Vine Cottage
Vine Cottage oozes space and elegance in the delightful village of Paxford, just outside historic Chipping Campden. You can tick everything off your wish list, a comfortable living room to lounge by the fire, a stunning dining room where you can all eat together, a well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast table and en-suite bedrooms. There’s even a quiet reading room and a fantastic garden so you can really spend your time here as you wish. Broadway and Chipping Campden are a popular choice for days out with beautiful architecture of Cotswold stone and so much choice for meals out. If you’re a walker you can follow the beginning of the Cotswold Way from here and popular days out like Batsford Arboretum, Snowshill and Cotswold Farm Park are all nearby.
Overview
Hidden away in this quiet corner of the Cotswolds you have both the idyllic countryside and the bustle of village life on your doorstep. Vine Cottage provides the ideal base for exploring, but you may find it difficult to tear yourself away from this fabulous house.
Staying here is a real treat and you feel comfortable as soon as you arrive. There is so much to discover, starting from the living room which is flooded with light. The large sofa calls for you to sink into it as the fire crackles. The most important part of a family holiday is being able to spend time together, and Vine Cottage provides this in abundance. A dining table seats eight with ease and there’s extra room in the kitchen if the children want their own space while still being nearby. French doors open out from the kitchen and dining room making this a fantastic spot in the summer months as you let in the fresh air. Head to the reading room for a more personal conversation or just for an after dinner drink and flick through a magazine. Across the first and second floor the bedrooms are divine. Each has a simple elegance with a TV and plenty of storage, two even have their own en-suite.
Outside the ease of space continues. Children and pets will love the lawned garden and there’s a BBQ and table and chairs if you fancy an al fresco feast. With parking for up to five cars, everything you could need is here!

Read our reviews
We recently stayed at the Bolthole Retreat's property in Blockley in the Cotswolds. We were two families of 4, and had a wonderful time. The property is excellent located, with good proximity to lots of nearby Cotswolds towns and sights, although the town the cottage is located in itself is limited and the local pub is currently closed for refurbishments. The pub actually adjoins the property once it opens, which could be a blessing or a curse, depending on personal preferences. The cottage is well furnished, with a good layout for two families, with a large, open style kitchen and dining room that can comfortably sit 10. Two main bedrooms each have en suite bathrooms, and there's another main bathroom. We had our kids stay upstairs in the finished attic bedrooms, which seemed to work well. There's a decent sized garden with outdoor furniture and a BBQ. There's a also a park / playground bordering the background which was great for our kids to play in. There's also private parking.

Great stay
We all had a great time in this beautiful house no complaints at all just take your own pegs .It was warm with lots of room for 8 of us
Judith
This Airbnb was terrific - comfortable, great location, charming. The host was responsive and very helpful. Highly recommend!
Irene
Lovely property, great location for walking and exploring local area.
Rosemary
Great Cottage
Great cottage for our break for a group of 5 friends.
Plenty of space, privacy and three bathrooms plus downstairs loo.
Large kitchen ideal for cooking and socialising with everything we needed. Plus large dinning room, comfy lounge and snug.
Weather too cold to use the outside space but enclosed garden and large table which would have been great.
Cottage in a pretty village close to so many amenities, surrounded by beautiful countryside and places to visit and walk.
Attached to the village pub which is being renovated but not noisy and didnt affect our enjoyment of the stay.
Would highly recommend.
Guest
Lovely cottage, with all the amenities you need as either a couple or single person. There are a lot of supplies like teas/coffee and stock pantry items in the cupboard. The bed is also super comfy! I was travelling on my own and felt very safe and secure. The host Juliet is very friendly and contactable, she also has lots of insight to the local area. The town itself is very quiet and private, but super close to places like Chipping Norton and Burford if you want to head out to somewhere busier.
Diana
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and spacious with all that we needed. Our party of six adults, three under fives and two dogs had ample space to enjoy our time there. The location was quiet and relaxing in a small village. Near to the house was a good play park and dog walking field.
Trevor
A fantastic house and fantastic stay
Sarah
Perfect cottage for a weekend away
A lovely home with everything we needed. Even in the rain we had a wonderful relaxing time. Great spot close to Moreton on Marsh where we did the recommended loop walk (2 hours) - very wet but a lovely route.
Drove to Daylesford farm and bourton on the water too.
Highly recommended.

