Chipping Norton break

Had beautiful weather for our stay, location was great for accessing the town. The cottage was comfortable and clean inside, slept well area was quiet and the beds were good. We had to clean the windows downstairs externally because you struggled to see out they were that dirty and the patio furniture needed cleaning unable to sit outside to enjoy the weather

A gem of a cottage

Arrived early and was able to access. Location excellent for walk into Chipping Norton. Quiet area, parked just outside the door. Cottage had all you could wish for. I, being of an age, struggled a bit to work tv, as no aerial, so I guess through wifi, but multitude of channel options. Lovely little enclosed courtyard though we never opened the door. Easy process from online booking to leaving.

Great space Great location

Enjoyed the stay at Snowdrop cottage. Parking was easy, either outside or close by. The TV relies on you having apps to be able to watch. Easy to walk into Chipping Norton from the house where there is good butcher and local shops. Enjoyed being close to great Cotswold places to visit. Well equipped kitchen for those who wish to cook.

Snowdrop cottage chipping Norton

Lovely cottage great location. Bread eggs milk and fruit juice nice welcome touch. However the bathroom sink was disgusting. The plug hole was full of hair and sink hadn’t been cleaned properly. Very disappointed especially as rest of the cottage was clean. No feed back from the owners regarding this.

Lovely small cottage but needs a bit of a paint and TLC

Really good location for visiting the Cotswolds and good walking distance to town. The cottage itself is really nice but needs a lick of paint as the walls are all marked. Shower is incredible and the beds really comfy. We arrived dead on five (the arrival time) and the cleaners were still there which did ruin the experience a bit as we were left waiting outside with no apologies from them who saw us waiting outside. We waited about 15 minutes for them to leave. Having no freezer was also a bigger issue than we thought. Good cottage for a base but slightly expensive for what it offered re final touches.

Good location

The house was in a great location for exploring the Cotswolds and a good size for 2 adults and 2 kids. Quiet street and good to have easy parking. The downstairs flooring could do with re-doing and the kitchen too. There was a dead squashed fly on the wall from previous guests I assume, which hadn’t been cleaned. It was good for the price and would recommend to anyone on a tight budget who wants easy access to nice walks and the beauty of the Cotswolds.

A cosy and comfortable little house

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Chipping Norton. We have travelled through it many times on our way to more popular Cotswold places, but have never really explored it. We were very pleasantly surprised! Lots of nice pubs and a couple of good restaurants, or if you want to stay in, a range of delis and food shops. Snowdrop Cottage was handy for all facilities and was very well equipped. It might be a bit of a squeeze for four adults, but was just perfect for two. We would definitely like to return.

Lovely, well equipped cottage

The Cottage itself was lovely in a very quiet location. No issues with parking on the road outside the house. Inside was well equipped with new modern fixtures and fittings. Only one downside was the garden was unkept and needed a good tidy and sweeping. Not suitable for a small dog who would get lost in the shrubs and covered in forget me not seeds!. Uneven areas could not be identified as covered with plants. Only a concrete area for her to toilet on. Ended up taking her on a lead on the grass at the side of the house. Other than that a nice, relaxing stay.

Perfect!

This cottage was a perfect place to stay for a few nights, we brought our dog along as well which the garden was perfect for - all enclosed and safe. The property is a little creaky upstairs but that's just character of a cottage right? The whole place was clean top to toe and plenty of amenities such as washing up liquid, tin foil, tea, coffee. The host also supplied eggs, bread, milk, butter etc - which was a really nice touch. One small issue was the lack of toilet paper. Location perfect for Chipping Norton, quiet (although one barking dog in the distance set off OUR dog) but that's life. Nice views, plenty of on-road parking, loads of restaurants and places to eat/drink within walking distance. We wanted to go for a nice walk in the countryside but we ran out of time! - Looks like there's plenty of walks nearby. Thanks again for a great stay!

Great location and very clean

We stayed at Snowdrop cottage for 3 nights over Easter. It is only short walk to Chipping Norton and parking was available on the street outside. (There is a free car park within a 2 min walk if it is busy in the street). The property was very clean and comfortable for the two of us but would easily accommodate four people. The kitchen was well equipped with very clean pots/pans and utensils. The shower worked well with plenty of hot water. The garden was also useful for our dog but there is also a lane with a patch of grass right next to the house which we used for our dog to toilet. There is a choice of pubs, cafes which are very dog friendly. Good choice of takeaways as well and great country gastro pubs a short drive away. There are also plenty of green areas nearby (including a fenced dog exercise area near St Mary the Virgin Church) which also has a children’s play area attached. There is also a nice walk to Bliss Mills with fields attached for dogs to explore. The only minor grumbles would be the welcome pack was a bit underwhelming - a pint of milk and a pack of biscuits and the booking in time was 5pm However we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again or to recommend Bluebell Cottage.
