Super property, has everything you need or could want, great location,
We had a marvellous time at Chapel House. Bampton is an excellent location from which to explore the Cotswolds and wider area. The house itself was beautifully decorated and the facilities were first rate. The only improvements we would recommend are: a pull down blind to be fitted on the glass of each bedroom door as there was 'light leakage' between the two bedrooms via the small landing. This led to people being disturbed when occupants of one room went to bed before occupants of the other bedroom!
Lovely property in a good location. But no garden nor off road parking.
Such a great stay at this lovely property! Everything you could possibly need provided. We very much hope to return! Great location for exploring the Cotswolds and the fabulous places to eat. Some lovely walks for the dogs too!
The chapel was amazing beautifully restored and decorated
A fabulous house with great comfort, quality equipment and furnishings, everything that you could need. Lovely to be right in town with easy walking to shops and pubs. There is no assigned parking, but that was not a problem as it was always very easy to park in the High Street very close by. Highly recommended, we would be very pleased to stay again.
It was a beautiful elegant property. The moment we opened the door we loved it. It was very well equipped, it had everything you could wish for. Situated in the busy village of Bampton where some of Downtown Abbey was filmed. We enjoyed our stay so much we would love to return again next year.
Beautiful property, well equipped, thoughtfully and attractively furnished, sparkling clean, comfortable, a real pleasure to be staying in. The housekeeper was very helpful. The welcome pack was good though not as generous as some Rural Retreats properties at which we have stayed. It was a shame that company policy doesn’t allow literature to be left since we would have appreciated information on local walks etc - and perhaps more about the history of such a wonderful building. Not quite the full 5 stars because the televisions didn’t work properly- upstairs mainly OK but did break up. The downstairs didn’t really work at all. However, we very much enjoyed our stay in this very special property. Thank you.
Very good but no bbc1 or 2 on TV. No oven trays.
Excellent location, well equipped, comfortable, spacious, clean and relaxing. Housekeeper Helen very helpful. Biggest drawback is no outside space apart from a tiny cramped corner in the alley next to the bins. From its condition it looks as though it doesn't get used. This was shown on the property description and was therefore not a surprise, but the weather was great and we couldn't really sit out comfortably for a G & T before dinner. The lady next door kindly supplied a table and we took chairs from the dining table and sat on the lane at the front of the house. It's also a pity that the bedroom and bathroom windows can't be opened for fresh air, which we understood was a planning stipulation. Other than that, a very enjoyable stay.
Beautifully converted chapel. Very clean and comfortable.
A really lovely house, very relaxing environment, and beautiful walks nearby. It was absolutely spotless on arrival. We found so many great pubs and dinner options. My only one criticism was the quality of the bedding which simply didn't do the house justice; the pillows were hard, thin foam and the duvet just didn't feel cosy or of the standard expected of a Rural Retreats rental. Hope that helps. Thanks.
Lovely accommodation - very clean and well provided with everything you need provided. Situated in a quiet village and lovely walks from the door. Although parking is not available there is easy parking on the street very nearby.
Very comfortable and clean house which was well equipped with everything that we might need for our stay. Very generous welcome hamper was very well received.
Excellent property, everything you could ask for in a holiday cottage. Very comfortable and homely. Has the wow factor. Great location within a very pretty village.
An amazing property in a beautiful village. Chapel House was immaculate, beautifully presented and equipped, spotlessly clean. Bampton is described in reviews as a hamlet - it is not. Its a large village with a wide range of amenities - far better than we thought. We would thoroughly recommend a stay at this property.
Beautiful and well appointed with lots of thoughtful details. Very well placed for visiting various villages and Oxford. We hope to return.
First class facilities, spotless luxury property.
When I opened the front door I was blown away with the interior of the property which was absolutely stunning. The decor was chic and sympathetic to the original purpose of the building. The bed was extremely comfortable and the kitchen appropriately stocked. Clear instructions for appliances were useful. Chapel House was situated within easy reach of Cotswold villages like Burford, Bourton on the Water and Stow on the Wold. I would love to stay here again.
This was a lovely place to stay. It was clean, comfortable and had everything we could possibly need. The welcome hamper was a nice, generous touch. We would highly recommend this house.
