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.
Ground Floor
Kitchen: 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: The top floor of Armada Cottage is home to the master suite. With its vaulted, beamed ceiling, super-king size bed and in-bedroom claw foot bath, this is a space for the romantics amongst you. There is also a hand basin and WC on this floor.
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. Take your time over leisurely meals cooked on the charcoal barbecue or just enjoy your morning coffee in the fresh air. There is no allocated parking space however on-street parking is freely available.

Beautiful stay in designer cottage
We had a lovely stay at Andrew & Beth’s cottage. It was beautifully appointed and very comfortable, as much a treat for the senses indoors as the countryside is in the outdoors beyond. The hosts were responsive and accommodating, including in providing many helpful recommendations for activities and dining. We especially enjoyed that the town boasts both The Bull and The Bell, which meant we were eating grandly in only a 5 minute’s walk.

Armada cottage was clean enough, could have benefited from a thorough deep clean. Very busy road.
Whilst our stay was fine, it was disappointing to find the cottage on a busy road and not in the heart of things. Parking is difficult. Someone swiped the front of our rental car and drove off also - not specific to the cottage but the location isn’t the best.

Despite initially finding it a little difficult to locate the actual house in the dark, everything else about the stay was excellent, and I would happily return. The cottage is lovely and perfectly located.

Charming oldy worldly cottage
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.

Lovely Charlbury Cottage
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.)

A fantastic base for exploring the Cotswolds
We had a wonderful time staying at Armada for a pre-Christmas break. The cottage is in a great location for good food, walks and visiting local attractions. It is beautifully appointed, whilst retaining its character and feels very special and unique. We're a family of four and it felt very comfortable, would definitely recommend, it would also suit a couple for a romantic trip.

Great cottage in a great area
Delightful cottage with exquisite furnishings and very cosy in a perfect area. Two very good pubs serving good food less than 5 minutes walk, a train station 5 minute walk and just over an hour into London, we went for the day. Parking is not a problem we never had to walk more than 2 minutes

Immaculate presentation of this recently refurbished cottage. All the old world charm retained with every 21st Century comfort you could want. Be aware that although on street parking is easy you may not have your car in sight of the cottage. Will return, excellent stay.

Gorgeous Armada Cottage
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.

Visiting our daughter as she’s working in the UK
We felt like we were on the set of the movies, The Holiday. The cottage is gorgeous, every thoughtful detail made our stay comfortable and memorable.
The Co-op is a short walk away and we went for dinner at The Bull and The Bell - both were perfect!
The Charlbury Station is less than a 20 minute walk with easy access to Oxford, London, Paddington station and Heathrow - we didn’t rent a car!
We’ll be back.

Lovely stay
Our stay at the cottage was wonderful. The property is comfortable and charming. One note I’d like to call out is, in our experience, parking wasn’t so straightforward. There are a few spots nearby that were filled the whole time we were there and driving around trying to find parking to unload our luggage was a bit frustrating since it’s noted it’s easy. That’s all! We hope to return one day!

Not what was expected
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.

Historic designer cottage
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.

Beautiful typical cottage in the Cotswolds
The cottage is quaint and very beautiful, well-maintained, and equipped with all comforts. Shampoo and shower gel, towels, a hairdryer, and everything you need for washing dishes and using the dishwasher are provided. The owners are friendly and helpful. One tip: the crib for our daughter didn't have a mattress, making it a bit uncomfortable, and we had to bring our own sheets. A high chair would also have been handy. Lastly, it's not possible to park on the street because the space is reserved for residents. You would need to indicate this in the house details or provide a permit to park (we didn't know this and got a fine!) Overall, it was a great stay, in a convenient location for visiting the Cotswolds, and the town itself is also equipped with restaurants, bars, and a supermarket that's open late. Highly recommended.

Absolutely Amazing!
The Armada Cottage was absolutely beautiful you feel like you stepped into the pages of Country Life Magazine. Everything is done to a very high standard and beautifully decorated. Everything was well thought out and the kitchen was very well equipped with everything you need. Beds were wonderful and cozy. I will definitely be back because I definitely didn’t want to leave.
As far as Charlbury is a great home base for the Cotswolds we got the train from Paddington and made the short walk to the cottage. We used the bus the first few days and it was great. We also had a car for a few days and had no problem finding parking.
I can’t say enough about this beautiful cottage just go !!

A perfect stay
The decision was made to spend our annual girlie weekend in the Cotswolds for a long overdue catch-up and some relaxation. I'm so pleased we ditched the hotel option and chose the much more personal Armada Cottage instead. It turned out to be the perfect base to explore the beautiful surroundings and unwind. We found a true gem in both the cottage and Charlbury. The cottage felt luxurious, but in an understated way. Extremely comfortable and beautifully furnished with a personal touch, and with all the luxuries you would expect, from lovely soaps and the sofest towels, to beautiful crockery and heavenly beds.
The village is just the right size with two fantastic pubs, a great deli and a Co-op for everything else. Lovely countryside walks on the doorstep too. Wish we could have stayed a few more days.

Lovely cottage in the Cotswolds
Armada Cottage defines charming. As a visitor from the US, I was excited to stay somewhere uniquely "English countryside" and this cottage did not disappoint. The wooden beams, white plaster walls, exposed stone, and creaky old doors were perfectly complemented by the lovely furnishings, artwork, draperies, and bedding. It's obvious a lot of care was taken in the interior design. It really is lovely. On the practical side, the place is immaculate. The kitchen and bathrooms are well appointed. The linens were high quality. There are books and games to enjoy. A television in each room. The little courtyard outside the kitchen is very pretty. We would have had our morning coffee out there, but the weather had other ideas. The bedrooms are spacious and very cozy. I was sitting on the window seat in the second floor bedroom and a pair of horses road by. A Hollywood director must have staged that moment! This cottage has everything and more. My friend and I absolutely adored it.

Beautiful cottage for interior design fans but lacks basic comfort
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.

Beautifully designed little cottage.
We rented this two bedroom cottage for the two of us, and stayed in the upstairs bedroom, which is a very comfortable and romantic space, with its own slipper bath. It might have been a bit small if there had been another couple with us, with not much privacy, as there is no door to the upper floor. This might work with a family and two children. The cottage is beautifully presented with numerous lovely little quirky touches, as one might expect from the owners who also, I understand, run an interior design company. We found it imaginatively done, and it was well appointed and comfortable, on the whole. We found the evenings a bit chilly in the downstairs sitting room and thought it would really benefit from a wood burner. Apart from that it was all cosy enough. The location is great - a 7 minute walk from the station which is about 20 minutes from Oxford. As we were only there a couple of days we weren’t able to take advantage of the many sights and walks in the area, which is astonishingly picturesque. Really appreciated that the owner contacted us on the day of arrival, which felt welcoming, and quickly let us know on departure that we’d left something behind. Two great gastropubs within walking distance, the Bull and the Bell, where we had delicious food. All quite pricey but what do you expect in that part of the world? We’d certainly consider returning for a longer stay and would recommend.
