additional touches was the amount of local information provided - it's like a mini tourist information place with recommendations on things to do provided in nice folders along

with useful information like how far away, prices etc - we used to have a flick through each day and decide what to do the next day! The house is in the centre of Wotton-under-Edge which has lovely little tearooms, independent shops, a swimming pool, cinema and a Tesco metro to get what you need so is an ideal location - plus not far to get to places you may want to visit. I can't say enough positive things about Chipping House - for large groups this place is perfect so book it and enjoy!”

The Challen Family from Gillingham August 2014 We were a family group of eleven encompassing three generations. The accommodation at Chipping House, the furnishings and the equipment were all first class. The gregarious and those seeking a bit of peace and quiet were both catered for. Wotton under Edge is an interesting town with very good amenities: a good selection of pubs and eateries and the local Tesco and Co-op are very well stocked - in fact, as much variety and choice as the bigger supermarkets in nearby Dursley. Easy access by road to Bath, Bristol and Gloucester. If you are a National Trust member (or even if not) there are a number of interesting properties in the area. In particular we found Snowshill Manor really fascinating. For the golfer I can recommend Cotswold Edge Golf Club: a lovely course with great views and reasonable green fees. We have stayed at Chipping House three times and I am sure we will be going back at some time in the future.

Mr and Mrs White from Wotton-under-Edge July 2014 Perfect venue for our celebration. Very nice house and rooms. Loved the garden. Been playing a lot. Nice well equipped kitchen and lounges. Fantastic attention to detail. We had a most enjoyable stay in your lovely house. The equipment available was amazing. We will certainly recommend it to our friends.

Mrs Cunningham from York May/June 2014 Thank you for making everything so perfect for our family gathering. We thought the property and garden were superb!! Wonderful space in the property and a great garden for the little ones to play in. We had a wonderful stay.

The place was very welcoming. Felt like a home.

Mrs Nicholas from Exeter May 2014 Before arriving: Thank you so much for all the information on Chipping House and Wotton-under-Edge. It is very useful to us all. You seem to have thought of everything. We are all very much looking forward to our family get together and time in the Cotswolds. So many things to do in the area, and all ages catered for. After leaving: We have had a very comfortable, enjoyable week. Lots of helpful information in the house.

The Keig Family from Staffordshire April 2014 Lovely garden – a real sun trap.

Mr Standing from Preston April 2014 Very well stocked house in a great location. Enjoyed several walks right from the door step, no need to drive. Enjoyed visits to Gloucester, Bath, Tetbury and a day at Chepstow races.

Mrs Burton from Portsmouth April 2014 Had a great weekend – house was very nice, very comfortable and so well equipped.

Mrs Redmile from Lincolnshire April 2014 We have enjoyed a lovely week, weather has been great and Nana (aged 91) has met her relatives from this area. We went to ‘Adams’ Farm and had a good time. The men played golf and we had a craft day.

Mrs Lowen from Exeter March/April 2014 Well what can I say? We are all in love with Chipping House. It is just perfect for a family gathering. I'm definitely in everyone's good books for booking the weekend. I wish you all the best and will certainly recommend to family and friends!

Miss Jones from Central London March 2014 We had a really lovely weekend at Chipping House so thanks for all your help.

Mrs Luxton from Dorset February 2014 Just wanted to say that we had another fantastic family holiday at Chipping House last week. We all think it's a lovely place to stay and you actually feel at home in a funny sort of way - my husband and I were treated to the biggest bedroom this time and that is a fab room - plenty of wardrobe space which I like!?! Thanks again for providing such a lovely place to spend with family - we hope we can do it again in the future.

Mrs Wright from Yorkshire February 2014 Before arriving: Wow what an absolutely wonderful informative e mail (introducing us to the house before arrival) - I have actually read it twice as I didn't want to miss anything. I am so excited to be coming to your lovely house. Thank you so much for taking the time to share all this (information) with us. After leaving: Absolutely fabulous house. Met our every need. Could certainly stay again. Plenty of info – much appreciated.

Mrs Mortlock from Cardiff February 2014 Absolutely fantastic – obviously a loved house – and we loved staying here. It felt homely and we had everything we needed.

