Lovely weekend away in the Cotswolds

Snowdrop cottage was the perfect base for us. With popular Cotswold towns very close by such as stow on the wold, bourton on the water. The house was perfect for us and our pooch! Chipping Norton is just a few minutes walk with a lovely market on a Saturday morning. I would highly recommend this cottage for a lovely trip to the Cotswolds.

Wonderful place

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this house. The place was spotless, nicely decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped, loved the little bottle of milk in the fridge! The beds were cozy and bathroom facilities superb. The hosts were friendly and responsive, making check-in and communication effortless. We couldn’t have asked for a better weekend retreat, central to walk into the town or jump in the car to visit surrounding areas. We would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Perfect location

The property is in an ideal location—clean, quiet, and well-suited as a base for exploring the area. However, the absence of blinds in the landing and bathroom compromises privacy.

Comfortable stay in Snowdrop cottage

Snowdrop cottage was ideal for our short two night break in Chipping Norton. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Town centre was a convenient short walk. We had good meal in the Chequers, lively pub with friendly staff. Not many negatives but perhaps could benefit from blind in bathroom and lock on door. Would happily return.

Ideal base for touring The Cotswolds

Property had all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Only a short walk to the High Street and well placed for touring the rest of The Cotswolds. Didn't make use of them, but buses seemed plentiful and it might be worth exploring the timetable (especially if you have a bus pass!). Small Sainsbury's within walking distance.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
