The Old Dairy in Chipping Norton receives high praise for its cleanliness, comfort, and idyllic location.

The property's location is frequently highlighted as ideal for visiting the Cotswolds, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. The quiet, picturesque setting is also noted, although one review mentioned it being a bit isolated.
Comfort is a strong point for The Old Dairy, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the living spaces cosy and inviting. However, one review mentioned it can get a bit cold at night during winter.
The facilities are generally well-received, with a spacious kitchen and modern appliances. Guests appreciate the extra amenities like a high chair and travel cot. One minor issue was reported with a door not opening, but it did not detract from the overall experience.

I’ve stayed in lots of holiday cottages booked through Airbnb and Cottages.com. This is BY FAR the best place we’ve ever stayed! Beautifully clean, wonderfully furnished and cosy, amazing views….and Rob the owner is just fabulous! Super friendly and helpful, we felt like we’d know him for years! I’ve already booked again for next year….in fact I think I’ll be going twice!

Clean and cosy cottage with all the amenities you need. It can get a bit cold at night as we went during the winter, but overall it was a very good stay. The kitchen is spacious, and the living room feels warm and inviting. Rob was lovely and very welcoming. A charming, functional place that we really enjoyed.

The Old Dairy was ideal for 2 couples for visiting cotswolds towns. Everywhere was clean & tidy and well presented. It has lots of interesting information and decorations. Would recommend it as a base for touring the cotswolds.
