“We had a lovely stay at Anvil Cottage.”

The owner was very pleasant and even sent us details of places we could visit during our stay a few days beforehand so we could organise our itinerary if we wished. The cottage is in a delightful village-so quiet and peaceful but with amenities just along the road in Chipping Norton. The view of the village green and fountain from the windows is very pretty.

The owner was very pleasant and even sent us details of places we could visit during our stay a few days beforehand so we could organise our itinerary if we wished. The cottage is in a delightful village-so quiet and peaceful but with amenities just along the road in Chipping Norton. The view of the village green and fountain from the windows is very pretty. Everything has been thought of in this cottage. The equipment and decor are of a high standard and the beds the most comfortable we have ever had in a holiday cottage. We slept extremely well. We would strongly recommend this cottage for anyone wanting to explore the area. There are many delightful places to visit within a few miles and some good places to eat out. If we were to return to this area,we would definitely try to stay at Anvil Cottage.

Simon December 2024

“We thoroughly enjoyed Anvil cottage.”

A very pleasant and pleasing place to stay in an attractive village. It is clean, warm and well equipped and was nicely decorated for Christmas. In good weather the garden will add an extra dimension to be enjoyed.

- Simon, December 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. We are pleased to hear that you had a great break at Anvil Cottage. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner
Paul November 2024

“Excellent lovely cottage nice cosy.”

Good location opposite the pub. We couldn't find any fault with the cottage. Even coffee and cake at the village hall

- Paul, November 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback, it's always nice to hear when guests find little places like the village hall to have coffee and cake during the stay, a wonderful tip for future guests. We hope to welcome you again soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Helen November 2024

“Cottage is in a lovely peaceful setting.”

Looking out of the bedroom and lounge window to see the monument. Cottage was accurately described and had everything we needed. The owner came out to say hello on the first evening and asked if everything was okay. When we booked the cottage we forgot to mention that my husband has a feather allergy because of his asthma, and we realised when we got to the cottage that the duvet was a feather one. We were just going to use sheets instead of the duvet but the owner very kindly looked for an alternative and found a non-feather duvet for us to use. Thank you, we really appreciate this! The owner left us to enjoy the holiday but when we bumped into her in the car park, she was friendly and gave us a few tips of what is in the area. The chequers pub is opposite right across the road, food was lovely with local beers on tap. We found a good walk to do aswell from the cottage.

- Helen, November 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback, it sounds like you both had a wonderful time and made the most of the things to do in the area. It's a great location to explore the Cotswolds and further afield. We hope to welcome you again for another stay soon. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Elaine October 2024

“We came on holiday with friends, and Anvil Cottage provided the perfect base for us.”

Effectively, we had two separate wings of the house for sleeping/bathing and plenty of space for dining and relaxing. We loved the woodburner and the kitchen was well-equipped. Our host made some recommendations for us that added to the overall enjoyment of our break. Perfect!

- Elaine, October 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are so pleased that you and your friends enjoyed your stay and liked the location. We hope we can welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

Ian September 2024

“A really lovely village cottage, in excellent condition.”

The accommodation really lived up to the description in the advert. It was very comfortable and the facilities made it feel very much like home. There was a wealth of information provided about the numerous local attractions - we needed more time to do them proud! We particualrly appreciated the very "light touch" applied by the very friendly owners. We knew that we could easily contact them without any concerns that we were being a nuisance. The only observation, hopefully positive, would be that the stairs were quite steep, which meant that my wife had to be helped up and own, as she is disabled - reference to that in the advert, could be helpful to potential clients.

- Ian, September 2024

Many thanks for your kind feedback. We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay and your comments are much appreciated. We have not received any previous observation about the stairs but will adapt the commentary to suit, thank you. So glad the weather as favourable for your visit too. Best wishes, Anne-Marie & Paul Property Owner
Lynn September 2024

“This cottage is situated in the perfect position to explore the Cotswolds, and if you are a National Trust member, then there are several places to visit near by.”

