The Dutchy
The Dutchy comprises two spacious barn conversions - Ledge View and Hill View Rise, which stand adjacent to each other in the most glorious setting. Accommodating up to 14 guests in seven bedrooms, this is a beautiful location for gathering your loved ones together or celebrating stylish hen parties. With an abundance of open-plan living space, this is a place where you can enjoy a range of experiences without leaving the comfort of The Dutchy, from mobile beauty and spa treatments to exclusive wine tastings, the options are endless. The barns are surrounded by wonderful walks, including the Cotswold Way and there are some excellent places to dine in nearby Chipping Campden.
Overview
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, spacious living areas to relax and unwind and there is space for 14 guests to dine together in Hill View Rise.
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.

Lovely Stay
Fabulous accommodation for 14 members of our family aged 6 months to 98!
Bedrooms are spacious with very comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchens! Nice and warm on cooler days.
Spacious garden area, well maintained
Minor criticism would be low backed sofas and no lamps in living room - just bright central/ wall light.
We had a lovely stay!
Pam
Great place for a family gathering
We had a fantastic family weekend at the Dutchy. It is in a beautiful countryside setting with a large outdoor area for games etc. there is plenty of room inside for a large group.
Guest
80th birthday weekend for 11
Great accommodation that suited 3 different generations and 4 separate family groups! Comfy, warm and the shared areas were excellent. We missed out on some potentially stunning views due to foggy weather but it's a lovely setting. The walk back from the village bar was super steep - be warned!
Victoria
Excellent property in a great location just outside Chipping Campden. Spacious for our party of four and clean. Lots of walking which can either be done from the door or starting nearby.
Lots of quintessential Englishness nearby (villages, pubs, restaurants, quirky shops etc).
Dave
Excellent
A group of 9 friends stayed for 3 nights. Very happy to highly recommend. Immaculately clean, really comfortable beds, well equipped kitchens. Very short walk and on to the Cotswold Way. The Nissan Hut is a very warm accomodation, we stayed end of October/early November and had the heating off and windows open! Customer service was outstanding, all questions answered promptly and extremely helpful. Thank you!
Clare
Great location
The views over the countryside were outstanding. The rooms in The Dutchy are large and comfortable, equipped with everything you need. The location is close to the Cotswold villages but a car is necessary. It was warm and cosy and we had 4 fabulous days.
Susan
Clean and tidy with everything we expected from our booking.
Stephen
A great place with excellent disabled facilitie
We used both the properties making up the Duchy for 7 people including a wheelchair user. Great facilities for disabled in the Nissan Hut.
Both properties beautifully refurbished and would easily have accommodated a larger number of people. As we are all in our 70s on a College reunion break our only slightly negative was the comfort of the sofas, which were too low for us but I am sure would be fine for younger generations! Great setting and super, sheltered balcony in the barn for outside eating with a great view.
Kay
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us on your recent stay at The Dutchy. We’re very glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Your valuable feedback regarding the sofas has been shared with the property owner who has taken this onboard and is looking into it. We hope to see you in the Cotswolds again soon.
- Bolthole Retreats, 24th September 2025
We had a brilliant family holiday here, thank you so much! It was great for children with stair gates, children's crockery, fenced off garden, and with the two upstairs bedrooms in the larger building being adjoining. So nice for everyone to have their own space but also have large enough communal spaces as well. Perfect!
Alexandra
Lovely properties with lots of space and worked really well for our group. Beautiful views and well equipped. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable.
Liz
Great S/C barn with modern facilities in super location for N W Cotswolds
Group of "old" friends" took both units which provided excellent facilities for 7 gents requiring their own bedrooms and bathrooms. Plenty of space to cook, eat and relax in the evenings after walking days.
Overall splendid accommodation which we would be keen to return to in future.
Our suggestions for improvements are therefore secondary but important to increase enjoyment:
1.Towels are too small for adults. 2. Issues with use of RHS oven need checking 3. Dishwasher tablet dispenser required degree
4. Kitchen kit - Pyrex type jugs or alternative needed for microwave usage and Pyrex jugs for both units please.
Incidentally, Safety catches on upper bedroom windows prevent air passage in hot weather!
Kenneth
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us on your recent stay at The Dutchy. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Your valuable feedback regarding the towel sizes and kitchen equipment has been shared with the owner and housekeeper, who have taken your comments on board and are looking into them. They've also confirmed that the oven, dishwasher tablet dispenser, and window catches have now all been fixed. We hope to see you in the Cotswolds again soon.
- Bolthole Retreats, 8th July 2025
Fabulous property which worked really well for us - a group of 11 old friends (aged 60). We spread over both properties - there was plenty of room for us all to gather in the living areas, and the large kitchen table was plenty big enough for us all to sit together. One of the rooms had its own wet room which was fab for a member of our group currently using crutches. The outside area was lovely too. The village of Chipping Campden, with its shops, cafes and pubs was a 20 minute walk away -the views from the Ridge were fabulous. All in all, a fabulous stay, which we all really enjoyed. We would definitely return.
David
Good value with plenty of space.
Anu
Great place to stay - can walk into Broadway and Chipping Campden, both villages beautiful. So much to do. The area is incredible - much to do within a short drive but honestly I think just walking into the two villages I’ve mentioned is the best thing about this place - park up and just be car free for a weekend.
