The cottage has a stunning view and living room/kitchen was unforgettable
A very comfortable cottage but for us the two flights of stairs were a problem .The garden could have done with a lot of tidying. Colin and Sandra Wales
The standard overall was 5 star
Very cosy cottage..Good location, lovely village to explore and walk around...
Such a beautifully appointed, tastefully kitted out, charming property in a very accessible but uncrowded part of the Cotswolds. The village of Blockley is delightful and within easy access of many beautiful destinations. Thank you for the very generous welcome pack which set the tone for a very comfortable and restorative break.
We love the cottage it’s so cosy and well appointed and also very well kept. We’ll be back for a third visit I hope.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this lovely cottage. We loved the layout especially the kitchen with the Aga as we have one at home. Slightly conflicting info re Aga instructions & page 7 missing from information booklet. We would love to re-visit.
Amazing place to stay, lovely and warm for a Winter visit and spotlessly clean. There was a small problem when we arrived but it was solved within a couple of hours. Great service too. Thank you
Lovely cottage with fantastic views,cosy and warm and well equipped. The only negative was I think the cleaner forgot to clean kitchen and sun room. Have told rural retreats and we’re going to sort it out.
The cottage was fine but the shower in the small bathroom was a nightmare to work. Ran cold and then very hot. Dangerous.if I was the problem there should be simple instructions as how to control it.
The cottage was very nice! Good location and no problem parking. Very nice hamper.
There were a few small hiccups with regard to communication of Wi-Fi password and no laundry detergent, upon check-in. The folks from rural retreat were marvelous and rapidly responsive! The three-story cottage was well appointed and the view from the garden and east facing windows was nothing short of spectacular. The café (converting to a gourmet restaurant at night) in Blockley was magnificent, and just a few minute walk away. Blockley is a great location for walks and for easy access to other destinations in the Cotswolds.
Super Lage und schöne Unterkunft...auch Bad ansprechend
Holiday cottage was comfortable, however, the top floor could certainly benefit from some tlc.. The master bedroom was furnished very basically, wallpaper slipping, needing filling, side table/chest of drawers definitely needs improving, however, the bed was very comfortable. The guest bedroom where we stored our clothes was a huge let down both in furniture and soft furnishings - we would have expected decent clothes hangers not half a dozen wire ones. The bathroom had to be cleaned before we could put our own toiletries on the shelving as this clearly had not been cleaned prior to arrival. The view from the cottage was absolutely spectacular and the garden would benefit from having the dead plants removed - again a little tlc would really help. There is another cottage just a couple of doors down from Foxtail which was cheaper and furnished to a higher standard which we were slightly envious of. In all a lovely cottage but for very little expense and effort it could be so much better.
Gorgeous cottage and surroundings. Spoke to the owner about a couple of issues, who was very polite and helpful. Loved the view, and was so peaceful.
A beautiful cottage with good amenities and amazing views.

If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