A lovely welcome pack including cake and milk. That was appreciated. The most comfortable beds and beautiful linen. Heaven. For us, there was only one little niggle…no freezer. We bring most of our food with us, I knew that the only freezer was the freezer box in the fridge, that was the only negative. Many thanks to Anne Marie and Paul, for letting us loan their cottage for a week…and light the fire…we love a good log burner.

- Lynn, September 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are very glad you enjoyed your stay and made the most of visiting the National Trust properties nearby. We are sorry the kitchen does not have a separate freezer but appreciate you pointing this out for future guests. And we are so glad you found the beds comfortable. Best wishes, Anne-Marie & Paul Property Owner
Christine August 2024

“The property is beautiful, comfortable and spotlessly clean in a delightful village with easy access to the Cotswolds and the fascinating city of Oxford.”

One very small minus - the smart TV is not connected to the internet. Not important to many but could be useful on a rainy day.

- Christine, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Anvil Cottage. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay with us and we would love to welcome you again soon. We will of course ask the question regarding the TV for future guests. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Celia August 2024

“Great property and welcoming hosts.”

Greeted with a welcome pack including milk and cakes which were much appreciated. Lovely homely cottage with excellent facilities in gorgeous village. Great local pubs for food & drink - The Chequers across the road and Kingham Plough a 30-40 minute walk away in next village. A perfect base for exploring the Cotswolds

- Celia, August 2024

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and made the most of the places that the area has to offer locally. Best wishes, Anne-Marie & Paul Property Owner
Steven July 2024

“We stayed at Anvil for a week in July and it's a lovely cottage, set in a small but beautiful village.”

Unfortunately due to its location it wasn't for us... there is a childrens playground right next door that older kids congregated around that caused noise pollution late evening, along with the constant sound of running water from the village fountain which was also right next to the property. The bed in the master bedroom has a VERY firm mattress, which may suit some people but unfortunately for me immediately brought on a very painful pain in my hip and we ended up leaving a day early. Although the property was generally clean, there are many cobwebs (watch out for BIG Boris behind the headboard), we had to descale the kettle and shower head on day one, and all the crockery and cutlery required cleaning before use! Don't be put off by the garage next door, as they work quietly and caused no interference.

- Steven, July 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the cottage and its location did not suit you, what a shame. We have passed the issues you raised onto the owner to be investigated. We do hope that you consider choosing a Manor Cottage on another occasion and are more successful in finding a property more suited to your requirements. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Kath July 2024

“Ann-Marie is a wonderful host.”

Helpful but not intrusive. Had a lovely time visiting the places in the area and the cottage is a great base to do so.The cottage, is very clean, comfy beds, big bedrooms, plenty of outdoor space. Bedding is immaculate! Dropped a star due to legs on tub chairs in living room being broken (we did inform Ann-Marie) Also think a small freezer would be a good idea in the kitchen. On some reviews it says about a fabulous welcome pack.....we got 4 coffee bags and a packet of brownies. Hardly a welcome pack but its not the most important thing when everything else is near perfect

- Kath, July 2024

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Anvil Cottage and found the location to be such a good base for the area. We have passed on your comments to the owner and hope this didn't impact your stay in any way. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Marjorie June 2024

“Lovely house, very comfortable beds, and everything was lovely and clean.”

The only beef we had was that the patio table and chairs were covered with bird droppings so it was a major clean up if we wanted to use them. Because it is under trees it would really benefit from having a patio set cover and some cushions. Our hosts were really nice and even though they were close by, we had lots of privacy. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

- Marjorie, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your recent stay at Anvil Cottage. We are so pleased to hear you had a lovely time at the house. Unfortunately we cannot do much about nature, but we will pass on your comments to the Owner and see if they are able to look at getting covers for the garden furniture or look to move the table to another location that's not under the tree. We hope to welcome you again in the future for another stay in the Cotswolds. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

“Anvil Cottage is clean, comfortable and homely - the perfect place to relax and unwind.”