Mr Spanton from Southampton April 2013

Chipping House turned out to be the venue for the best family holiday we have had in recent years. I cannot recommend this property highly enough.

Mrs McKenna from Sweden May 2013

The house itself is incredibly well equipped; you really don't need to bring anything with you, even if you love to cook.

Mr Stothart from Scotland June 2013

By far the best accommodation in all our years of ‘cottage’ holidays.

Mr Graham from Dumfriesshire July 2013

To Catherine (the owner): I have booked holiday accommodation all over the country and never been looked after as well as by you.

Mrs Glasgow from Oxfordshire September2013

Wotton-under-Edge is an unspoilt Cotswold town with lovely amenities and great local walking on the Cotswold Way.

Mrs Spencer from Newbury December 2013 Thank you for the use of your lovely house over Christmas. We enjoyed every minute.

Mrs Rowley from Coventry December 2013 Thank you so much for all the excellent information - you have really gone the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable.

Mr Mulhern from Eastbourne November 2013 I can truly say the house is faultless. Great communication from the owner with lots of useful information. Very clean and well equipped house just as described.

Mrs Baker from Buckinghamshire November 2013 Lovely comfortable and well placed ideal for our weekend. Enjoyed exploring the town and lovely walks in hills around. The house was spotless and very well equipped and labelled.

Mr McAuliffe from Cambridgeshire October 2013 Thank you for all your help and advice – it was much appreciated. It is a real family home and we had a very comfortable stay – lots of space and amenities. Good quality duvets and mattress covers appreciated. Enjoyed walk to Tyndale Monument. If our stay had been longer, we would have found your maps very useful. Really enjoyed reading the history of the house.

Mrs Bond from London October 2013 What a lovely house – it suited our needs very well and we had a great time. The toys were much appreciated, especially the soft animals.

Mr Forward from Billericay October 2013 Very comfortable accommodation with plenty of space for a family group. The spacious accommodation was much appreciated. All equipment worked well and there was adequate provision of essentials (towels, etc.) The central situation within easy walking distance of shops, cafes, pubs etc. was ideal. Chipping House is excellent in all respects. We cannot suggest any improvements. The comprehensive range of information was very helpful and added to the enjoyment and interest of our stay. Altogether a thoroughly enjoyable week in a very attractive area and we can certainly recommend the accommodation which fully justifies its four-star rating.

Mrs Davies from Llanelli October 2013 Very good place for a family gathering. Plenty of sleeping space and also plenty of bathrooms and toilets. Well equipped kitchen. Cooked for large numbers with no problems. It is very close to motorway and very close to all the facilities of the village, which were very good. Shops well stocked.

Mr and Mrs Johnson from Nottingham September 2013 We have had a wonderful week. Our time here was planned to culminate in the wedding of our daughter (nearby). Our family, including daughters, spouses and children from the USA and Australia. The weather was perfect and Chipping House was everything we could have hoped for, and more. Our family members ranged from 8 to 87 and the house worked so very well for everyone to enjoy. It is spacious, comfortable, fun and welcoming, and was more than adequately equipped, with tasteful beds and bedding, and a fabulous array of cooking pots, crockery and cutlery. We had memorable family suppers around the wonderful dining room table. The garden was also enjoyed by all, from the



Ref: 0420 11

children who enjoyed playing games to others who enjoyed identifying the many plants and flowers in the plentiful sunshine as the garden faces west. Bedroom 1 is luxurious and elegant and was just right for the bride to get ready in for her wedding. Your house was a perfect place to stay - a warm and welcoming home. All in all an unforgettable experience.

Mrs Glasgow from Oxfordshire September 2013 Just wanted to say how much we all enjoyed staying at Chipping House - it is a lovely home and very welcoming indeed. We did some lovely walks, went swimming a couple of times (once in the rain!) and visited some local attractions. Apart from that, lots of lovely cooking (we are all into our food!) and discussions about life in general over several glasses of wine. Great location within the town, house is really well appointed and great for sharing with a large group. Lots of space to lose yourself with a book and a glass of wine or just chat with friends. Wotton-under-Edge is an unspoilt Cotswold town with lovely amenities and great local walking on the Cotswold Way. All in all a perfect holiday.

The Challen Family from Kent August 2013 (also stayed in 2012) Lovely! Another fabulous year at Chipping House. Hoping to come again next year!

