You'll find this gem of a traditional Cotswold cottage in the heart of Chipping Norton with its array of shops, pubs, restaurants and lido. There’s a wonderful garden with several seating areas and you can pick strawberries, raspberries or apples in season. Inside, the kitchen is compact but has everything you need for home cooking and comes with the owners’ favourite cookery books to inspire you. You’ll also find character features and a wood-burning stove, and we love the views from the bedrooms of the garden and the town’s 15th-century church. This well-loved home away from home is the perfect place to create lasting memories with your loved ones.

Home truths
This is a detached cottage and it is down a short alley off the street. There are steps (five and then two), plus the house was originally two cottages, so there are more steps inside, from each room to the next on the ground floor.
The bath has a hand-held shower.
A starter pack for the woodburning stove is provided.
Two well-behaved pets are welcome (downstairs only).
This is a lived-in home, which we think adds to the charm. Expect some of the host's personal belongings to be present during your stay.
Roadside parking is available (with patience).
There is a pub a short stroll away.
