This cottage is a romantic retreat for two in the heart of Blockley. The sitting room is the ideal place to unwind during the cooler months, thanks to the wood-burning stove. If you’re staying during the summer, we recommend taking advantage of the sunny courtyard with garden furniture and a charcoal barbecue. Local amenities include two pubs, a community-run café and a well-stocked shop. If you’d like to explore further afield, Bourton-on-the-Water is a twenty-five-minute drive away.