Mr Graham from Dumfriesshire July 2013 I stayed with a group of 10 friends as we were walking parts of the Cotswolds Way. Chipping House was just excellent for all our party and there were many little corners for a relaxing time. It was especially good as some of us could watch Wimbledon in the library in the evening whilst others enjoyed a good conversation and evening drink in the lounge. The summer house was particularly popular with the walkers enjoying afternoon tea and even a wee sleep after our daily long walk. The owner was particularly helpful in giving advice on attractions in the area which we found very useful.

Mr Stothart, friend of Mr Graham (above) July 2013 By far the best accommodation in all our years of ‘cottage’ holidays. A perfect site in a friendly town with all services to hand. Congratulations on the thought put into both internal and external contingencies.

The Bell and Dine Families from Melbourne, Australia July 2013 • Very comfortable furniture, beds too • Great to have a huge selection of games and

books to enjoy • Maps and leaflets fantastic – used a lot • Well stocked kitchen

Mr Lye from Worcestershire July 2013 Spacious property - fully equipped with everything you could want. Well located for trips out etc. Superb holiday home!

Mrs Haysom from Nova Scotia, Canada July 2013 Wonderful family home, comfortable, spacious, child friendly, large garden with furniture to lounge in. Spacious kitchen and dining room very well equipped. Lots of space to read, play, relax etc. 14 family members arrived from Canada and fell in love with Chipping House and Wotton-under-Edge. Pub 2 mins away, outdoor swimming pool 2 mins away. Unspoilt Cotswold village, with shops, historic buildings, lovely countryside. Close to Bristol. Charming owners.

Mrs Horne from Medway, Kent July 2013 The property was ideally located for the many places of interest we planned to visit, which included Bath and Cheddar Gorge.

Mr Stocker from Devon June 2013 The initial greet from Catherine, the owner, and her staff, The location, the town, plenty to do, The house is well stocked with equipment, books, games, nothing lacking at all, The Wotton-under-Edge treasure hunt is a must!

Mr Batchelor from Brighton June 2013 We enjoyed our stay in your lovely house. Everything was there to make our stay very comfortable. There was plenty of space and lots of things for children to play with. The house is ideally situated for the shops in the town, public houses, coffee shops etc. I would certainly recommend your house to friends.

Mrs Little from Scotland June 2013 We all much enjoyed Chipping House, the pool, the summerhouse, the eating places, the Naked Gardeners of Malmesbury (!), Tetbury’s shops, Calcot Manor, the Ram Inn and its aged owner, the almshouses’ chapel and the local National Trust Tudor lodge.

Mrs Carroll from Taunton June 2013 We had a lovely time in your house. We had a large family celebration and the space the house provided was perfect. We would definitively book again should the need arise – in fact I’m rather sad to leave as we’ve had a very happy week.

Mrs Russell from Lewes May 2013 The house was very comfortable and the position in the town was very convenient for all our needs, we felt very welcome and at home.

Mrs Edgington from Bath May 2013 Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with our family. As a fellow host of holiday property, I appreciate how much goes into running successful vacation accommodation and will happily recommend your house to others.

Valerie B from Brighton May (half term) 2013 We were all delighted with the property. The layout of the bedrooms was perfect for our party and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was more than fully equipped and the lounge and library were comfortable and catered for the children very well. The owners of the cottage were extremely helpful and left nothing to chance. We would love another holiday there.

Mrs Stockdale from Ireland May 2013 Thank you so much for the brilliant week in Chipping House. The house is so welcoming – the owners were obviously happy here when they lived here in the past. We cooked a lot and found the house incredibly well stocked. We ate out in the back garden every night, apart from the times when we ate out. The Swan was excellent. Thank you for your welcoming email before we arrived. It was informative. We’ve left truffles for whoever prepared the house. They had done a good job.

