Welcome to my home. Bedroom and dressing/sitting room and bathroom. Lovely Cotswold views from your window's intro you to country life. Charming village a foodie pub's and shop with tea room. Walks, views, charm and history await your stay. Its a private working house in the country and I welcome people to simple space, hospitality and jolly good breakfast. All I ask is that you enjoy your time in The Cotswold's and embrace my home as a home
Simple space that is comfortable and relaxed in a private house that is a working house and not a hotel or indeed aB&B. Your space will be respected and I believe I offer value for money ( The Cotswold's is a busy and expensive location for accomodation with 2or3 night min occupancy only at key months ) in a lovey part of The UK. Therefore Airbnb and The Garden House offer great value and flexibility - plus a warm welcome for sure !
Willersey is a delightful Cotswold Village. Small but it has life and soul - pubs and one shop allows easy living. On the door step of all the Key Cotswold villages and attractions. Also Stratford upon Avon and Cheltenham are both 25mins away if the countryside gets too much !
Jeremy hat mich und meinen Hund sehr willkommen geheißen, ich habe mich sehr wohl und entspannt gefühlt. Ein Teil meiner Gruppe wohnte im Fischhotel (zu Fuß erreichbar), aber der Preis von £ 390 für 2 Nächte im billigsten Zimmer hat mich abgeschreckt. Es ist eine sehr schöne Gegend, ich bin sicher, ich werde wiederkommen.
Luke2020-02-23T00:00:00ZWir waren hier für eine Nacht, als wir an einer Hochzeit in der Nähe teilnahmen. Jeremy hätte kein hilfsbereiterer Gastgeber sein können - er war so verständnisvoll über unsere Check-in-Zeit und reagierte sehr schnell auf unsere Nachrichten. Er war sehr flexibel und hilfsbereit. Er servierte auch ein köstliches Frühstück im privaten Wohnzimmer neben dem Schlafzimmer. Ich würde Jeremys Unterkunft von ganzem Herzen empfehlen - danke, dass Sie es zu einem großartigen Aufenthalt gemacht haben!
William2020-02-02T00:00:00ZFreundlicher und gemütlicher Aufenthalt in einem kleinen Dorf. Jeremy war sehr gastfreundlich und hat uns das Gefühl gegeben, zu Hause willkommen zu sein. Toll eingerichtet mit einem kleinen Wohnzimmer auch!

Marina2019-09-15T00:00:00ZJeremy war ein sehr freundlicher und nachdenklicher Gastgeber. Er stand bei Bedarf für Fragen zur Verfügung, respektierte jedoch unsere Privatsphäre. Unser Hauptgrund für den Besuch der Gegend war, die malerischen Spaziergänge zu genießen. Jeremy lieferte sehr hilfreiche Anleitungen, Karten und Empfehlungen für diese Wanderungen.
Charles2019-09-12T00:00:00ZJeremy ist der ultimative Gastgeber! Er konnte wirklich nicht genug für uns tun, einschließlich uns zu unserer Hochzeitsfeier zu bringen! Kann es nur empfehlen!
Tania2019-09-01T00:00:00ZJeremy ist eine überlebensgroße Persönlichkeit. Er bemüht sich, seine Gäste unterzubringen. Er bietet ein reichhaltiges Frühstück und Essen am Abend. Etwas, das er wirklich gerne macht. Dies wird in den meisten Airbnbs sehr vermisst. Die Lage war viel.

Bracken Cottage is one of a row of former silk weaver’s cottages set on a quiet road in the village of Blockley. The front door opens directly into the ground floor living area:
Living room/dining room/kitchen: This homely open plan living space has a cosy wood burning stove, wooden beams and a stable door with views across to the fields beyond. This room contains a sofa, a window seat, a Smart TV, a fold away dining table with seating for two, an electric oven, four-ring gas hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, cafetière, kettle and toaster.
Steep stairs lead up from the living area to the first floor landing, off which are the following rooms:
Bedroom 2: A smart room with exposed painted beams, a king size bed, bedside tables, full length mirror and chest of drawers (please note the chest of drawers is not for guest use);
Family bathroom: Decorated in a contemporary style, this spacious bathroom has a bath with handheld shower attachment, toilet, wash basin and a cupboard containing a washing machine.
Further steep stairs lead directly into the master bedroom:
Master bedroom: A characterful and cosy room in the eaves which contains a king size bed, Smart TV, chest of drawers and vanity mirror. The bedroom leads into the ensuite bathroom which contains a walk-in rain shower with handheld shower attachment, toilet and wash basin.
The stable door leads from the kitchen into a wonderful landscaped garden with uninterrupted views of the countryside. The patio area directly outside the kitchen has a garden table with two benches, two chairs, a charcoal barbecue and a parasol. Three steps lead down from the patio to the lawn, bordered with timber beds along one side, and there is a further sunny patio and herb garden beyond. Free parking is available in the village car park opposite the cottage.
Blockley is a popular village in the Cotswolds which is found within a triangle formed by three renowned market towns: Chipping Campden to the North, Moreton-in-Marsh to the South East and Stow-on-the-Wold to the South. Being close to these three towns has led to increased footfall in the village, bringing with it good quality pubs and a lovely village shop/café.
As the village is away from main roads, it avoids the heavy tourist traffic and so visitors can get a real sense of rural life, enjoying the rolling countryside which falls within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The peaceful Blockley Brook attracts tourists and locals as a quiet place to relax in the warmer months. This brook, together with the other brook in the village, played a part in Blockley's history as there were once 12 water mills which provided work in various industries over the centuries, including silk production and flour milling.
Architecturally the village has quite a different character in comparison to the rest of the North Cotswolds as it has a more similar style to that of the villages in the Stroud valley, but here they have used a more golden stone. This design is reminiscent of wealthier times as the majority of the cottages were built during the 17th and 18th century, at the height of the industrial era.
A popular attraction in Blockley is Mill Dene Garden which is a partner garden of the Royal Horticultural Society. With a misty grotto, stream and seats around the mill pond, this is a lovely place to while away the time looking out for the kingfishers whilst enjoying a cream tea.
Food & Drink
For a relatively small village, Blockley is blessed with a number of places to eat and drink, all just a short walk from anywhere in the village.
The Crown Inn (www.crownhotelblockley.co.uk): This 16th century country inn is situated in the heart of Blockley and features a restaurant serving dishes prepared with local produce, along with a bar with an open fire and a wide selection of real ales. This honey coloured historic inn is covered in Virginia creeper which turns a stunning red in Autumn. Walk inside to the scents of wood smoke from the open log fires and snuggle into a comfy chair by the fire, to view the daily papers with a coffee or something stronger. Dinner is served in the warm and friendly restaurant with lighter meals and snacks available in the bar.
The Great Western Arms (https://www.hooky.co.uk/content/our-pubs/great-western-arms-blockley.ashx): The award winning Great Western Arms is the “Local” of Blockley. The “Western” as it is locally known, is a Hook Norton Brewery pub and is tenanted to Sharon Brace. It is right at the heart of the village both geographically and socially, and is where Sharon and her team serve up some of the finest food, drink and entertainment available. The pub has two rooms: one is used as the restaurant and the other houses a pool table, juke box and darts board (dogs are welcome in the pool room). The Pub has recently been extensively refurbished and now boasts 1st class facilities and comforts. The spacious lounge bar/restaurant retains its period "feel" but has been re-furnished and decorated with great taste and care. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and friendly.
Blockley Village Shop & Café (blockleyshop.com): The community owned shop and café is the hub of the village. The shop offers a wide range of basic groceries and necessities, and a tempting array of local products, including farm meat and free-range eggs, daily deliveries of local fruit and veg, freshly baked bread and locally made ready meals. Logs are generally stocked in winter. The licensed café is open all day, serving breakfasts, lunches, coffees and teas, and home-baked cakes. Take-away hot and cold food, including croissants, pastries and baguettes, is also very popular. The café, where free broadband is available, is a popular meeting place for locals and visitors of all ages.
Ein hübsches, charaktervolles Cottage in einem wunderschönen, unberührten Dorf, perfekt gelegen, um die Cotswolds zu erkunden. Lokale Kneipe und wundervolle Dorfladen und Cafe waren definitiv ein Bonus.
Keith2020-02-02T00:00:00ZDieses Häuschen war wunderschön und kann es jedem empfehlen, der die Cotswolds besuchen möchte. Ganz in der Nähe vieler Städte, aber auch in einer schönen ruhigen Gegend gelegen. Wir gingen zum lokalen Pub und Cafe zum Essen, sie waren absolut lecker. Das Haus selbst war sehr gut eingerichtet mit vielen Annehmlichkeiten. Es war so schön, mitten im Winter mit dem Feuer zu kuscheln. Wir würden dieses Haus wirklich weiterempfehlen.

