CHIPPY COTTAGE, family friendly, with open fire in Chipping Norton

Chippy Cottage is a splendid Cotswold stone cottage, in the market town of Chipping Norton, with sleeping space for six guests.

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. A raised footpath leads you up to the front door of Chippy Cottage, which opens into a small hallway and into a warm and inviting sitting room that has lovely exposed Cotswold stone walls, oak beams and an inglenook fireplace with a warming woodburning stove and a unique, traditional bread oven; providing a welcoming and tranquil space for you and your loved ones to sink into the inviting sofas and watch a film using the DVD player connected to the Apple TV. 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.
