Moreton-in-Marsh, located in the picturesque region of Gloucestershire, is home to The Old Chequer, a charming boutique cottage that epitomizes the essence of Cotswold chic. This delightful retreat accommodates four guests and is ideally situated near the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Nestled within the serene hamlet of Draycott, The Old Chequer is conveniently positioned between the historic market towns of Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh, making it a perfect base for those looking to explore the breathtaking Cotswold countryside or simply unwind by a cozy log fire.
The Old Chequer boasts a rich historical significance, having been constructed on land referenced in 'The Bishop of Worcester’s Red Book' dating back to the 1100s. As a Grade II Listed building, this former village pub is one of the oldest properties in the region, with origins tracing back to the Sixteenth Century. This two-bedroom cottage is adorned with original features, including flagstone flooring, magnificent oak beams, and a grand inglenook fireplace that once served as a gathering place for locals. The sitting room retains the original inn sign that once welcomed travelers before the establishment ceased operations in the 1800s.
Expertly refurbished, The Old Chequer merges traditional charm with modern comforts, ensuring a relaxing and restorative stay. The interiors, painted in a soothing Cornforth White, exhibit a light and airy Scandinavian-inspired design, featuring plush sofas crafted by local artisans in Winchcombe, classic mid-century Ercol dining furniture, and luxurious bedding in the comfortable bedrooms. Each bedroom is equipped with its own bathroom, complete with walk-in showers and complimentary high-end toiletries, providing guests with a touch of luxury during their stay.
The property also offers a spacious, enclosed cottage garden that guarantees privacy, making it an ideal space for guests and their dogs to enjoy meals, play, or simply relax in the tranquil surroundings. With its blend of historical charm, modern amenities, and a beautiful setting, The Old Chequer stands out as a quintessential Cotswold retreat for those seeking both adventure and relaxation in the heart of the English countryside.
