Ivy Cottage is set in a quiet village with a lovely garden. Ideal location for exploring the Cotswolds. It is our third visit here and won’t be our last.

The cottage was perfect. Immaculately clean and had everything we needed (although a fan would be a have been a welcome addition) Lots of room in the bedroom and bathroom is huge! Beautiful and peaceful garden, with plenty of seating choices in the shed. The village was very quiet and lots of lovely walks on the doorstep. The driveway was just big enough for our Suzuki Swift, anything bigger would be a struggle. There are plenty of other parking places around the village. Can’t wait to come back

Ivy cottage, located in the village of Chedworth, was exceptionally well appointed.It would be cosy and warm in winter and was surprisingly cool in summer. The owner was super responsive to our queries. I could not find fault with the cottage.Your own transport would be recommended. The cottage is within driving distance from Stratford upon Avon across to Oxford, and everywhere in between.Try the Windmill Inn for great meals and drinks.I would highly recommend Ivy Cottage.
