Visit the Little Oak Vineyard, an award-winning vineyard where you can try and buy wonderful wines.
Slightly further afield you will find a sizeable 20th century garden in Hidcote Manor Garden, which is run by the National Trust and is home to two lovely cafés, gorgeous gardens with narrow pathways and lawn games.

This market town defines the saying "good things come in small packages" as it proves itself to be a wonderful place for tourists to stay. Chipping Campden sits in the northern part of the Cotswolds and boasts many historical buildings from St. James' church where the Chipping Camden Music Festival is held every year, to the early 17th century market hall upon which the town prides itself. Not only does the town have a rich history but much more, the high street is laced with charming Cotswold stone buildings with a range of shops and pubs. Nearby there are several beautiful, formal gardens for you to wander through. Chipping Campden has held its own 'Olimpick Games' since the early 1600s including peculiar sports such as 'shin-kicking', most certainly worth lining your holiday up with to experience something so unique. For a dose of famous history, head to the birthplace of William Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon just 12 short miles away, it offers some charming little buildings, bookshops, theatres and museums.

The information folder in the cottage did advise that in rainy/ damp weather there would be a drain odour and advised to keep the door closed to the utility room. There was little rain and no damp conditions during our stay but the odour was quite overpowering so the door was kept permanently shut. Even then it did seep through to the adjacent kitchen. The problem needs to be addressed.
