A beautiful property located minutes away from the centre of Chipping Norton

Built on the site of the former Waggon & Horses Pub from Cotswold stone, Elba House provides high quality accommodation for families, friends, and their four legged companions, to explore all the Cotswolds and West Oxfordshire has to offer.

Chipping Norton is an attractive and superbly situated small historic market town on the edge of the renowned Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It has numerous amenities including supermarkets, pubs, restaurants, coffee shops, park and can even boast its own lido and theatre.

We are 8 miles from Soho Farmhouse, 10 miles from Woodstock and the majestic Blenheim Palace (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) , 19 miles from Bicester Village, and only 22 miles from the historic centres of Oxford and Stratford-Upon-Avon (both can be reached by bus). It is also a great location for Blenheim Park, Great Tew Park and Cornbury Park events. We are only a short drive from Kingham and Charlbury GWR train stations and numerous stations on the Chiltern Line.

Elba House has generous and flexible bedroom accommodation, a courtyard garden with southerly aspect, 2 private parking spaces and is a very short walk away from Chipping Norton town centre.

Rare for the Cotswolds, Elba House gives you loads of space in the bedrooms, so feel free to swing as many cats as you please (not literally - of course). The master and second bedroom both have king sized beds - no short straws for couples staying together. There is an additional sofa bed in the second bedroom if required.The third bedroom has a full single sized bed.

All beds have the highly rated Silentnight Studio Medium memory foam mattress, microfibre duvets and luxury bed linen.

The second floor ensuite has a shower and separate bath. The first floor bathroom has a bath and over bath shower.

The kitchen has all the cooking facilities you would expect. We have:

- Gas hob and electric cooker
- Microwave
- Dishwasher
- Washer/Dryer
- Fridge & Freezer
- Coffee Machine

The living room is a very comfortable space to socialise with a log burning stove. It also has:

- A Smart TV
- Blu Ray Player & Range of DVDs
- DAB Radio, CD Player & Bluetooth Speaker .

If you need some 'me' time, there is 'music room' with record player and the third bedroom has another T.V. and DVD Player.

We are happy to accept one mutt of most (smaller) varieties on the ground floor of Elba House only, provided they are well behaved and are not left alone.

Please note that the property is on a hill, has three storeys and there are steps up to the rear door. Chipping Norton is also plonked right on one of those famous Cotswold 'rolling hills'. If you have mobility issues please do contact us with any questions you have prior to booking.

We do not currently accept cats due to the increased allergy risk for future guests. We do take dogs as they are deemed to be a lower allergy risk and we have dogs of our own. Please bear this in mind if someone in your party is allergic to pets.

Cozy Cotswold Cottage
Very comfortable home. Host answered our question immediately. Everything we needed was provided and we had a very relaxing stay. Neighborhood felt very safe and was close to grocery store and bus lines. Only slight negative is it is on a very steep hill (we were made aware of this in description), would be happy to stay again.

Lovely house in great location
Stayed for 3 days at end of school summer holidays-2 adults and 2 teens (age 14 & 15) and 1 dog. House is very well equipped and decorated and furnished to a high standard. Good quality bedding and towels. Chipping Norton has everything needed for a short stay-shops, good pubs (particularly the Blue Boar), a lido in summer and little cinema. Visited the Cotswolds Wildlife park but queue was far too long To get in so went to Batsford Arboretum instead which was perfect for a long dog walk. Also visited Diddly Squat Farm. Opens st 9.30am-got there at 9.45 and still queued for 2.5hrs for the shop! Products we bought were very good but pricey. Also had food from cafe-bacon butty and fried egg butty. Both really good. When we left the queue of traffic to get in was unbelievable. We really enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable with Good Location
My sister and I stayed for 4 nights. I misplaced our check-in instructions and our host was very responsive to my pleas for help. The bedrooms were quite comfortable and the 2 full baths plus a ground floor powder room was perfect. We enjoyed the back garden and on-site parking was so convenient! Grocery stores, restaurants and shopping all within walking distrance. Easy to get to other villages in the Cotswolds area. We have a lovely time!

We love Chipping Norton and will return. When we do we hope that this property is available. It is charming, well appointed and clean. The kitchen was perfect for the two of us and we cooked Ms y meals at home during our 2 week stay. Vicky and John, our hosts are all about making sure their guests are comfortable and all needs are met. We asked about availability of a barbeque and that day, John was over delivering a barbecue and charcoal for us to use. The location is amazing! Walking distance to downtown Chippy and easy access to roads taking us to other locations. Ample parking is available. The neighborhood is safe and lovely. We felt like we were right at home. A score of 10 out of 10 for Vicky & John and their lovely, well cared for home. ❤️. Jim&Debra

A wonderful stay in Chipping Norton
Four of us stayed at this lovely cottage for 4 nights and loved it. Perfectly positioned for exploring the Cotswolds. The cottage is very comfortable - cosy, beautifully decorated and thoughtfully appointed, very clean with comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. Vicky was very easy to communicate with, prompt and friendly with her response to any questions. There was even a bottle of champagne and other goodies to welcome us. We didn’t want to leave!

A wonderful stay in a comfy well located and well equipped property.
We stayed at Elba House for the weekend whilst visiting Chipping Norton for a wedding. The house was easy to access, with sufficient parking and immaculately kept. It had a very cosy feel and there was plenty of room for our little one to play. Nothing was too much trouble for Vicky and she was on hand if we needed anything both before we arrived and during our stay. If you have little people within your party, she can accommodate any extra requirements you may have like a cot or stair gates. What made the stay even more lovely was the welcome comforts she had provided on our arrival. I would stay here again :)

The perfect base to return to and relax
We had a great stay at Elba House and it provided us with the perfect base whilst we were visiting the area to be guests at a wedding. The house was so comfortable, clean and in a great location - the wood burner was wonderful to snuggle up to on a winter wonderland weekend when everything outside stayed frozen. Thank you Vicky for your quick responses and for being so accommodating. A great stay and we will happily repeat our stay should we be in the area again.
