| About Us |
Chipping Campden is quite correctly thought to be the most beautiful of the small Cotswold wool towns and is renowned for its restaurants which are all within a few yards of the Old Bakehouse. It is also a very well placed location for your visit as it is only 12 miles from Stratford on Avon and its world famous theatre, and within 25 miles of Oxford, Cheltenham, Warwick and Gloucester.
Chipping Campden is in the heart of the Cotswolds, which are designated as a national area of outstanding natuarl beauty and the start of the Cotswold Way, which is a national trail that stretches 100 miles from the town to bath.
Like many of Chipping Campden's mellow stone houses The old bakehouse has a wealth of old oak beams and crooked walls. The house is in fact one of the oldest in the town and part of it dates from the 14c. It provides the perfect setting for the
warm welcome that awaits you from Sarah, along with sumptuous breakfasts and a cosy open fire in the winter.

| In late May early June the town has its annual fair and the "Cotswold Olimpiks" which were the first modern re-enactment of the Olympic Games, at which William Shakespeare is documented as having attended. As the Old Bakehouse was then believed to be a pub on the outskirts of the town, and with Williams love of drink he probably got drunk in our front room!! |