Broadway is a beautiful village in the North Cotswolds, steeped in history and surrounded by stunning countryside. The village gets its name from the wide street, or broad way, that runs through the centre which was once the main road from Worcester to London.
This attractive High Street is bordered with chestnut trees and honey coloured stone cottages dating from the 16th century and is one of the most picturesque villages of the Cotswolds. The broad way is thought to be especially wide because at one time there used to be streams running each side of the main drive. These streams were eventually hidden in underground pipes where they would emerge at 'dipping' points, but sadly they are now almost completely invisible.
The village has artistic links with famous dwellers including J.M. Barrie, Mary Anderson and William Morris, who were drawn to the tranquillity of Broadway. It was here that Morris and John Ruskin pioneered the idea of the Arts and Crafts Movement which made its home in the area and went on to be an international movement.
One of the iconic features of the village is Broadway Tower which was built in the late 18th century by the Earl of Coventry. It is said that the tower was erected so that the Countess could see if her Cotswold estate was visible from Croome Court in Worcestershire, which it was. The folly stands some 1,024 feet above sea level, making it the second highest point in the Cotswolds after Cleeve Hill. In fact, on a clear day, visitors are able to see 14 counties from the top! William Morris was so taken by the tower that he went on to establish the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings in 1877.
Food & Drink
Broadway has a number of places to eat and drink, with a range of cuisines and prices to suit most tastes and budgets. The list below is a sample of the options available:
Russell's (www.russellsofbroadway.co.uk): Head Chef, Neil Clarke, serves modern British food in the award-winning restaurant, with local Vale of Evesham and Cotswold produce featuring throughout the daily-changing menus. The modern, airy dining room is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with friendly staff and laid-back service combining to create a relaxed and warm setting, day and night;
The Lygon Arms (http://www.thehotelcollection.co.uk/hotels/the-lygon-arms-hotel-cotswolds/): A 17th century minstrel's gallery, a grand open fire and an imposing barrel-vaulted ceiling greet you as you enter The Great Hall, the main dining room of the famous Lygon Arms Hotel. A destination in its own right, people travel miles to enjoy the restaurant's 2 AA Rosettes for excellence sumptuous cuisine and warm friendly service of the highest quality. A few steps across the courtyard, Lukes Bistro offers a relaxing atmosphere serving traditional English cuisine with a contemporary twist, equally as imaginative and as fresh, using ingredients that are grown and reared locally, including a wide range of herbs and plums from the hotel's own orchards;
The Potting Shed (www.dormyhouse.co.uk/potting-shed-restaurant): The Potting Shed is everything a Cotswold country dining pub should be. It's relaxed and inviting, with a large leather-and-oak bar and a rustic agenda. This is English pub grub as it ought to be: sticky ribs, great bangers, slow-cooked pork belly and fish that's been caught on our shores. Dress up and enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail, or dress down and bring the kids.

Das Haus ist so schön, noch besser als die Fotos. Die Innenausstattung ist genau das Richtige für ein Ferienhaus. Wirklich ruhige Lage, was wir gesucht haben, aber nur 10 Minuten Fahrt zu den geschäftigen Dörfern mit Geschäften, Restaurants und Cafés.
Helen2020-02-02T00:00:00ZWir hatten ein tolles Wochenende mit meiner Frau. Toller Ort, um von einem geschäftigen Leben abzuschalten. Wird zurückkehren!
Chris2020-01-27T00:00:00ZWunderbarer Ort zum Verweilen - wir wussten von den Fotos und früheren Kommentaren, dass es ein wunderschönes Häuschen sein würde, aber die Aufmerksamkeit auf viele kleine Details machte es noch spezieller. Auch unglaublich friedlich mit einer schönen Aussicht von beiden Seiten des Hauses und einer kurzen Fahrt zu den schönsten Dörfern der Cotswolds. Wir werden zurück sein, sobald wir die Gelegenheit haben.

