This wonderful semi-detached retreat resting on the outskirts of the quaint village of Childswickham, close by to bustling Broadway, is the perfect getaway for a gathering of friends or a family who are seeking a relaxing break surrounded by the beautiful countryside of the Vale of Evesham.
As you arrive on the property grounds of Mount View, you are welcomed by a large gravel driveway that houses up to four cars, before you step through the front door and into the smart entrance hall, where to your left you will find the tastefully decorated sitting room where you and your loved ones can relax of an evening, catching up on your favourite show on the Smart TV, whilst the heat from the gas stove-effect fire warms the whole downstairs.
Adjacent to the sitting room you will find the large and sociable open-plan living area, which is flooded with natural light due to the two bi-fold doors and glass roof lantern, and has everything you will need to rustle up a delicious evening meal, before you all retreat to the wooden dining table to tuck into your feast and cork open a bottle of wine, before retreating to the large corner sofa to allow your dinner to go down as the dishwasher helps you with the cleaning up!
A glass door leads you through to the useful utility room complete with washing machine and tumble dryer, and further onto the cloakroom with a basin and WC. The downstairs benefits from underfloor heating which is perfect for warming your toes on a cold winter evening.
Take the evening outside to the patio area, where you can enjoy your glass of wine sat at the seating area that sits underneath a parasol, surrounded by a generous lawn running the length of the property and gorgeous flowers, shrubs and trees, as the fabulous uninterrupted views towards the Cotswold Hills puts your mind at ease.
The property boasts four well-decorated bedrooms, including a dual aspect king-size on the ground floor, ideal for those with limited mobility, which boasts a walk-wardrobe and an en-suite walk-in shower, while upstairs presents a king-size with stunning views a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite walk-in shower, the second a double and the third a single, which share their floor with the contemporary bathroom where you can have an indulgent soak amongst the bubbles.
Once you awake in the morning, head down to the kitchen and make yourself a warming mug of coffee using the Nespresso Pixie coffee machine before getting ready to head out for the day; head over to nearby Wayside Farm Shop and Tearoom for a delicious breakfast before enjoying a fun activity with your loved ones at Cotswold Clay Pigeon Shooting Ground and finishing off your day with a heart-warming meal at Childswickham Inn & Brasserie.
Close by Broadway has an array of art galleries, gift and clothes shops, three inns, a number of tea rooms and many more, retail therapy combined with good food and drink is to be enjoyed in Broadway, as well as Broadway Tower which is The Highest little castle in the Cotswolds and a real tourist attraction here.
In the nearby bustling market town of Chipping Campden there are many attractions and shops, you can take a leisurely walk around the 17th century Market Hall in the centre of the town and the East Banqueting House, just a little further on, or have a wonderful afternoon at Little Oak Vineyard, an award-winning vineyard where you can try and buy wonderful wines.
Train enthusiasts will be delighted with the light railway of Evesham Vale Light Railway, which operates in nearby Evesham Country Park and covers a mile through the park, including a lengthy section through the fruit orchards.

Everything was spotlessly clean with a very well equipped kitchen. Comfortable seating areas and bedrooms. Nice bedding and towels provided. It was lovely and warm, a little too much at times, but saying that it was very mild out. We may have welcomed the warmth in more typical November weather. Only small thing I would recommend is maybe putting a mirror in the 2 smaller bedrooms upstairs. Overall a really good property for a family get together or for exploring the beautiful local area, will hopefully return.

One of our party has limited mobility, so the ground floor bedroom with ensuite facilities is just what we need. The house is spacious, well equipped and versatile. Just a few little touches would make it 5 star: there is no towel rail in the downstairs toilet; the radiator heating upstairs was ineffective and there were no instructions on how to boost it.

What would make it a 10 out of 10: * Less noise from the road * Curtains runner and stop missing front room * Clean up Insects and spiders and webs windows and corners * Pillows for outside furniture * Sciccors * Filter coffee machine (we bought one ourselves) * More clothes hangers * Larger bed in upstairs room * No squeaking sound boiler (had to turn temperature down): kept guest awake in that single room * Get floor heating in bathrooms working * Get towel heaters in bathrooms working * More cupboard space in upstairs rooms
