About Chipping Campden

There's no shortage of pretty towns in The Cotswolds, but Chipping Campden is especially lovely with a graceful main street lined with postcard-perfect cottages in the Cotswold's golden-stone, where many of the best places to stay in Chipping Campden can be found. We've also tracked down some options that are just outside the town if you perfer a more rural stay. From pubs with rooms to luxury hotels, there really is an option to suit everyone here.

Part of the grace of the town can be attributed to its relative wealth. This was a big wool centre in the Middle Ages and the 'Chipping' part of the name comes from 'cheapen' or market, denoting the town's market town status. You can't miss the grand 17th Century Market Hall in the middle of the High Street and an impressive 14th Century wool merchant's mansion.

As well as grand residences and the extraordinary gardens of Hidcote, just four miles from town, the area around Chipping Campden is also home to several old mills, one of which became a centre for Charles Ashbee's Guild of Handicrafts, an important chapter in the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th Century.

The village is a hugely popular destination especially during the busy summer months. So if you want to book a room in one of the best places to stay in Chipping Campden you'll have to plan well ahead.