Chipping Campden is one of the main market towns in the North Cotswolds, built by medieval traders with wealth created from the wool trade. With many thatched cottages, this is one of the most picturesque towns in the region. A notable feature of the town is the Market Hall which was built in 1627. Originally thought to be used in the wool trade, the main function of the hall was actually to give shelter to local cheese, poultry and butter sellers.
The High Street is relatively small, taking just five minutes to walk from one end to the other, and it has a number of well-regarded eateries ranging from tea houses to dining pubs and restaurants. This main street curves in a shallow arc which is flanked on both sides by terraces of ancient houses, each house having its own embellishments. This feature of the town is one of the reasons why, in 1970, the street was officially designated as a conservation area.
Chipping Campden marks one end of the Cotswolds Way which is a 102 mile National Trail linking Chipping Campden to Bath. For the majority of the trail it follows the Cotswold escarpment which gives the walker fantastic views of the surrounding scenery. The Way passes through many traditional villages and close to historical sites including Sudeley Castle near Winchcombe and Hailes Abbey. The countryside along the Way is very diverse, ranging from wildflower meadows to beech woodlands, providing visitors with perfect examples of Britain's stunning landscape.
Food & Drink
Chipping Campden has numerous places to eat and drink, with a range of cuisines and prices to suit most tastes and budgets. The list below is a small sample of the range of options available:
The Kings Hotel (www.kingscampden.co.uk): Modern British food with a contemporary twist. You will encounter mouth-watering choices like a starter of Duck Rillets with a Pea Panna Cotta & Pomegranate dressing, or main course of Braised Belly Pork & Fillet, Crispy Langoustine Tail, Roasted Apple, Celeriac Choucroute & Dauphinoise Potato. To finish, the dessert menu promises blissful indulgence with the likes of Caramel Banana Mousse, Pain D’epice & Coffee Soil. For a more informal option, relax in the friendly atmosphere of the stylishly refurbished Brasserie bar, serving morning coffee & brunch through to afternoon tea & dinner. Enjoy favourites such as Mussels in Garlic & White Wine, Home-made Aberdeen Angus Burger, Focaccia, Smoked Bacon & Tomato Relish with Fries;

The result? The very best of modern British cooking. Wonderful, simple food served at lunch and dinner in The Cotswold Grill or at dinner in The Dining Room at Cotswold House. On warm days, enjoy a drink, coffee, or lunch on the Pavilion Terrace tucked away in the hotel garden, its borders awash with summer colour.

Broadway is a beautiful village in the North Cotswolds, steeped in history and surrounded by stunning countryside. The village gets its name from the wide street, or broad way, that runs through the centre which was once the main road from Worcester to London.
This attractive High Street is bordered with chestnut trees and honey coloured stone cottages dating from the 16th century and is one of the most picturesque villages of the Cotswolds. The broad way is thought to be especially wide because at one time there used to be streams running each side of the main drive. These streams were eventually hidden in underground pipes where they would emerge at 'dipping' points, but sadly they are now almost completely invisible.
The village has artistic links with famous dwellers including J.M. Barrie, Mary Anderson and William Morris, who were drawn to the tranquillity of Broadway. It was here that Morris and John Ruskin pioneered the idea of the Arts and Crafts Movement which made its home in the area and went on to be an international movement.
One of the iconic features of the village is Broadway Tower which was built in the late 18th century by the Earl of Coventry. It is said that the tower was erected so that the Countess could see if her Cotswold estate was visible from Croome Court in Worcestershire, which it was. The folly stands some 1,024 feet above sea level, making it the second highest point in the Cotswolds after Cleeve Hill. In fact, on a clear day, visitors are able to see 14 counties from the top! William Morris was so taken by the tower that he went on to establish the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings in 1877.
Food & Drink
Broadway has a number of places to eat and drink, with a range of cuisines and prices to suit most tastes and budgets. The list below is a sample of the options available:
Russell's (www.russellsofbroadway.co.uk): Head Chef, Neil Clarke, serves modern British food in the award-winning restaurant, with local Vale of Evesham and Cotswold produce featuring throughout the daily-changing menus. The modern, airy dining room is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with friendly staff and laid-back service combining to create a relaxed and warm setting, day and night;
The Lygon Arms (http://www.thehotelcollection.co.uk/hotels/the-lygon-arms-hotel-cotswolds/): A 17th century minstrel's gallery, a grand open fire and an imposing barrel-vaulted ceiling greet you as you enter The Great Hall, the main dining room of the famous Lygon Arms Hotel. A destination in its own right, people travel miles to enjoy the restaurant's 2 AA Rosettes for excellence sumptuous cuisine and warm friendly service of the highest quality. A few steps across the courtyard, Lukes Bistro offers a relaxing atmosphere serving traditional English cuisine with a contemporary twist, equally as imaginative and as fresh, using ingredients that are grown and reared locally, including a wide range of herbs and plums from the hotel's own orchards;
The Potting Shed (www.dormyhouse.co.uk/potting-shed-restaurant): The Potting Shed is everything a Cotswold country dining pub should be. It's relaxed and inviting, with a large leather-and-oak bar and a rustic agenda. This is English pub grub as it ought to be: sticky ribs, great bangers, slow-cooked pork belly and fish that's been caught on our shores. Dress up and enjoy a pre-dinner cocktail, or dress down and bring the kids.
Wir hatten ein tolles Wochenende im Weavers Cottage. Perfekte Lage am Ende der High Street, nur wenige Gehminuten von den örtlichen Pubs, Geschäften und Restaurants entfernt. Sehr zu empfehlen das Sunday Lunch im Lygon Arms!

Sitting on a raised pavement, Red Lion Cottage is one of a short row of cottages, on a quiet no through lane in the picturesque village of Blockley.
The front door opens directly into the main living area, with the following rooms on the ground floor:
Living/dining room: The spacious living room is bright and airy, with lovely character features, including oak beams, a window seat, and a large, Cotswold stone inglenook fireplace, with a wood burning stove.

Steep, winding stairs lead up from the living room to the first floor landing, off which are the following rooms:
Master bedroom: A stylish room, with a window seat, which looks out over beautiful countryside. The room contains a wrought iron double bed and large built-in wardrobes;
Bedroom 2: Another lovely room, also with a wooden window seat that provides stunning views of the surrounding Blockley Valley. This room contains a double bed and a chest of drawers;

Stone steps lead up from the kitchen to a small, south-west facing garden terrace, which is a lovely suntrap in the warmer months of the year. The terrace has raised borders, and a gravelled seating area, with a table and four chairs.
Quiet, on street parking is freely available on the no through road that the cottage sits on.
Blockley is a popular village in the Cotswolds which is found within a triangle formed by three renowned market towns: Chipping Campden to the North, Moreton-in-Marsh to the South East and Stow-on-the-Wold to the South. Being close to these three towns has led to increased footfall in the village, bringing with it good quality pubs and a lovely village shop/café.
As the village is away from main roads, it avoids the heavy tourist traffic and so visitors can get a real sense of rural life, enjoying the rolling countryside which falls within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The peaceful Blockley Brook attracts tourists and locals as a quiet place to relax in the warmer months. This brook, together with the other brook in the village, played a part in Blockley's history as there were once 12 water mills which provided work in various industries over the centuries, including silk production and flour milling.
Architecturally the village has quite a different character in comparison to the rest of the North Cotswolds as it has a more similar style to that of the villages in the Stroud valley, but here they have used a more golden stone. This design is reminiscent of wealthier times as the majority of the cottages were built during the 17th and 18th century, at the height of the industrial era.
A popular attraction in Blockley is Mill Dene Garden which is a partner garden of the Royal Horticultural Society. With a misty grotto, stream and seats around the mill pond, this is a lovely place to while away the time looking out for the kingfishers whilst enjoying a cream tea.
Food & Drink
For a relatively small village, Blockley is blessed with a number of places to eat and drink, all just a short walk from anywhere in the village.
The Crown Inn (www.crownhotelblockley.co.uk): This 16th century country inn is situated in the heart of Blockley and features a restaurant serving dishes prepared with local produce, along with a bar with an open fire and a wide selection of real ales. This honey coloured historic inn is covered in Virginia creeper which turns a stunning red in Autumn.