Mrs McKenna from Sweden May 2013 We spent a most gorgeous week in your beautiful house. We had such a lovely time. I stayed with my husband and his family... Our group ranged in age from 19 months to 71 years and everyone loved it and found a corner to suit them (some adults were found in the dressing-up clothes area). The house itself is incredibly well equipped, you really don't need to bring anything with you, even if you love to cook (I tend to bring a decent chopping knife with me whenever I rent a house!) We cooked a lot and ate in the village a few times - mostly very impressive and incredibly good value. Chipping House has obviously witnessed lots of happy times and immediately feels like home. It is really comfortable, warm and the beds are super comfy! I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Miss Watson from London April/May 2013 Thank you so much for all your help and advice for our stay at your wonderful house during Badminton horse trials. We had a fantastic time and the house couldn’t have been more perfect. We stayed here with a large group of friends including two children aged 1 and 5. There was so much space and a fantastic dining table that seats about 18 people. It really was home away from home with everything you needed in the house, lots of dishes in the kitchen, toys for the children etc. There is a great garden and we had a barbecue one evening. The house is in a fantastic position in the heart of the village and walking distance to pubs, shops etc. The owners were exceptionally helpful beforehand and gave

us so lots of ideas for places to eat and things to do. I strongly recommend.

Mr Revill from Mansfield April 2013 Thank you for a wonderful stay in your fabulous house. We really enjoyed our time. Very well-equipped and spacious and we would recommend to friends.

Mr Spanton from South Hampshire April 2013 It is with a heavy heart that we leave Chipping House. We have had just the best holiday. It was perfect for our extended family - 2 grandparents, 3 daughters, 3 sons-in-law and 3 two year old grandchildren. The description on their informative web site was completely accurate and the joining instructions were fine. The house was immaculate when we arrived. It had everything we needed to make this a wonderful week. The facilities of the house so generously left for our use made our stay such a wonderful experience. There was everything for the children, indoors and out and this was hugely responsible for the success of the stay. The space for the children to play happily and safely were most appreciated - there was so much for them to play with. There were also amazing facilities for the older ones including Wi-Fi. The very well stocked kitchen was sufficient for hosting a dinner party (not that we did). The bedrooms were spacious and the beds very comfortable. The garden was safe and well-maintained. Wotton-under-Edge is a fascinating place as well, with so many independent shops as well as a Co-op (hooray) and a Tesco Express (boo hiss). I cannot recommend this property highly enough. It felt like a home, which of course it is.

Mr Maund from Swansea March 2013 We had a great time. The house was ideal for our needs. Comfortable and in a great position.

Mrs Shrubsole from Bristol March 2013 We had a wonderful weekend in your beautiful and well-equipped house.

Mrs Luxton from Dorset February 2013 Excellent accommodation. Well equipped. Lots of useful information. A fabulous family home. Thanks for a great family holiday.

Mr Walter from Hertfordshire January 2013 We had a brilliant time in a wonderful house, which we would recommend to all our friends.

2012

Mr Webster from Hertfordshire

December 2012 Over the 10 years that we have been going on holiday several times per year, we can easily say that Chipping House has been the most rewarding experience ever.

Mr and Mrs English from Cwmbran October 2012

One of the most well equipped houses that we have rented in the past 17 years.

Mr and Mrs Lettis from Warwickshire

June 2012 The first house in all the 10 or 12 years that we have been renting holiday houses where the owner had provided everything and we had not wanted for anything.

Vivienne Lak from Belgium May 2012

Chipping House is the best house we have ever had in 13 years of choir holiday experiences!

Mr Fletcher from Aberystwyth December 2012 Before arrival: The house looks lovely and all your comments will be really useful when it comes to deciding who goes where (and when) etc. It would seem that we don't need to bring the kitchen sink or the Monopoly?! Thank you again for looking after us so well, I feel completely relaxed and able to fully enjoy all the anticipation of Christmas without the accompanying stress!



Ref: 0420 14

After leaving: The property was beautiful but not intimidating. We all agreed that we felt at home straight away. It didn't feel like a rented property and there were some lovely personal touches, Christmas decorations, plenty of logs for the woodburners, maps etc! We loved the little town of Wotton-under-Edge. Everyone was particularly friendly and helpful and the many walks from the door across the decidedly waterlogged fields were really enjoyable. A perfect holiday!

Mr Webster from Hertfordshire December 2012 Thank you for the attention to details. The house was simply perfect for our long weekend and the house was clean. We spent so much time in the house as it was so spacious and comfortable. There was a plentiful supply of cutlery and crockery and this made preparation and presentation so much easier. One of our party was recovering from an operation one week ago and the short walks to The Swan and the shops was a blessing.

