I start this review by saying that we have stayed with Sykes before, but did not find this experience as good as previously.
The positives are that Blockley is a great base from which to explore the Cotswolds. We were lucky with the weather and spent most of our time outside. The description of the cottage is accurate, but the stairs to the 2nd floor are a challenge for anyone who is not agile. It would be a good idea to put a strip of anti-slip material on the bottom step as it is easy to miss it - particularly at night. Two of us did! The garden is lovely and a real bonus. The negatives are the late arrival time and the fact that there was no evidence of an intensive clean. Like other reviewers we found the house dusty - particularly the bedrooms - and in the lower ground floor, some of the surfaces had clearly not been wiped over as there were marks and stickiness. We started our stay by doing some cleaning and trust me, we are not Kim and Aggie who hunt out dirtâ¦.We found it disappointing that this had not been attended to given the recent comments of other reviewers. The late arrival time is not sustainable as you effectively lose the first day of your holiday. The 2 hours you would normally get from a 4pm arrival really does make a difference. Despite this, we like Blockley and will be returning to the cottage in September, but sincerely hope that we will be able to arrive for 4pm and that the cottage will have been cleaned. The stay would be better with a few matters attended to. A better vacuum cleaner is essential if you want guests to keep the cottage clean. Waste paper baskets in all rooms would be helpful, to avoid having to bring rubbish down to the LGF. The âsharpâ knives were very blunt and a wider range of knives would be great. An apron in the kitchen could be provided. I say all this because Throwers Cottage could be a really great place to stay with these few matters addressed and they would not be costly to deal with.

Absolutely lovely cottage.
We had a lovely stay at Barton cottage. Was a short easy walk into town. Parking was fine, we managed to squeeze the rear of our car into the space in order to unpack and then parked just over the road. The cottage was comfortable enough, beds very comfy and had everything we needed. Was very cozy in the evenings with the log burner going. As it was Christmas time when we came, the cottage was decorated for Christmas with lovely little ornaments dotted around and a Christmas Tree which was lovely. There was also a very generous welcome gift of biscuits, milk and wine etc in the fridge. I loved all the little extras, such as honey and jam for your toast and tea, coffee, hot chocolate and Alpen. Those sorts of things were a lovely touch. My only feedback (and I really am clutching to find something) is you could do with another arm chair to sit 4 people comfortably of an evening. The sofa can squeeze 3 people but it would not be comfortable. Also, the shower head is very low, I just about got underneath at 5 foot 5 but my husband is 6 foot 2 and had to angle it in a way that causes water to miss the screen completely. It needs to be raised as high as possible. Other than those things, this cottage is perfect for a stay in Bourton-on the -Water. Very comfortable for a very good price

We were dismayed with the late check-in time, however, as the reason given for this was to ensure that a full 'Covid' clean could be carried out, we were expecting the cottage to be in pristine condition upon arrival.
However, we arrived to find the bin in the kitchen full of rubbish and some of the mugs were not cleaned properly, there was also a lot of dust and fluff in corners and under furniture, and a used tissue down the side of the sofa. We also had to try and find a bulb for one of the bedside lamps that wasn't working - it would be useful if these minor things could be checked prior to arrival as they make such a difference and are often overlooked. Aside from this, the facilities were excellent and the cottage was very comfortable in a fantasic location. Blockley Village is a real gem, a very quiet spot in the heart of the Cotswolds. A note on using next door's garden as an entrance to the cottage - it would be good if this was highlighted more with maybe a laminated notice put on the gate. We brought our dog and felt uncomfortable just walking through the neighbour's garden (this would be worse doing this during winter when it's dark). We felt we should knock on their door first, however there was no answer.

We had the most delightful stay a couple of weeks ago at Barton cottage.
We arrived to a lovely welcome pack and the cottage itself was just perfect had everything we needed we did a fire the first night (as we have a woodburner at home ) but think we must of done something wrong as every time we opened door to put more wood on smoke came billowing out so we stopped using it but itâs probable something we did wrong, the shower was lovely the beds were comfy the kitchen had everything we needed and we just managed to get the car on the drive with a few manoeuvres but we got it on there, the location of the cottage is just perfect for Bourton the mousetrap pub pretty much next door is a great little dog friendly pub we also ate at smiths of Bourton lovely food and we had a drink at the Dial house which was beautiful and friendly too ,the village is very dog friendly and itâs a great location for visiting other places too we will definitely be back and will stay at Barton cottage again. I thoroughly recommend Barton Cottage

We loved our short break to Thrower's cottage.
The best bit was seeing the deer each day from the upstairs bedroom window.The cottage was very clean and was very well equipped. There was a pint of milk in the fridge, some local biscuits and basics such as coffee, tea and sugar in the cupboard. We sat in the peaceful garden reading and enjoying the tranquility. The stairs are steep but well lit with solid handrails (2 sets, one up to bedrooms and one set down to main living/dining/kitchen area and garden).We went to the community cafe on Friday night having booked a fine dining meal (Fridays only)which was excellent. The cafe is good for breakfast, brunch, snacks at other times. Shop next door. There are lots of walks from the cottage and information about these is provided. Only downside was late check in of 6pm especially as we had to leave by 10am on Monday morning. We got there a little early and cleaner was just finishing so we walked to the shop about 10 minutes away.