Sie ist eine wirklich schöne Frau, sie hat mich wie zu Hause fühlen. Wir haben viel geredet, unsere Ideen, unser Wissen und unsere Neugier geteilt. Es war erstaunlich, ihr zuzuhören. Ihr Zuhause ist sehr warm und farbenfroh, mit einem sehr sauberen und komfortablen Schlafzimmer und einem herrlichen Garten. Sie hat einen sehr schönen Hund. Ich fühlte mich so gut, dass ich gerne bald wiederkommen würde, um sie kennenzulernen und etwas Zeit miteinander zu verbringen.

The Cotswolds are characterised by attractive small towns and villages, built of the underlying Cotswold stone (a yellow oolitic limestone). In the Middle Ages the wool trade made the Cotswolds prosperous and some of this money was put into the building of churches, leaving the area with a number of large handsome Cotswold stone "wool churches". The area remains affluent, which has encouraged the establishment of many high quality pubs, restaurants and antique shops.

SuperhostDuring the Covid-19 outbreak we are offering this space to those needing to self isolate, or support workers needing to live away from home. I will leave 3 days between each booking as well as extra cleaning. A small one bedroomed brick barn, in a working farmyard, done out nicely inside, and very cosy. It just needs a little TLC outside! It over looks the Cotswold Hills, and is 100 yards away from a footpath that leads you to Saintbury, and up the Cotswold escarpment.
Sadly there is no WiFi as we do not have access to it at property. The outside space has yet to be finished, and tidied up! However, there is space to sit outside and take in the sun on a picnic table just outside the door. You must like dogs as we have 4 roaming the farmyard as our house is 50 yards away. All the dogs are friendly and well behaved.
I am also offering a shopping service to those that have to self isolate. As it is a working farm there will be vehicles and people about the yard at different times.
We live at the base of the Cotswold Hills just outside Weston Subedge, 2 miles from Chipping Campden and 7 miles from Stratford upon Avon.

Blockley is very peaceful, yet it benefits from having two pubs and a community owned village shop & café, as well as a historic Norman church.

Honeysuckle Cottage is one of a row of Cotswold stone cottages, on a quiet street in the village of Blockley. The front door opens directly into the living room, and the following rooms are on the ground floor:
Living room: This bright and welcoming room has wonderful character features, including an exposed Cotswold stone wall with window seat, stone mullion window, and a cosy wood burning stove. There are two comfortable sofas, and a Smart TV with integrated DVD player;
Family bathroom: Located at the back of the cottage, with fabulous views over Blockley Valley, the refurbished bathroom has a roll top bath with an overhead rainfall shower, wash basin and a toilet.
Stairs lead down directly from the living room to the lower ground floor rooms:
Dining room: This delightful room has exposed wooden beams, a flag stone floor, large ornamental stone fireplace and another pretty window seat. The wooden dining table seats four people, and there is also a sideboard, a wine rack and a boot cupboard;
Kitchen: This well-presented room has an electric oven with a four-ring gas hob, fridge, freezer, slimline dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, kettle, toaster and filter coffee machine. There are also a good selection of cookery books.
Returning to the ground floor, a relatively steep staircase leads up to the first floor bedrooms, both of which have lovely countryside views:
Bedroom 1: This pretty room has a wooden floor and stone mullion windows, and can be set up as either a king size bed, or two 75cm wide single beds. There is a wardrobe with shelves;
Bedroom 2: Another lovely room, with stone mullion windows, which contains a king size bed.
The cottage's enclosed garden is at the rear of the property, and is accessed from the dining room on the lower ground floor. There is a decking area, bordered on either side by mature plants, which leads to a lovely seating area at the end of the garden, with stunning uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. There is a table and four chairs, as well as a charcoal barbecue.
Free on street parking is available on the quiet road outside the cottage.
Blockley is a popular village in the Cotswolds which is found within a triangle formed by three renowned market towns: Chipping Campden to the North, Moreton-in-Marsh to the South East and Stow-on-the-Wold to the South. Being close to these three towns has led to increased footfall in the village, bringing with it good quality pubs and a lovely village shop/café.
As the village is away from main roads, it avoids the heavy tourist traffic and so visitors can get a real sense of rural life, enjoying the rolling countryside which falls within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The peaceful Blockley Brook attracts tourists and locals as a quiet place to relax in the warmer months. This brook, together with the other brook in the village, played a part in Blockley's history as there were once 12 water mills which provided work in various industries over the centuries, including silk production and flour milling.
Architecturally the village has quite a different character in comparison to the rest of the North Cotswolds as it has a more similar style to that of the villages in the Stroud valley, but here they have used a more golden stone. This design is reminiscent of wealthier times as the majority of the cottages were built during the 17th and 18th century, at the height of the industrial era.
A popular attraction in Blockley is Mill Dene Garden which is a partner garden of the Royal Horticultural Society. With a misty grotto, stream and seats around the mill pond, this is a lovely place to while away the time looking out for the kingfishers whilst enjoying a cream tea.
Food & Drink
For a relatively small village, Blockley is blessed with a number of places to eat and drink, all just a short walk from anywhere in the village.
The Crown Inn (www.crownhotelblockley.co.uk): This 16th century country inn is situated in the heart of Blockley and features a restaurant serving dishes prepared with local produce, along with a bar with an open fire and a wide selection of real ales. This honey coloured historic inn is covered in Virginia creeper which turns a stunning red in Autumn. Walk inside to the scents of wood smoke from the open log fires and snuggle into a comfy chair by the fire, to view the daily papers with a coffee or something stronger. Dinner is served in the warm and friendly restaurant with lighter meals and snacks available in the bar.

Dies war ein wunderbarer Ort, um für ein paar Tage zu entkommen. Die Aussicht war fantastisch und es war großartig, zum örtlichen Geschäft hinuntergehen zu können, um das Nötigste für mich zu besorgen, wenn ich ohne Auto unterwegs bin. Je nach Bus wurde es manchmal etwas knifflig, aber es war toll, die Landschaft zu Fuß zu erkunden. Jeder Trail war sein eigenes Abenteuer. Das Cottage hatte alles, was ich brauchte und war sehr komfortabel. Ich würde auf jeden Fall gerne eines Tages wiederkommen, wenn ich die Gelegenheit dazu hätte.

