We had a lovely stay at The Old Mission Church in last weekend (October'24). We stayed 2 nights, Friday through Sunday, checking in promptly at 4pm. We were greeted by Julie, host, who briefly showed us around the building and gave some helpful hints about the local area (where to go, what to eat).
The accommodation is beautiful. Well sized and geared up to 4 adults (with 2 double rooms available, both with en-suite) plus plenty of spaces to chill out (bar in the kitchen, sofas in the lounge, dining table or outside on the patio, if the weather allows.
Julie had provided a welcome hamper with some essentials and some treats, all gratefully received. The accommodation is dog friendly in the truest sense of the words, with towels to clean them after muddy walks, outside hot and cold taps, spare poo bags and bowls in case you forgot yours, some complimentary dog biscuits and what I thought was a really sensible approach, some throws to put on the sofa should you wish your dog to sit on the sofa with you.
As Julie said herself "My dog wouldn't like it if they weren't allowed on the sofa, so yours are too, just please respect the sofa"
What's not mentioned is the water pressure. Best shower I've had in a long time. We took the walk from the village through to Ebrington and back, stopping at the farmshop and Pub along the way. A leisurely stroll and a couple of stops took us between 4-5 hours, a lovely way to spend the day. Would recommend for anyone looking to treat themselves, stay in what is a breathtaking accommodation and enjoy nature. MR

What a beautiful converted chapel. Love the attention to detail. Everything has been thought of. Thank you for the goodies & the delicious gluten-free cake (yes we would love the recipe!) Thank you for all the suggestions for places to go. We loved Hidcote National Trust & managed a lovely couple of walks. The Cotswolds is stunning. Fab being able to walk from the church & not having to take the car. Today we visited Snowhill, fantastic gardens. We then went to the Alain Rouveure Galleries and had lunch. So worth a visit, wonderful Nepalese products & all going to such a good cause! Wonderful wildlife - thoroughly enjoyed the Song Thrush twice singing outside and hearing the Owls hooting. D, J & I

What a stunning conversion - so beautiful and comfortable. We all had such a lovely mini break and loved all the Easter 'touches'. A great deal of thought has gone into everything and we were very grateful for the dog accessories, towels, etc, to keep things as clean as possible. The cosy wood burner was easy to light and added to the welcoming atmosphere. All the appliances were of a high quality and you had one of the best instructions / welcome folders I've come across. Thank you!! L & E, J & L.

The Old Mission Church has been converted into a place to stay, offering salvation from boring accommodations.
Confessing my love for a bath in a bedroom – this sanctu-lair is truly baptized in luxury. Living in the church for 3 days felt like a sermon on serenity, with holy ZZZs and sacred relaxation.
In this restorative haven, the church became a cosy cocoon of serenity. It wasn't just a weekend escape; it was a restoration of the soul, complete with divine fires, cinematic sermons, and local walks with my sister ( + the boys ) that felt like spiritual journeys
Pawsitively delightful discovery: The jet wash around the back of the church, equipped with a hot and cold tap for doggy ablutions, is the cherry on top of this stay + the dog towels and under-heated floor are an excellent addition. It's these thoughtful extras that truly deserve a round of ap-paws.🐾🚿

We stayed at this beautiful converted church for Christmas and were blown away from the moment we opened the front door. This place is magical. The owners have restored this former church with integrity and a perfect eye for design. They are generous hosts and ensured that our stay was perfect with a thoughtful hamper and fridge stocked with delightful essentials, plus a stunning 10ft Christmas tree! On a practical level the property was well stocked with every kitchen item you may need away from home and an abundance of logs and firelighters to ensure the wood burning stove could be kept alight. The location is fantastic for both walking and eating at local pubs. Without a doubt, this is the best holiday rental we have ever booked and if you are considering staying here, do not even hesitate to book. A jewel in the Cotswold crown!

Our stay at The Old Mission Church did not disappoint. The place was immaculate as we walked in, and the church was as beautiful as the pictures lead you to believe. We took our two dogs with us and Julie and Geoff had left us extra towels for them, along with poo bags and some treats. There was a lovely welcome hamper in the church - including wine, milk, tea, coffee, juice, a cheese board, crackers and some homemade goodies - what more could you want. Paxford itself is gorgeous and we went on some wonderful walks around the area. If you are stuck for walks to go on, Julie and Geoff have left an abundance of suggestions for you to flick through. The kitchen is very well equipped and has everything you need. There is even some white company toiletries for you to use.

Our visit to The Old Mission Church was absolutely fantastic and the building is phenomenal. We had been looking for somewhere unique to celebrate a milestone family birthday that was also dog friendly and from the moment we found the church we were besotted. From the outset I was greeted with friendly and responsive feedback from the owners who provided really helpful information about the booking and building but also local area and nearby restaurants we might like to visit. The building itself is truly special, it’s been restored with love and care to detail - original features like stained windows are stunning and the church feels light and airy with gorgeous modern amenities. The church has a tranquility and warmth to it matched by the owners who upon our arrival were super welcoming and little touches like a “happy birthday” sign and home-baked treats were really appreciated. Even the dog was sad to go home! We would recommend wholeheartedly and will be returning ourselves soon as the opportunity allows. GT

The definition of perfection is improving something until it is faultless. With the Old Mission Church, I disagree - it is coming the next day to replenish milk for breakfast when Waitrose left it out of our delivery! Julie & Geoff - the attention to detail speaks for itself. I have already taken down details of the wood-burning stove to replicate at home. I so need to know where you bought the adorable dog key hooks in the entrance. As you know we came with a new puppy and she felt most welcome. Anyone with a dog should embrace the love that is held within these walls. But the most special is the stained glass memorial window. Read it and you realise you are in such a special place. With Love CD.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful old church. Thank you for preserving part of history. I wish there were more places like this. Your homemade goodies were finished within a short time! We are very sad to leave this little bit of heaven. I was sad that the sheep were not here when we left, loved listening to their bleating and the sounds of the birds chirping. L, S, K & D.

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful property. It's stunning to begin with, then each day brings other surprises we find in the house and ornaments.
Your hamper and homemade food was the icing on the cake for a holiday we will always remember ❤️

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.

Dear Geoff & Julie,
Our stay has been everything we ever could have wanted. It made our honeymoon extra special. Thanks again for all of the treats you left us, it really made us feel welcome (and thanks for the mince pie recipe!). The Old Mission Church is absolutely glorious and we feel lucky to have been able to spend two weeks here. Thank you! L & L

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!

What a magical place to celebrate Christmas; we had a really very special time.
The Old Mission Church has absolutely "blown us away”, as has your generosity & warm welcome.
Wishing you both a really successful & happy 2022. With thanks C & S.

It has been a privilege staying at the wonderful unique church, that has clearly been so lovingly and sympathetically restored. It certainly has the wow factor, with an eclectic mix of old and modern, some of which have been preserved and utilised in an imaginative way. There was a very generous welcome pack on arrival which was more than expected; including homemade sourdough bread and shortbread, delicious. The owners went out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable and gave a really good overview of amenities, very high spec and super comfy bed. Location was great for us, particularly as we have a dog, lots of lovely walks on the doorstep and an excellent pub just over the road. Just what we needed.
