East Leaze is a delightful Cotswold stone property in the wonderful market town of Chipping Campden.
This much-loved market town has a thriving local community, boasting a range of independent shops, pubs, tea rooms and restaurants for visitors and locals alike to enjoy.
Chipping Campden is surrounded by glorious countryside with walking trails and cycle routes aplenty.

The North Cotswolds is also well-placed for those looking for cultural day trips to the world-famous historical destinations of Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford and Blenheim Palace, which are all easily accessible.

Majestic trees at the rear provide welcome shade in the warmer months and hidden behind the foliage of the climbers lies a garden shed which can be used by guests to store bicycles.
There is free on-street parking available close to the property.
Instead of our providing a traditional holiday cottage welcome pack, we believe that guests to East Leaze should be able to pick and choose what they would like, whether it be basics, holiday treats, or an opportunity to sample fresh and delicious seasonal Cotswolds produce, and by doing so support the local economy.
We have much pleasure in presenting, with our compliments, a £10 gift card towards the cost of your shopping at our favourite owner-managed deli and food store, Fillet & Bone, in Chipping Campden High Street.
They have a mouth-watering range of produce combined with good old-fashioned service.
