“This property is very spacious and airy although the beds were uncomfortable and the lounge settee was also in need of replacing.”

Our dog loved the garden which was secure although very small dogs could have escaped through the garden gate. Only one outside light was working and there cobwebs above the cooker. However we did enjoy our stay at Bobby jos and with a little TLC this would be perfect. Blockley is a very small but very friendly village

“This is our 3rd stay at the cottage and we once again had a very enjoyable experience.”

New touches this year in the en-suite with the addition of a shower curtain and the fixed positioning option for the shower head were a welcome enhancement. As a further suggested enhancement ,whilst the main living area did have a fan it was still very warm and wound benefit from a mobile air conditioning / cooling unit. Thanks again for the hospitality and we look forward to returning in future.

- Jonathan, July 2022

“Lovely property in a lovely location, car is essential.”

Some of the paintwork could do with a freshen up, beds were comfortable and bath was deep and long making for a nice soak. Garden nice and secure for the dog. Would visit again.

- Carolyn, June 2022

We are pleased to hear that you had a lovely stay, if returning we would recommend a walk through the Bluebell Woods in the Dovedale End of the village, we will pass your comments onto the owner with regard to the decor. With best wishes Character Cottages Property Owner

“The house was clean but the garden furniture was not & the patio certainly hadn't been swept for a while.”

. The bedrooms were spacious but the mattresses were not comfortable & definitely need replacing along with the beds to king-size ones (as in most hotels these days) The Wifi code was wrong on the info & we had to phone to get the correct one so that needs updating.

- Karen, June 2022

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We really appreciate your honesty on issues you encountered during your stay and will take your suggestions for improvement into full consideration. Property Owner

“Had a great stay the cottage is wonderful and in a great location.”

Lounge furniture is not the most comfortable but was adequate. One suggestion would be to trim the height of the hedges as they obstruct the views over the fields. Would definitely go back and Blockley church and cafe are well worth a walk. Cotswold Barn nearby is an excellent place for breakfast or lunch.

- Kenneth, June 2022

Thank you for taking the time to leave a feedback, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay inside and enjoyed the area. We will forward your comments to the owner and look forward to welcoming you again soon. Character cottages Property Owner

“Hi - I already submitted feedback via the link two weeks ago so I do not understand why I am being asked again.”

However, my main points are as follows: Bobby Jo's is generally very good. Very clean; quiet and beautiful location and generally very good amenities. However, there are some issues which if they were addressed would make the property even better. The fact that they were communicated to you and the owners in 2020 and 2021 when we previously stayed makes the fact that they haven't been addressed even more frustrating! • The wifi password on the laminated sheet in the kitchen is incorrect. In fact none of the details on this sheet seem to be accurate so please remove. • Blinds/curtains for the upper windows in the lounge should be fitted. In summer the heat and light is dazzling, particularly when watching TV • No coat stands or hooks In the hall. Would be useful to have this for outdoor clothing (jackets etc) to prevent the hall from getting cluttered. Also somewhere to put boots and outdoor shoes to prevent the property from getting muddy. • Dishwasher service was out of date. • Front door bell not working • Would be useful to have more smaller drinking glasses (currently only two glasses which are not beer or wine glasses - not good if you want G&Ts!) • Long handled brush would be useful for keeping the kitchen clean of crumbs etc • Oven indicator kept showing that it needed auto clean. • Side gate not secure. Bolt can be opened from outside

“We enjoyed our stay at Bobby Jo's but were surprised to see that the lawn had not been cut and were unable to make use of it until we called the office to arrange for it to be done.”

(This was done quickly after our call! We were able to use the garden on the Sunday.) Lovely light lounge but the seating not the most comfortable for an evening in front of the TV! Overall a good stay.

- Peter, May 2022

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback and we're glad you had a good stay at Bobby Jo's. We're sorry that you were not able to make use of the lawn straightaway and hope this didn't impact too much on your stay. Property Owner

“Great cottage, great views and great village.”

Loved our stay, plenty of room and very peaceful. Village had an amazing coffee shop that served evening meals that were fabulous and a lovely pub that did extremely tasty meals. Couldn’t fault the village as everyone so friendly and even local fete was good. So much to do and visit surrounding the village/cottage.

“Lovely cottage in a quiet location amidst a slightly hilly village.”

Good for car parking and the local pub serves good fare. I’d love to know who owns the property and what their horse racing links are! Loads of horsey pics everywhere!

About the location

BLOCKLEY

Moreton-in-Marsh 3 miles; Bourton-on-the-Water 11 miles; Cheltenham 22 miles.

An ancient village once famous for its silk and corn mills, Blockley lies just 3 miles from Moreton-in-Marsh and features a unique collection of honey-coloured buildings with a pretty village green, two excellent pubs, serving hearty food and real ale, as well as a village store and café, serving dinner on a Friday night. Many walks and cycle rides through the beautiful rolling countryside of the Cotswolds can be enjoyed from the centre of the village, with the Macmillan Way, Heart of England Way and the Gloucestershire and Monarch's Way all running close by. Very close by, Moreton-in-Marsh boasts many elegant 18th century buildings and is home to traditional inns, tea rooms, restaurants and individual shops to suit all tastes. It also offers its own train station and lies on the intersection of the Paddington rail line from London. The town hosts the Moreton-In-Marsh Show, one of the UK's largest one-day agricultural shows, as well as the Moreton Beer Festival, an annual French Market, and a large outdoor market every Tuesday. The highest town in the Cotswolds, this ancient market town has played host to many fairs since the 12th century and today holds a biannual Gypsy Horse Fair, craft fairs and monthly farmers' market. Close by is Bourton-on-the-Water, which lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is known as the Venice of the Cotswolds as the River Windrush runs through the centre. Also within reach is the spa town of Cheltenham, boasting an incredible range of shops, cinemas, theatres, restaurants and pubs, as well as being famous for its horseracing festival in March, culminating in the Gold Cup steeplechase. Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Worcester and the waterfront city of Gloucester are also within driving distance, making Blockley a great base for a Cotswolds holiday.

Note: For the comfort of future guests, we ask that dogs remain out of bedrooms, stay off the furniture and that no trace of a dog remains after your departure.
