We had a brilliant time staying at The Smithy. Communication was excellent throughout. The house is really lovely and the kitchen well stocked. The house was exceptionally clean. We found the location was brilliant. And enjoyed wandering around Chipping Norton looking at the shops and had a brilliant dinner at The Boxing Hare. We will definitely book again! Thank you

My sister & I enjoyed our short break at The Smithy. We were very impressed by the quality of this holiday cottage. The kitchen was well stocked with a variety of equipment, along with a comprehensive set of instructions on how to use the appliances (often lacking in many cottages!). The location was ideal not only to explore the charming town of Chipping Norton, but further afield, to fully appreciate what the area has to offer. Particular favourites were the Cotswolds Distillery, Batsford Arboretum, Stow on the Wold & Chipping Campden (The Silk Mill & Court Barn Museum). We were unable to take advantage of the parking permit for the residents car park as it had expired, the new one hadn't arrived, but we had no problem parking in the street outside The Smithy throughout our stay. We would definitely stay here again.

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

Thank you David for your lovely review of The Smithy. We are pleased to read that the cottage was suitable for a weekend break with your daughter. I will pass your feedback onto the property owner about the size of the towels and ask them to provide larger bath towels. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Cotswolds soon.