Juliet
We had such a fabulous stay. The bedrooms worked for our families and the two buildings gave everyone space. We brought garden activities for the kids which was great, plenty of space to run around. Inside was as clean as you would have hoped for. Location was ideal as a base to explore. We loved it.
Louisa
Wonderful stay
We enjoyed a multi-generational birthday celebration with family coming from different parts of England and Wales. The accommodations were well equipped and really spacious for 11 of us. We were fortunate to have good weather and made use of the outdoor space appreciating the peaceful surroundings and views. We were pleased to find Dover Hill and its walks so near.
Linda
Beautiful location
This was ideal for our families to get together. Worked well having two properties next to each other. Location was great. Excellent walks nearby, Dover's Hill was just up.the road.
Kerry
Our group of 13 had a pleasant stay at the Dutchy!
The stay at the Dutchy was phenomenal, it is in a nice and secluded location. Glad it was near a hiking trail. Although from the house Ubers cannot be used a Taxi works out just fine. Ubers can be used in the surrounding area and at least to get to the Dutchy.
The beds are comfortable, the shower I used was hot however other guests had to deal with cold water. The home looks very nice inside and out, great decoration and facilities. Both houses have kitchens which we found really helpful as well could switch between the two on different days.
Amazing living spaces for larger groups to hang together. Lots of seating. Would stay again!
Guest
Thank you for sharing your feedback on your recent stay at The Dutchy. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time there, though we're sorry to learn that some of the showers were cold. Your comments have been passed along to the owner and housekeeper, who wish you had reached out during your stay, as they would have been more than happy to assist. A plumber has now been arranged to visit as soon as possible. We hope to see you all again in the Cotswolds soon.

Great Cottage Collective Getaway
Both properties were stunning, clean and comfortable. Perfect for our annual get the friends from across the country together. The sheep made great neighbours. We did a treasure trail at Chipping Campden. Had a fabulous Sunday lunch at The Seagrave Arms. Visited the Broadway Tower. Used our Bolthole Retreats discount code to visit the stunning Sudeley Castle. We would all highly recommend The Dutchy.
Karen
Fabulous
We were a group of eight on a WRAF reunion. Previous to this stay we have used hotels. Not any more. The Dutchy was comfortable and spacious and gave us the opportunity to sit together and reminisce past times.
It is very central to many places in the Cotswold, however, a car is necessary.
The Dutchy is well equipped and has a log burner for colder times.
We enjoyed it so much , we are looking to book again next year in the next few days.
Susan
Excellent
We stayed in both cottages at the Dutchy and were SO impressed with the facilities, the amount of space and value for money. We were a group of 12, aging from 2yrs to 50+ looking for a good value family holiday and the Dutchy gave that and more. The tips of places to go, the cleanliness and the small touches such a tea and biscuits left, made it so easy to settle in and enjoy ourselves. Every single person walked in and said wow isn't this lovely.
We would absolutely recommend this to others, and have already spoken about returning in the future! You made our summer holiday, thank you so much.
Kirsty
AMAZING
We were here for our son's wedding at Lapstone Barn , 6mins away by car,so convenient. The properties worked so well for us. Fantastic location lovely properties, lots of space . Weather was great as well which was a bonus. We will definitely be coming back. Only small thing would have liked more outside seating and maybe a light , but with no light pollution the night sky is amazing.
Great big property for.large groups.
Joanne
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay at The Dutchy. We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and congratulations to your son. We have shared your feedback with the owner who has taken your points on board, and these will be looked into.
- Bolthole Retreats, 17th August 2024
A wonderful stay...
We stayed in both properties at The Duchy, and couldn't have been happier with all aspects of our stay. The properties themselves are unique - such interesting conversions, and we enjoyed seeing pictures of the original buildings in the Welcome pack. The view from the balcony is truly wonderful, looking out across to the Malvern hills. Both properties are extremely generous - the proportions of every room were huge. Ample space for our group of 14 and a lovely garden area to enjoy. Well equipped and spotlessly clean. We did some good walks directly from the property, one day walking to Broadway - around a 4 mile walk, and another walk getting onto the Cotswolds Way to visit Broadway Tower. You can pick up the footpaths easily. We also visited one of the two pubs in Weston Sub-Edge which was very welcoming. We couldn't fault our stay and I hope we get to go back.
Joanna
Lovely weekend break with friends
We recently spent two nights at The Dutchy and had an excellent time. Lovely properties suitable for all ages and a pet dog too! Wed definitely look to book again
Carys
Great accomodation and location
The Dutchy was ideal for our party of 10, and was extremely conveniently located just outside Chipping Camden. We had all the information we could need prior to arrival and we don't really have any negatives about our time there. I'd say this property is ideal for a group that wants to spend a bit of time together, yet it also affords you the ability to have a bit of your own space too should you want it.
Ben
Great place for a family get together
The space at both properties worked really well for a family get together to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. The rooms were large and the kitchen provided everything we needed over the weekend. Nice countryside views from the upstairs rooms and lots of outside space where the children could play safely. It's well located, just a 35 minute walk to Chipping Campden where there's lots of pubs and shops and we also visited Cotswold Farm Park which was about a 15 minute drive away. We would definitely return.
Ellie
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your review of your recent stay at The Dutchy. We are very glad to hear that you all enjoyed your stay and congratulations to your parents on 50 years. We hope to see you all again in the Cotswolds soon.
