    “Cosy little cottage, just perfect for a short break.”

    There were just two of us but would be quite small for four adults although certainly both double bedrooms were very pleasant and the whole property is very well presented. Well equipped kitchen with nice welcome with milk, tea and coffee, crisps, biscuits and chocolates. Lovely and warm (it was November) and super cosy with wood burner in the evening in the comfortable sitting room. Super little bathroom with excellent hot shower.

    There were just two of us but would be quite small for four adults although certainly both double bedrooms were very pleasant and the whole property is very well presented. Well equipped kitchen with nice welcome with milk, tea and coffee, crisps, biscuits and chocolates. Lovely and warm (it was November) and super cosy with wood burner in the evening in the comfortable sitting room. Super little bathroom with excellent hot shower. Good Wi Fi as you would expect for a small place. Wasn’t quite sure where to put recyclable waste so it would be helpful to leave some instructions for bottles and cans, paper and food waste etc. Other reviewers have quite rightly commented on the parking which is basically impossible, not just the size of the spot but the very steep slope (prob about 1:3) leading down. Top tip is don’t even try to drive down to the cottage but park on Station Road as it’s only 20 yards or so to walk down. However Blockley is a lovely village, the food at the local pub (The Great Western Arms) was excellent. Overall a very good place.

    Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Jackdaw. It sounds like you had a wonderful stay and i hope you made the most of the lovely little cafes and shops in Blockley. We will pass on your feedback with regards to the recycling details and get this checked, as they should be in the cottage for guests. With regards to the parking space, it does show on the website, but it is only suitable for a small car, but still a bonus, as most homes don't have parking in Blockley. We would love to welcome you again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner

The historic village of Blockley is very peaceful and picturesque, yet benefits from having two pubs, a restaurant, and a community owned village shop & cafe;.

There is also a historic Norman church in the centre of the village and numerous beautiful country walks are accessible directly from the cottage. The cottage has recently been refurbished by its owners, to enhance its cosy feel.

Traditional character features, such as wooden beams and a large stone fireplace with wood burning stove, are complemented by modern facilities, including wireless internet access, a Freeview TV and a well presented kitchen. The cottage sleeps a maximum of five people, in two bedrooms and on a pocket-sprung sofa bed in the snug, with one bathroom.

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.
