Chippy Cottage
Description
Chippy Cottage is a beautifully refurbished Cotswold stone cottage, dating back to the 17th century, located in the heart of the well-known market town of Chipping Norton. The cottage is the perfect homely base for exploring the lovely Cotswolds as a group of six or in conjunction with neighbouring Garden Cottage for larger groups.
A raised footpath leads you up to the front door of Chippy Cottage, which opens into a small hallway and into a warm and inviting sitting room that has lovely exposed Cotswold stone walls, oak beams and an inglenook fireplace with a warming woodburning stove and a unique, traditional bread oven; providing a welcoming and tranquil space for you and your loved ones to sink into the inviting sofas and watch a film using the DVD player connected to the Apple TV.
The chef of the group can rustle up a delicious evening meal in the well-equipped kitchen/diner, which is a small space that has been cleverly designed to maximise the available space, home to a wooden dining table for you to enjoy your meals at whilst toasting to your holiday ahead.
A handy utility room sits adjacent to the kitchen/diner containing a convenient dishwasher, microwave and washing machine so you can leave with a bag full of clean clothes!
When night falls, wooden stairs lead you up to the first floor where you are welcomed by a peaceful reading area with a bathroom at the end of the hall and two bedrooms, the first of which is a spacious, well-presented room with ample storage, a Smart TV, a quaint window seat and a king-size bed, the second has an eye-catching oak timbered wall, a sweet window seat and twin beds.
An attractive staircase with attractive exposed wall and rope handrail guides you up to the eaves of the property where you will find the inviting third bedroom with lovely oak beams, wooden flooring, a Smart TV and a king-size bed.
Once you laid your head to rest for the night, enjoy your morning coffee in the small courtyard garden and soak up the morning sun and fresh country air and get ready for the day before heading out to the centre of Chipping Norton and enjoy a delicious breakfast at The Tea Set, before heading to Chipping Norton museum for a touch of history or on warmer days have a fun-filled day at Chippy Lido, before having a wonderful evening meal at one of the many pubs that sit within Chipping Norton such as The Red Lion and The Fox.
A short car journey will bring you to Chadlington where you will be able to indulge in delicious hamburgers, cool draft beers, lagers, ciders and rosé, and also the interesting cow juice at Diddly Squat Farm!
Nearby Kingham is a peaceful and secluded village, an excellent centre for walking and cycling with a number of walks and cycle rides centred on the village, set in the broad Evenlode valley with wide open village greens and a village shop, a church and two pubs; The Kingham Plough and The Wild Rabbit.
Chastleton is pretty little village lying close to Chipping Norton, where you can visit the well-known Chastleton House which is a splendid Grade l listed Jacobean manor built in the early 1600s.

What guests are saying
Excellent cottage.
Very pretty inside. And quiet location but close to high street. Bedrooms all good size and great configuration of twin / double beds. Great, small but super kitchen which was well equipped with open plan to dining table. We enjoyed the cake! Thank you. Only recommendation would be an additional small arm chair in sitting room. And a hand towel in bathroom. Towels rather small and a couple old (in twin). Also some oil in kitchen would have been good. And advice on parking would be helpful as it was very busy. Overall a lovely place though and hope to return.
Fantastic little cottage with everything you need - like home from home.
The only negatives are parking as hard to get a space and the mattresses need updating as really uncomfortable. Stains on sofas (most probably due to lack of respect of other people’s stuff. If you spilt anything you would at least clean or clear it up and not leave it to the hosts). Bring your mosy spray as we got bitten quite a lot. Lots of midges flying around. Kindle enough for two days so be prepared to buy your own after that. Fire place is amazing! Thanks to Sam & Jamie for the delicious lemon drizzle cake left for us and the milk so we could have a pot of tea with it. Thanks for a great stay. Would 100% recommend.
Generally we found Chippy Cottage very nice, cosy and clean, however we felt that it needs updating and modernising.
For a property that sleeps up to 6 people having only one bathroom was a bit of a nuisance, having another shower room /toilet maybe downstairs would be better. The TV in the bedroom at the top of the property didn’t work and the stairs were dangerous with no anti slip carpeting/flooring Also the carpet in the double bedroom on the 1st floor was curled up and we tripped over it several times. One of single beds legs (nearest window) in the twin room was faulty and needs replacing. If it was modernised but still keeping the character of the this beautiful cottage it would be the perfect
Good to know
