Crafty Cottage - sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom
As you approach Crafty Cottage, a sense of quiet serenity surrounds. The cottage sits on a peaceful street, gently tucked away from the bustle of the high street, yet only a stone’s throw from charming cafes, inviting shops, and eclectic galleries. The soft, honey-hued cottages that surround the area lend a warm, timeless character to the neighbourhood, where the vibrant energy of local life hums in the background, but never intrudes. Crafty Cottage is an idyllic sanctuary just moments from it all and you have the ultimate luxury of your own off-road parking space.
The open-plan living area of Crafty Cottage is a haven of warmth and whimsy, where the light beams in and casts a glow over carefully designed spaces. A comfortable sofa invites you to settle in by the crackling woodburner, whether for a quiet moment with a book or an evening lost in conversation. The adjoining kitchen, just a step away, is bright and perfectly placed for pouring ‘just one more cup of tea’ or stealing a warm slice of something from the oven. Every detail feels intentional – nothing overdone, yet everything just right. The bedroom at Crafty Cottage is just as inviting as the living space; tucked beneath a sloping ceiling, the room has a quiet elegance.
Surrounded by wooden fencing and lush shrubbery just behind your parking space and to the right of the front door, the outdoor area at Crafty Cottage provides the perfect peaceful relaxation spot. Whether you’re sipping coffee in the morning sun or enjoying the evening breeze with a glass of wine, the inviting setting is wonderful for a moment of tranquillity.
Ground Floor
Living/Dining/Kitchen area The living space at Crafty Cottage radiates warmth and charm, inviting you to unwind in its delightful atmosphere.

There is a dining table for two, with easy access to both the living room and kitchen. The compact, charming kitchen is packed with everything you need for a little culinary magic. Cream cabinetry and warm wooden touches create a welcoming atmosphere and there is space for prepping, plating and pouring a well-deserved glass of wine. Whether you’re whipping up a hearty breakfast or a romantic supper, this kitchen offers everything you need.
First Floor
Bedroom The king size bed, crisp and generous, is the perfect cosy spot to unwind after a day of exploring Chipping Campden and the Cotswolds.

Short break in the Cotswolds
Crafty Cottage provided just what we needed for a few days break in the Cotswolds. Easy access to Chipping Camden high street was much appreciated, as was the dedicated off street car parking space. The house was comfortable and clean. A few more pieces of crockery and cutlery would've been appreciated!

Perfect Short Stay
We recently stayed at Crafty Cottage in the village of Chipping Campden along with our dog. The cottage is very well equipped, comfortable, exceptionally clean and very well positioned for walks, shops and all the pubs and restaurants in the village which are all dog friendly. There are a number of other villages that are just a short drive away.
I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again or book other accommodation with Bolthole Retreats.

A great stay
Loved the cottage everything was as it should be. Well equipped & very cosy. Just a point of note, the enclosed garden isn't accessed straight from the door maybe good to know if you have a dog as we did.

Crafty Cottage was the perfect bolt hole
The location is perfect for exploring the Cotswolds. A well appointed kitchen makes it easy to self cater but there are some lovely options to eat out just around the corner on the high street, Huxleys and Michael’s Mediterranean are very good.
Having a dedicated parking space right outside the front door was a big bonus. Everything about the cottage was cosy and comfortable, especially the bed. Would suit a summer or winter stay.
Have already recommended Crafty Cottage to several friends and will definitely come back.

A lovely cosy cottage
The cottage is conveniently located a couple of minutes from shops, pubs and restaurants. It was such a cosy cottage with the added bonus of a Christmas tree, which was a nice touch. We couldn’t find anything to fault with our stay and would definitely consider staying there again if we visit Chipping Campden again.

Crafty Cottage at Christmas
Thank you so much for the invidual touches such as the Christmas card and present. We had a wonderful stay and would certainly recommend Crafty Cottage. It was so cosy and very well heated in a very cold period. Some more cutlery and plates would have been appreciated as well as instructions for the oven.
Thank you very much.

Romantic stay in the Cotswolds
Beautiful cottage! Cosy country feel but with up to date and modern feel also. Perfect for a couple. Had absolutely everything we needed. Parking was ideal and such fab location to the gorgeous high street with lots of little pubs and cafes along with little shops to explore. Great location and no further than 15-30 mins drive from all of the locations we wanted to visit (SOTW, Bibury, BOTW, Burford & Clarksons Farm) we don’t usually stay in the same place twice but we both said we absolutely would!

A brilliant stay
Crafty Cottage is within easy reach of the centre of Chipping Campden. This village is breathtakingly beautiful and has all the amenities you might need. It is perfectly placed in the centre of many Cotswolds’ attractions. The cottage is very well designed internally with the bedroom a particular delight. The fact that there was a private garden was the icing on the cake; it was perfect for a lazy breakfast or relaxing evening with a glass of wine. We would love to visit again.

Comfortable cottage, excellent location
Cottage very well located & a big advantage having off road parking space! Comfortable & clean although surprised there was no welcome pack (eg milk etc) & no toiletries in the bathroom (shower gel). No towel provided in downstairs loo. Chipping Campden very pretty & some very good eateries within easy walking distance. We enjoyed our stay & exploring the local area.

Perfectly located cottage
Crafty Cottage was perfectly located for exploring Chipping Campden and surrounding area. The cottage had been very recently refurbished and redecorated and was very well equipped. The parking space was a bonus. Housekeeping responded quickly when we had a problem working out heating controls. The only niggle was the shower cubicle which we found very small but otherwise a lovely cottage and would definitely recommend. PS. There is no longer a downstairs loo although it is still in the description!

Cosy Cottage
Stayed here for 3 nights in May 2025. Crafty cottage is very cosy, with a very comfortable king size bed and well equiped kitchen. Private space for parking right beside cottage. Its located on a side street just off Chipping Campden main street so very handy to the shops and restaurants. Only downsides for me was the traffic noise from road, the very limited outside seating area and the uncomfortable 2 seater sofa.

Short Stay in Cotswolds
Good position in town. Internal decor tired and needs updating. Kitchen worktops sticky, obviously not cleaned properly, mugs dirty. Customer service poor on arrival. Over priced.

Great place to stay in Chipping Campden Cotswold
We enjoyed our several night stay in Crafty Cottage. The place was clean, roomy, quiet in a great location in Chipping Campden. We could walk to all the shops and restaurants in town. Also, great walking in the area. The hosts provided very useful information, including walking trail maps. The location was perfect for exploring other towns in the Cotswolds.
The only low spot was the communication from the host. There was utility construction in front of the cottage which had us lose our oarking spot for 3 days and electric power for a day. When I first noticed the road closed signs I messaged the host to see what was going on and never heard back. We know from neighbors that owners were notified about a month earlier of the road closure and electricity disruption, so we know the hosts were aware. It was disappointing we were totally ignored with no information. We had to work with the construction crew to figure out what was happening, including when we would get power back
