About this property

Upper Folly, Paxford near Chipping Campden - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

Nestled within the Cotswold's undulating landscape, Upper Folly is situated in the small village of Paxford - a largely undiscovered village lying close to some of this AONB's most iconic spots. As you approach the home, you'll pass elegant honey-hued homes and tranquil fields that really set the tone for your stay in this blissful part of the world.

Traversing three floors, Upper Folly fuses its Cotswold heritage, visible through a classic stone exterior and rustic beams, with the artistic vision of the owner, who has swathed it with personality. A high point is the elegant blush pink kitchen, which is complemented by a communal island, mustard-hued appliances and sparkling gold-tone accents. From here, push open the bi-fold doors and step down into the home's pièce de résistance - the expansive outside terrace area where comfortable seating and a BBQ invite you to enjoy lazy afternoons. Wander onto the grass lawn and gaze back at Upper Folly to truly soak up its magnificence before gathering friends and family at the fire to roast marshmallows.

Upstairs, two floors play host to plush king-size rooms each with their own luxurious en-suites that are just as sophisticated as the ground floor. And whether you use this colourful space as your base for exploring the high notes of the Cotswolds, or choose to spend your time lounging in the garden and taking leisurely strolls around the village of Paxford, Upper Folly is your invitation to indulge in luxurious countryside living.

*2 well-behaved dogs are welcome for an additional cost each. Please let us know if you will be bringing a dog and we will them revise your booking confirmation. The pet fee is NOT included in your booking fee. A request for an additional fee per pet will be sent to you after you have placed your booking. Your pet fee must be paid for before your arrival date.*

Ground floor

Entrance Hall:
Step into Upper Folly's light-soaked entrance hall to be greeted to the home in style. We love the stone flooring, charming cushioned seat and bewitching highland bull sculpture pinned to the wall.

Sitting Room:
Cast in a majestic navy blue colourway accented by mustard yellow sofas, the sitting room oozes style from every angle without compromising on the cosiness created by the crackling wood burner and soft lighting.

Shower Room:
With its discerning slate grey tiles that frame the shower, a string of gold-tone accents and art on the wall, the ground floor shower room is a sneak peak of the elegance to come at the rest of Upper Folly.

Kitchen:
Undoubtedly the centrepiece of this creative home, Upper Folly's kitchen exudes artistic luxury thanks to an array of sophisticated style choices - notably blush pink cabinets, a large island complete with three bar chairs and hanging lights. All the essentials are on hand too, including an oven, microwave, dishwasher and Sage coffee machine.

Dining Area:
Whether you rustle up farm shop finds or tuck into a cheeseboard and wine, Upper Folly's dining area seats six and invites you to pull out a chair and enjoy the tranquillity of this area. Top tip: open the bi-fold doors so the serene sounds of nature can form the backing track for your feast.
First Floor

Bedroom Two:
Mirroring the refined taste of the rest of the home, bedroom two features a king-size bed with storage underneath, generous skylight and splendid wave shaped ceiling light. We love the view of the garden from the French doors and the floral detailing cohesive with bedroom one.

En-suite:
Next to bedroom two, you'll find a sparkling shower room and WC which really up the luxury element of this space.

Bedroom Three:
There's a distinctly boutique feel to bedroom three, where a king-size bed, in-built wardrobe, curved wall mirrors and beams form the most serene spot to sleep after a day exploring. We love the floral blinds, muted colourways and handy storage under the bed.

En-suite:
Bedroom three's en-suite is a stylish nook complete with a shower, WC and hand basin for freshening up.

Second floor

Bedroom One:
Wander up to the second floor to find sanctuary in bedroom one. With its cloud soft king-size bed and rustic beams providing timeless charm, it's signed off by a luxurious roll top bath that invites you to truly switch off as the sun sinks below the skyline.

En-suite:
Bedroom one's en-suite features a WC and sink, as well as an LED mirror apt for beautifying before dinner.

Outside
Step outside, and you'll immediately feel a sense of calm as you soak up the expansive outdoor space that really brings Upper Folly into its own. Commencing with a luxurious seating area featuring a central fire and BBQ, it continues with a lush green lawn where two seats are positioned perfectly for morning coffee. Wander down to the bottom of the garden and you'll find the most charming handmade seating area congregating around a second fire apt for gathering friends and family.

Great house in quiet village

We all loved our stay at Upper Folly (helped by fantastic weather). The house was spotless on arrival, beds were very comfortable and the kitchen well supplied with all we needed to cook while we were there. There are lots of lovely walks from the house - we particularly enjoyed walking to the farm shop Vegetable Matters (and butcher and cafe next door) in Ebrington. The bakery, Mor, just outside Chipping Camden made an excellent running destination for two the fitter members of our party.

Fabulous stay at Upper Folly

What a gem. We were celebrating our daughter’s 30th. The house was perfect for 6 adults and 2 dogs and had everything we needed. It was so cosy and very clean. Perfect location for some excellent walks and good pubs in the vicinity.

Wonderful stay at Upper Folly

We come to the Cotswolds every Christmas and have stayed in a few different properties, upper folly is absolutely one of the best we’ve ever stayed in! We’d not stayed in Paxford before - it’s so pretty as is neighbouring Blockley; the village shop in blockley was ideal for bits and pieces. We visited the Ebrington Arms down the road for lunch which was gorgeous and it was a good driving distance from Chipping Norton etc. We would have loved to explored Broadway but the storm hit so we stayed in and fired up the lovely log burner in the snug for the afternoon. All bedrooms are en suite which is so helpful, wifi was great (we’ve stayed in a few where it’s been really poor) which was ideal for work and the kitchen is absolutely stunning and very well equipped! We’ll definitely be back in summer so we can test out the bbq area and fire pit. Great stay all round

Spacious Country Cottage in Paxford

Great 2 night stay with 2 friends. We all had a luxury ensuite bedroom. Quiet location but on doorstep to Cotswolds towns. Very clean cottage with all facilities including a log burner, perfect for winter evenings. Gorgeous, spacious kitchen and loving the pink cupboards and underfloor heating. Would absolutely recommend Upper Folly for a luxury break.

Great property for a get together with friends and family. We stayed in the winter but it would be even better in the summer with the kitchen opening out on to a great enclosed garden with barbecue. Centrally located for lots of Cotswolds attractions but you do need a car as there are no shops or pubs within walking distance.
Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2024

A lovely stay

We enjoyed three nights at Upper Folly. The home is beautiful and a treat to stay in. The host is very attentive and handled a small issue quickly. The only item to note is that we felt a car was necessary in order to enjoy the surrounding area.

A excellent stay

We had a wonderful two nights stay. Upper Folly was very well equipped and everything was of a high standard. The weather was beautiful so we were able to make good use of the comfortable outdoor furniture. There was a choice of places to visit within the locality and the surrounding villages were beautiful. Would highly recommend.

Being there for a week with small children, a washing machine would have been useful, however, we knew before hand there wasn't one.
