About this property
Set within the pretty Cotswold village of Paxford, The Old Mission Church has been extensively renovated and lovingly restored to create a fabulous and luxurious holiday retreat in this beautiful historical building dating back to 1866. A stunning, architect designed, open-plan interior perfectly complements the many original architectural and historic features of the church. Perfectly placed for exploring all that the wonderful Cotswolds has to offer.
On entering the property, guests will be wowed by the designer kitchen with its large central island, flowing into the living and dining areas. The church is packed with original features including original doors, stained-glass windows, vaulted ceilings, the clock mechanism, and bespoke furniture and lighting.
Bedroom one boasts an en-suite and is located on the ground floor, where guests will be sure to enjoy a good night’s sleep with its sumptuous king-size bed and cloud soft pillows. A modern free-standing bath adds a touch of decadence to this beautiful room. Climb up the bespoke glass and steel staircase to the mezzanine ‘Pod’ where bedroom two also enjoys a king-size bed and en-suite shower room. A glazed screen provides privacy whilst affording a striking view into the church interior.
Outside is a pretty south-facing and beautifully landscaped seating area, complete with painted pews. A patio to the rear of the church overlooks stunning open countryside and is the perfect spot to enjoy heavenly sunsets.

We absolutely loved this place! Beautifully restored, a great island in the kitchen to sit around and catch up over drinks and a beautiful welcome pack which so many stays are now deciding to go without! Great touches!!

gorgeously restored and designed interior preserves the historic exterior of the Church and children's school. Comfortable, spacious, memorable experience. Generous welcome hamper provided by owners who were also available by WhatsApp to respond quickly to inquiries. Excellent beds, top of the line appliances (dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge, oven/stove, microwave, toaster, electric hot water heater), excellent shower (and deep tub for those who might enjoy this), pretty patio and view of the countryside including a walking path along side the grounds. Wood and starter chips provided for the in-home fireplace and rubbish, recycling and compost/food waste bins provided as well. In summary, one of the most unique and most beautiful places I have ever stayed on holiday. Thank you Julie and Geoff!
