"The Gap" sits at the end of a charming terraced row of mid 19th century cottages with exceptional views over the village deer park and of the rolling Cotswold hills beyond. With sumptuous furnishings and stylish finishes throughout, you may not want to leave this Rural Retreat to explore the wonderful countryside on your doorstep. This stunning three-storey Cotswold stone cottage has been beautifully furnished, featuring bi-folding doors leading from the sitting room onto the sun terrace and rear garden, perfect for that morning coffee or relaxing on a summer's evening. With a fully equipped modern kitchen and underfloor heating throughout, this is a perfect bolthole for all seasons. Entering at the ground level, you will be greeted via an entrance hall leading into the stunning kitchen/dining area. The kitchen is well-equipped with granite worktops, a Smeg range oven, and the best views you will ever see from the kitchen sink! The dining area has a dining table with bespoke bench seating for four guests. Downstairs is a luxurious sitting room, filled with light by the pyramid skylight and bi-folding doors leading out onto the pretty sun terrace, complete with garden furniture and a barbecue. There is also a useful utility room and cloakroom to the rear of the lower ground floor. Upstairs on the top floor are two beautifully presented double bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and another with a double bed. The master bedroom enjoys more stunning views over the Cotswold countryside. On this level there is also a modern shower room with a large walk-in shower. Outside, the pretty garden leads down to the lower sun terrace looking across the deer park. This immaculate property is ideally suited to either two couples, or a family with young children who are happy to share the double bed in the second bedroom. Blockley is a quintessentially English 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. Guests staying at The Gap can enjoy an abundance of scenic walks over the surrounding countryside. Blockley's picturesque church, churchyard and vicarage can be recognised from the filming of "Father Brown", a BBC detective drama set in the 1950s. Other notable buildings in the village include: a brookside converted water mill; a wonderful community cafe with a well stocked shop for all your essentials; and two pubs within walking distance. The ever popular towns of Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water and Broadway are just a short drive away. Additional Information: One well-behaved dog welcome (small additional charge). Highchair, travel cot and two stairgates are available on request. The garden is terraced with steep steps down to the lower terrace. The bedding is duck and down feather. Within walking distance of two village pubs and a fabulous village shop and tea room.
We really loved this home. It had everything you could wish for with an awesome layout and incredible view! We will definitely be back again. Thank you so much for a fabulous few days away.
This was a peaceful getaway spot with beautiful views for our family to celebrate Christmas. They even put up a Christmas Tree for us. The place was very clean and easy to find. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking. There was great information in their booklet for the place. Would definitely stay again!
This is a beautiful house in a stunning location. Perfect for 2-3 people and super dog friendly. There was a welcome hamper with all the necessities like coffee and dog treats. The walks around the area are just amazing. All in all a wonderful house and great communication from Rural Retreats.
Information correct at time of writing.
The Gap is situated in the picturesque village of Blockley, just up the road from one of the Cotswolds' most iconic towns, Moreton-in-Marsh, with its honey-coloured stone buildings lining the Fosse Way. Stroll along the meandering streets, do some window shopping at the independent boutiques and stop and enjoy the refreshments in one of the many tea rooms.
Stretching over 56 acres, Batsford Arboretum is home to an incredible 2,850 labelled specimens of tree. With a large garden centre and café, it's a lovely place to visit any time of year, but the spring colours are particularly photogenic – and if you're here in the autumn, don't miss the fiery reds and oranges of the Japanese maples. Just up the road from Batsford Arboretum is the Cotswold Falconry Centre, where you'll find over 130 birds of 60 different species. You can come and watch the daily flying displays, stroll past the aviaries and book for special events like owl evenings or eagle days.
Dating back to the early 1600s, Chastleton House is a unique time capsule. The property was handed over to the National Trust in 1991, having never been modernised or renovated much throughout its 400-year history. It's a fascinating day out, and has links to the Gunpowder Plot, Bonnie Prince Charlie and even the game of croquet. For clay pigeon shooting and more, try Rob Ireland's Activity Days, just three miles or so from Moreton-in-Marsh.
The countryside all around you at The gap is magical, but if you yearn for a few town comforts, Cheltenham is just a short drive away. You'll find some familiar retail names along the pedestrianised Promenade, as well as independent boutiques and restaurants in the Montpellier area. Depending on the time of year you visit, you might get to catch the Literature or Jazz Festival and, don't forget, Cheltenham Racecourse, it's always an exhilarating day out.
Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon is just a 30 minute drive away, with the journey taking you through the charming villages of Broad Campden and Chipping Campden.
Visit one of many beautiful homes and gardens such as Sezincote House and Gardens or Snowshill Lavender Farm.
