From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natasha J. 24 Apr 2025 #### Very lovely place to stay We very much enjoyed our stay at the Smithy, it was newly decorated and very well done. The beds were comfy, the kitchen well equipped and the welcome pack was more than anywhere we have had before. The location was ideal for getting into town and taking the dog for a walk. It offered us everything we needed for a family weekend break. ##### Natasha J. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 27 Aug 2025 #### Fabulous Stay!! Just back from a lovely stay at The Smithy! A beautiful cottage with everything we needed. The rooms were a good size and the beds very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and the welcome pack of bread, milk & biscuits was appreciated!! We didn't have any issues with parking either, there was always a space either in the car park or on the street outside the property. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 5 Mar 2025 #### Lovely cottage, great location Three friends stayed for a weekend. We all loved the cottage. Super comfortable and well-equipped. It has all the convenience of being in town near the shops, pubs and restaurants but also great countryside walks from the door step. The Black Horse pub at Salford is well worth a visit!

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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie G. 21 Aug 2025 #### Beautiful place We enjoyed our weekend break at The Smithy.

Great location within a very easy walk of the local shop and pubs. Very comfortable, clean and tidy. Would highly recommend. Thank you. ##### Rob B. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth B. 7 Feb 2023 #### Perfect stay 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. ##### Ruth B. From a partner site ### 8/10 Good 24 Aug 2023 #### Nice cottage in great location 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 From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tabitha T. 3 Jul 2023 #### A very comfortable stay 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. ##### Tabitha T. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 8 Nov 2022 #### "The Smithy" at Chipping Norton "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. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent 11 Aug 2022 #### Beautiful Cottage 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. Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Natalie B. 9 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Natalie B. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luke F. 27 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An excellent base 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. ##### Luke F.