Mrs Massey from Watford December 2012 The house was warm and extremely comfortable. It’s a great location for exploring the Cotswolds.

The Carré Family from Sheffield December 2012 You have such a beautiful house and in a lovely setting. We all enjoyed our time enormously and were comfortable and felt extremely well catered for. You seem to have everything for everyone and we look forward to coming back again one day.

Mrs Boyne from Devon December 2012 We have all had an amazing time at your house. It was absolutely perfect for our family, young and old. Would definitely love to come back again next year and make it a family tradition. The house was very well equipped and the beds were so comfortable. Thank you so much for all the information and the finishing touches, which made it extra special.

The Tinsons from Isle of Wight November/December 2012 Our group has been spending this week away for around eighteen years now. We were ... prompted to return to Chipping House because not only is the house 'Grand' and interesting, the surrounding area has so much to offer, as does the town.

Mr and Mrs Weston from St Austell Autumn 2012 Well equipped family house. A great venue for a family get-together. Enjoyable sessions at the Falcon steakhouse. Thank you for the welcome pack.

Mrs Bauer from Gloucestershire October 2012 Fantastic weekend in superbly equipped house. Very comfortable. Could highly recommend. Wotton-under-Edge is a great little town with beautiful walks.

Mrs Smith from Forest of Dean September 2012 A truly remarkable family house that is really well equipped. We enjoyed our stay immensely which all contributed to making our son’s wedding and our stay for a week a memorable occasion.

Mark C from London September 2012 Very comfortable accommodation, well equipped kitchen, plenty of room for large family meals, a well stocked library with plenty of puzzles and games, a large screen TV for those that need one and a more relaxing TV free room for those that don't. Good sized private garden for badminton etc. Local shops, swimming pool and cinema all within a few hundred yards. Cinema was great.

Mr and Mrs Challen from Kent August 2012 We have had a fantastic week in a beautiful area. So much to see and plenty of places to visit: Bath, Dyrham Park, Newark, Gloucester Cathedral. The house and garden are great and extremely well equipped. Superb accommodation – loved the two separate living rooms/library. Lovely private garden. Lunches in the Swan Hotel and nearby Hunters Hall are both recommended.



Ref: 0420 15

We are sad to be leaving and hope to make a return visit.

Mr Mallagh from London August 2012 Such a lovely homely home. Felt very comfortable. Home from home. We were welcomed warmly by the owners who have thought of absolutely everything in this beautiful house. We stayed as a family holiday with ages ranging from 3 to 84 and everyone found something to do (summer rain!) we even hired the local village pool for an hour - bargain at £50 per hour! The house is so 'cosy' considering it sleeps 14 and the owners are a mine of information. We ate at the long dining table/played cards there, we played family games in the day room and listened to music & bookworms read in the living room. The youngsters enjoyed the study (laptops etc) and the emperor bed in the master bedroom....was so comfy & quiet we over slept most days! Definitely going back :)))

Mr & Mrs Phipps from Milton Keynes July 2012 The whole family congratulated us on finding such a perfect venue for our special get together. We had a truly enjoyable time. Bedrooms / bathrooms - all we needed for a good night’s sleep, kitchen / dining - all there. I loved the quiet room where I was able to get better and rest, enjoying books on all sorts of different subjects and (in the playroom) the children sang and acted. Our daughter over from Australia was able to keep up with work in the study. Garden - even down to wellie boots - and we found fresh rosemary to go with the lamb - it was good. Swimming twice a day (in Wotton Pool), walks, delis to die for and above all such nice local people. And we did appreciate all the information - we never had to ask ourselves any questions! Perfect for an all ages family get together. Very good location and the house offered simply everything needed no matter the weather.

Mr and Mrs Sterritt from Northern Ireland July 2012 Beautiful house. Information provided, including emails, was very helpful and reassuringly informative. House contains everything you could possibly need.

NB We found the Royal Oak pub/restaurant very family friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Good food at reasonable prices.

Ollie, Lauren and Mae (all under 10) June/July 2012 This place is epic. Whoever lives here is very lucky. It is a (sic) amazing experience with lots of stuff to do.