Jasper2019-10-20T00:00:00ZInsgesamt gut, die Lage ist sehr gut, Joyce half mir auch, 2 für 1 Rechnungen zu drucken, das heißt, die Duschwassertemperatur des Badezimmers reicht nicht aus, wir sind 6 Personen, jede Person geht nach einer Weile baden, das Badewasser ist nicht heiß genug
Su2019-08-13T00:00:00ZWir hatten eine tolle Zeit bei Zoe. Die Lage ist perfekt! Die Zimmer sind sehr gemütlich! Und was noch wichtiger ist, Zoe ist äußerst einladend und immer bemüht, gute Tipps zu geben! Vielen Dank!!
Julie2019-07-29T00:00:00ZDies war unser erstes Airbnb und was für ein Vergnügen es war. Wir haben Zoe oder Mark eigentlich nicht getroffen, aber Telefon- und Nachrichtenkommunikation waren verfügbar und sie schienen sehr freundlich zu sein. Ein wunderschönes, uriges Anwesen, sehr nach unserem Geschmack. Unsere Unterkunft im ersten Stock über einem Dorfladen / Café bestand aus 3 mittelgroßen Doppelzimmern und einem Duschbad. Es waren keine Kochgelegenheiten vorhanden, aber in einem gemeinsamen Kühlschrank im Erdgeschoss war etwas Platz vorhanden. Es gab Fernseher in den Zimmern, aber wir haben diese nicht benutzt. Wie bei vielen alten Häusern sind die Treppen steil, sollten aber für die meisten Besucher kein Problem sein. Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn wir wieder in der Gegend sind. Sehr empfehlenswert! Danke noch einmal.

Ангелина2019-11-03T00:00:00ZWas für ein schönes, durchdacht präsentiert traditionelles Haus. Es war makellos sauber mit viel guter Qualität Bettwäsche und Handtücher.

Blockley selbst ist ein schönes kleines Dorf, das Cafe ist großartig und das Geschäft hat alles Nötige. Wir können die Great Western Arms sowohl für einen schönen Abend als auch für ein tolles Sonntagsessen empfehlen. Was für eine tolle Woche haben wir dort verbracht - unsere zweite Reise in die Cotswolds. Wir würden nicht zögern, nach Lammas Cottage zurückzukehren.

Das Haus selbst ist sehr gut ausgestattet und war sehr schön und sauber als wir ankamen. Da es sich um ein altes Häuschen handelt, sind die Schlafzimmer nicht riesig, aber das trägt nur zum Charakter des Ortes bei. Es gibt eine schöne Küche, Wohnzimmer und Garten hinter dem Haus, um abends oder nach einem lokalen Spaziergang zu entspannen. Blockley selbst ist eine schöne kleine Stadt, und wir fanden das lokale Geschäft / Cafe hatte alles, was wir vor Ort während eines dreitägigen Aufenthalts. Die Lage ist sehr praktisch, um herumzufahren und die schönen Städte zu erkunden. Es ist nur eine 5-6 Minuten Fahrt nach Chipping Camden, die viele Restaurants am Abend hat. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit und würden gerne wieder hier übernachten!

Chipping Campden is one of the main market towns in the North Cotswolds, built by medieval traders with wealth created from the wool trade. With many thatched cottages, this is one of the most picturesque towns in the region. A notable feature of the town is the Market Hall which was built in 1627. Originally thought to be used in the wool trade, the main function of the hall was actually to give shelter to local cheese, poultry and butter sellers.
The High Street is relatively small, taking just five minutes to walk from one end to the other, and it has a number of well-regarded eateries ranging from tea houses to dining pubs and restaurants. This main street curves in a shallow arc which is flanked on both sides by terraces of ancient houses, each house having its own embellishments. This feature of the town is one of the reasons why, in 1970, the street was officially designated as a conservation area.
Chipping Campden marks one end of the Cotswolds Way which is a 102 mile National Trail linking Chipping Campden to Bath. For the majority of the trail it follows the Cotswold escarpment which gives the walker fantastic views of the surrounding scenery. The Way passes through many traditional villages and close to historical sites including Sudeley Castle near Winchcombe and Hailes Abbey. The countryside along the Way is very diverse, ranging from wildflower meadows to beech woodlands, providing visitors with perfect examples of Britain's stunning landscape.
Food & Drink
Chipping Campden has numerous places to eat and drink, with a range of cuisines and prices to suit most tastes and budgets. The list below is a small sample of the range of options available:
The Kings Hotel (www.kingscampden.co.uk): Modern British food with a contemporary twist. You will encounter mouth-watering choices like a starter of Duck Rillets with a Pea Panna Cotta & Pomegranate dressing, or main course of Braised Belly Pork & Fillet, Crispy Langoustine Tail, Roasted Apple, Celeriac Choucroute & Dauphinoise Potato. To finish, the dessert menu promises blissful indulgence with the likes of Caramel Banana Mousse, Pain D’epice & Coffee Soil. For a more informal option, relax in the friendly atmosphere of the stylishly refurbished Brasserie bar, serving morning coffee & brunch through to afternoon tea & dinner. Enjoy favourites such as Mussels in Garlic & White Wine, Home-made Aberdeen Angus Burger, Focaccia, Smoked Bacon & Tomato Relish with Fries;
Cotswold House Hotel (www.cotswoldhouse.com): The kitchen team take their inspiration from the finest offerings of dedicated producers - whether it be wholesome crusty breads, locally-churned cheeses, home-reared meats, best Cornish fish, vegetables from the lush Vale of Evesham, or jams and preserves from small-scale artisan producers. The result? The very best of modern British cooking. Wonderful, simple food served at lunch and dinner in The Cotswold Grill or at dinner in The Dining Room at Cotswold House. On warm days, enjoy a drink, coffee, or lunch on the Pavilion Terrace tucked away in the hotel garden, its borders awash with summer colour. Sit under a shady umbrella and enjoy the peace and quiet from morning coffee to your early evening sun-downer;
Michael’s Mediterranean Restaurant(www.michaelsmediterranean.co.uk): Specialising in Greek and modern Mediterranean cuisine, served in a relaxed, intimate setting. Wine and dine in relaxed surroundings, with the warm ambience of open fires and a friendly service. From a delightful array of Mezze dishes, fresh fish and seafood with seasonal daily specials to the renowned “Marathona” Fillet Steaks.

