39 Foxtail Cottage in Blockley offers a comfortable and well-equipped stay with stunning views, attracting guests back for repeat visits. The local shop and cafe enhance the experience, and the property's location is ideal for exploring the Cotswolds and enjoying peaceful walks.
Most guests found the cottage clean and well-presented, though a few noted areas that could benefit from more thorough cleaning or attention. The majority of reviews, however, did not raise significant concerns about cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views, peaceful setting, and proximity to local amenities and attractions in the Cotswolds. It serves as a great base for walks and exploring nearby villages.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable, with a warm atmosphere and cosy rooms. Some mentioned the beds being hard and issues with a shower's temperature control, but these were not widespread complaints.
The cottage is well-equipped, but some guests encountered issues with the AGA, heating, and Wi-Fi. Maintenance concerns were mentioned, such as the need for clearer instructions for appliances and minor repairs.
The welcome hamper was appreciated by guests, contributing to a thoughtful touch to their stay. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a courtesy and may not be a consistent offering for all future guests.
Perfect for a romantic getaway for two, this lovingly renovated and fully modernised cottage complete with Cotswold stone fireplace, open fire, Aga and pretty garden with sun terrace, is ideal for a break in the Cotswolds throughout the seasons.
Originally built for the workers of the many silk mills operating in the village during the mid 19th century, Foxtail Cottage sits within a charming terraced row of cottages with enviable rear views over a deer park and rolling Cotswold countryside.
At the ground level you will be greeted via an entrance hall into the impressive, dual aspect sitting and dining area with Cotswold stone inglenook fireplace, oak flooring and tasteful furnishings, perfect for retiring to when evening draws in. Downstairs at the lower ground level is a delightful surprise with a beautiful kitchen complete with Aga, leading into the light filled garden room, furnished as a second sitting room to enjoy the wonderful rear views by day and features bi-folding doors out to the decked area overlooking the pretty garden. The garden leads you down a few steps to a large sun terrace with sun loungers, a bistro set, Weber charcoal barbecue and chiminea. There are often deer in the park directly behind the sun terrace and if you are lucky, they will wander right up to the perimeter fence!
