Michael 
“Lovely location with superb views across the valley with a massive herd of deer in the field at the bottom of the garden.”
Access almost directly opposite the front door into a field that's ideal for dog walking. Pub, village shop and café all within 10 minutes walking distance. Many other villages and pubs/restaurants within 20 minutes car ride. Very comfortable cottage with really lovely beds. Good use of the available space, but please do take note of all the warnings about the stairs up to the bedrooms. Also, I know it's in the description that there isn't one, but a washing machine would be useful. Lovely ...
Access almost directly opposite the front door into a field that's ideal for dog walking. Pub, village shop and café all within 10 minutes walking distance. Many other villages and pubs/restaurants within 20 minutes car ride. Very comfortable cottage with really lovely beds. Good use of the available space, but please do take note of all the warnings about the stairs up to the bedrooms. Also, I know it's in the description that there isn't one, but a washing machine would be useful. Lovely lounge/dining area on the lower ground floor and the built in dog cage under the stairs is a fantastic idea. Couple of minors/suggested improvements are: 1) While generally clean (bedsheets were absolutely crisp and clean) there were some very large, old cobwebs in the corner of the living room and above the window in the front bedroom. Definitely not the kind that has appeared overnight, obviously been there a while. Also, thick dust on the TV stand and also the wood burner. Clearly not been touched in a long time. 2) Curtains in the kitchen and front bedroom hanging partially off the rails with broken hooks. 3) In the bathroom, the shower head is very badly limescaled and actually could do with replacing. The toilet flush handle is unsecured. And the big no no, the toilet seat itself is loose. I believe I've read other older reviews that mention these last 2 points but nothing has been done. 4) Dog owners beware, there's a small gap in the fencing halfway down the garden below the conifer hedging on the left. Other than these fairly minor points that certainly didn't spoil the holiday and could be easily rectified, we had a fantastic stay. The welcome pack is a particularly nice touch. Thank you!

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.
Note: Dogs: we ask that dogs remain downstairs, stay off the furniture and that no trace of a dog remains after your departure, a gated sleeping area has been built in the dining room especially for dogs, although the garden is enclosed, inquisitive dogs could jump the wall at the bottom of the garden and dogs are not permitted to be left alone in the property.
Please note an initial supply of logs & kindling is provided for the property between October until end of March; additional log supplies can be purchased locally.