The Cotswolds are characterised by attractive small towns and villages, built of the underlying Cotswold stone (a yellow oolitic limestone). In the Middle Ages the wool trade made the Cotswolds prosperous and some of this money was put into the building of churches, leaving the area with a number of large handsome Cotswold stone "wool churches". The area remains affluent, which has encouraged the establishment of many high quality pubs, restaurants and antique shops.

Broadway is a beautiful village in the North Cotswolds, steeped in history and surrounded by stunning countryside. The village gets its name from the wide street, or broad way, that runs through the centre which was once the main road from Worcester to London.
This attractive High Street is bordered with chestnut trees and honey coloured stone cottages dating from the 16th century and is one of the most picturesque villages of the Cotswolds. The broad way is thought to be especially wide because at one time there used to be streams running each side of the main drive. These streams were eventually hidden in underground pipes where they would emerge at 'dipping' points, but sadly they are now almost completely invisible.
Ein schönes Häuschen und in einem schönen Teil der Cotswolds! Das Haus war sauber und gut ausgestattet. Die Anweisungen zum Auffinden der Hütte und zum Einchecken waren sehr genau und leicht zu befolgen. Die Lage war perfekt, nur einen kurzen Spaziergang vom schönen Dorf Broadway mit exzellenten Pubs und Restaurants entfernt.

Blockley is a popular village in the Cotswolds which is found within a triangle formed by three renowned market towns: Chipping Campden to the North, Moreton-in-Marsh to the South East and Stow-on-the-Wold to the South. Being close to these three towns has led to increased footfall in the village, bringing with it good quality pubs and a lovely village shop/café.
As the village is away from main roads, it avoids the heavy tourist traffic and so visitors can get a real sense of rural life, enjoying the rolling countryside which falls within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The peaceful Blockley Brook attracts tourists and locals as a quiet place to relax in the warmer months. This brook, together with the other brook in the village, played a part in Blockley's history as there were once 12 water mills which provided work in various industries over the centuries, including silk production and flour milling.
Architecturally the village has quite a different character in comparison to the rest of the North Cotswolds as it has a more similar style to that of the villages in the Stroud valley, but here they have used a more golden stone. This design is reminiscent of wealthier times as the majority of the cottages were built during the 17th and 18th century, at the height of the industrial era.
A popular attraction in Blockley is Mill Dene Garden which is a partner garden of the Royal Horticultural Society. With a misty grotto, stream and seats around the mill pond, this is a lovely place to while away the time looking out for the kingfishers whilst enjoying a cream tea.
Food & Drink
For a relatively small village, Blockley is blessed with a number of places to eat and drink, all just a short walk from anywhere in the village.
The Crown Inn (www.crownhotelblockley.co.uk): This 16th century country inn is situated in the heart of Blockley and features a restaurant serving dishes prepared with local produce, along with a bar with an open fire and a wide selection of real ales. This honey coloured historic inn is covered in Virginia creeper which turns a stunning red in Autumn. Walk inside to the scents of wood smoke from the open log fires and snuggle into a comfy chair by the fire, to view the daily papers with a coffee or something stronger. Dinner is served in the warm and friendly restaurant with lighter meals and snacks available in the bar.
The Great Western Arms (https://www.hooky.co.uk/content/our-pubs/great-western-arms-blockley.ashx): The award winning Great Western Arms is the “Local” of Blockley. The “Western” as it is locally known, is a Hook Norton Brewery pub and is tenanted to Sharon Brace. It is right at the heart of the village both geographically and socially, and is where Sharon and her team serve up some of the finest food, drink and entertainment available. The pub has two rooms: one is used as the restaurant and the other houses a pool table, juke box and darts board (dogs are welcome in the pool room). The Pub has recently been extensively refurbished and now boasts 1st class facilities and comforts. The spacious lounge bar/restaurant retains its period "feel" but has been re-furnished and decorated with great taste and care. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and friendly.
Blockley Village Shop & Café (blockleyshop.com): The community owned shop and café is the hub of the village. The shop offers a wide range of basic groceries and necessities, and a tempting array of local products, including farm meat and free-range eggs, daily deliveries of local fruit and veg, freshly baked bread and locally made ready meals. Logs are generally stocked in winter. The licensed café is open all day, serving breakfasts, lunches, coffees and teas, and home-baked cakes. Take-away hot and cold food, including croissants, pastries and baguettes, is also very popular. The café, where free broadband is available, is a popular meeting place for locals and visitors of all ages.

Stepping inside this single-story property, you’ll get a real feel for the cottage’s homely vibe thanks to its bright entrance hall, country cream hues and quarry tile flooring.
Ahead to…
Family Bathroom
The main bathroom of the cottage sits between both bedrooms, accessed just off the bright entrance hall. In here you’ll find a modern over-bath shower with square rain-shower head, basin and toilet, plus attractive black and white contemporary floor tiles.
Left from the Entrance Hall to…

The heart of the home, Milliner’s Barn’s beautiful kitchen offers guests the feeling of a real farmhouse escape. Exposed beams and traditional quarry-tile flooring give the space a traditional feel, whilst cream wooden units, bright tiled walls and all the mod-cons you should need bring it well and truly into the present day.

Milliner’s Barn benefits from lots of private outdoor space for guests of all ages to enjoy. Alongside the small private suntrap patio, which sits aside its main entrance doorway, the rear of the property boasts a private, fenced decking area – complete with dining furniture and charcoal BBQ – and can be accessed from the living room. Leading on from patio is a pretty, walled lawn; completely private should you need, but also able to be shared with Field House Cottage if you’re staying as a group. (Field House Cottage sleeps 6 adults + 2 children.) Sit back on the decking and relax with an al fresco feast or let the kids and a doggie visitor run wild on the lawn, safe in the knowledge that they’re completely enclosed.
Local Amenities

A community 'Village Bar' serves drinks and bar bites and is also a short walk from the Barn.
The nearest local shops and amenities can be found in Chipping Campden, just a 5-minute drive from Milliner’s Barn. On the town’s High Street, you’ll find a well-stocked Co-Operative Food, well-equipped for the basic grocery amenities that you’ll need during your stay. For those in search of something a little special, Fillet & Bone, also situated on the High Street, offers beautiful artisan produce sourced from across the Cotswolds; rare-breed meat, seasonal vegetables, fresh breads, charcuterie and freshly-baked cakes and patisserie can all be found here. Slightly further afield, nearby Broadway (10-minute drive) offers a Warner’s Budgens and Nisa, whilst Evesham (25-minute drive) is closest for major supermarkets; an M&S Simply Food, Tesco Superstore, LIDL, ALDI, Morrisons and Co-Operative Food can all be found there.
If you would like to save time and take the hassle out of your stay, we recommend planning ahead with a grocery delivery; Ocado, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Morrisons all deliver to Milliner’s Barn.
Chipping Campden is quite simply one of the finest towns in the Cotswolds – well preserved and full of history, but also full of life and bustle.