Beautiful Cotswolds House in Paxford
We had a wonderful stay at Vine Cottage, Paxford. Tastefully decorated throughout, beautiful furniture, was a real home from home. Comfy beds and pillows. The Aga was a real treat on the cold days! We had a couple of points to note but they did not ruin our holiday and would not put us off staying again but think they are worth mentioning. We were woken up every night with the sensor lights and extractor fans going on and off intermittently in both bathrooms even though nobody was entering the rooms. If we stayed in the summer and sat in the garden you are exposed to people walking past so an enclosed fence would suit us better but this is personal preference as we also have two reactive dogs. The house is beautiful and in an ideal location so we would happily stay again!
Karen
Thank you so much for your lovely review and for choosing to stay at Vine Cottage. We’re delighted to hear that you found the cottage comfortable and homely, enjoyed the décor and furniture, and that the Aga was a welcome treat during the colder days. Thank you also for taking the time to share your helpful feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the sensor lights and extractor fans activating during the night and appreciate you bringing this to our attention — this is something we will look into to ensure a more restful stay for future guests. We also understand your comments regarding the garden; as you say, this can come down to personal preference, particularly when travelling with dogs, and we appreciate your honesty. We’re really pleased to hear that these points didn’t detract from your overall enjoyment and that you would happily stay with us again. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back to Vine Cottage in the future.

What a find …….great peaceful and beautiful location and not too far from the surrounding villages made it easy to visit . Beautiful decor and very spacious but cozy at the same time and everything we needed to make our stay memorable. Highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again.
Silvio
We loved it! The house was gorgeous and we had a fabulous time. We will be back.
Norma
We really enjoyed our short stay , the house was very comfortable and very well equipped. Very high standard of furnishings etc. Beautiful part of the country and would highly recommend.
Liz
A fantastic house
Vine cottage is a lovely place to stay. It was ideal for our family group ranging from 3 months to 65 years. Perfectly clean, very spacious and modern, beautifully furnished and very well equipped, it offered us everything we could ask for. We particularly loved the large dining area for our family meals. There is a garden for toddlers to play in and a very quiet park with swings next door. On-site parking for our three cars was so easy. I cannot find fault at all. They have obviously put a lot of effort into making it so comfortable. The location is also convenient for all the Cotswolds highlights. Thank you for our stay we will be back.

VineCottage August 2025
Bolthole Retreats found this cottage for us quickly after our original choice fell through. However we cant fully recommend the property because the pub next door is in the process of being renovated and scaffolding overlooks the house and garden. Fortunately no work was carried out during our stay. Parts of the house do still smell of smoke following the fire in the pub.
Gordon
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your recent stay at Vine Cottage. We’re sorry to hear that your experience meant you don’t feel able to fully recommend the property. On our website we mention under the Points of Note section £The Churchill Arms pub next door is currently under renovation". Your comments regarding the smell in the house have been shared with the property owner and housekeepers, who have taken this on board and are already looking into resolving the issue. Wen do hope we’ll have the opportunity to welcome you back to the Cotswolds again in the future.

Lovely place.
Kathy
Absolutely loved our stay, the pictures don't do this place justice. The house is really spacious and the location is stunning. The owners went out of their way to make our stay extra special and provided a parasol umbrella for outside as the weather was really warm on our second day, which was a really nice touch. 100% would recommend this place and are looking to visit back again ourselves.
Thomas
We stayed at this cottage with a family group including toddlers and dogs. The cottage was lovely, extremely well equipped, with lots of space for everyone. Plenty of great walks from the house. Communication with company, booking, cottage details and the housekeeper were excellent.
Elspeth
A lovely cottage, modern facilities in a great location - quiet but within easy reach of many Cotswold highlights - including The Farmer's Dog which was amazing! Our request to make bedroom 3 into a twin bedded room was met. A great cottage, location and facilities overall to enable us to enjoy a family get together.
Carole
Lovely house clean and everything on hand for what you need .Garden lovely and spacious for our 2 dogs they loved it and the play area for our granddaughter on our doorstep with beautiful views all around. Great location to visit places.
Tracey
We had a great stay here as a group of six adults. The house was immaculately presented—spotlessly clean, tidy, and very well maintained. The garden was lovely, and we really enjoyed relaxing and dining outside in the peaceful surroundings. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable with quality bedding and plenty of storage. The living areas were welcoming and stylish, with thoughtful touches throughout. The Amazon Alexa and large TVs in most rooms were a great bonus, especially for relaxing in the evenings.
Alan
Perfect place to stay in the Cotswolds
We loved our stay in this house. Its in perfect condition and the location is amazing. Its a very quiet area but easy walk to other villages and towns via Bridleways. One of our favourite houses in the UK.
Outdoor area is great and we were fortunate it to use it as the weather was great.
The dog loved it too! Perfect window seat for her when we were inside.
Highly recommended home from home!
