Little Shrublands, Blockley, Moreton-in-Marsh

This contemporary cottage enjoys a peaceful location in an elevated position just minutes away from the village hub. Perfectly placed to take advantage of all that Blockley has to offer but ideally located to ensure a tranquil stay.

Blockley is a delightful golden stone village, situated within the rolling hills of the North Cotswolds between Moreton-in-Marsh (with direct rail links to London Paddington) and Chipping Campden, with an abundance of walks over the surrounding countryside. Blockley's beautiful church, churchyard and vicarage are used for the filming of "Father Brown", a period BBC detective drama. The village boasts many other historic buildings including a converted water mill along the brook; a fabulous community run café and well stocked shop and two pubs within walking distance. Also nearby are Stow-on-the-Wold, Broadway, and Bourton-on-the-Water.

You’ll also be within easy striking distance of Cotswold hot spots Chipping Campden, Stow-on the-Wold and Moreton-in-Marsh and when you return to your home from home after a busy day, muted tones and restful interiors ensure complete relaxation.

Lovely property

This was an absolutely lovely place to stay, beautifully decorated, nice location, clean and good value.We stayed with a 2 year old and she loved that there was a park less than a 3 minute walk away. It was so well located for family days out too. We visited Birdland, Cotswold wildlife park and Warwick Castle, which our toddler loved.

Cosy well equipped house in great location

Blockley is a perfect location to explore the Cotswolds. Well stocked community shop and cafe and great waljs from the doorstep. Not overrun with tourists! Little Shrublands was a delightful and well equipped house and wd felt very comfortable in it. We visited in November so were unable to take advantage of the conservatory/dining room and lovely garden area but they would provide great extra space for summer months.

Beautiful cottage in heart of Cotswolds

A well-cared for and cosy cottage and a real home from home. Ideally located to visit many places of interest. This was a holiday for 3 generations of our family and we all loved it.

Good stay

Positive points: The cottage is lovely and well equipped, the location is great for exploring the cotswolds and the area peaceful. Negative points: The beds are very uncomfortable, the mattresses need replacing and there are many spiders, some of them quite big.

A welcome return to Little Shrublands, a gem of the Cotswolds

This is our favourite cottage after many years in the area and we always look forward to returning each October. The cleanliness is first class, there is ample cutlery, crockery and glass ware. The beds are very comfortable and ensure a good nights sleep.

Perfect location

We loved our stay, the house was so well appointed and having parking right outside was so nice. We loved Blockley and would recommend the area and of course this house. The kitchen had everything we needed, comfortable living room and the sun room is so cozy. Local restaurants we excellent and we took many long walks right from the house. We would come back in a heartbeat.

Quaint

It was just perfect, we were 3 women hiking and it was the perfect place for us to finish our day! We ended up eating our dinner in each evening in the lovely sun room and then going to bed early after our days of hiking through the lovely neighbouring villages meeting very nice people along our way!

All the conditions for a relaxing, stress free holiday...

Well equipped, homely, comfortable cottage in a central location in the delightful village of Blockley. Beautiful, uplifting views all around the cottage, and a pretty garden with conservatory to dine in or just to enjoy the surroundings. Near to a well-stocked village shop - we did most of our food shopping there (and cafe serving an excellent breakfast), a bus stop, and walks into the surrounding countryside. We hope to return.

Return to a well equipped and well situated property

Little Shrublands is a modern link house with a pleasant rear garden situated in a quiet cul de sac close to the church where the Father Brown mysteries are filled. It is tastefully furnished and well- equipped. The village is off the beaten track ideal for walking but boasts two pubs a shop and a cafe. We have had a few visits there as we enjoy it

A perfect home from home

We really enjoyed staying in this lovely cottage. Very comfortable and so many little extras that we wouldn’t always remember to pack. Very well equipped with everything needed for a relaxing stay. Nice secure garden for the dog too. Ideally situated for visits to the local villages and also Oxford and Stratford. Lovely pub 2 minutes walk away. I wish I’d booked a longer stay and hope to return in the near future. Many thanks to the considerate owners.

Highly recommened!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Little Shrublands so much so we didn't want to leave. There were three adults and two children. We will definitely be recommending it and returning for our next visit to the Cotswolds. The house is so well equipped and beautifully furnished with a lovely private and well maintained garden. Being situated in a gorgeous village, it's the perfect location for a magical time spent exploring and enjoying the Cotswolds. If you're looking at this property as a potential place to stay, you won't be disappointed. Thank you Little Shrublands for the best accommodation.

Perfect! Already planning to come back....................

This beautiful house was absolutely perfect for us from start to finish. The ease of booking, comprehensive instructions and warm welcome (the cake was wonderful - thank you), just arriving there was easy! The house itself is wonderfully maintained, and has everything we needed to make it feel like a 'home from home'. Close attention has been paid to the small details making a huge difference; instructions on how to use equipment from the washing machine to the TV, guest toiletries, tea and coffee - even the smell of the house was sublime. The bedrooms are a great size, with extremely comfortable beds and linens (please can you share where the mattresses are from?!). Situated in a lovely position in the village, sitting in the lovely garden listening to church bells and a donkey were novelties for us! Villagers at the local pubs and shop were very friendly and welcoming, and the local cafe was a real treat. Nothing to fault at all, I only wish we could have stayed longer - we'll be back next year. Thank you for making this such a great experience for us, you can see the hard work and love that you put into it.
