    “We found the Malins to be very clean, comfortable and well-equipped.”

    Both the owner and housekeeper were really nice and helpful, but in no way intrusive. Blockley is an ideal location to explore the Cotswolds, with plenty of places to visit nearby. The Malins is in a quiet location, with the pretty, older parts of the village just a short walk away. We had a really nice break visiting Moreton-In-Marsh, Broadway Tower, Bourton-on-the-Water and Chipping Camden.
