2 Bedroom Cottage in Charlbury

Close to the heart of Charlbury, Armada Cottage is Grade II listed and, together with its neighbour, is one of the oldest buildings in town. Parts date from the 1400s, and when you step through the door, you'll find a host of original features and character by the bucket load. Exposed stone walls, ancient beams and floor timbers combine with thoughtful design, encompassing all the creature comforts needed for a memorable stay.
The simple styling of the living room perfectly showcases the character of the cottage. Timber floors, beams and thick stone walls create a cosy and relaxing room. Tucked under the window is a dining table to seat four, whilst the autumn-hued-velvet sofa invites you to relax with a good book, or a film on the Smart TV, which is cunningly hidden in the corner cupboard by the fire. The beautiful kitchen combines polished styling with original features and has everything needed for a self-catering stay. Two delightful bedrooms occupy the first and second floors, along with two bathrooms.
Outside space comes in the form of a Cotswold stone-walled courtyard. This sunny spot is perfect for lazy afternoons or alfresco dining. There is a wrought-iron table and chairs and a charcoal barbecue. Charlbury Railway station is a short walk away, if you're bringing a car, on-street parking is available.

This beautifully finished room features terracotta and black quarry stone tiles, exposed stone walls and an original fireplace. There's a full oven, hob, dishwasher, and a fridge hidden behind sleek white cupboards, the window through to the living room shows the sturdy construction of the property parts of which date to 1489. From the kitchen, there is a door to the charming courtyard garden.
Living Room:
Ceiling timbers and rugged stone walls flank a restful room. Enjoy cosy meals at the dining table, which fits snugly under the window, and curl up on the sofa for a night with a film. The Smart TV is in the corner cupboard by the fireplace. You'll also find a selection of games in the cupboard under the window.
First Floor
Bathroom:
The first bathroom is a spacious shower room with a step-in shower cubicle, hand basin and WC. There's plenty of natural light from the large window and you can expect the same high levels of attention to detail found throughout the rest of Armada Cottage. Behind the brace and latch door, you'll also find the washing machine.
Bedroom Two:
Boasting dark floor timbers, a king-size bed made up with crisp white linens, and the bright pops of colour coming from the cushions and throws, this lovely room offers space to relax and enjoy a restful night's sleep after a day of exploring. There's plenty of storage and a window seat where you can perch and watch the world go by. The high ceiling adds to the feeling of space.
Second Floor
Bedroom One:

Outside
Tucked away behind Armada Cottage is an enchanting walled courtyard. In the summer, fragrant climbing roses scramble over the weather-worn Cotswold stone walls, when the weather is kind this lovely space becomes a real suntrap.

Summary: Nice cosy space, we really enjoyed our stay. Everything on cottage was so nice and we feel like home.
michelle L. Jul 13, 2025 02:31:52 PM
Summary: The cottage is very cute. We rented during a heat wave and there was no ac and no fans. The windows are small and on a busy road so we could not open them. It was an uncomfortable night. The toilets were not flushing properly. We left and found a hotel. The owner was nice and sent two small fans from Amazon but we left before using.

Summary: Lovely quirky cottage, good location. Courtyard was great. Parking was easy, on street just around the corner. Lots of helpful information about the area from the owners. Would definitely return. (Beware no freezer, even in the fridge.)

Summary: This is a small but homely cottage in a super little village. Well equipped and thoughtfully furnished. We really enjoyed our stay. Parking is a bit of an issue especially when unloading as non nearby, nearest us 5mins away. Outside area is lovely to sit in but was a little overgrown so felt smaller than it possibly is. Both The Bell & The Bull in the villare great eating pubs.

Summary: Wonderful cottage very conveniently located in Charlbury. Easy access to the shops and local pubs especially The Bull

Summary: Armada Cottage was absolutely gorgeous. An ancient building on the main street of a charming Cotswolds village that's been renovated with care and attention to every single perfect detail. The owners were responsive and kind. Everything we needed was provided. The street outside can be a bit busy and the doorways are low for the tall 21st century traveller but none of this takes away from this extraordinary place and experience. Highly recommend.

Summary: The cottage is beautifully renovated and radiates a wonderful Cotswolds vibe from the entrance to its rooftop. Each room has a lovely design and atmosphere. It looks like it belongs in a magazine. The village (Charlbury) is great and has two excellent restaurants (The Bull and The Bell) in short walking distance from the cottage. This adds massively to the charme of the place. But there are comfort issues that are annoying when staying for more than a few days: - The seating in the living room is too limited for cozy reading evenings for more than 2 people. - The toilets don't flush well (very little water) and get clogged easily; there are no tools around to fix this - The heating is limited: Thermostat drops to low settings automatically all the time and has to be manually turned up again; even when it's been turned up for a while, it doesn't get very warm, making this cottage not usable in colder months, I think - The fireplace cannot be used as an alternative heat source or for a cozy evening atmosphere, which is a disappointment - The ceilings and in particular, door frames are very low (you will hit your head when you are taller than 5.9ft - The storage space is minimal - and the closets in the bedroom are very dark inside, making them challenging to use - There is no teapot and the Nespresso machine isn't working well - The street parking can be limited at times Overall, it's still a lovely-looking place, but the mentioned comfort issues become annoying when staying more than a few days and with more than 2 people.

Summary: We absolutely adored our stay at Armada Cottage. The decor and amenities have been so thoughtfully done. Just a tiny walk from a cafe, amazing gastropubs and restaurants. Loved it!!
Sandra M. Oct 13, 2024 09:09:08 PM
Summary: Our extended stay in the Armada Cottage was excellent. The cottage is well appointed... in the sense of having everything you need but also with a designer aesthetic that sets it apart from many holiday rentals. Attention to detail is apparent in the small tasteful vignettes throughout the cottage. The kitchen is well equipped, beds comfortable with quality linens, and there is a lovely small enclosed courtyard. Charlbury is a good village from which to explore the Cotswolds, has two excellent restaurants... The Bull and The Bell, and a great deli and convenient grocery store. We were sorry to see out stay here end.

Summary: Perfect older cottage with a wonderful interior design and full of details. They include interior design magazines, beautiful textiles and a bottle of red wine and chocolates when we arrived.
