Gorgeous property with a super location. The house had everything we needed and we loved our welcome package. Thank you we will definitely return.

We instantly felt at home in this pretty cottage. It is extremely well equipped, very clean and in a perfect location. We enjoyed a super short break after Christmas visiting Oxford and a lovely walk straight out the door to the Rollright Stones. As it is an older property, it is a little colder upstairs but there are plenty of blankets- maybe pack an extra jumper in the winter.

We stayed with our 13 year old daughter for a long weekend. Nice cottage, only a couple of very minor niggles that didn’t affect our stay - the cottage is very nice but we felt smelt a little musty downstairs (especially in the kitchen/utility area, although it’s an old house so maybe to be expected) Also, we would have preferred full size bath towels, rather than the smallish ones that the cottage provides, but these are very minor points that wouldn’t put us off staying again. Overall we had a lovely stay and would recommend

Loved The Smithy! Good communication throughout from the hosts - we were sent a message at 12pm saying it was ready for check in. We asked for a baby cot, a stairgate and a high chair and it was all set up prior to arrival. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and we made many meals there. Sainsbury's was just a few minutes' walk away and there was a small farmers market on Wednesday. All in all we loved our stay and would return.

We had a lovely stay at the Smithy. It was a very clean, comfortable house, with a well stocked kitchen. The location was excellent.

Beautiful place. It was spotless. The heating worked exceptionally well, the kitchen was well stocked with everything you could think of and more. The bedrooms were a great size and tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable. The power shower was superb! We will happily stay here again. A fantastic example of how to present a holiday cottage!

The cottage was extremely well situated for exploring The Cotswolds and Oxford. The parking permit was a huge bonus as it is very limited and the information provided for the stay was very good. The cottage itself was very clean and comfortable and extremely well equipped. It would of been nice if perhaps the heating could of been on for our arrival as when we entered the property it was very, very cold and took some time to warm up but this is not a criticism in any way as our stay was perfect.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Smithy just after Christmas.
The cottage is very homely and welcoming with a very well equipped kitchen. We appreciated the hamper and drinks provided by the owners that was a lovely touch.
The cottage is right in the centre of town, so the location is faultless. The cottage was extremely clean. We really enjoyed our stay.

The guys staying at this property told me that this was fully equipped with everything they needed & loved the house. They would definitely stay again if working in this area.

"The Smithy" is a very comfortable short-stay location, right in the centre of Chipping Norton. It provides ready access to an array of shops, restaurants, and pubs, with easy access to branded high-street supermarkets too. The property is a three-bedroom house, which suited our family size, with all bedrooms providing a good size. The kitchen is excellently stocked with all cutlery and china, with all facilities one would expect for cooking and catering for a small family (microwave, cooker, hob, etc).
Parking is really convenient, either on the adjacent street as we did, or else, by using the parking permit provided by the Host. This was really beneficial when packing and unpacking your vehicle.
We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay, with "The Smithy" with it also being really useful as a base to visit Oxford and Bicester Outlet Village, both are within easy reach.

Stayed with 3 friends for a couple of nights. Great location within a very easy walk of the local shop and pubs. Very comfortable, clean and tidy.
Would highly recommend. Thank you.

I cannot recommend the Smithy highly enough! We stayed for 4nts and it was perfect for our family of 4 with 2 younger children. It is in a great location in a quiet side street. The cottage provides a parking permit for a nearby car park which we were able to park in easily. The welcoming gifts were a lovely touch and we instantly felt at home. The highchair, stairgate and travelcot were already set up for us. The cottage is done out beautifully. It is welcoming and comfortable and very spacious. The kitchen and cottage itself is fully equipped with all the usual bits you normally have to bring so that was great. It is a welcome change to stay somewhere where people have thought of everything so you don't have to worry. We have stayed in a number of places and I can honestly say for us this was the best by far. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage for a holiday in the Cotswolds and we will definitely be returning. Thank you for having us.

Lovely holiday
This is a lovely cottage in a perfect location. Really enjoyed our stay and hoping to return in the near future.

The house is beautiful and well equipped . The village I of Churchill is beautiful.
The house is lovely and we’ll equipped. The open plan bathroom in the master bedroom was not to our liking and needs a stand alone shower. No privacy.
The wi-if was not too good and the water heater is attached to a Nest in the living room. We inadvertently unplugged it not realizing we would have no got water. The Nest should be placed somewhere else or have a notice attached to it not to unplug..
bathroom on the main floor needs a lock.
Lamp/socket in living room next to fireplace does not work. It’s not the bulbs.
Otherwise, it was a pleasurable stay had by all.

A great base for exploring the northern part of the Cotswolds. Property was clean and really well appointed. Loads of crockery, cutlery and kitchenware to use and a well stocked store cupboard that was massively helpful. The complimentary Easter egg was a lovely touch and very gratefully received by our toddler! There's a Sainsbury's at the end of the street and 10 min walk to an M&S Foodhall and an Aldi. The town itself has plenty of other shops and pubs but it's not a tourist trap. Outrageously good pastries and great coffees at the new MOR bakery at the other side of the town centre. All in all, there wasn't anything we could fault.

Fantastic
What a great place. Right off the town centre but you would never know it. Quiet residential street only steps from pubs and the main part of the town
Super comfortable house with everything you need for a great stay
Towels, hand soap and hair products so no running out to the shops for that
Item you forgot
FULLY stocked kitchen which was spacious and a great place to knock up a great breakfast with meat from the local butcher (Trev Beadle) which had amazing bacon and sausages
We loved our stay

Fantastic cottage in the centre of Chipping Norton!
We loved our stay at the Smithy! We have two small children and cottages can sometimes be a bit hit or miss but the owners of the Smithy have thought of everything! Stair gates/ high chair and cot bed at the cottage meant we saved valuable space in our car! The cottage is clean, light and airy and literally slap bag in the middle of Chipping Norton! We have stayed at a number of holiday cottages where we have to bring our own washing/dishwasher tablets and kitchen essentials such as salt/ pepper/ milk etc but everything we could need was included. We can’t recommend this cottage enough!

Enjoyable stay in lovely location.
We had an enjoyable 4 night stay at The Smithy. The cottage was ideally located in the town, characterful, and lots of places to visit within a close distance. As a family of 4, there was enough space and the cottage had everything we needed.
We would certainly recommend.
