“The cottage was lovely and we had a wonderful stay.”

It clean and well looked after, with lots of little touches that really made us feel at home. Great location in close proximity to some lovely Cotswold towns and villages. Thank you very much to the hosts.

“Location was excellent.”

Lovely village. Excellent shop and cafe. Very well located. The house was fine. It had everything we needed but all a little tired. Needs new pans. Urgently needs the seal on the shower screen replacing. Very yellowed and old. A couple of rattan garden chairs would have been appreciated. Tiny metal chairs were not pleasant. Good wifi connection. Generally a very enjoyable holiday

“We had a lovely weekend staying at Green Pump Cottage.”

Blockley was a lovely little village with a great pub - The Great Western Arms. The cottage was in a great location which allowed us to be able to explore some of the other pretty villages and towns in the vicinity. I would definitely recommend staying here, it was lovely and clean, decorated tastefully and in keeping with the character of the cottage.

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: Logs for the open fire are provided between October and April; guests must purchase their own outside of these months.

Note: Blockley is in a valley and guests should be aware that mobile phone reception can be poor; the signal is strongest in the second-floor bedrooms.

Note: The window in bedroom in the second-floor double room is set low, so this room may not be suitable for young children.

Note: There is right of access for neighbouring properties through the garden.
