Knoll Cottage

About this property

Knoll Cottage is a beautifully presented honey-coloured Cotswold stone cottage laid out over four floors, with two lovely bedrooms, perfect for a family or group of friends seeking a luxurious base to explore the wonders of the Cotswolds.

Be welcomed into the sitting room, where you can look forward to evenings curled up on the sofa, overlooking the views of the Blockley Valley, as you enjoy the evening's entertainment courtesy of the TV, with the woodburning stove creating a gentle glow in the room and keeps you warm.

As you start to feel peckish, make your way down to the lower-ground-floor, into the kitchen/diner, where you can conjure up a delicious feast for your guests, utilising the electric oven and hob, fridge and microwave, as well as a handy dishwasher for an easy clean up!

Gather around the stylish dining table to dig into your feast and uncork a bottle of wine to toast with your guests for a wonderful holiday that lies ahead.

A handy cloakroom completed the lower-ground-floor, containing a basin and WC, as well as a washing machine and tumble dryer for you to wash your clothes and go home with a bag full of clean washing!

As the night draws to a close, you have a choice of the master room, housing the first-floor, which has lovely views overlooking the Blockley Valley and a king-size bed, and the second bedroom, housing the second floor in the eaves, containing a super-king-size bed (zip/link, can be twin on request), boasting an en-suite bathroom, both with ample storage space for your belongings.

In the morning, enjoy an invigorating rinse in the walk-in shower before heading down to the garden to catch the morning sunrise, with far-reaching views overlooking the Blockley Valley and ample seating, surrounded by mature shrubs, and beautiful flowers

Get ready for a day out and start in picturesque village of Blockley where you can enjoy a variety of walks and cycle routes including The Monarch’s Way long distance walking trail which passes through the village and can be followed either north to Chipping Campden or up and over the ridge towards Moreton-in-Marsh, skirting the fringes of Batsford Arboretum, and finish off your day with a well-earned tipple and meal at The Great Western Arms pub.

At Knoll Cottage, you are close to the bustling market town of Stow-on-the-Wold where you can take a walk around the market square, which is the heart of the community and offers boutique shops, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants, as well as the Farmers’ Market which occurs every second Thursday of each month, featuring inviting local produce.

Create long-lasting memories with your loved ones at Knoll Cottage.

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.
