A stunning 17th Century three-storey terraced cottage, with a wood burner, set in the heart of Blockley in the North Cotswolds which can accommodate four guests in two bedrooms.

A beautiful house, very clean and well maintained in a very pretty village

The house is beautiful, and although it's old, it's perfectly restored, with many thoughtful details and very well decorated.
The beds are very comfortable, and it has everything you need. It was very clean and well-maintained.
The location is excellent for exploring other towns in the area. The town itself is charming. The only downside is a very steep staircase, which wasn't a problem for us, but it's something to be aware of.
I would definitely return.

The views from Bankside Cottage were outstanding, we loved spending time in the snug, just looking out over the hills. Blockley was well placed to visit the renowned surrounding villages and National Trust’s Hidcote Garden and Snowshill. Beds were comfortable with crisp linens, towels fluffy and plentiful. Bathrooms clean. Kitchen was well equipped, a fresh pint of milk in fridge on arrival was a welcome touch. Blockley itself was very pretty, loved the local community shop and cafe where we enjoyed breakfast on our final day, plus nearby Chipping Camden. Well-known supermarkets if needed were in Moreton on Marsh a couple of minutes drive away, Wi-Fi and TVs worked well. Loved books on points of interest. Prior to booking had seen mixed reviews about parking however it was fine, we were able to park outside, this is an old quaint village with narrow streets and therefore as expected. Plus there was further parking by shop, if preferred. We knew stairs inside this listed cottage were steep prior to arrival, and used bannisters throughout our stay to be extra careful (something to consider if you have young children or mobility concerns). Similarly stairs in back garden which did have bannister and were well lit. We loved our stay, my only suggestion for improvement would be check in/ out times 16:30 does seem really late to check in would have preferred 15:00 and similarly 10:00 a touch early to check out. Other holiday let’s and hotels used previously it’s usually 15:00 check in and between 11:00 and 12:00 check out which makes stay easier.

Amazing little terraced Cotswolds stone cottage in the heart of bloxley. We loved our short stay. It had everything we needed and walked to the cafe, pub etc…

Only issue that was a little tricky was the street parking outside of that was amazing

Outstanding location. Upstairs window brace was broken. Kitchen hot water faucet handle not connected so didn’t work. Couldn’t figure out how to turn off mirror light in one bathroom or how to turn on in second. I mention these in this review because I couldn’t get through on phone or by email to property manager to tell about these so doing so here. Didn’t stop us from loving every minute here.

Wow!! What a glorious setting for our first stay in the Cotswolds.
As we opened the front door we were immediately met with this beautifully renovated cottage, which has been very tastefully restored. The beds were so comfortable and the sumptuous bedding adorning them was sublime. Every detail had been thoughtfully considered for the discerning traveller.
I would thoroughly recommend Bramble Cottage, as a setting to sample a traditional cottage, within the beautiful surroundings of the village, in the Cotswolds.

Had everything in the kitchen but it is a tiny fridge so was difficult planning meals for 4 people and getting some drinks chilled.
Bedrooms were comfortable, I think fans would help if you are there in the warmer months. Be prepared for very steep stairs.
