Amazing cottage, very nice location to explore the cotswolds, would definitely recommend!!!
A beautiful little cottage in a superb location! We loved Blockley, a quite gem hidden in the Cotswolds. Thank you!
We loved staying at Nick’s property. It was a perfect home base for our exploration of the Cotswolds. The cottage was beautiful and well-appointed, and the village was quiet and peaceful. We were able to park in front of the cottage without any problem and loved being able to walk to the cafe and the village green. We would definitely stay at Nick’s property again!
The cottage is just as it looks in the photos and it was easy to find and park. The views at the front are beautiful and a great spot to explore from. The Blockley cafe is amazing to eat in and does Takeaway too! Don’t miss the banana bread. The house has been beautifully restored and modernised - really comfy beds and spotless bathrooms. The loft room was lovely and cosy. We went with a three year old and a baby which was tricky due to steep stairs and being on three levels. Would be better suited to older kids or a couples break, which we hadn’t considered so there are no safety worries. Also had some Wi-Fi issues and getting a good enough connection for an evening Netflix watch but Nick said this could have been due to a wider power cut before we arrived as it usually worked fine.
Blockley is a popular village in the Cotswold which is found within a triangle formed by three renowned market towns: Chipping Campden to the North, Moreton-in-Marsh to the South East and Stow-on-the-Wold to the South. Being close to these three towns has led to increased footfall in the village, bringing with it good quality pubs and a lovely village shop/café.
There are plenty of walks across marvellous countryside, including the Monarch’s Way and the Heart of England Way. Blockley lies between Moreton-in-Marsh and Chipping Campden, which have quality shops, pubs and restaurants. Visit Sezincote Gardens, the Cotswold Farm Park, Batsford Arboretum and Falconry Centre and Sudeley Castle. Blockley's award winning shop and Cafe are a 5 minute walk from the cottage. The village pub is also only a short walk away.
Blockley bears some resemblance to the villages of the Stroud valley but the stone much more golden in colour. During the eighteenth century when the wool industry was in decline, cotswold cottages in Blockley turned to silk production. By 1884 six silk mills powered by the fast-flowing Blockley brook provided work for about 600 people preparing silk for ribbon-making factories in Coventry.
This small centre of industry began to decline after 1860 when the levy on imported silk was imposed.
The village of Blockley is a unique collection of buildings reflecting its past glory of mills and silk production and is quite different in character to other north Cotswolds villages.
