“Stairs were really steep and not shown on photos which is not good for people who have difficulty walking.”

Lovely clean cottage

Thank you for your comments regarding Thrower's Cottage. As the property is an old Victorian cottage, there are many original features. However, we have now replaced the steep stairs leading from the kitchen to the first floor. Owner relations

“A great location with lots of walks straight from your door.”

Lovely and cosy cottage with log burner keeping us cosy for a great winter break. Great base for exploring the many lovely Cotswold villages.

We are pleased to hear you had a great Winter Break! Owner relations

“Wonderful, well equipped, charming cottage in a stunning location.”

Walking from the door. Pub shop and cafe very close by. The one big negative for this property is the 2 FLIGHTS OF EXTREMELY STEEP STAIRS. After our stay I actually re-read the description of the property to check I had not missed this in the detail. Can’t believe stairs are not mentioned.

Thank you for your feedback on Thrower's Cottage, we have now amended important notes on the description. This will pop up on all future bookings. Owner relations

“Great setting and peaceful with delightful garden with deer nearby.”

The only issue was the cottage could have been cleaner when we arrived. Floor and cupboards had crumbs and we encountered over flowing bins that had not been emptied outside. Whoever cleaned before we arrived did not do a great job! The cottage also needs a mop and bucket. The garden was lovely but the grass was over grown and we had to cut some of the flowers back in order to use the path. The owners need to look into this ASAP.

“Great location in North Cotswolds.”

Property is in a very peaceful location in the village

“We had an amazing time is this thoroughly delightful cottage - great location, well equipped, pretty as a picture ( prettier than the advertisement photo, in fact!”

) extremely comfortable....loved it all! Would emphasise that it has very steep, shallow stairs both up and down,so those who have fractious knees, or small children, should bear this in mind. Still dreaming about our totally relaxing stay - thank you so much. (would give 10 out of 10 in all categories, but cannot register my vote with the above tabs?)

The property

Located on the edge of one of the prettiest villages in the Cotswolds, Thrower's Cottage has been lovingly restored by its current owners and is an ideal retreat for those looking to escape into the countryside and enjoy the peace and quiet that this region has to offer.

Inside the cottage is gorgeously cute, with 2 separate seating areas to provide those moments of quiet relaxation, the lower ground floor providing a wonderful open-plan seating, dining and kitchen area, complete with the obligatory log-burning stove (starter pack of logs supplied).

Outside your enclosed garden (ideal for the very welcome pooch should you wish to bring it) gives you stunning views across the glorious Cotswolds countryside.

The historic village of Blockley is very peaceful and picturesque, yet benefits from having two pubs and a community owned village shop & café, as well as a historic Norman church in the centre of the village.

Numerous beautiful country walks are accessible directly from the cottage and Blockley is well located for visiting the many beautiful towns and villages of the Cotswolds. Truly idyllic.

If you jump in your car you can be in Stratford in no time as well as the lovely local National Trust houses like Hidcote, Kiftsgate and Bourton House.

Charming and totally welcoming - you'll love this beautiful, rural retreat.

About the location

BLOCKLEY

Moreton-in-Marsh 3 miles; Bourton-on-the-Water 11 miles; Cheltenham 22 miles.

An ancient village once famous for its silk and corn mills, Blockley lies just 3 miles from Moreton-in-Marsh and features a unique collection of honey-coloured buildings with a pretty village green, two excellent pubs, serving hearty food and real ale, as well as a village store and café, serving dinner on a Friday night. Many walks and cycle rides through the beautiful rolling countryside of the Cotswolds can be enjoyed from the centre of the village, with the Macmillan Way, Heart of England Way and the Gloucestershire and Monarch's Way all running close by. Very close by, Moreton-in-Marsh boasts many elegant 18th century buildings and is home to traditional inns, tea rooms, restaurants and individual shops to suit all tastes. It also offers its own train station and lies on the intersection of the Paddington rail line from London. The town hosts the Moreton-In-Marsh Show, one of the UK's largest one-day agricultural shows, as well as the Moreton Beer Festival, an annual French Market, and a large outdoor market every Tuesday. The highest town in the Cotswolds, this ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly farmers' market. Close by is Bourton-on-the-Water, which lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is known as the Venice of the Cotswolds as the River Windrush runs through the centre. Also within reach is the spa town of Cheltenham, boasting an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, as well as being famous for its horseracing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Worcester and the waterfront city of Gloucester are also within driving distance, making Blockley a great base for a Cotswolds holiday.
