The code for the key box was incorrect. Thankfully Kevin was available and gave me the correct code.
We were a couple with 2 dogs (asked permission in advance) staying for 4 nights. Lovely cottage with plenty of room for two. Central location with some good 1-2hr circular walks. It’s a five minute walk into the centre of Chippy which has a nice Italian restaurant Alberto’s and a market on a Wednesday. Traffic is heavy through the town, as is with most of the Cotswolds villages, but you cannot hear the traffic in the cottage. We had beautiful weather so the trails were not muddy.

Fine stay at Chipping Norton
The lower barn was compact with 2 bedrooms a bathroom and downstairs toilet.
Compact but comfortable the property was exceptionally clean with good quality beds and furniture.
Down a quiet alleyway and right behind the high street, thus little gem of a property was great for the two of us.
Only slight downside is finding the property and the parking is a bit tight.
Suggest the location is better described as the road behind the high street

Comfortable, high quality cottage
This cottage was ideal for our family visit. The adults in our group loved the king size beds and underfloor heating and the kids loved the stairs and big bathtub. The location was excellent, with a door opening right on the high street so it was a short walk to everything we needed. The only downside was that it was a bit tricky to find and some might find the parking spot tricky. Would definitely recommend and will stay again next time!
