  We found Victoria Cottage to be a pleasant stay over the Christmas week.

  The cottage is in a great location in Chipping Norton, walking distance to all local restaurants, pubs and supermarkets . The large rear garden is a great asset (would be lovely during the warmer months!). The car space is tight but was available at all times during our stay. The property falls short overall cleanliness and maintenance. Cleaning supplies provided were slim and lack basics. We had to request a hoover and dust pan which was provided same day. After use of Difficult to maintain the cottage without providing the essentials. Fireplace was a lovely feature but no instructions to remove the ash build up. Victoria Cottage is in a great location within the Cotswolds but does require improvements. The cleanliness of the cottage including dust throughout needs to be addressed. The mould in the upper bedroom also illustrates the overall maintenance issues of the cottage. These issues can be addressed with continuous maintenance. Overall Victoria Cottage is a nice rental but does require improvement. Location, layout and outdoor space is great. Just needs deep clean and more soft facilities. Victoria Cottage appeared a more clinical rental compared to prior rentals I have stayed with Manor Cottages.

  Victoria Cottage was a lovely base to explore the Cotswolds and surrounding areas.

  The cottage was warm, cosy and comfortable and was based a very short walk from Chipping Norton. We didn’t do much cooking but the small galley kitchen looked well equipped to make meals. There was a secure private garden for our dogs, (but make sure the gate to the busy road is closed as this is shared with a neighbour to access a small path leading to neighbours garden). Chipping Norton has plenty of pubs, shops and restaurants and we went there most evenings for food and drink. The locals are really welcoming and friendly and the pubs and restaurants welcomed our dogs just as warmly. The blue Boar and Chequers were our favourites and Alberto’s Italian Restaurant was a great discovery. As well as providing great food and drink Alberto’s welcomed our dogs too, it’s well worth a visit. The Cotswold villages are breathtaking and there are photo opportunities at every corner. Would definitely recommend Victoria Cottage and hope to return ourselves as there are still plenty of places we didn’t get around to visiting.

  We can only compare with previous like for like properties we’ve rented in the Cotswolds at Xmas period.

  The property has the potential to be a nice house but lacks maintenance and needs a refurbishment. We had plumbing issues but in fairness the Agent/owner rectified the issues quickly. Previously our Xmas rentals provided excellent festive decorations but none was provided here. The house is fine for 4 but tight with 6 persons staying. Again going on previous experiences items like dishwasher tablets and cleaning products were in abundance but nothing here. No welcome hamper either. Furnishings and beds were comfortable.When renting for 6 you expect tableware for that number but only catered for 4, the same with some crockery like dinner plates. The property sits on a main road but we never found this a problem.The parking for One car is very tight though. Maybe it’s the company standard against Rural Retreats who we used previously that offers a different level . We made the most of the location and generally had a nice time.Tweeks and refurbishment could make a big difference

  The cottage was ideally placed in central Chipping Norton, albeit on an extremely busy road with tight parking.

  The beds were very comfortable - BUT - this cottage needs some serious maintenance to justify the rental costs. There were several missing lightbulbs, broken/damaged furniture (bedside cabinet on 2nd floor and basement coffee table) and some window blinds were coming unstrung. The ceiling above the dining area had peeling, blackened paper hanging off - probably a result of a leak from the bathroom above. The downstairs toilet has mould on the party wall, and the garden needed a good weed and bushes cut back. Such a pretty cottage but definitely needs some love.

  Wonderful place to stay.

  Everything was clean and the cottage was warm, even though the weather wasn't! We found the location was excellent, good choice of shops nearby for necessary items and some lovely gift shops too. During the week we managed a day trip by train to Oxford (there's a mainline station with parking at Kingham). Local farm park (Adam Henson's) very good for a day out too. Owner was extremely helpful and we would love to come back. There is a busy road outside, but if you want to be near a town, that's part of being in a convenient location.