Kim September 2023

“Would be more beneficial to have a small freezer in the kitchen rather than a table.”

The washer/dryer the dryer was not at all good and we wasted hours of electricity getting clothes dry. The only other thing i would say was a negative would be that all the pillows were soft and this is the first place i have stayed in that did not have a mixture of hard and soft. The cottage itself is quaint, ideally situated, very central and warms up really fast. Just those few niggly details.

- Kim, September 2023

Apologies for our delay in replying. The dryer unit to the washing machine has since been replaced and we regret the inconvenience this caused. Your feedback on the feather pillows is appreciated; guests have not requested a choice of soft and hard pillows before but we will offer this option in future. We are glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise and thank you for staying. Best wishes, Anne-Marie Property Owner
Maureen July 2023

“It was absolutely first class in every way.”

I had looked for an old English cottage in the Cotswolds for our friends from the USA to enjoy. It was perfect. Central location, the facilities, the comfort and lovely hosts. All the little extras like the welcome pack too. With two bedrooms with their own bathroom it was ideal for two couples.

- Maureen, July 2023

Thank you so much for your feedback. It's lovely to hear that you enjoyed your time away and took full advantage of the property! We hope we can welcome you again one day in the future! Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner

Robert June 2023

“A really lovely cottage.”

When we saw the owner she told us that it had been converted from the stables of the forge some years ago. It has all the facilities that you need and the shower has lots of pressure. The sloping ceilings may not suit everyone but we found them querky and delightful adding charm to very well maintaind cottage. The cottage is next to a large village green area with two playing areas for children (one up to 7 year old, the other for larger children) but you do not suffer any undue noise. There is plenty of room for ball games and the field is dog friendly. The Chequers across the road supplies very good food (but is £££). Overall we very much enjoyed our stay at Anvil Cottage and would certainly book again.

- Robert, June 2023

Thank you for your comprehensive review and information useful for future guests. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and hope we can welcome you back again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

Jo December 2022

“Anvil cottage is the perfect holiday house for 2 or 4 people, with 2 large double bedrooms and 2 en suite bathrooms, plus a cloakroom downstairs.”

The wood burning stove, in addition to the C/H ensured we were toasty warm despite the sub zero temperatures and snow during our Pre Christmas break. Ann Marie and Paul could not have been more helpful and were the perfect hosts. They had left us some delicious goodies in the kitchen and brought us some extra logs before we were able to pop out and buy our own. The cottage is perfectly situated for all the major attractions of the Cotswolds, including all the picture perfect villages, Adam`s Farm, railway link to London and much more. What ever time of year, Anvil cottage and Hosts will not disappoint.

- Jo, December 2022

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback. We are so pleased that you had a fantastic stay. We hope to welcome you again. Best wishes, Manor Cottages Property Owner

Anthony February 2022

“Cottage is furnished to a high standard.”

Beds and mattresses are very comfortable . Internal layout is very good and location was exactly what we were looking for. Only slight grouse is a departure time of 10.00. The cleaner turned up at 9.55! It would have been helpful to have an extra hour to pack and load the car as we had brought quite a lot of things with us so that we wouldn't have to cook, and the condition of rental was that beds had to be stripped and the cottage cleaned up prior to departure.

- Anthony, February 2022

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay and we're so glad you were happy with the cottage and location. We're so sorry about the departure time - this is standard for all our cottages as there needs to be adequate time for a deep clean and turnaround before the next guests. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

“Absolute little gem of a cottage.”

Hosts are so lovely and helpful - went above and beyond for us. If you want to stay in the area this is the best choice! The cottage had everything you need including a delightful little garden and while there is a garage next door it's an MOT garage so hardly a noise was heard. We didn't even notice them there. We will definitely return :-)

It is the only cottage we have visited, and there have been many, that we felt we could live in permanently.

- Janet, October 2020
Alexander September 2020

“The only thing that would have made the break easier would have been a grab rail near over the bath.”

As pensioners it was a bit difficult. The cottage was great and would highly recommend it.