Mr Culleton from Swansea June 2012 No property is exactly what you imagine from the ‘brochure’. However, Chipping House exceeded our expectations. The property is spacious and very well equipped. Our 2½ year old grandson was kept amused by the variety of toys and games in the playroom. The location was ideal, having the convenience of local facilities on your doorstep. The garden is private, a safe play area and ideal for relaxing. The beds were comfortable (which is often a weakness in some holiday accommodation).

Ann Lettis from Warwickshire June 2012 Wonderful house. Super place for:

• Grandparents • Parents • Children • Grandchildren

Five stars for the cleaner – the house was immaculate.

Vivienne Lak from Oud-Heverlee, Belgium May/June 2012 Chipping House is the best house we have ever had in 13 years of choir holiday experiences! The beds are incredibly good and so is the library, the garden, the kitchen; we are really impressed by your lovely home.

Mrs Prettyjohns from Leicestershire May 2012 We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We found the beds very comfortable. We enjoyed having two sitting rooms. One with television and one without so people had a choice.... watching TV or chatting and listening to music. We also liked that the house was in the village so near to places to eat and to buy provisions.

Mrs Hayter from Hampshire April 2012 Lovely house, clean and tidy and very well kitted out. Twelve adults had a great time. Plenty of information regarding the house and surrounding area. The house was great to chill out in. Lots of things to do in the house if the weather was bad, which it was...puzzles, books, games, big TV. Not forgetting the lovely wood burning stoves, which kept us all cosy, what a treat! Chipping House has the feel of a family home, really welcoming and good parking too. Really lovely home, we had a super weekend.

Mr and Mrs Rose from Derbyshire April 2012 We had a wonderful week – three generations of happiness.

Mrs Fripp from Dorset April 2012 Excellent venue and location for walking the Cotswold Way. An extremely well equipped house.

Mrs Williams from Essex April 2012 The owners were very welcoming. They had thought of everything. Thanks to the housekeeper as well The house was well equipped and very comfortable. There was helpful information about the practical running of the house and also about its interesting history. My grandchildren loved the play room. We had a great time at Chipping House. It has everything that you could wish for.

Mrs Riley from Andover March 2012 Very comfortable. We appreciated the detailed instructions for appliances and the play resources for the children. A great space for 3 generations to enjoy time together whilst having 'quiet time' in our own rooms if required.

Mr Hall from Hook January 2012 Perfect for our family celebration. Plenty of toys, games and dressing up clothes for the grandchildren. Good location for the town and sightseeing.

2010-2011

The Brown Family from Witham June 2011

All the extra little touches were appreciated.

The Rudge Family from Aberdeen September 2011

The property is very well maintained, very well equipped and very well placed within the lovely village.

Mr Smith from South Africa Christmas 2011

Chipping House was everything that we had expected and more. You seem to have thought of every need that may occur and have the facilities and equipment to meet those needs.

Mr Smith from South Africa December 2011 The Christmas (at Chipping House) was stunning! Everybody arrived as scheduled - from Hong Kong, from Virginia State and from Hereford (UK). For the first time, my wife and I had the whole of our immediate family under one beautiful roof, life cannot get any better than that!! To all be seated for special meals with the most special people in our lives will stay with us forever. The house was everything that we had expected and more. You seem to have thought of every need that may occur and have the facilities and equipment to meet those needs. Our son cooked Christmas lunch and for the first time ever did not run out of pots and pans! We made good use of the library and games room and all the children loved the rocking horse. On Christmas Eve we played the family games including Trivial Pursuits at which we men excelled, until it was pointed out that the game was for players between eight and twelve years of age, yet another special memory. The beds were comfortable with good linen and towelling; central heating was a godsend to us Southern hemisphere oldies and the wood fires added that lovely ambience. The garden was well used as a sports field and the close access

to the village shops meant that there was no hassling with shopping lists and driving. The baptism of two of our grandchildren was another beautiful experience and many more family members joined us on that special day. Thank you for your guidance and advice, the locals from the tea room to the farm centre were all charming and helpful; the tree and turkey were ready for us on arrival. We wanted to leave the tree as it had given us such joy as all of the grandchildren had helped with the decorating, they will be delighted as we are, to know that it gave pleasure to other people. Your house is beautiful and will be ever present in our family memories.

