The Old Mission Church in Paxford is a beautifully restored property receiving high praise for its comfort, modern amenities blended with period features, and warm hospitality from the owners. Guests enjoyed the local pub, scenic walks, and the thoughtful welcome hamper, making it a highly recommended stay in the Cotswolds.
Guests consistently described the property as spotlessly clean, indicating meticulous attention to cleanliness.
The property's location is celebrated for its beautiful countryside and proximity to local attractions, though one mention of parking challenges slightly impacts the perfect score.
Reviewers found the property very comfortable, with underfloor heating and a wood burning stove, contributing to a cosy and relaxing experience.
The facilities are highly praised for their modern design and comprehensive amenities, including a well-stocked kitchen and outdoor area. A single mention of the lack of wardrobes/drawers slightly affects the score.
The owners' thoughtfulness is highlighted by the provision of a well-received welcome hamper, though it's noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.
Set within the pretty Cotswold village of Paxford, The Old Mission Church has been extensively renovated and lovingly restored to create a fabulous and luxurious holiday retreat in this beautiful historical building dating back to 1866. A stunning, architect designed, open-plan interior perfectly complements the many original architectural and historic features of the church. Perfectly placed for exploring all that the wonderful Cotswolds has to offer.
We are delighted to confirm commencement of restoration works in January 2025 to the much loved village pub, the Churchill Arms, following a tragic fire and closure in 2022. However, this will of course involve ongoing building works just across the road from The Old Mission Church for approximately 12 months. During this period, a discount of 10% has been applied to 3 night stays, and 15% to stays of 4 nights or longer.
On entering the property, guests will be wowed by the designer kitchen with its large central island, flowing into the living and dining areas. The church is packed with original features including original doors, stained-glass windows, vaulted ceilings, the clock mechanism, and bespoke furniture and lighting.
Bedroom one boasts an en-suite and is located on the ground floor, where guests will be sure to enjoy a good night’s sleep with its sumptuous king-size bed and cloud soft pillows. A modern free-standing bath adds a touch of decadence to this beautiful room. Climb up the bespoke glass and steel staircase to the mezzanine ‘Pod’ where bedroom two also enjoys a king-size bed and en-suite shower room. A glazed screen provides privacy whilst affording a striking view into the church interior.
Outside is a pretty south-facing and beautifully landscaped seating area, complete with painted pews. A patio to the rear of the church overlooks stunning open countryside and is the perfect spot to enjoy heavenly sunsets.
Additional Information:
Sorry, no children. The open-tread staircase and overhang of staircase has sharp edges, therefore unsuitable for children.
An infant under 6 months of age is welcome in own Moses basket - guests are asked to bring their own baby equipment as this is not provided.
Two well-behaved dogs are welcome (small additional charge).
There is a hairdryer in the porch cupboard.
The bedding is feather.
There is no dedicated parking for the property. Vehicles can be parked outside the Church for a short while to unload luggage, but then must be parked along the road or on one of the other surrounding roads.

Astonishingly beautiful place to stay, every last detail taken care of and wonderful welcome. We loved staying here with our spaniel Bert. Good spot for walks, easy reach of lots of local villages and attractions. Warm, cosy, stunning place to stay and unwind.