- Alexander, September 2020

Thank you for highly recommending Anvil Cottage. We will pass the comments onto the owner regarding the grab rail over the bath. Many Thanks Manor Cottages Property Owner

“Delighted to find a comfortable, well equipped and spacious cottage.”

Two extremely comfortable beds and two en-suite bathrooms (plus downstairs loo). Wifi was excellent (for those who cannot do without). Situated on the edge of a lovely little park. Also opposite a great inn (the Chequers) with very good food. We would certainly visit again.

- John, September 2019

- H, September 2019
Steven July 2019

“Strange to be next to a working mot garage, still it was enclosed and private and who was in during working hours (not us).”

Location was great for many attractions and local countryside excellent for walking. Usual miss mash of pots, pans, cutlery very unusual for some one to actually think things through for the amount of people who may stay and their cooking and serving needs. Managed as usual. Hosts were helpful but not intrusive especially morning of departure when water to village was cut off and they supplied bottled water.

- Steven, July 2019
Ellen April 2019

“We had a lovely stay at anvil cottage it was very comfortable and lovely places ...”

We had a lovely stay at anvil cottage it was very comfortable and lovely places to visit around the area the cottage could benefit of more storage and crockery but otherwise it was lovely

- Ellen, April 2019
Carol April 2019

“The improvement I would like to see would be in the kitchen area.”

Saucepans were limited and not in the best condition and food preparation was difficult with the knives provided. However, generally the cottage was beautifully presented and was in a lovely area

- Carol, April 2019
Ann April 2019

“The directions to the property were clear.”

We appreciated the comfy and spacious bedrooms and enjoyed having breakfast in the conservatory on our first morning. Unfortunately, as we were only there Friday afternoon to Sunday morning and I spent 11 hours in A & E on Saturday we were not able to appreciate it as fully as we would have liked. The only minor point is that I couldn't find a tea strainer so couldn't drink the jasmine tea we had brought with us!

“The cottage was well equipped with lovely touches ie fresh flowers & candles.”

The cottage is situated across the road from a pub which serves excellent food. It’s a quiet location in a beautiful setting.

“We absolutely loved our stay at Anvil Cottage and we would like to come back for future breaks in the Cotswold.”

The cottage was spacious and fully equipped with everything that we needed for the long weekend. Little touches like a small pint of milk and tea bags so we could have a cuppa and candles that we could light in the evenings, just made it that little bit extra helpful and comfortable. We made use of the log burner/fire place and it was just super cosy, perfect for a winter getaway. The instructions to get to Anvil cottage and key collection were also super easy to follow and we made it there without any trouble.

“This cottage is a real find, beautiful, great facilities, warm, next to a park and fields, and in the heart of the Cotswolds.”

Very highly recommended, but like to go back!

“A very clean and comfortable, well maintained, homely, well appointed cottage with many thoughtful touches, fresh flowers, milk in the fridge, toiletries, etc.”

In a good, quiet location, ideal for exploring the delightful villages and towns in North Cotswolds. The pub opposite served delicious food and was very welcoming. The very pleasant owners of the cottage were on hand but allowed us privacy. We would definitely stay again.

The property

Tucked away in the middle of this beautiful Cotswolds village Anvil Cottage is a little gem!

Hidden away, literally, the cottage enjoys a peaceful spot in Churchill, itself perched a short distance from Chipping Norton and Stow on the Wold.

Inside the property is a good size, very comfortable for four people, with two ensuite bedrooms upstairs and a welcoming living space and kitchen downstairs.

The living room is calming and cosy in equal measure with a traditional wood burning stove and doors to the garden; the kitchen is well and fully equipped but with such a superb pub across the road and others in surrounding villages, you may well decide to treat yourself again and again!

There's a conservatory overlooking the garden too, which itself has attractive cottage-style planting and matches beautifully the style of the property.

Beyond the garden is a fantastic playing field which has an enormous open space, cricket field and a small playground.

This is a lovely, homely cottage which is a perfect getaway in a lovely Cotswolds village.
