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.

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.