Mr and Mrs Garner from Nottingham November 2011 Everyone (10 adults and 2 young children) could not fault Chipping House - the location, the accommodation, helpful information, the abundance of crockery and glassware, kitchen utensils and pots & pans. The extra touches of hairdryers in most rooms, clear instructions and directions for use of facilities etc made Chipping House an ideal destination for our gathering. The children (and the adults!) thought the ‘toy room’ was heaven and made great use of the 'playroom' with all the games and toys they found there. The setting in the heart of Wotton-under-Edge was ideal for exploring the Cotswolds. The owner was most welcoming and accommodating of the needs of our party. We would not hesitate to recommend it to friends. We all want to come back one day to this special ‘home-from-home’.

Trish Young from Sydney October 2011 We had a lovely time here in your beautiful house. Specially appreciated all the books – especially the history books and the big book on Wotton in particular.

Mrs Leeming from Northamptonshire October 2011 Your house was very accommodating. Loved the village local shops and ‘The Singing Teapot’ for a superb breakfast.

The Rudge family from Aberdeen September 2011 Stayed at Chipping House for one week in early September. Family joined us for first weekend -

which ranged from 2 year old to 70 year old. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The property is very well maintained, very well equipped and very well placed within the lovely village. Chipping House was immaculate and very homely. We also met the owner, who is a lovely lady. We had friends join us for the rest of the week and again they were very impressed. Had great meals in the Swan, Star and Royal Oak. Will definitely been returning to Chipping House and have no hesitation in recommending this property.

The Green Family from Hampshire August 2011 House perfect for our family group of eight. We all found our own space and had a brilliant week. Location excellent. Grateful for the hand soap, washing powder etc.

Mrs Blower from Folkestone August 2011 We had a wonderful time in your lovely home. The bookshelves in the lounge are an inspiration! We certainly had no time to get bored with so much to do and see, both in the house and in the area. Although it is a large house it has a very homely feel, and we particularly loved the 'children's lounge' with the books, jigsaw puzzles and games, which were made very good use of! The Emperor bedroom is beautiful! Thank you for opening up your home and making the experience so interesting!

The Blencowes from Nottinghamshire July/August 2011 By far the most spacious and well equipped rental we have had. Nice to have all the amenities within walking distance and good parking. Weather helped and we have all enjoyed a great holiday. Still lots to see in this area.

Mrs Jeynes from Wotton under Edge July 2011 Lovely house, thank you. Perfect for entertaining. Great garden. Very friendly helpers/cleaners. Good notes in files.

Mrs Kenward from West Sussex July 2011 The layout worked well for three generations. Hostess trolley and ship’s bell were really useful. Cinema just one minute away ...

Ms England from Worcestershire July 2011 We had a lovely holiday. We are really sorry to leave this spacious house, which still felt like home with personal touches.

Mr Batchelor from Hertfordshire June 2011 We absolutely loved our stay. The house was like a home from home. Very well equipped, beautiful decor and immaculately clean.

The Brown Family from Witham June 2011 Very comfortable and well equipped for our party of 7 adults and a baby. We made use of the whole house and leave chilled ready for Essex life again! All the extra little touches were appreciated and putting on the kettle for a cuppa on arrival was lovely. The house was very grand in size but homely. There were welcoming tea, coffee, milk and flowers. The house was central to the town. The facilities were brilliant, everything was thought of for young and old alike. The kitchen was better equipped than mine! Thoroughly recommend Chipping House for large families and 'get togethers'.

Mrs Goldsmith from Surrey April/May 2011 Thought the house and gardens were great. The kitchen was well stocked and we loved the family room. Internet was great. Loved the study. Everyone said complimentary things about the bed linen and duvets.

Mrs Broughton from Oxfordshire April 2011 Very helpful owner. We were blessed with good weather and enjoyed the garden. Very practical space in the house for the two young children who were in our party.

Mrs Goody from Honiton April 2011 Lovely house – very spacious. Children (x6!) enjoyed the games and books.

Miss Bowden from Greenwich March 2011 Location – right in town Area – lovely countryside just outside the town Property – spacious, clean, right amount of bathrooms for a big group, lots of crockery etc, fittings of a high standard The house is great – it has everything that you could ask for, plus other things that exceeded our expectations.

