  The cottage was lovely in lots of respects , as described on the listing .

  Lovely location great local pub , The Great Western with a great landlord and lovely food . Local shop that's very convenient too . Beds really comfy all well appointed as a home . Overall lovely and would recommend. Only a few niggles and would prefer to have a direct convo than put public, as only niggles and didn't massively affect our stay . Parking- this isn't ideal . We arrived after a long journey in the rain and could not get anywhere near the cottage . We had to park ages away which if you are not fit to be lugging your stuff then this is a deal breaker . This didn't get any better as we stayed there . Could you not at least get a cone for day of arrival ? And the day of leaving. Few maintenance things , the toilet handle is loose and needs fixing as this pinches your hand . The toilet seat is also loose and needs securing . The bathroom is lovely and shower great . The stairs altho mentioned as steep , they are very steep and the hessian carpet a little slippy on them in socks - might need a look at . The heating was insane while we were there , and not being able to adjust was limiting . It was sooooooo hot everywhere . Even when we turned radiators off . The heating seemed to be on all night aswell . We do worry about your bills ! Only last comment was the downstairs did smell of dogs ...not sure if the previous people had dogs in and it was wet days. It wasn't a major thing but just to mention . And to mention again ,these are just niggles as the place is lovely and we had a lovely cosy time and I would definitely recommend , they are more things that may need just attending to for it to be perfect ! Thank you .

  A great cottage in a perfect location near the centre of Chipping Norton.

  The cottage has been renovated to a high spec, with really good facilities, great little kitchen, good bathroom and even a useful utility room. The rooms are all a good size, and the beds comfy! If over 6 foot, You will need to watch your head when going into the bathroom and bedrooms, and the stairs are a little awkward to come down as the beams are quite low at the bottom. There are great finishing touches throughout which are really lovely to see and made our stay really enjoyable. It's just a short walk to the Theatre and lots of pubs/restaurants and take-aways. We had no trouble parking outside each night, but you do get a permit to park in the premier inn car park which we didn't ever need to use.

  The cottage is well appointed, clean and comfortable in a great location for walks and has wonderful viewsaccross the valley, very quiet too.

  However, I know others have mentioned it but the stairs to the bedrooms are very steep (a rail at the top would make it less dangerous perhaps) and be aware there are no bathroom facilities on the top bedroom floor. I was impressed with the comfortable beds, nice linen and pleasant furnishings and well stocked tea, coffee, milk, biscuits on arrival was welcome. Our main disappointment was how poorly the garden was maintained. There was the large bin next to the outside table (perhaps have a neat bin store?)Messy garden bags and a pot with dead plants on the patio which has seen better days. Given the spectacular view and the sun trap on the patio, with a little bit of care it could be wonderful.

  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.

  The cottage was absolutely perfect for two couples and two children.

  The welcome cake was much appreciated as was the milk and coffee. We thought the owners had done a brilliant job of making the cottage nice and modern but keeping its gorgeous original features. Absolutely loved the loft bedroom and cosy living room. We brought a tipi for the kids as a late Christmas present and this stayed up in the living room all weekend so it was great to have room for the kids to play in it. Stairs were quite steep which was a worry with the kids but can't be helped. Overall thought Chippy Cottage was beautiful and homely and could have definitely done with more than three nights there!