Turn right and head through the arched oak door through to the open-plan living-dining area, with polished limestone floors throughout.
Living-Dining Area
As soon as you open the arched hallway door you will be amazed by the space and style of the Coach House’s open plan area, with its vaulted ceiling and French doors opening on to the patio and swimming pool. Look up, and you will see the mezzanine entrance to the bedrooms at either end of this superb room.
The dining area has a large rectangular wooden table to comfortably seat six, while the adjacent Living Area has a two-seater sofa and two comfy armchairs, plus a smart TV, Xbox 360 with games, DVD player and retro travel chest coffee table.

Local Amenities and Attractions
The Coach House is just 3 miles from two of the Cotswolds’ most attractive towns, Broadway (with Broadway Tower the second highest point in the Cotswolds where on a clear day you can see 16 counties) and Chipping Campden - one of the finest market towns in the Cotswolds, and host to the annual Chipping Camden Music Festival.
Pubs and Walks
Walk a couple of miles across the fields on public footpaths to the renowned and hugely popular Fish Hotel, halfway between Broadway and the Coach House.
Take a day to walk to and from the fantastic Ebrington Arms, 5.5 miles away, which produces its own Yubby beer as well as serving delicious food. Follow the Cotswold Way fromteh Coach House (see below) to Chipping Campden and then take the Heart of England and the Diamond Way to Ebrington.
Head to beautiful Dormy House on the Farncombe Estate, just above Broadway, and less than 2 miles from the Coach House. Here you can dine, have afternoon tea, or enjoy a pint and a snack, all in a fabulous setting.
Guests can step out of the front door, cross the fields on public footpath and join the 102-mile long Cotswold Way at Dover’s Hill.
Just up the hill is St Nicolas’ Church, a medieval church with a tall and slender spire that can be seen from all around. The church sundial dates back to the eleventh century and Arts and Crafts movement enthusiasts will be interested in features from the early 20th Century, including the chancel and north chapel ceilings; the north chapel screen (c 1904 by Ernest Gimson); the north chapel reredos (c 1920 by Alec Miller) and the Chancel chandelier (1911 by Charles Ashbee). Open by appointment. Please contact the owner of the Coach House for details.
Less than a mile down the hill from the Coach House is Saintbury Brocante, a vintage/antique shop in a rural setting with a tea shop serving cakes and snacks.
Exploring Further Afield
Just down the Cotswold escarpment from the Coach House, is Evesham and the Vale of Evesham - a great place to visit during asparagus season (mid-April to early June). Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare and the home of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and adjacent Swan Theatre, is only 13 miles away and the renowned Daylesford Organic Farm is an easy 14-mile journey.
Local Food Shops
The closest food shops are in Chipping Campden, just a 7-minute drive from the Coach House. On the town’s High Street, you’ll find a well-stocked Co-Operative Food. In Broadway (4 miles away) there is a Warner’s Budgens and Nisa, whilst Evesham (8 miles) is closest for major supermarkets, including an M&S Simply Food, Waitrose, Tesco Superstore, LIDL, ALDI, Morrisons and Co-Operative Food.

Broadway is a beautiful village in the North Cotswolds, steeped in history and surrounded by stunning countryside. The village gets its name from the wide street, or broad way, that runs through the centre which was once the main road from Worcester to London.
This attractive High Street is bordered with chestnut trees and honey coloured stone cottages dating from the 16th century and is one of the most picturesque villages of the Cotswolds. The broad way is thought to be especially wide because at one time there used to be streams running each side of the main drive. These streams were eventually hidden in underground pipes where they would emerge at 'dipping' points, but sadly they are now almost completely invisible.
The village has artistic links with famous dwellers including J.M. Barrie, Mary Anderson and William Morris, who were drawn to the tranquillity of Broadway. It was here that Morris and John Ruskin pioneered the idea of the Arts and Crafts Movement which made its home in the area and went on to be an international movement.
One of the iconic features of the village is Broadway Tower which was built in the late 18th century by the Earl of Coventry. It is said that the tower was erected so that the Countess could see if her Cotswold estate was visible from Croome Court in Worcestershire, which it was. The folly stands some 1,024 feet above sea level, making it the second highest point in the Cotswolds after Cleeve Hill. In fact, on a clear day, visitors are able to see 14 counties from the top! William Morris was so taken by the tower that he went on to establish the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings in 1877.

Das Cotswold Way Studio war absolute Perfektion. Wunderschön eingerichtet, alle Annehmlichkeiten, die man braucht, und es fühlte sich wie zu Hause an. Jessica war eine großartige Gastgeberin, die immer schnell reagierte und dem Cottage so viele persönliche Details verlieh. Wir liebten es, in die Stadt gehen zu können, um in den Geschäften zu stöbern und auswärts zu essen, und die umliegende Landschaft war atemberaubend. Wir wollen schon zurück.

