Summary
No.4 The Old Coach House is a stunning property which sleeps four guests, in two elegant bedrooms, with two bathrooms. Located within a former 19th century coach house, this ground floor apartment has been finished to a high standard with stylish interiors and modern facilities which include wireless internet access and a Smart TV with Netflix subscription. Character features such as exposed Cotswold stone walls and wooden beams beautifully complement the contemporary design, and there is a raised patio to the front of the property, with free on-street parking readily available in the village.
Location
No.4 The Old Coach House is situated in the centre of the picturesque village of Blockley, a hidden gem whose lanes are lined with attractive honey-coloured Cotswold stone properties. The village has two country pubs, a children’s playground, historic Norman church and a thriving community owned shop and café which sits opposite the property. Located in a valley, there is a babbling brook which winds its way through the picture-perfect village and given its setting within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are many walks and cycle routes on the doorstep to enjoy.
Blockley is well-placed for exploring the delightful towns and villages of the North Cotswolds, as well as the many tourist attractions the region has to offer. Batsford Arboretum can be walked to via local footpaths and has 56 acres of glorious parkland to explore, and the market towns of Chipping Campden and Stow-on-the-Wold are just a short drive away, home to a range of boutique shops, tearooms, country inns and restaurants. Further afield destinations such as Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford and Bath are also within easy reach for day trips.

Booking and payment
Character Cottages is a marketing agency and we do not own any of the cottages listed on our website. We manage a proportion of cottages within our portfolio and the remaining properties are managed by a third party property manager or the property owner – your pre-arrival email will contain confirmation and contact details for your property manager. Bookings made via us form a legal agreement directly between you and the property owner.
For bookings commencing more than 10 weeks in advance, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required to confirm the booking. The balance payment is then due 10 weeks prior to arrival.
All payments are made subject to the cancellation policy set out in the standard Booking Conditions.
Security deposits
A security deposit of £150 is payable, which is returned after the letting period, subject to an inspection of the property. For the avoidance of doubt, guests are requested to leave the property in a reasonable condition, consistent with the property's appearance upon arrival. In the event that the owners, or their appointed housekeepers, have to spend additional time tidying up after your departure, then the cost of this extra time may be deducted from your security deposit. The security deposit is payable prior to arrival at the property, via a bank transfer or a valid debit or credit card.
Occupancy
The maximum occupancy of the property is four guests, at any point during your stay. Unauthorised over occupancy is a breach of our terms and conditions and may result in the cancellation of your booking and additional charges. Please consult us prior to booking if you wish to discuss the possibility of having more than four guests at the property.
Infants who sleep in a cot do not count towards the occupancy figure, however, due to space restrictions, the occupancy figure may only be exceeded by up to one additional infant.
Pets
Regrettably, pets are not accepted.

In order to provide you with as much detail of our properties as possible, we sometimes use wide angle photography, which can make certain rooms, or spaces, appear larger than they actually are. Wherever possible, we try to include a floorplan, with detailed dimensions of rooms and areas.
