About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
This contemporary cottage enjoys a peaceful location in an elevated position.
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.
Additional Information A high chair, travel cot and stair gate can be provided upon request. One well-behaved dog welcome (additional charge).
Ground Floor: There is a self-contained and heated entrance lobby with far-reaching views, and which houses the washing machine in a cupboard. Sitting room With a living flame fire, an LCD television with Freeview and a DVD player. Conservatory/dining area Which is flooded with light and heated to ensure toasty dinners when the sun has gone down. Kitchen With a dishwasher, microwave, fridge freezer and range style cooker ensuring you have everything you need. Cloakroom/wc.
First Floor: Bedroom one With a 4'6 double bed. En-suite With shower, wash basin and WC. Bedroom two With a 4'6 double bed. Bedroom three With a small 4' double bed. Family bathroom With a bath and shower over (please note there is low water pressure in this shower), wash basin and WC.
Outside: The front garden has a step up to the front door, and there are two off-street parking spaces. Accessed from the conservatory, the outside space includes a raised deck area with barbecue perfect for catching the rays or relaxing with your holiday read alongside the small but perfectly formed garden. Off-street parking is available for two cars.
Mid way between Chipping Campden and Moreton-in-Marsh, Blockley is one of the larger Cotswold villages and remains relatively unspoilt. Like many of its Cotswold counterparts, the heritage of the village is firmly rooted in the wool trade but unlike others, following the decline of the wool trade, the village prospered thanks to the presence of silk mills supplying silk ribbon to the Midlands. The handsome architecture means it’s very easy on the eye, the Norman church is particularly striking but despite being picture postcard pretty, there’s a real sense of community here too with the village shop being a community concern which is not only ‘open all hours’ but has a café that also opens Friday evenings for dinner – very civilised! There’s a great pub (always a boon for self caterers) and a wealth of things to do and places to visit nearby with Batsford Arboretum, Cotswold falconry (and archery) and the gardens at being just a few. There are an abundance of quintessential Cotswold villages and towns: Upper Slaughter, Lower Slaughter, Broadway, Snowshill, Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water. Enjoy a evening at the Longborough Opera. Explore the Chedworth Roman Villa near Yanworth. Admire the stunning Blenheim Palace and Gardens, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. A great day out for the whole family:Adam Henson’s Cotswold Farm Park. Cycle Hire www.tycycles.co.uk. Play a round at Naunton Downs Golf Club.
The cottage is heated and features 2 bathrooms and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a microwave, and a refrigerator.

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.

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!

Little Shrublands
Little Shrublands is a lovely cottage, clean and tidy, pretty furnishings and a welcome Victoria sponge on arrival. Ideally situated for Bourton on the water and many of the other pretty villages. We had a wonderful time.

Lovely cottage in picturesque village
Cottage is great, has everything you'd ever need, and the location is great too - Blockley is very chocolate box, and close to all the main attractions in the Cotswolds
