Cotswold Holiday Cottages: Hookes House, Chipping
Campden
Sleeps 4. - Prop No C096
Hookes House is attractively located on the delightful Square
in the heart of this beautiful market town. Recently converted,
this charming apartment has many character features including exposed
timbering, stone mullioned windows (two having very pretty stained
glass windows) and Cotswold stone fireplace. Ideal for one or two
couples and perfect as a base for exploring this beautiful area,
the property has its own access down a side alley and is above Malvern
Strollers clothes shop. The apartment has been beautifully furnished
with attention to every detail and provides a very comfortable holiday
home that you can enjoy any time of the year. A stroll from the
door is a wide variety of smaller shops, restaurants, pubs and hotels,
many with pleasant terraces or gardens where you can enjoy a meal
or drink outside on warmer days. The beautiful wide High Street
is unspoiled with many magnificent buildings for you to admire and
pleasant footpaths around the area ensure you can take full advantage
of the scenery with or without your camera!
For serious walkers the Cotswold Way begins in the Square just
opposite the apartment and continues for just over 100 miles ending
in Bath. It passes along Dover’s Hill (National Trust) close
by the town, where there are superb views.
Point of interest: The hill hosts the annual Robert Dover's ‘Cotswold
Olimpicks’ (usually held the 1st weekend in June) followed
the next day with the Scuttlebrook Wake in the square. Traditionally
the Scuttlebrook Queen is crowned here and entertainment is provided
by Campden's Morris Men and local children dancing.
