Great location. The village of Blockley is lovely. The cafe is well worth going to for an evening meal. There's nice walking in the area, even just walking out from Blockley. The house itself is small, as is the garden. All quite nice and comfortable, but not spacious. The exposed stone inside and the character of the place does make up for that considerably. The stairs are steep and a little uneven, so take them slowly. The wifi and Smart TV were both good. Dog-wise - it was a nice gesture to include some dog treats in the welcome pack, and there were a couple of water bowls in the house. The garden is well fenced, particularly for a small dog, but is separated from the house by a path shared by all the cottages in the row. I think it's mostly used by the others on bin day. There is a gate at the end next to the cottage, and also a gate on the other side, although that's awkward to fully close without moving the neighbour's bins. Plus there's a gate to the actual garden, so once you're in there it's secure. This all worked fine for our dog, but if you have a bit of an escape artist you can't simply let them into the garden from the house without supervising.

Clematis Cottage is very pretty, very well equipped and overall perfect for anyone with a dog because of the enclosed garden which has a table and chairs and a lounger. However, the internet failed halfway through my fortnight, and the boiler failed three days before I left so I had no hot water. As far as I am aware, nothing was done about the internet. Rural Retreats offered me another cottage for the last two/three days because of the boiler, but to be honest, packing up and moving, only to pack up and move out again in two days, was too much, so I stayed where I was. With no hot water and no internet. I’m a bit disappointed in the owner - no communication with me, no apology.

Clematis Cottage is ideally situated in the quiet village of Blockley, from where it's easy to explore the surrounding Cotwolds villages. The cottage is small, but has two good-sized bedrooms and a small garden - just right for al fresco dinner (weather permitting). The cottage is very clean and comfortable - our thanks to the house keeper for making us feel so welcome and for the lovely hamper! Definitively recommended.

A nice cottage somewhat spoilt by lack of TLC. We had a disappointment before we arrived in that we were informed that there was no Freezer in the property. When we arrived the garden hedge and grass clippings were in bags piled on the garden chairs. The attractive garden patio furniture as shown in the brochure had been replaced by less attractive wooden furniture which was not on the patio but in the open sided shed. Late in the holiday we found the fridge overloaded with accumulated ice. But we had a good holiday and the cottage itself was 95% good. Its just the all important first impressions were poor

Every thing we needed was provided. Welcome basket excellent. Spotlessly clean, fresh flowers, all lovely. Beds and linen, blissful. Daniel from your office made a special visit to get us more logs for log burner. Very impressed. It was perfect. Only thing I would say, slip mat for bath and as I have arthritis stairs were a challenge, would it be worth mentioning that to new prospective visitors? I cannot speak too highly of all facilities. Thank you.