FULL DESCRIPTION
GROUND FLOOR
Entrance Hall
Enter through the partially glazed front door straight into the light-filled Entrance Hall, which combines as a snug vestibule (great for sinking into the comfy armchairs while pulling off boots and coats) and practical room with cupboard for coats and wellies and a helpful umbrella stand. With its wooden floor, cream tongue-and-groove panelling and original beams, the Entrance Hall offers a warm welcome.
Left into…
The Living Room
The Tiffany blue and cream theme continues into this lovely room, tastefully furnished with two sumptuous armchairs and a large double sofa. The most striking feature in here is the inglenook fireplace with original beam work. Within the fireplace is a wood-effect electric burner. The Living Room is all ready for a cosy night in, where you can enjoy the large, flat-screen digital TV with Blu Ray DVD player and a wealth of films. Alternatively, there’s a Wii console with games if you’re feeling more energetic. An Emma Bridgwater DAB radio with iPod docking station on the dresser is set up for playing your own playlist or a podcast.
Back and left to...
The Kitchen
The beautiful and immaculate country-cottage kitchen has been carefully designed so that every appliance you’ll need for your stay is there, but cleverly hidden away to provide everything you need in a small space; the only obvious appliance is the gas hob with built in oven and extractor hood above. However, an integral slimline Hotpoint dishwasher and integral fridge can be found beside the cooker, whilst behind an ingenious bifold cupboard you’ll find the bread bin, Kenwood microwave and Dualit toaster and kettle. The wall units house everything you’ll need to cater for your group. There’s also an iron under the large ceramic sink and a high chair, picnic basket and vacuum in the under-stair cupboard.
Left through to…
Utility/Laundry Room
A compact space where you’ll find the Hotpoint combined washing machine/dryer, a small library of books, re-chargeable tea light candles and storage cupboards housing cleaning materials and the boiler.
Left through to…
Family Bathroom
As with the rest of the cottage, this room is impeccably and tastefully appointed with limestone floor and travertine wall tiles. Relax and soak away stresses in the large roll top bath that sits under the small private window overlooking the side path. Or enjoy a rainfall shower in the separate elevated double-shower enclosure. The bathroom is thoughtfully stocked with all the shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath you could need – so don’t weigh your luggage down with those heavy items.
Return out to…
Dining Conservatory
Streaming with bright light (even on an overcast day), the heated Dining Conservatory is a great living space: by day it’s an extra living and eating space where you’ll sit to enjoy your breakfasts and lunches and access the patio garden and BBQ outside. By night, it can be transformed into an intimate dinning space with shimmering lighting.
Return to…
UPSTAIRS
Up the stairs from kitchen turning right into...
Master double bedroom
The oldest part of the cottage, the master double-bedroom has a cosy yet luxurious feel, tucked under the beams and eaves. From the iron-frame double bedstead you can enjoy private views through the traditional cottage windows. The cushioned window seat is a wonderful place to sit and while away some relaxation time.
The bedroom has a lovely full-length cheval mirror, a deep clothes closet, a hairdryer and a digital flat-screen TV for bedtime viewing.
Up the stairs from kitchen turning left into...
Twin Bedroom
A delightful room with two large, single beds, fluffy bed linen with bed throws, original beams and window overlooking a flat roof to the patio beyond. Ideal for children, this room would also suit two adults because of its L-shaped layout, providing individual privacy in a shared space.
OUTSIDE
The area to the rear of the cottage has been laid to patio and is reached either through the side gate and path or through the back door from the Dining Conservatory. In this clever us of space you’ll find a lovely, ivy-walled sun trap. The main patio area is up two stone steps where there’s a large ‘Outback’ gas BBQ, a rattan-style patio table with four matching chairs to one side and two rattan-style sofas with all-weather coffee table on the other.
For a property in the heart of a village, this outside space is marvellously private being surrounded by high walls. (Note: one small window overlooks the area to one side but seems rarely unused.)
Bretforton is a small Cotswold village with a remarkable beating heart. The Community Shop and Café has become a social hub for the village, selling a wide range of essential items and local produce from 7.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday, 8am – 5pm Saturday and 9am – 1pm Sunday. You can find the Community Shop in the same grounds at Bretforton Social Club, which can be accessed by car from New Street or on foot by Main Street. For a more substantial shop, there’s Warner’s Budgens, 6 miles away in Broadway (open 8am – 9pm Monday – Sunday). The Chadbury Farm Shop in Evesham is also an excellent little source of fresh local produce. Alternatively, for a big weekly shop or if you need a pharmacy, there’s Morrisons and Tesco Superstore in Evesham.
If you don’t fancy cooking, The Fleece Inn is just across the village green. When asparagus is in season, it’s the only place to really enjoy this local speciality. The local faggots, home-made pies and fish and chips are favourites of ours. (They even do take away fish and chips, cider and beers!)
When you’re ready to go adventuring, Broadway, Broadway Tower and Chipping Camden are great for seasoned walkers or a short car trip out. Whilst further afield, Bourton-on-the-Water is a firm favourite for children with its famous Model Village, Birdland and ice cream parlours.
Should you have the misfortune of feeling unwell whilst you’re with us, there’s a doctor’s surgery in Evesham and hospitals nearby in Worcester and Cheltenham. The nearest dentist is Evesham Dental Health Team.
Wunderschönes und uriges Häuschen, hat sich wie zu Hause gefühlt. Das Fleece Inn Pub ist ein Muss für einen Besuch und würde jederzeit wieder hier übernachten.

Blockley is a popular village in the Cotswolds which is found within a triangle formed by three renowned market towns: Chipping Campden to the North, Moreton-in-Marsh to the South East and Stow-on-the-Wold to the South. Being close to these three towns has led to increased footfall in the village, bringing with it good quality pubs and a lovely village shop/café.
As the village is away from main roads, it avoids the heavy tourist traffic and so visitors can get a real sense of rural life, enjoying the rolling countryside which falls within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The peaceful Blockley Brook attracts tourists and locals as a quiet place to relax in the warmer months. This brook, together with the other brook in the village, played a part in Blockley's history as there were once 12 water mills which provided work in various industries over the centuries, including silk production and flour milling.
Architecturally the village has quite a different character in comparison to the rest of the North Cotswolds as it has a more similar style to that of the villages in the Stroud valley, but here they have used a more golden stone. This design is reminiscent of wealthier times as the majority of the cottages were built during the 17th and 18th century, at the height of the industrial era.
A popular attraction in Blockley is Mill Dene Garden which is a partner garden of the Royal Horticultural Society. With a misty grotto, stream and seats around the mill pond, this is a lovely place to while away the time looking out for the kingfishers whilst enjoying a cream tea.
Food & Drink
For a relatively small village, Blockley is blessed with a number of places to eat and drink, all just a short walk from anywhere in the village.
The Crown Inn (www.crownhotelblockley.co.uk): This 16th century country inn is situated in the heart of Blockley and features a restaurant serving dishes prepared with local produce, along with a bar with an open fire and a wide selection of real ales. This honey coloured historic inn is covered in Virginia creeper which turns a stunning red in Autumn. Walk inside to the scents of wood smoke from the open log fires and snuggle into a comfy chair by the fire, to view the daily papers with a coffee or something stronger. Dinner is served in the warm and friendly restaurant with lighter meals and snacks available in the bar.
The Great Western Arms (https://www.hooky.co.uk/content/our-pubs/great-western-arms-blockley.ashx): The award winning Great Western Arms is the “Local” of Blockley. The “Western” as it is locally known, is a Hook Norton Brewery pub and is tenanted to Sharon Brace. It is right at the heart of the village both geographically and socially, and is where Sharon and her team serve up some of the finest food, drink and entertainment available. The pub has two rooms: one is used as the restaurant and the other houses a pool table, juke box and darts board (dogs are welcome in the pool room). The Pub has recently been extensively refurbished and now boasts 1st class facilities and comforts. The spacious lounge bar/restaurant retains its period "feel" but has been re-furnished and decorated with great taste and care. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming and friendly.
Blockley Village Shop & Café (blockleyshop.com): The community owned shop and café is the hub of the village. The shop offers a wide range of basic groceries and necessities, and a tempting array of local products, including farm meat and free-range eggs, daily deliveries of local fruit and veg, freshly baked bread and locally made ready meals. Logs are generally stocked in winter. The licensed café is open all day, serving breakfasts, lunches, coffees and teas, and home-baked cakes. Take-away hot and cold food, including croissants, pastries and baguettes, is also very popular. The café, where free broadband is available, is a popular meeting place for locals and visitors of all ages.
