Astonishingly beautiful place to stay, every last detail taken care of and wonderful welcome. We loved staying here with our spaniel Bert. Good spot for walks, easy reach of lots of local villages and attractions. Warm, cosy, stunning place to stay and unwind.
What a fabulous review for our special property The Old Mission Church. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to leave your feedback.
Fantastic property in a great location appointed beautifully
Fantastic, beautifully restored property. Really thoughtful touches and epic sunsets. What’s not to love. Will definitely return!
What can I say other than what a find!!! Beautiful inside and out and to top it off decorated for Christmas with a yummy hamper to boot!! Geoff and Julie have thought of everything for a wonderful stay; we’ll be back for sure!! The Edbrington Arms is a must as is Flipside Burgers in the gorgeous Broadway.
This is an absolutely beautiful conversion. We enjoyed living in it so much we were reluctant to go out and explore the Cotswolds!
Great service, kept very well informed! Easy to navigate. Would def use again’
Great place. Very welcoming and friendly hostess. Highly recommended to choose this property for the weekend.
It was an amazing place to stay. Everything was absolutely Perfect . Welcome hamper and homemade products extra special. We will be booking to go back with our dog Bentley. . If you love walking miles then home to a BBQ and sit in front of a fire this would be a great place to stay
Beautiful in every way. A wonderful few days stay in this amazing place. So comfortable, relaxing and interesting.
Fantastic place, beautiful and spotlessly clean, could not fault it. Great touches with the welcome pack, love the homemade bread, biscuits and much more. We would definitely recommend and will be back, Many thanks from Mark and Caroline
The Old Mission Church has been impecabbly renovated, maintaining original features while offering five star luxury. The creation of a second bedroom overhanging the church is pure genious. The welcome pack from the hosts was full of delicious home made goodies and it was lovely to find a chilled bottle of prosecco and also chocolates as they had found out I was celebrating my birthday. Paxford is perfectly situated to visit an abundance of lovely Cotswold villages and historic properties and then return in the evening to relax on the terrace and plan the next day. Highly recommend booking ... such a unique experience.
The 0wners have put thought to every detail.Marvellous place.Very pleasant and hospitable owners.A must stay in a quiet picturesque village in a unique property
Absolutely fantastic. Great hosts, couldn't ask for more.
Easy booking process, beautiful converted church, warm welcome from Julie & Geoffrey plus delicious hamper. Many thanks!
Fantastic accomodation with very thoughtful owners who provide everything you need for a luxurious stay! Toiletries and welcome hamper were great, 5 stars for sure, we will definitely be back!
The Old Mission Church is an absolutely stunning property in beautiful countryside. Geoff and Julie are lovely hosts and made our stay really special. We would highly recommend staying here.
A stunning architectural celebration and a lovely home from home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved the ranges of spaces - gorgeous places to relax, very different bedrooms and a nice outdoor area to watch the sun set. Thanks to the very generous owners for their lovely welcome hamper and super advice on things to do and places to enjoy.
This is a newly restored Victorian mission church in the small Cotswold village of Paxford. Modern design and tech have been combined with period features including much original woodwork and stained glass windows to create a beautiful living space. It is very comfortable and practical, with all possible kitchen amenities, cooking utensils and so on. There is underfloor heating, radiators and a well stocked wood burning stove which kept us lovely and warm, despite the snow and freezing outside temperatures when we visited. The owners live in the village, showed us round when we arrived and stayed in contact during our stay. They also left a well provisioned hamper including fantastic home made bread and biscuits. The Churchill Arms is a very good eating pub directly across the road and we also had an excellent lunch at The Ebrington Arms, which is a half hour walk over fields on public footpaths. There is a very well stocked farm shop with a butcher and cafe on the way to Ebrington. Chipping Camden is an hour walk and has a wide selection of eating places, pubs and food shops. The countryside is beautiful and it was very peaceful when we were there. We had no need to drive during our three day stay. We very much enjoyed our time at The Old Mission Church and recommend it without any hesitation. And as an added bonus for gin or whisky drinkers I can recommend a visit to the Cotswold Distillery, which we did on our way home. They even provide taster samplers in little sealed plastic pots for the nominated driver to enjoy later!