Mr Skinner from Northampton March 2011 Nice house. Worked well with a large group and pretty safe for children. Owners very helpful.

Mrs Coles from Witney February 2011 House very suitable for needs and housekeeper extremely helpful.

Mr Jeffrey from Buckinghamshire February 2011 Very much enjoyed our stay. Used the house as a writing retreat and productivity was high! Very well equipped residence – we wanted for nothing and appreciated all the local information provided.

Miss Polley from Suffolk January 2011 The house had fantastic facilities and so many games for the kids to play. It was brilliant. We all had a wonderful time.

Mrs Cochrane from York December 2010 The house was lovely and perfect for our needs, spacious and comfortable, with good-quality furnishings and a friendly welcome from the 'literature', and a helpful response from the owner & housekeeper. It was very well equipped for all ages and it really felt like a 'home' for the weekend we were there. We loved the fact that it was so near the town centre so we could just wander round the shops, and there are some really nice short walks. The pre-Christmas weekend was a great success with all members of the family and we're already thinking of coming back next year!

Mr Hooper from Kidderminster December 2010



Ref: 0420 19

This house was perfect for the family gathering that we had - in all, two grandparents, two adult couples, three teenagers and a young lady of 8. This meant the diversity of the property was spot on. The quality of accommodation was excellent and the owner was very helpful. Being set in the town itself only added to the whole ambience and convenience. It is very difficult to fault much about a large house in a perfect location for our needs.

Mrs Johnson from Manchester November 2010 The house was so welcoming and there was everything we needed. The village was brilliant and we had a great time in the pubs and a meal at the local hotel. The surrounding area was beautiful and we had an excellent walk around the Cotswold trail. Thank you everyone involved in making our stay so memorable. The house is wonderful – we felt warm, relaxed and comfortable. There was everything we needed and more.

Ms McHale from Worcestershire November 2010 You have a lovely house. You do not need to improve on anything.

Mr and Mrs Beaglehole November 2010 Super house and garden in fantastic condition and brilliantly equipped. Had a great weekend with friends and did some local walks. Thanks for the welcome pack – tea, milk and biscuits well received.

Mrs Pickett from Dorchester November 2010 The best thing was the convenience to Wotton-under-Edge’s facilities and activities (including walks) without having to drive a motor car.

Mrs Jackie Stott from Chichester, Sussex October 2010 Chipping House is a super place for a family gathering, with lots of excellent walks and sites to see very near. Lovely house, well equipped, nice garden, lots of space. Thanks for all the information, cook books etc.

Mrs Stinchcombe from Victoria September 2010 This is a lovely home and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is extremely well equipped.

The people in the small town were very friendly and helpful. We only stayed a week ... we would have loved to stay much longer.

Patricia from Berkshire August 2010 We had a magnificent stay at Chipping House. Our teenage children enjoyed the WiFi access, visited the cinema (more-or-less just outside the door) twice and went to the swimming pool (also nearby). My husband and I attended an event in the Arts Centre, which again is just over the road. The convenience was superb. We felt that the house is suitable for young and old alike, with a quiet sitting room and a noisier sitting room.

Mrs Mason from Amersham August 2010 Lovely large house for family gathering. The furnishings were child friendly, which was ideal. Lovely enclosed garden.

Mrs Graves from Twickenham June 2010 We thought Chipping House had a wonderful atmosphere. We had a fantastic family gathering of our children and grandchildren from around the world and everyone felt at home as soon as we walked in. We were overwhelmed by the calibre of the toys - something for everyone - sandpit, slide and a lovely dolls house. All the cooks in the family loved the kitchen, much better equipped than most rented ones we have used. We were a bit unsure of booking somewhere in a town, but actually it was ideal for a gathering such as ours. The owner could not have been more helpful. And then God sent the sunshine - life does not get much better. The children wanted us to buy the house!!

Ms Cutler from London May 2010 Really well appointed. Great for our toddler - loved the sand pit, slide and sunny garden. Great having the cinema and swimming pool close by.

Ms Pam Scott from Hampshire April 2010 The close proximity to the town of Wotton-under-Edge, the house and all its facilities were excellent. We had a great time.
